Last night, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert announced dueling rallies in Washington D.C. on October 30th. Stewart's will be the "Rally to Restore Sanity" and Colbert, for his part, will host the "March to Keep Fear Alive." Both have encouraged their viewers to attend and to bring signs appropriate to their particular rallies.

Apart from the fact that the goal should be to DOUBLE the number of attendees that went to see the Beck/Palin Snore-a-pa-looza last month, the question is...

...what will YOUR sign say?

Pastor John Cleese or whatever the hell his name is down in Florida plans to either burn a Koran tomorrow or pull a Double Ginsberg or both. In any case, in response to Burn a Koran Day, I would like to welcome you all to the unoffical "Internaional Wipe Your Ass with 'Going Rogue' Day."

I sincerely hope you all can attend.

I have noticed, of late, a number of my fellow Kossacks are ready to throw in the towel on the Obama presidency. This is despite the fact that we have yet to pass the anniversary of his first year in office and is in spite of the fact that Mr. Obama has been working at a furious pace to both overturn the worst of the Bush years and shape his own legislative agenda. This willingness to give up on Barack, to me, smacks of impatience at best and naivete at worst.

I'm old enough to remember this point in the Clinton presidency and I'm here to tell you, my friends, it was far, far worse than this. The Big Dog got off to an awful, clumsy start and didn't really recover his bearings until after the '94 elections that gave him that paragon of virtue and conservative intellectualism, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as his legislative partner.

Barack Obama and George W. Bush will sit down in the Oval Office for a chat this afternoon. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!

Well, since we can't hear it for real, we'll just have to imagine it:

Now it's all down to one debate. Tonight, McCain and Obama will face off for the last time. And after his dismal performance in the last two debates, poor John McCain is getting advice from everyone, most of it contradictory. "Be visionary!" "Be nasty!" "Be tough!" "Be compassionate!" "Be yourself!" "For God's sake, stop being yourself!"

So McCain is stuck. He's screwed. Barring Obama taking off his pants and inviting McCain to kiss his ten-points-ahead-in-the-polls ass, McCain stands little chance of making a difference tonight. He's in so much trouble, I've decided to put it to music. The following is called "McCain's Lament" and it is sung to the tune of "Gee, Officer Krupke" from "West Side Story."

Enjoy:

Everyone is abuzz about Sarah and Joe going head-to-head tonight. The TV ratings, after all this hype, should be through the roof. Shoot, I'm a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs and I'm foregoing watching the Cubs v. Dodgers playoff game just to catch the hot Senator-on-Governor action.

The McCain camp has now done all they can do to limit the Palin damage. They put her through debate boot camp, they tweaked the rules to tamp down the interaction between the participants and, most importantly, they have lowered expectations so severely that Palin, if her pants do not actually fall off, has a chance of coming off looking semi-plausible as a candidate.

Remember, this is someone who has just survived a three-day, intensive debate prep. She has been warned about going off message and I'm willing to bet that her warnings involved sharp raps with a ruler. Let's listen in:

At some point in the next few weeks, Governor Sarah Palin will sit down with ABC's Charlie Gibson and they'll have a little chat. Doubtless, Palin's claim of saying "Thanks, but no thanks" regarding the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" is going to come up.

In addition, it is impossible to imagine that the McCain folks aren't prepping Sarah night and day for her post-nomination press debut. Anticipating this very question, they will have an answer ready. And it'll be a doozy.

So let's say we take a crack at it ourselves?

In what can only be described as a contradictory, logic-impaired and stunningly dumb piece of horse-hockey, writers Stephen Biddle, Michael E. O’Hanlon and Kenneth M. Pollack penned an op-ed for the NY Times today called "Not Quite Ready to Go Home" and I’d like to take a moment to deconstruct this mess.

Short version: These guys basically agree with Barack Obama’s plan for withdrawal, but they go out of their way to try and prove that he’s wrong. Head spinning yet? Stay tuned.

(By the way, it may look like I cut and pasted most of their story in the following, but I actually cherry-picked. Go to the link to see the entire piece in all it's glory.)

Okay, I admit it. I'm a New York Times reader. I got hooked on the paper after they offered me a free 8-week daily subscription in the weeks leading up to the 2000 election. Suddenly, the paper started appearing on my doorstep every day and I'd crack it open and say to myself, "Wow! So this is what a newpaper is supposed to be like!". Up until then, my only daily paper was the Chicago Tribune which, yes, has it's merits (Doonesbury!) but is a pale comparison to the Grey Lady. (Plus the Trib is run by some pretty odious right-wing hacks. But I digress.)

I've been asked, repeatedly these days, to join in the Obamania.

I am to sense the Obamomentum.

I'm asked to believe that this is his Obamoment.

Collecting Vonnegut quotes today. Read ‘em all. It’s worth it.

First this exchange from "Sirens of Titan"

"I guess somebody up there likes me."
"What makes you think anyone up there is remotely interested in you?"

In the hottest news story of the day, Pastor Ted Haggard of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, a man known for his vociferous attacks on homosexuality and gay marriage, was revealed to have been paying a gay hooker for sex and using methamphetamines. No big surprise to anyone with a passing knowledge of hypocrisy in high places, right?

But to inject a note of humor into this story (as if it needed it), I refer you to an article posted at www.tedhaggard.com which profiles Pastor Ted as he was about to ascend to the Presidency of the National Association of Evangelicals. I've edited it down quote a bit and my comments are outside the quotes.

Wait for the punch line. It's priceless.
