That plane never did sell on eBay

Here's a link, just in case you hadn't already heard. Meanwhile, some other odds and ends:

  • FOOTBALL IS HERE: Go Seahawks!
  • NOT READY: Sarah Palin is the only candidate who has yet to meet the press. David Frum, a McCain supporter, explains why it matters. And Jay Carney feels vindicated.
  • HILARIOUS: The sheer awsomeness of Triumph The Comic Insult Dog at the Republican National Convention cannot be explained in words, so you should watch it for yourself.
  • THE VETTING CONTINUES: Sarah Palin's hockey rink to nowhere? Turns out the reformer screwed up "the biggest project she undertook as mayor."
  • IOKIYAWR: The Los Angeles Times profiles Palin's seccesionist husband. "Todd Palin is a conservative, a moose hunter, an oil worker, a union man, a snowmobile racer, a hockey fan and a onetime backer of Alaskan independence."
  • NO KIDDING: Democrats mentioned "four more years" 14 times. Republicans? Not once.
  • ON THE OTHER HAND: Democrats mentioned 9/11 more often than Republicans -- and they mentioned McCain more than Republicans mentioned Obama. The other stuff is mostly what you'd expect.
