Republicans know how to crash and burn in spectacular fashion. Sarah Palin, right before a national holiday? You go, girl! If you want to commit political suicide, there is absolutely no better way to do it, let me tell you. If she did this next week, would it get as much play as it will over the long weekend? Good freaking grief.
This is a pretty sharp blow for Republicans, who are reeling from Ensign and Sanford already. Sanford and Palin were presidential candidates, for crissakes. Who will they go with now? Mormon guy? That guy that no one knows about? That Indian dude with zero charisma?
Palin can rile the base, whip them into a fervor, and raise money. Rumor has it that she is being investigated for credible corruption links in Alaska and this is just damage control. I can’t imagine it’s for a congressional or presidential run; I don’t know how stepping down and screwing over your home state well before 2012 helps anyone’s chances for a higher seat, especially since the knock on her was that she lacked experience.
Anyway, power to her. She’s going to need it.

I’ve taken a shine to speaker building, what with the exotic (re: awful) wiring I’ve done with some setups and the number of unused speakers I have laying around.
It’s all the in the parallel wiring. I’m not going to bore you with details, but the math is incredibly interesting.

There is such as a thing as beach soccer. I mean, why not, right? It’s 5v5, and it’s incredibly riveting. If you’ve ever played any arcade sport game, it plays as fast and as ridiculous as those. I mean, I watched a sequence where the goaltender hurled the ball the length of the court (it’s a small arena), where the forward did a header pass to a striker who bicycle kicked it in. Unfreakingbelievable.
It could be that Ururguay just sucks at this form of game; they were losing 9-1 when I started watching.

Have a safe and happy weekend, everybody.
