What the heck, we’re all waiting on tenterhooks for Barack Obama to announce his running mate (I know I can hardly stand the suspense), so here’s an open thread for predictions, venting, and persiflage.

P.S. You may notice I’ve rounded off the corners on a lot of our boxes and widgets, if you’re using Safari or Firefox. If you’re still on the Internet Explorer mainline, you’re stuck in Squaresville until Gates catches up with CSS 3.

UPDATE at 8/22/08 5:28:17 pm:
