Going Rogue, Sarah Palin Style

Sarah Palin is back.
She’s back with a bang, it seems, as she gets ready to release her long-awaited book “Going Rogue” on Tuesday, November 17.
As is often the case with the much anticipated, the book has been obtained by any number of news outlets, and is being heavily discussed.
According to Amazon, “Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen’s extraordinary [...]

Representative Wilson Falsely Claims Obama Lied… Will You Stand With Joe?

Representative Joe Wilson from South Carolina sure did cause a stink Wednesday evening.
Wilson was the guy who famously hollered, “You lie!” in the middle of the President’s speech about health care reform to the Joint Sessions of Congress Wednesday night. Obama was in the process of addressing a pesky falsehood about the health care bill, one stating that should the legislation [...]

Sarah Palin, Resignation and Basketball

I just finished listening to Sarah Palin’s resignation speech, from start to finish.
Wowsers.
After almost 7 full minutes of rambling… and not a whole lot of sense-making, we learn that she is stepping down as Governor of Alaska.
It was quite disjointed, from strange basketball analogies to promises to affect political change for Alaska outside of politics, to my personal [...]

Abortion Docs, Jew Haters, Extremism and the GOP

Let’s just jump right in, cuz I really do have a lot to say.
Today I have right-wing extremism on my mind… something I’ve been mulling over lately… and something that truly makes my blood run cold.
It’s terrifying.
… And it’s escalating quickly.
Since Barack Obama descended on the scene with his eye turned to the presidency, we [...]

David Letterman, John McCain and Willow Palin

Ok, so David Letterman may have crossed a line with his recent jokes regarding Sarah Palin and her daughter, with some people even calling for his termination from CBS.
I thought the jokes specifically about Governor Palin were pretty funny- and not the slightest bit out of line- though perhaps slightly off-color.
I did, however, cringe at his [...]

Sarah Palin, Turkeys, Peace and Harmony

I love Sarah Palin.
She’s so much fun.
Seriously.
First, she pardons a turkey, calling herself a friend to all creatures…
Uh…
Ok moose hunter.
Next, she gives her post-pardon interview in plain view of her “friends” (turkeys) being slaughtered.
Beautiful.

 

Secret Service, Sarah Palin and Hatred in My Land

Going along with the Republican Party’s theme of hate and bigotry, we hear news from Washington that the Secret Service is blaming Sarah Palin for an increase in death threats against Barack Obama.
These threats coincide with Palin’s remarks, beginning in October, centering around her claims that Obama’s been “palling around with terrorists”, her attacks on his patriotism, and [...]

The Fake A$$-Kissing and Pretending to Fall Over One’s Self Has Commenced…

Now that the election is over, we all need to come together- Democrats and Republicans- and get with the job of making this country great again.
I truly believe that.
So why am I struggling like I am?
Key Republicans are doing just what we’ve been saying they need to do- coming out together in support of Obama’s presidency.
Or [...]

Sarah Palin, Africa and “the Southern Part of the Country”

For those of you who are sad that John McCain/Sarah Palin lost the election, perhaps this report will make you feel a little better about the way things turned out.
It appears that Sarah Palin never knew Africa was a continent.
She thought it was a country, and that when people refer to “South Africa”, they were merely [...]

Wardrobes, Sarah Palin and Destitute Staff Members

I was thinking I may stay away from all things Sarah Palin now that Barack Obama has won the presidency.
My thought process was that if Obama can continue to take the high road, surely I can too.
Right?
Not so much.
Some of this stuff is simply too juicy to pass up, so here I am, tail between [...]
