I had to post this take on the “women’s vote,” given how accurate Sarah Haskins has been about yogurt and weddings.
There is something truly absurd about watching US presidential candidates talk about how we’re all waiting to see what happens on season two of Army Wives…
Plus: How to get published, pay for school, and bind your own books.

Sigh, not as funny as the other ones - maybe the topic is not as much of a laughriot...Did both McCain and Obama both talk about Army Wives?? That's bananas.

Oh, ok both Obama and McCain mentioned Army Wives on a commercial for Army Wives created by Lifetime TV. (Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVctuM... McCain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIdihI...) I thought maybe they both just dropped mentions into their campaign speeches. Like "Foreign policy murmur murmur Iran murmur Healthcare murmur Army Wives!!!" Now that would be odd. Though actually presidential nominees doing ads for a TV show is pretty odd in itself...

Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
