God, I hate Sarah Palin, not least because she just used the word “verbage.”

According to this website, there is no such word as “verbage.”

“Verbiage” is an insulting term usually meant to disparage needlessly wordy prose. Don’t use it to mean simply “wording.” There is no such word as “verbage.”

I could have told you that.

Watch this.

Obama was in my dream. There were a lot of people staying in a big room somewhere, like a country house, woody, with high ceilings, but I think it was actually “my house.” At one point, everyone was sort of sleeping (think of the scene in the Superdome after Katrina), and Gary and I were on the floor in something like a Japanese futon, and my ass was exposed. I didn’t think this was unusual but Gary kind of let me know it was inappropriate. So in another “scene” I was hanging out with Obama and he said, “let’s find a way you can make some money with that big old computer of yours so you don’t have to work so much.” He was very friendly and avuncular (which is weird considering he’s only two years older than me) and really seemed like he wanted to help me out!
