My Brain Contemplates A Topless Jessica Alba For Political Reasons

There was a lot of longer pieces I have yet to read in my feed. Today's not a gym day, so I'll be looking at them over lunch. Not getting a whole lot of story writing done these days, sad to say. Let's get right to it.

Jessica Alba makes 'raunchy topless bondage poster' to get out the vote!

( Yay, Jessica Alba makes WND crazier! )

Wick Allison endorses Obama

( And who is Wick Allison? )

Stephen Colbert nails John McCain!

McCain himself is famously reticent about his Vietnam experience. He only mentions it when people ask unrelated questions. How dare you question John McCain on (noun that's bothering you). When he was a POW, he didn't have (same noun).

Brad and Andrew, at it again! This time, over Marc Ambinder.

( Andrew quotes approvingly. Brad says a closer look reveals that Ambinder doesn't know that $5000 is less than $12000 )

John McCain on the coming liberation of... Spain!

( Let's get this story right, okay? )

Obama reminds voters that McCain is anti-choice

( A risky strategy, but one John Stewart thinks in a winner! )

Palin answers a shouted question "off the cuff."

( “Prompting concerned looks from staffers.” )

Mitt Romney: "I was for age-appropriate sex education for kindergarteners before I was against it."

( Romney spins, hard. )

Martha Stewart says she'd feel "really, really weird about a president who doesn't use a computer."

But Martha doesn't come across so great herself in the segment, so maybe it's a wash. Still, I'm enough of a Martha queen that I felt compelled to include it.

The idiocy of the current right in two images

Instructions:

• Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair - just take a picture.
• Post that picture with NO editing.
• Post these instructions with the picture.

Because all the cool kids are doing it. I didn't edit it at all; I just have an excellent flickr-posting toolchain. The photo was taken at 9:20 this morning at the office.
