READ: And The Winners of This Election Are..

.. the writers of Obama's and McCain's speech at the Alfred E. Smith Charity Dinner.  Either my comedic threshold has sunk really low from obsessing about the election and the market or these speeches are actually pretty funny.

And speaking of comedy, CNN broke the news last night that Sarah Palin will be appearing on Saturday Night Live.  Is she smart enough to use it to her advantage, like Clinton did during the primaries?  Or will it be like the car crash that McCain's stint on that show was?  At any rate, she is probably the first politician to make it on SNL before hosting a press conference.  I am guessing Andrew Sullivan must be close to losing it.
