McCain Fine Gold

Just proving that every now and then the writers of SNL can still pull off a funny sketch!

(sorry, I just have issues embedding videos from nbc.com)

On a slightly unrelated political note, a girl I work with went to the Obama-Clinton (Bill, not Hillary) rally last Wednesday and brought me back a button and a yard sign. The button is proudly displayed on the strap of my purse and the sign is on my front door (on the inside).

...and on a completely unrelated sports note, Texas LOST last night to Texas Tech. This means that when the rankings come out later today, Bama and PSU should be #1 and #2 in the country! There was some speculation by the commentators last night that Oklahoma could jump Penn State, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the fact that we're still 9-0 and Oklahoma has a loss will keep us up.

A Rare Sports Post

How 'bout them Lions? When I left work last night, Ohio State was winning a defense-heavy game 6 to 3. When I got home (to find Scott PLAYING VIDEO GAMES instead of holding vigil for me) the score was 13-6. And we were winning! I got to watch the last minute of the game, including that amazing interception in the end zone, and then I did my College Football Happy Dance. Scott did a little happy dancing too, though his game wasn't half as exciting.

How 'bout them Phillies? I watched 4 innings of this game (minus a few SNL sketches) - enough to see the Phillies' back-to-back home runs, and to see the Rays come back to tie the game in the 8th. Then I went to sleep. I just didn't want to risk staying up to watch extra innings. It looks like they pulled it off though, and are now up 2-1 in the series. Game 4 is tonight.

Back to PSU for a minute. They are off next week, and that worries me a bit. Bama would have been #1 if they hadn't had the week off when Texas jumped them in the rankings to become #1. Now that Ohio State is out of the way, I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that they stay undefeated for the rest of the season and that Texas or Bama loses (sorry Scott). But what happens if #4 wins next week and they jump us? Hopefully that won't happen.
