TAKE NOTE!

This just in:  For those of you slackers who think this week's Democratic convention is just another political meeting, Nancy Pelosi wants to set you straight.  This is about the future of civilization itself.  It's about our world, and whether it will survive.  It's about...I can't go on.  Let her speak for herself:

DENVER -- For those who thought this was just another election, Nancy Pelosi says to wake up: the planet is at stake in the choice between Barack Obama and John McCain.

"We've got a planet to save. Nothing less is at stake other than civilization as we know it today," the California Democrat and speaker of the House told reporters Saturday afternoon in assessing the election and the nominating convention taking place here over the next week.

Subliminal message:  "John McCain, planet wrecker!"  She goes on, her deep wisdom obvious:

She said Mr. Obama's new running mate, Sen Joseph R. Biden Jr., was a good choice because he melds Washington know-how with an outsider's view. She pointed to his daily commute by train from his home in Delaware to Washington as evidence he is still a man of the people.

Will someone tell Nancy that Delaware is right next door.  Nance, if he represented Colorado, would he be on that choo-choo?  Nance?  Did you hear the question?

"Joe Biden is the all-American boy," she said in a luncheon for reporters sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

And John McCain is...?

They should send Nancy away for a week - maybe to Afghanistan, where she can meet all-American boys, and girls.
