• Ok, McCain’s speech isn’t the shot out of the park that Palin delivered last night, but its a good solid double off the wall… #

Well, not exactly. But whats better than relaxing after a hard day of doing nothing with a good light beer? Why, relaxing after a hard day of doing nothing with a light beer and $300 in your wallet. Thats what. “But Mark,” you say, “How can this be? A light beer AND $300?? WTF do I have to do??”

Well my fine inebriated friend, all you have to do is answer some questions via text message on your celly (not telly) and you will be entered to win a $300 Amazon gift card. How unbelievably cool is that?? Even better is that this is only being offered to a small number of participants (say, 1500 or so) so your chances of winning are way better than of you bowling that perfect 300 game on your Wii.

Of course, if you’re like me, you prefer local brews (which tend to not be too light) but everyonce in a while you’ll kick back with a Rolling Rock Light or some other malted beverage that just seems to be right (like a corona light with lime and a bucket of peel and eat shrimp on the beach). As a matter of fact, I think the last time I had a light beer was Mardi Gras when we partied with some good friends over a big pot of homemade Jambalaya. Nothing’s better!

Here’s what you gotta do:

• There are 10 quick text-and-reply questions in the mobile survey.

Almost 6 months after Obama appeared in the Halloween edition of Saturday Night Live (SNL) Hillary made a stop on the set and met face to face with her twin played by Amy Poehler. Clinton was on in response to two sketches the troupe has done now based on some of the more recent debates where the anchors seem to give preferential treatment to Obama and play hardball with Clinton.

While I agree she does have a bit of a point, that it seems unfair that they’ve chosen their Golden Boy and this time around its Obama, I do think that if she really wanted to have any affect on it, she should have made an attempt earlier in the season to make an appearance (Granted, the strike took SNL off line for a while).

For instance, Huckabee is a favorite on almost all the late night talk shows, making appearances on Colbert, The Daily Show, Late Night with Conan, The Tonight Show and others. This appearance by Hillary almost seems to be a last ditch effort to gain votes coming in to the crucial Ohio and Texas primaries tomorrow. But who am I to judge??

On another note, I seem to have made up some of my PR loss from the fall when I dropped from a 4 to a big, fat zero. Now I’m sitting happy at a 3 while Gruntled is still an Oh!
