    Palin for Prez in 2012

    Too bad, if this is true. Was really hoping Palin for Pres in ‘12.

    Palin's Pad

    Why am I such a hater?

    So, late in the afternoon of the inauguration, I called a very close female relative whom I love dearly despite her sometimes insane political views [ie she thought Sarah Palin was "perky"]. “Just wanted to see how you were doing,” I said, waiting for her to bring up the inauguration.

    She skirted the issue as long as she could, then said, “I took a [...]



    militia-madness is back

    And Sarah Palin is their poster girl:

    Federal agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

    In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target [...]



    i don’t want to hear the name tawana brawley ever again

    And I’m going to make a point of remembering the name Ashley Todd.

    (CNN) — A Republican campaign worker who told police she was assaulted by a man angered by a John McCain sticker on her car admitted she made up the report, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, assistant police chief said Friday.

    Ashley Todd, 20, of College Park, Texas, will be charged with filing a false police report, [...]



    How Come Cindy Didn’t Help Her Out Instead?

    Politico is reporting that the RNC paid for the Alaska Disasta’s $150,000 wardrobe since August.  This is raising legal questions as normally items that are personal in nature cannot be purchased with campaign funds.

    Seems to me that since Cindy McCain grossed over $4.1 million last year (and over $6 million in 2006), John should have asked her to pick up this minor expenditure.  After all [...]



    Cleese on Palin, Palin for President

    John Cleese of Monty Python’s Flying Circus says he used to think “Michael Palin was the funniest Palin”:

    For those of you who do not know Michael Palin, here is Michael Palin for President:

    no longer the hero

    if he ever was, McCain has become Richard III, Iago and Macbeth rolled into one.

    He is the scheming, lame and eternally bitter Richard of Gloucester, needing to kill all goodness around him so as to never face that contrast to his black soul, and needing war, too, as peace gives him nowhere to put his rage:

    But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
    Nor made [...]



    The Day Hank Paulson Lied

    Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there is a pattern with Congress passing legislation that the American people do not want and know is not in their interest?  First they kick it around a little and then have a vote or two that fails to pass the proposed bill.  Then they tweak the bill a little while some of the Congresspeople [...]
