Your Evening Sift

Busy Saturday in the SoFla blogosphere. Must of been the overcast skies that kept every one in and near a computer. As a result, we have an extensive Sift for you this evening...

A- Shorter babalu:

The American public is too stupid to realize that John McCain may have won the debate last night, but we, and all political aficionados, know better.

B- Man or Maniac takes a hard look at an off the cuff remark that John McCain made last night that, when closely examined, reveals a lot about McCain's judgment.

C- I loved, I mean loved, this quote Jaded in Paradise threw in at the end of her post today.

“I used to think those people who sat alone at Starbucks writing on their laptops were pretentious posers. Now, I know they are people who recently moved in with someone.”

D- The Rockfords Miami Art Blog has a bunch of new posts you should go check out.

E- Incertus turns in a nice tribute to the late Paul Newman.

He was 83, and that's a good run for anyone. He did some good in this world, and that is perhaps the highest compliment we can give anyone.

F- Some Cranky Guy collects some old, old cameras.

G- Blast Off! makes a prediction for next Thursday.

Thursday morning, Sarah Palin will announce that she has to pull out of the VP debate scheduled for that evening in St. Louis (at my law school alma mater, incidentally) because baby Trig -- remember him? -- is ill.

"I regret that I will not be able to meet with Sen. Biden as previously scheduled," the statement released by the campaign will say, "but my first responsibility is as a mother. My son Trig, who as you know is a Down's Syndrome baby, is ill, perhaps critically, and so he must come first.

"I hope Sen. Biden understands but, more importantly, I know the American people understand."

H- Miamism has all the info you need about the Miami Country Day Walk for Cancer that is coming up on October 18th.

I- Daily Cocaine likes the new Cuban restaurant on Biscayne at 87th.

An old friend of mine opened this 'branch' of the famed El Palacio de los Jugos on Biscayne Blvd., just south of 87th St. Is this too good to be true?

[...]

I was told that the chicharron, tamales, and fresh juices would be coming in every morning.

J- The significant beach erosion in Fort Lauderdale is captured on film by Fort Lauderdale Daily Photo.

K- Random Pixels explains why some might consider the Miami Herald ethically challenged.

L- Miami Bike Scene has a slideshow of yesterday's Critical Mass ride.

M- Reidblog collects the reviews of last night's debate, including conservative George Will's, that maintain that Obama won.
