    Where were you when McCain selected Palin . . .

    . . . ?

    Just curious. I was on the golf course and one of my foursome received a text message . . . quite a mixed political leaning foursome too. We all agreed then, that his selection "would be interesting" to follow

    So, where were you . . .
    Oh, and go ahead and 'jong' away - been there - just need a re-new ...

    I think I found out on Palin via TGR? I'm pretty sure it was a post in one of the VP threads that was brief and ended with a question mark like it wasn't firm yet.

    On learning of Obamas pick of Biden... I had been out parting hard down on Water Street, and my phone had died. Shortly after I plugged it in on the way home in the car, my text update came thru... was like 2:40 AM the morning it was leaked/texted.
    If some of the best times of my life were skiing the UP in -40 wind chill with nothing but jeans, cotton long johns and a wine flask to keep warm while sleeping in the back of my dad's van... does that make me old school?

    I heard it on the radio just as I was pulling into Sturgeon Bay, WI.

    No idea, really.

    How would we know where we were? We don't know when he picked her.

    I wasn't paying attention, but my first reaction was, "Who the fuck is Sarah Palin?"

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...
