Velveeta Jones has a sit down with Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin!

Yes dear readers, recently, a group of people were selected to ask Gov. Palin questions, and to my utter surprise, I had the distinct privilege to ask the burning questions that the American people want answers to. Unfortunately, as I later found, the selection process did not seem to include those Americans that are often referred to as “elite” and to which I have now come to realize is just another word for “smart”.

How your own Velveeta was selected for this is beyond me. Though, for some reason, people assume that anyone with a Southern accent and any semblance of proper decorum, or conversely, a penchant for beer and NASCAR, to be rather dull headed and dense. This is a falsehood perpetuated by the liberal media I assure you.

Herein is my interview with Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin:

VJ: Gov, thank you for allowing me to ask you a few questions. I understand your hesitation and will abide by your rules to no “filtering” (as she claims CBS did) and to acknowledge that you will only answer the ones you choose. I have an awful lot of important questions and I want to get right to it, because I know I have a limited amount of time.

It seemed like some sort of drug-induced fever-dream... There was Fargo's Marge Gunderson tarted up and playing the part of Miss South Carolina...

I kept looking for signs of intelligence behind those blank eyes, but came up empty. It was a nightmare!

Actually, no it was not a dream, unfortunately, but the VP debates last night.

At this point, Most of us are aware that the Senate passed a version of the Financial Rescue Bill. (I believe that is what the kids are calling it these days.) I am sure that we will hear more details about it today and tomorrow as it heads to the House for their review and vote.

Yesterday, I watched C-Span, and saw some amazing speeches from our fine Democratic Senators. I must admit I don't know much about the bill, but they certainly inspired me. Some details:

As it's been reported in this space, the RNC is working hard to disenfranchise voters in many states via unscrupulous means. But when they cast their net, they also hauled in many veterans, some disabled and in VA hospitals. Is this what they were fighting for? IAVA has filed a brief in Ohio in an attempt to protect the voting rights of veterans.
