The RNC has files a suit against the Obama campaign for accepting donations from foreigners. It's been well publicized that they have refused or refunded donations from non-citizens which were over the $2300 limit, but that was more an issue of the amount raising a red flag. As far as I can tell not real effort has been made to determine whether the smaller donations have come from.

It's a huge task, what with millions of donations coming in.

"Woman the World Forgot"
was the theme song for a Thai movie, possibly of the same name, about a woman who comes to a very bad end. It was very controversial in its time, both the movie and the song, since it depicted a seamy side of Bangkok life and was not the kind of film the tourism authority approved of. Anyway, the cassette tape on which I had the song recorded is no longer playable, so I am looking for a copy in any format. A copy of the movie would be even better. I prefer a legal copy, but if none exists...

Edit add: Here's an over-produced night club version of the song:

On the TiVo was this weekend's Saturday Night Live, with both Tina Fey and Sarah Palin. The similarity is so amazing I could not tell them apart even during the 6 seconds when they were on stage together. I think if someone digs through Tina's past they will find the adoption papers showing she was one of a pair of identical twins, the other went to a couple in Idaho.

Palin didn't do much on the show, but she was a good sport. SNL totally wasted their opportunity, opting to have the very pregnant Amy Poehler do a mediocre Palin rap number. They would have done better to have Palin, a former newscreature, do some of the Weekend Update news bits. They would have done even better with a Poehler-Palin skit on having a baby.

I was also kind of shocked at how rude Tina Fey was, not looking at Palin, and not coming out for the "all hands on deck" final segment. A handshake would have been a nice gesture. After all, Palin paid your rent for the rest of the year. And I'm talking about 30 Rock as much as SNL.

Obama and Biden are, of course, above all this.
