Whatever Sarah wants, Sarah (still) gets
I was enjoying my morning coffee, still in that comfy half-awake, pre-caffeinated state, easing into my day, sort of watching CNN because it’s a totally passive endeavor. And suddenly there was Sarah Palin’s shrill, irritating, clueless voice cutting through it all like a jagged knife. There she was filling my screen. And it wasn’t a … Continue reading
She does too know about Paul Revere!
She Who Must Not Be Named (you know, the one from Alaska). who failed miserably the other day when answering a question about Paul Revere, defended herself this morning on Fox News. (She refuses to appear on any other network.) It was another of those goshdarnit gotcha questions from the “lamestream” media, she explained, and … Continue reading
I still blame McCain for creating this problem
She never said she could see Russia from her house. Comedian Tina Fay said that. But Sarah Palin has said so many other dumb things that someone should, and probably has, compiled a book of them. I swore I’d never again waste words on this woman. So I won’t. These are her words, about Paul … Continue reading
Discovery dances with the devil
Discovery Communications, parent company of the Discovery Channel and TLC, has announced a new program, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” Yes, that Sarah Palin. What a huge disappointment. I love this company’s magnificent nature programming, and with a new HDTV, I’ve been looking forward more than ever to their shows. Few places in the world offer more … Continue reading
McCain and Palin together again
“It” came from Wasilla and strutted into Arizona today to boost Sen. John McCain’s sagging re-election bid. Seriously, he didn’t learn his lesson in November? He still thinks Sarah Palin can be an asset? If he had an ounce of sense left, he’d have begged her to stay far, far away. Like deep in the … Continue reading
‘Family Guy’ and the family gal
Sarah Palin is reportedly angry that the TV show “Family Guy” poked fun at one of her kids. I’d say which one, but then she’d probably get mad at me either for mentioning one of her children or for using a politically incorrect adjective to describe him. Anyway, suffice it to say Sarah seems to … Continue reading
McCaaaaain, you did this!
I was shocked and deeply disappointed when John McCain named Sarah Palin as his GOP running mate back in 2008. Since then, I’ve just been getting angrier and angrier. He created and loosed upon us the creature that has haunted us ever since. He lifted her from obscurity, pumped her full of political one-liners, dreams … Continue reading
I don’t regret voting for President Obama
Over on Real Clear Politics today, there’s an op-ed piece entitled “Why I Regret Voting for President Obama.” It’s written by freelance writer and independent voter Jill Dorson. I wonder what connections you need to call yourself a freelance writer and get published on RCP? I can write. I’m definitely freelance. And I definitely have … Continue reading
Sarah can’t have it both ways
So, what’s it going to be, Sarah P? Did you quit the Alaska governorship to become an author and speaker? Or did you quit so you could pursue the GOP presidential nomination in 2012? Honestly, I’m betting you thought you could do both — get stinking rich as a writer/speaker and bag that 2012 thing. … Continue reading
ROFL at Vanity Fair
I arrived late last night and found the party had come and gone without me. But the trappings were still there … On a page at Vanity Fair, I found the following picture, seemingly sans caption, headline, or any other identification: Ugh! It was after midnight, I was tired, and the image made me recoil. … Continue reading
But wait … she’s going to write a book!
Sarah Palin, Alaska’s about-to-be-former governor, delivered her resignation speech Fourth of July weekend. In doing so, she revealed once again why she should immediately recuse herself from the national stage and concentrate on fishing and hunting deep, deep in the Alaskan wilderness. In case her deficiencies weren’t apparent to those who listened to her speech, … Continue reading
Currently testing my patience …
Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and former GOP vice presidential wannabe … for her continuing inability to distinguish late night comedy from mainstream news. Remember back in February when she included Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report in her list of news media that sought to destroy her during her … Continue reading
Why speak and remove all doubt?
That Alaskan woman (initials S.P.) just won’t shut up, will she? Fortunately she was still in Alaska Wednesday when she uttered these words of wisdom: We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private … Continue reading
I read the news today, but why?
That Alaskan woman whose initials are S.P. is going to “collaborate” in the writing of a book. A book! B-O-O-K. She can’t even remember which newspapers she reads. Her part in the collaboration will probably consist of autographing said book for the six people who still care she exists. Obama’s not going to release the … Continue reading
Republicans have a no good, very bad day
I just caught 15 minutes of news that will make a lot of Republicans even more unhappy than they already are. Former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge has announced he won’t be a candidate for that state’s Republican U.S. Senate seat next year. That’s the seat Arlen Specter just vacated by switching parties. I’m genuinely sorry … Continue reading
She brings out the worst in me … again
Oh, joy. Two entities for which I have no use whatsoever — that Alaskan woman (initials S.P.) and the National Rifle Association (initials N.R.A.) — are getting together over Mother’s Day. Well, actually, at the latter’s upcoming annual banquet May 14. It seems the NRA will be giving SP a nifty neato new custom-made military-style semi-automatic … Continue reading
OMG, Palinese is contagious!
My grandfather was the first concessionaire here in the park. He had the park service contract to bring people here so they could experience Rocky Mountain National Park. In my veins runs the blood which is the result of my mother drinking the water of the streams and the rivers that eventually joined the streams … Continue reading
The pot and the kettle
That Alaskan woman — you know, the one who ran for vice president not long ago — is still at it. She’s airing her family’s dirty laundry in public again (you remember, the underage daughter who got pregnant and is now an unwed mother because for some reason a shotgun wedding didn’t appeal to the … Continue reading
Political snapshots
• Former President George W. Bush starts a 2009 speaking tour next month that will take him to several foreign nations. He’s now listed with the Washington Speakers Bureau and, to date, has ten speeches scheduled. I can’t help wondering who would actually pay good money to hear him speak. Public speaker he is not. … Continue reading
So I finally looked at a map of Alaska …
I missed a certain detail during this year’s political campaign. Or maybe it was reported and I was too busy trying not to see or hear anything about a certain female vice presidential candidate. Or maybe it was so obvious to everyone (except me) that no one thought it worth mentioning. Ladies and gentlemen, you … Continue reading
