I mean, Rod Serling isn’t still around to sue me, right?
So, I’ll just borrow his title and apply it to this first-ever Applesauce all-night open thread.
I have a meeting of the He-Man Quilting Bee tonight, and I’ll likely be out ’til the cows come home — certainly too late for any more blogging.
Have at it, my friends. (Jeez! I sound like John McCain.)
UPDATE (Wed. a.m.): Well, that was a big flop. Nobody visited the Night Gallery. I’m so embarrassed!

I’m going out to attend a very important meeting of very important people to which you are cordially not invited.
While I’m gone, you can chat among yourselves about your trivial, meaningless concerns.

The inimitable Roy Edroso EXPLORES the creepy world of far-right blogs and finds that the denizens are obsessed with Barack Obama but haven’t got much to say about John McCain.
As Edroso asks: “Where is the love?”

This guy SAYS Barack Obama might do well to pick Sen. Jim Webb as his running mate.
And this other guy SAYS Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could help John McCain’s chances.

Is this pathetic or what?
Jimmy Carter’s presidency ended more than a generation ago, and the only thing most Americans know about him is that he helps build houses for poor people.
Besides, the last thing John McCain should want to do is remind everyone of the rap that he’s just another George W. Bush.
