Shocker, I know: Biden got his facts wrong about Palin

"Hey Joe, I didn't know you could travel through time!"

At the vice presidential debate last night, Joe Biden made a curious comment regarding Sarah Palin:

“You know, I heard that death panel argument from Sarah Palin. It seems that every vice presidential debate, I hear this kind of stuff about panels. But let's talk about Medicare..."

Wait a second. Palin was claiming that  the implementation of ObamaCare would involve death panels in 2008?

The legislation wasn't introduced until the summer of 2009. 

Live-Blogging Tonight's VP Debate

Last week's presidential debate was an amazing, incredible evisceration of Barack Obama's campaign, and I am really looking forward to tonight's contest between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan.

Once again, I'll be live-blogging tonight from my Sulia account. You can follow the posts on the Sunshine State Sarah Facebook page or on Twitter at @rumpfshaker.

The Romney campaign has a widget for following the Twitter feeds of their staffers. I've embedded it below:

Happy Halloween

So Long To Ya, 2010

I love, love, love the wacky sense of humor from the guys at Jib Jab. Here's their wrap-up of 2010, as sung by Obama and Biden puppets. 

Why puppets? Well, why not puppets?! :)

Memorial Day

It's Memorial Day, and for those of us involved in politics, that means our inboxes are filled with generic patriotic statements from every single political candidate who has managed to find our email address. OK, we get it, you support the troops, you love America, yadda yadda yadda. How about next time you disable the "Contribute to My Campaign" link when you're talking about those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country?

Seriously though, it drives me absolutely bonkers that President Obama couldn't be bothered to attend the ceremonies at the Arlington National Cemetery today.  It's not like he had to travel very far...all he had to do was stay in town.  Pathetic.  Google Maps shows that it's only 2.2 miles from the White House to Arlington.  He could have walked.
