Since SNL has decided to invite only one Vice Presidential candidate to be on I pledge to
watch them for the rest of the season with only one eye.

To show my contempt I will only use my left eye which sees everything in a blur and has no sense of humor at all.

4. Have you noticed the only funny stuff they've done this election season has involved past cast
members who've returned for guest spots?

5. I will not watch that episode.
I understand they're trying to be evenhanded/appease their viewership, but Palin makes me feel ill. Period.

11. Just caught this on buzzflash.. "Candidates to visit "Saturday Night Live"
'Fey, candidates to visit 'Saturday Night Live'"

Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of “Saturday Night Live,” predicts that the presidential and vice presidential candidates will stop by the comedy show before the election. He also said in a phone interview Tuesday that Tina Fey will return to play Gov. Sarah Palin.

“I think sooner or later, everyone will come through,” Michaels said of the candidates. He declined to give dates as to when “Saturday Night Live” viewers might see Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama, as well as their running mates, Sen. Joseph Biden and Gov. Palin."

“In 2000, both Bush and Gore came on,” Michaels noted. As for when this crop of candidates would appear, he said, “I don’t know when. We’re always talking to everyone.”

As for Fey coming back to reprise her role as Gov. Palin before the election, Michaels said, “I think that’s likely.”

Even though Fey’s depiction of Palin has helped drive the show to a 50 percent increase in ratings over last year, Michaels confirmed what Fey said in a recent interview with TV Guide – that she’s done playing Palin after the election.

12. A pledge
May not be too many Nascar fans here, but I am one of them. I have followed Nascar since 1958 at Heidelburg dirt track in Pittsburgh. I know those good old boys are mostly republicans and I was always able to let it slide, because after all it's just racing. This week however is different. By inviting the idiot Todd Palin to be the race starter they make a mockery of the rest of us. No more, if I see a cup race I will turn away,It will not be seen in my house. Screw them for being such assholes. I really wish a groundswell of e-mails to sponsors would change their mind, but it seems there are many leaving the sport anyway, so they probably won't notice.

I will not watch it if the barracuda is going to be on.
