Another great 'SNL' skit

Once again, John McCain shows the candidate he could have been (positive) and Tina Fey shows she's an even better Palin than Sarah. What's "Saturday Night Live" gonna do when the election's over Tuesday?

Sarah Palin on 'SNL'

After seeing a video of Sarah Palin's appearance on "Saturday Night Live" and seeing John McCain speak at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, I'm starting to think that if McCain and Palin had been less obsessed with negativity and pandering to the grouchy bitter right-wingers, they might have had a chance in the presidential election. Check out this video of Palin's good performance on 'SNL':

No mo synchro

Shocking news to report out of Birmingham, Ala. The University of Alabama-Birmingham is dropping its synchronized swimming team. You can read the story here. The shocking part not being that they're dropping it, of course, but that they had one to begin with. Who knew?! Apparently, numerous NCAA schools compete in synchronized swimming -- numerous, if you consider eight NCAA schools numerous, and schools if you consider Canisius a school. I thought it was something on the periodic table of elements, right after Columbusite. Then again, I only paid attention in chemistry class periodically.

Of course, I can't think of synchronized swimming without seeing that SNL sketch with Martin Short, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest in the mid-1980s. You can watch a two-minute clip of that sketch here. It's hilarious. If you can find the sketch in full online, let me know.
