God has given us a gift...

...who is clearly on our side. And I am not referring to Sarah Palin. Our gift is named Gustav. Now the extremely unpopular George Bushytail, and the even more unpopular Nuts Cheney have a plausible excuse for not attending our national convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. People just don't need to be reminded that our candidate is in the same party, and supporting the same economic policies as George and Nuts. Squirrels for McCain have a minor reservation about Sarah Palin... she is a lifetime member of the NRA, and I have heard stories that in her youth she amused herself by taking potshots at squirrels. Lest I be accused of making stuff up, I will admit that I have not been able to verify this rumor yet, but Dimitri will be doing some fact checking as he traverses Alaska (if he is able to make that driftwood connection.)
