Good to see you're up on the important things going on in the world. But why no mention of your friend Carrie Prejean getting married?

Does it really make a difference? Palin's fans are the only people who take her seriously, and they think she walks on water, so they never believed him anyway.

Spain are so pretty! And they won!

Oops, sorry sir or madam @9, but I think random sites like Slog are not your friend if you insist on surfing the net around the time the internationally important match is set to be over that you're 'carefully' observing a blackout on.
