McCain’s speech
John McCain addressed the GOP convention Thursday. Like in the Olympics, the networks ran the word "live" in the corner of the screen, but in this case, it was to reassure Americans that McCain was still alive.

Senator McCain promised change during his speech at the Republican National Convention. With his age and Palin’s kids, I believe there’s going to be a lot of change... diapers, in the White House.

Media
CNN host, Wolf Blitzer, called Sarah Palin’s speech at the GOP convention a "Grand Slam." Close friends claimed he felt otherwise, but when he heard Palin advocates the shooting of wolves from planes in Alaska, he didn’t dare criticize her.

Sarah Palin
Political analysts believe that the fact the Sarah Palin admitted that her teen daughter was pregnant after having premarital sex, has paid off for the Republicans. Fortunately, they didn’t go with the other idea someone suggested: to say the daughter was pregnant after seating on a stall at the Minneapolis Airport.

Political analysts predicted Thursday that Republicans would use Sarah Palin to appear more often in front of the media but without talking much. That’s a clear aim at obtaining the male vote. What man wouldn’t like a hot woman that doesn’t talk?

Republicans and Democrats both agree that Sarah Palin as a woman deserves a place in the White House. What neither party dares say is that they agree it should be the kitchen.

Democrats
Reverend Jesse Jackson is being treated at a Chicago hospital after experiencing severe stomach pain. He wasn’t the only one; there were tons of Democrats that experienced the same symptoms after hearing Sara Palin’s speech.

Obama scored $8 million since Palin’s speech from over 130,000 donors. Apparently, they’ve been selling souvenirs with pictures of Sarah Palin.

Jobless claims rose unexpectedly last week, the government said Thursday, mostly because it includes all the McCain’s staffers that were fired for being in charge of Palin’s vetting process.

Weird News
According to Fashion Magazines, Cindy McCain’s outfit at the GOP convention was worth almost $300,000. To be fair, Hillary once had a dress that was worth way more than that, actually, after getting stained.

A UPS driver surpassed one million miles on his UPS delivery truck on Thursday, with the same vehicle he's driven for 22 years with the company. Unfortunately, he hasn’t found yet the house to deliver his first package.

Authorities say an 8-year-old boy was handing out hundreds of dollars in fake $20 bills at an Ocala elementary school. Teachers became suspicious when the kid started throwing $20 bills at them instead of $1 bills while the teachers were stripping.

According to a recent survey, 89% of men say they'd vote for a female presidential candidate. The survey changes significantly if the pollster was a man or an ugly woman.
