Congratulations, gentlemen


It's good to know that the good folks in the Aurora Fire Department are not only quite adept at fire rescue and first-response medical aid, there's also at least one decent video editor among them:



Editor's note: Kenny Loggins added for effect.

Veepstakes: The Republicans

In the interest of equal time, here's my odds on who John McCain will choose to share the ticket with him come this November:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty: 3-2 (Buzz is loud, GOP convention's on his home turf)

Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani: 2-1
(Would create most moderate GOP ticket in years)

Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney: 3-1
(Would make a lot of folks on the right happy)

Former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee: 4-1
(Hurt his chances by staying in race little too long)

US Senator Jim DeMint:
7-1 (Young, Southern and staunch social conservative)

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist: 7-1
(No guarantees in Florida now Katherine Harris is gone)

Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice:
9-1 (Only if a Mideast peace deal gets done - That's a big if)

Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr: 12-1
(Poor man's Mitt Romney; both he and McCain adopted)

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: 15-1
(You know how much McCain likes younger women)

US Senator Hillary Clinton: 25-1
(I'll stop suggesting it when the GOP stops praising her in an effort to win over her more-fickle supporters)

La. Gov. Bobby Jindal: 35-1
(Is this guy ready to be a heartbeat away from world leader?)

Actor Fred Thompson: 50-1
(Another GOP stalwart who likes 'em young)

Former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush: 50-1
(Can't be worse than his brother... Can he?)

Cyclist Lance Armstrong: 100-1
(Dumped his wife for a pop star; McCain understands)

Veepstakes: The Democrats

For those of you inclined to gamble, here's my odds on who Barack Obama will choose to share the ticket with him come this November:

US Senator James Webb: 3-2 (The name everyone has been hearing lately)

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: 2-1
(Has done it all, adds foreign policy gravitas)

US Senator Hillary Clinton: 4-1
(Would be most-questioned decision of Obama's life)

Ret. General Wesley Clark: 4-1
(The safest pro-Clinton choice available)

Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer:
7-1 (Helps deliver the West, adds white male to ticket)

Former Sen. John Edwards: 7-1
(Would he really say 'no' if Obama asked?)

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius:
9-1 (Big Obama backer, but not a national name)

US Senator Joe Biden: 9-1
(I like his style, but to most he's just another East Coast liberal)

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg: 15-1
(Is there anyone who really likes him?)

US Senator Evan Bayh: 15-1
(The centrist John Edwards, a poor man's Wes Clark for courting Clinton supporters)

US Senator Chuck Hagel: 25-1
(I don't think Far Left would actually allow him on ticket)

Former Va. Gov. Mark Warner: 50-1
(Probably will stick to his US Senate campaign)

Oprah Winfrey: 50-1
(Take pay cut, ship Stedman and/or Gayle to the Naval Observatory?)

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright: 100-1
(No one can resist putting him on the shortlist)

About This Blog

The once and future savage outpost for my semi-meaningful thoughts and monologues that are too long for Twitter and not good enough to be sprawled across the front page of every major metropolitan newspaper in America with 120-pt. headlines. Also, the occasional diversion via YouTube.

Meditate On This

Most of the great artists never live to see their work truly appreciated on a global scale... Vincent van Gogh. Johann Sebastian Bach. Keyboard Cat.
