Two Ballsy Things

First, John McCain. What a way to steal ALL of the thunder by choosing a woman as a VP pick. This is not to say the presence of a woman is amazing in this arena. What I mean is for a Republican to make a pick that almost no one would have imagined (and one he hopes will eat up some of the old Clintonites as a block that would normally go to the Dems) and keep it under wraps is one ballsy move. I will hold off one more for now since I really have very little knowledge about Sarah Palin and what she has done and how she rates as a conservative. Either way McCain effectively changed all of the media attention a few hours after one of Obama's best speeches ever.

Second, is me, how convenient. Tonight I had dinner with some coworkers to celebrate the two here were leaving. Well, we had some raw fish for one of the dishes. It was chunks of the thing that had been hacked off and cut into small pieces to eat. That alone is nowhere near ballsy. However, when the fish those pieces were cut from is still on the plate and is still moving while you eat it, that is ballsy.
