So I watched the Sarah Palin speech at the RNC after the Yankees game last night.
It was cute to see all of the "hockey moms" in hockey jerseys in the crowd.
I'm not getting into the politics of it -- Newsday has many fine political blogs if you want to talk about that aspect of it -- but I do have two observations about the speech:
1) If you know me, you know I love sarcasm. But wow. Palin sure loves the sarcasm. At times the speech reminded me of a Comedy Central roast of Barack Obama. I half-expected live cut-ins to Obama in a tux fake-laughing at Palin's digs. And where was Joey Bishop?
2) I LOVE the wacky Palin family. If they don't win, there has to be a reality show built around them. Here's Bristol and Willow and Trig and Truck and Trap and Boomer! Or whatever they are all called.

FINE?
That's a matter of opinion AR. The Spin Cycle has inherited the title of Pavlov's Blog. The Palin bashing over there has dwarfed anything you and Baumbach ever wrote about the Isles.
You guys are Molly Ivins and George Will compared to Riley.

Feel free to rip us, but this forum is not the place to express your displeasure with other blogs.
Sorry, didn't see that in the terms of service.

Sorry boys, I tried to send a compliment your way
