Anyone who wears their emotions on their sleeves has no business pursuing a career in politics. Few professions demand as much grin-and-bear-it schmoozing with historically hostile colleagues, media and even entire audiences. Mysteriously however, even after spending a quarter of a century in Congress, Sen. John McCain still has yet to master that simple art. His body language last night when his Democratic opponent made a friendly approach on the Senate floor — just as it had during last week’s debate — made it clear that a new cold war is under way.

One month after her debut as Sen. John McCain’s other political half, I honestly have yet to hear much from the mouth of Sarah Palin that I can agree with. And that is in spite of her coy efforts at appearing far more moderate than she actually is. I like to think I am not as gullible as some. Yet I find myself in near-agreement with Palin’s recent highly controversial remarks that the U.S. should pursue terrorists in Pakistan — if necessary, even without that nation’s consent.

Voter suppression is no laughing matter, as the results of the 2000 presidential election — and possibly even the 2004 race — reminded us. Yet it’s hard not to find humor in this cartoon clip, in which Homer Simpson runs into technical difficulties while trying to vote.

Anyone believing that laughter is indeed the best medicine may have found a margin of relief during Saturday Night Live’s encore satire last night of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, following the anguish induced by her revealing interview earlier this week by CBS News anchor Katie Couric. The interview left many supporters dismayed by the candor of Palin’s often shallow answers, and non-supporters dismayed at the very prospect of such a candidate co-inheriting the disastrous mess left behind by the current White House occupant. For those who missed either the SNL segment or the actual CBS interview, both are posted here.
