Pretzelicious? Pretzelitus!

Shee-it, let's hope obamatrophy constipates August until convention, and if Obama survives Obama Fatigue treading even with McCain all will be fine. My friends, insisting my opponent is so much more awesome than me can only distract attention from my own inability to perform for so, um, long (and Teh Obamachub versus impotent sugar-daddy will be a hot! new! series! on Fox!).

I go in Friday afternoon for an ophthalmologist appointment - it's bifocal time, youngsters - but weird is in the last month my eyesight, my reading/writing eyesight, has deteriorated to the point I don't even try reading and can't write in tablets

unless I remove my current glasses. All is fine until I look up, and then I'm not sightless but am stunned by fuzz as if suddenly blind, lost.

Mofos, there isn't anything I can't pretzel into whatever pretzel I'm gnawing into blogable nyah, and since I need to see my tablets' calligraphy as I'm scratching it, my greatest desire is a new pair of grandpa glasses?

• Thomas Frank's new book. Thomas Frank interviewed. More Frank. I should write more about Frank, but it's fracking August.
• Democrats are assholes too. If the GOP doesn't link this and Obama and American Jews, that doesn't make them less detestable, just off their game. UPDATE.
• Probably a good strategy, though it bores me.
• When Obama does attack, this is one target-rich vein.
• McCain buffoonery = AP buffoonery.
• Guide to the sleaziest obamaslurs.
• A reminder.
• NRA spy? Down the memory hole.
• USWNT = Nike National Team.
• Thunder? How frackenlame.
• Say no to Amazon.
• Revitalize Diamond Avenue?
• Fair food will be three grams less shitty!
