As Good As Jews & Cuban Food

If you were able to drudge through the majority of the actual VP debate the other night, maybe you noticed the stark inconsistencies in the candidate's answers on equal rights for same-sex couples.  While it seemed promising that Senator Biden urges same-sex couples be given the same rights as straight couples, he contradicted himself by denying same-sex couples the freedom to marry.  This is better than Governor Palin's stance, who believes allowing gays to marry would be "redefining" marriage.  Who knew marriage was "defined" by who is denied it?

"Worse than Dick Cheney...and a better shot."

Now I know what to put under job duties on my resume.

Travel + Leisure = Inevitable Runway Doom

Travel + Leisure just published a list of the scariest runways in the world.  Of course, by "just published" I mean "this is probably old news but you don't know any better anyway."  

This madness to the left is in St. Maarten.  Who the hell would want to be so GD close to an incoming airplane?  Nothing like a sunny day at the beach with a side of jet fumes and deafening turbojet hullabaloo.  What if I was flying my kite?  That beast would suck me up and spit me out faster than a foot-tapping airport stall occupant.  You might as well go lay out on the runway.  

Also on the list of scariest runways is JFK.  They must have also factored in the heinous experience of waiting for hours in this airport's terminals atop urine-stained carpeting.  Left off the list was any runway where Naomi Campbell is near.  Duck and cover when you see her whip out that cell.  

Palin's a bailin'

...well maybe not quite yet.  I can't quite figure out which is more entertaining:  the actual Sarah Palin interview with Katie Couric or Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's sendoff of it...
