I've been mulling over whether to attend this week's Rock & Roll Hotel "Air Sex championship" for a few days now—ever since Metromix announced its intention to supply its very own D.C. competitor. Since I'm not much of an exhibitionist, I'm afraid I may not be able to add much to the coverage. It's Air Guitar, but with fucking. What more is there to say?

But after enduring a Sarah Palin Air Sex Routine, a George Bush Air Sex Routine, a Magician Air Sex Routine, a Swedish Air Sex Routine, and yes—a fucking Chris Kattan Air Sex Routine—I was hit with a terrible feeling of foreboding. All the obvious Air Sex Routines have already been performed, leaving only one Ripped from the Headlines Air Sex yet un-done.

This is my terrible fear: This Wednesday, some brave soul will reach the Air Sex stage, perform some brief Air Kung Fu, crawl into a Thai Air Closet, pull out an Air Penis Noose, and attempt an Air Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation.

If anyone actually goes through with the forbidden David Carradine Lack of Air Sex Routine, I'm really, really hoping it's the Metromix employee.

I couldn't find any Carradine Air Sex in Youtube's arsenal, but if you want to watch people pretending to be Palin, Bush, and "Bjorn to Fuck" pretend to do it, be my guest:

McCain ribbed himself alongside pseudo running-mate Tina Fey in a show-opening mock infomercial and on fake news sketch Weekend Update. McCain always does fine with comedy (he's always been a pretty good Daily Show guest). Whether or not it will help him tomorrow remains to be seen.

Yep, still kicking.

* Will Barack Obama come in at the buzzer to upstage Palin's SNL appearance on the Saturday before Election Day?

* Evil Slutopia reminds you that the rest of SNL still sucks:

We had actually been raving about SNL lately, because of the pure genius they've been coming up with consistently regarding the election. But we had been watching those sketches online for the most part, missing all of the really shitty stuff in between.

Financially I haven't saved up more money since the show. And because I haven't been working, I've been living off my savings. But hopefully the jobs will come soon because that will make it easier to save and finally have my surgery. It's still at the top of my goals, the very top."

* Yesterday's Washington Post date lab, attached Michaeleen plays games with single Steve. "I never did the whole date-lots-of-people thing when I was younger. The man I am seeing is out of town, so he doesn't know about Date Lab," says Michaeleen. "I am going to tell [him]. I do believe in being honest and up front." Two weeks later, Michaeleen's boyfriend was still in the dark about Michaeleen's WaPo-funded dinner date. Until now!
