Wow, so “lifelong Democrat who hasn’t wavered in his presidential vote since 1980″ and war pimp Michael O’Hanlon finally, reluctantly endorses Barack Obama after being “unable to support [him] over the last two years.” And only because he thinks Joe Biden is a stronger running mate than Sarah Palin.
Some lifelong Democrat - I’ve seen stronger Obama endorsements by Republicans. But not to worry - O’Hanlon’s with us on everything except the war. Just like lifelong Democrat Joe Lieberman.

Get Fuzzy previews tonight’s vice-presidential debate:

…And next Tuesday’s presidential debate:

I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU TOUCH MY MILK!
Can you prove it didn’t happen?

From AP Republican shill Ron Fournier’s hit piece on Obama’s selection of Joe Biden:
Biden is anything but a change agent, having been in office longer than half of all Americans have been alive. Longer than McCain.
And…
EDITOR’S NOTE: Ron Fournier has covered national politics for The Associated Press for nearly 20 years.
Insiders are bad… except when they’re the media.
Hey, it’s a good thing Obama didn’t choose Galactus, or Fournier would be harping on Obama’s lack of confidence in his ability to devour worlds.

Galactus is toned!
Well, I guess Obama’s strategy of floating really godawful VP candidates like Bayh and Kaine has succeeded in making most of us relieved that he picked Biden, but he should have given the dark horse option some more thought:
Galactus, Eater of Worlds
Pros: Balances out Obama’s troublingly semi-dovish past with tough, muscular “eat the world” policy.
Cons: Will eat the world.
Granted, picking the Devourer Of Worlds probably wouldn’t go over real well with most progressives at first, but once they see a 100-foot tall purple guy bellow out “SILENCE, FOOL! Galactus cares not for the petty concerns of your trivial planet! Galactus hungers!” in the vice-presidential debate, I think they’d start to appreciate having him on their side.
On the other hand, it’s probably unlikely that Galactus would ever accept second billing, so perhaps the Silver Surfer would have been a more appropriate choice. In additional to the usual vice-presidential and running-mate responsibilities, he could scout ahead and identify which states and cities are ripe for Obama to devour.
