Believe it or not, it has only been 9 days since John McCain selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Since then the vetting process began. There have been questions, cheers, scandals, stunned looks and plenty of jokes.
Here are just a few of the comics that caught my attention.

McCain – Palin: The Change Ticket

Actually, it is only a small part of the reason. Pat Bagley’s cartoon nails the fundamental problem with the Republican message – It’s just plain nuts.
Hillary Clinton has done a ‘terrific’ job campaigning for Barack Obama. Matt Bors nails this in his comic.

John McCain is dull, dull, dull.
If I have to watch this man for the next 4 years, I fear that I and the rest of the world may slide into a coma.
How does one liven up dull? Last month, McCain gave a speech standing in front of a green sign. Stephen Colbert, host of the Colbert Report, offered up a challenge to viewers to ‘liven up McCain’ in his second Green Screen Challenge.
There have been many great entries, but the way I see it, the best way to liven up dull is to infuse the comatose speaker with Elvis. He’s still dull, but at least he’s watchable.

For me, George Carlin was a hero of sorts. I know I don’t stand alone in that sentiment.
He stood up to authority by questioning it and making fun of it.
He constantly challenged the norm.
He pulled me out of despair when on August 2, 1979 my boyhood idol, Thurman Munson, was killed in an airplane crash.
As a boy, I didn’t think I would ever get pulled out of my state of mourning, especially not by that evening’s guest host of The Tonight Show.
He’s made me laugh ever since. I’ve seen him in concert numerous times over the years, most recently for the last show of the millennium – December 31, 2000 - when he concluded with “Happy Real Millennium.”
Thank you for giving me 3 decades of laugher. You will be sorely missed.
I leave you with the routine that helped me 29 years ago – Baseball and Football
RIP Geor-ge-or-ge-or-ge.
