offbalanceI don't read Making Light every day, but every so often they run something that catches my attention. Today it was a clip of "The Tale of Sir Robin" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, dedicated to John McCain.
The clip was a call out to this blog post by John Scalzi, which contains such memorable quips as:
"A man who has readily admitted he doesn’t know much about the economy makes a big show of bringing his presidential campaign to a grinding halt to rush to Washington to fix it, which seems a bit like a NASA auto pool mechanic declaring to all and sundry that he’s going to stop making oil changes to rush to Florida to consult on the Shuttle."
and!
"...that Sarah Palin can’t be trusted to extemporize about damn near anything without appearing like she’s stuffing her conservative-yet-stylish pumps far enough down her throat to alarm her epiglottis."
also: Kudos to David Letterman for also calling Senator McCain on his bullcrap. It's always entertaining to see an honest, yet respectful, epic WTF echo from the heavens. I'm not sure if I agree more with Scalzi or with Letterman, but both of them made interesting points and observations that I happen to agree with.
