Someone hit my blog today searching for "used car problems after 100k miles".Well, Anonymous Searcher, those problems can vary depending on the used car in question. For instance, an older diesel Mercedes Benz or American pickup truck rarely has much in the way of problems at 100k miles, unless you count "stinky exhaust" or "a tendency to spontaneously sprout rebel ...

KnoxViews » Olbermann dissed by MSNBC
Posted 66 minutes ago
Keith Olbermann (and Chris Matthews) will not be anchoring coverage of the coming debates or election night. Their egos are causing a problem. During the DNC, on the first night Olbermann jumped on Joe Scarborough then the next night he apparently thought Matthews talked too much. Does anyone talk more than Olbermann? I don't think so.

And oh yes, I do love it that Palin's nomination is enough of a threat that it's caused Obama to drop the righteous act.

He's throwing his own punches now ... [Link]
