And here come the pregnant pictures

August 31st, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 6 Comments · Politics

She looks pretty pregnant here.  Since Erik99559 says this is from the last day of the legislature, the photo was taken on or about April 13, 2008.  She gave birth on April 18th.
TeacherRefPoet may be right, I may well end up with egg on my face.  So be it.
I still have questions.
Update 1: And now [...]

Here’s what a pregnant woman looks like

August 31st, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 1 Comment · Politics

The Kos diarist ArcXIX has found a good one.

Here’s Governor Palin seven-months pregnant with Trig, the baby she delivered in April of this year.

Here’s Sarah Palin pregnant with son Track in 1989.  Clearly, shes in her third trimester.
ArcXIX has also got some great pictures of Bristol holding Trig.  Of course those don’t mean anything by [...]

A blog worth watching

August 31st, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 4 Comments · Politics

Here’s a guy from Alaska who’s just as mystified as to why McCain chose Palin as I am.  With all three “gates” (bridge, trooper, and baby) lighting up the Interwebs (I’m having a heckuva Sunday for traffic, tyvm), the McCain campaign is finally sending a team up to Alaska to find out what exactly it [...]

There goes my fantasy team

August 31st, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life, Sports

Tom Brady somehow slipped all the way to number 6 in my league’s draft this year.  He did not get past me.  Now I might be stuck with a lemon.  Great.
Do I stick it out with Cutler then?  Or do I pick up Pennington off waivers?  Decisions decisions.

Scenes from the Pie-Off

August 31st, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 5 Comments · Local, My American Life

Big ups to the organizers of yesterday’s pie-off. It was a quintessentially Portland event in a quintessentially Portland location. I was planning to just name myself a judge early on, but, as I’m wont to do, I spaced it. Instead, the Professor took my spot.  It’s a good thing too.  After tasting [...]

The Comcast experiment

August 31st, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 2 Comments · My American Life, Technology

The Interwebs are alight with this story about how Comcast is going to start capping monthly usage at 250 gigabytes of traffic per month.  While I don’t consider myself a power user or anything, I do download a fair amount of podcasts and occassional videos.
Curious to find out how much I consume, I went looking [...]

Is Sarah Palin a grandma?

August 30th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 33 Comments · Politics

If this is true, she’s done.  D-O-N-E done.
Update 1: Here’s a guy who fleshes out the birth timeline a little more.
In April, when she was eight months pregnant, Palin was at an energy conference in Texas where she was scheduled to speak. According to her own account, reported in Alaska newspapers, at about 4 am [...]

The Decider phones home.  Please to note the strategically placed red “classified” folder in his right hand.  Clever prop?  Only The Decider knows.
