It was Nate’s 21’st birthday so give him a shoutout at natemcguire.com. We had a fab time in downtown Austin, and cheering on the Texas Longhorns to their first of many victories this season. As I moved back into cyberspace today I hit up on some VERY interesting stuff. So here goes with a quick recap :

1. This is pretty crazy if true and the evidence is mounting. Mostly circumstancial but some very weird things going on at the least. Sarah Palin, the republican VP nominee, you may better know her as the attractive one McCain has been walking around with for a couple days… may not be the mother of her youngest daughter. She may be the grandmother. You need to read this one, it will take 5 minutes, and take it with a grain of salt its not a news network or anything, but I’ve seen it pop up in a couple places in the last 24 hours.

2. Also, Sarah Palin related, I saw a fox news clip where her experience on the national stage was cemented in place by the assertion that Alaska is the closest state to Alaska. Let me tell you what, all questions I have about her viability are now cleared.

3. Bucket of Awesome found the greatest. cover. ever. Nickelback’s Photograph but Better.

4.  If you have been hiding in advance of Gustav, here is an up to date tracker. Yours truly might have a quote in a local newspaper cause of a quote I gave. Hooray.
