Heh. You read me right. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Joshua Trevino, co-founder of the conservative blogging flagship site Redstate can’t pull the trigger for the McCain/Palin ticket.

We all knew it was coming. Naturally, John McCain wants to change the subject. He’s getting his political ass kicked up and down the field and his winking gimmick of a VP has turned out to be a net loss for his campaign. Negative is all they’ve got left, and smears are the only bullets still rolling around in the bottom of the bucket.

When you’ve got no substance, you’ve got to attack your opponent's character. So what do McCain and the Winking Buffaloon trot out?

I watched last night’s Vice-Presidential debate thinking that maybe, just maybe, we’d get a glimpse of the real Sarah Palin. Is she really the numbskull we saw in those Katie Couric interviews?

After taking the night to digest it all, my opinion is that she is a numbskull, much in the same way that George W. Bush is. What did we learn about Gov. Palin based on her answers (or lack thereof)?

Last night, my fiance and I watched Sarah Palin attempt to reignite the culture wars that have so damaged our nation.

We heard her lie repeatedly. About herself. About Obama. About John McCain.

We heard her disparrage community organizing, and those whom such efforts are designed to support.

We heard Rudy Giuliani say that Democrats "gave up on America".

In his satirical (and hilarious) book The Areas of My Expertise, funnyman John Hodgman categorizes the State of Texas like this:

NICKNAMES: The Homeland, More Mexico

MOTTO: "Friendship, Except When Betrayed, or Approached by Strangers."

NOTES: You have heard the saying that everything is bigger in the Lone Star state, and it is true that the cats are the size of dogs and the dogs are the size of European cars. But Texans themselves are of normal proportions, with normal-sized dreams and loves, who just happen to own cars that are the size of twenty-five European cars.

Like all good satire, there’s a grain or two of truth in Hodgman’s summary. I work in the environmental consulting industry, often in support of the development and permitting of renewable energy facilities (e.g. wind and solar). Last week these efforts brought me to the near center of a vast sea of Republican red: West Texas.

"Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." — Steve Earle.

I’m big fan of Townes Van Zandt. Unlike Steve Earle, I never had the opportunity to know or play music with him. Anyhoo, I had to work late last night to meet a report deadline, so I did what I often do: dialed my iPod to the TVZ collection and put it on shuffle. For hours, many of Townes’ best tunes pumped through my headphones while I wrote the narrative sections of my scientific report and formatted table after table.

More after the fold.

So this is what all the fuss is about:

You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama said. "And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

-- Senator Barack Obama
