 It happens every two years, and it's never pleasant.  No, it's not Dave's lifelong bout with herpes... it's the plaintive process we call the free election.  This year, unremarkably, is particularly unpleasant.  I think it has something to do with the landmark nature of the candidates.  The first black man with a legitimate chance to win, first woman to be vice president, millionth old white man to venture into the well-charted territory of caucasian leadership.  W

You know the expectations were rock-bottom when people are saying you did a "good job" just for being able to form a coherent English sentence. In that sense, in the sense that she didn't stumble spectacularly over her own unintelligible verbosity like she did in the Couric interviews, yes, Palin performed well in last night's debate. But that shouldn't be considered an achievement. We should expect those vying for the second-highest office in the government to not only be able to form
