Quote of the day

"These days, facts seem overmatched by falsehood, too slow to catch them, too weak to stop them.

Indeed, falsehoods are harder to kill than a Hollywood zombie. Run them through with fact, and still they shamble forward, fueled by echo chamber media, ideological tribalism, cognitive dissonance, a certain imperviousness to shame, and an understanding that a lie repeated long enough, loudly enough, becomes, in the minds of those who need to believe it, truth." --Leonard Pitts

It's a "Wonderful World", all right

Your yuk of the day

"Sarah and Bristol Palin made an appearance at a book store. Apparently, it was 'Bring Your Daughter to a Place You Never Go Day.'" –Conan O'Brien

Your yuk of the day, part II

"New Rule: Stop comparing Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann just because they're both Republican women. And crazy. And know-nothings. And Jesus freaks, who claim to receive messages from God. Who both get their historical facts wrong all the time. Who both give off a sound that only animals can hear and makes microwaves explode. Seriously, stop comparing them." –Bill Maher, "Real Time with Bill Maher", HBO

Your yuk of the day

‎"Sarah Palin's son Track and his wife are having a baby. They haven't picked a name yet, but they do know it will be a verb." –Conan O'Brien

Catfight!

Michelle Bachmann's new campaign adviser slams Sarah Palin

Now that I think about it, "Dogpile!" also seems applicable.

Sarah Palin just keeps getting better and better

If we can't and don't take her seriously, why should or would a world leader?

Margaret Thatcher Refuses Visit with Sarah Palin

Just because you take yourself seriously, Ms. Palin, doesn't mean we have to, by a long shot.

Just saying.

One of many reasons we don't care for Sarah "The Quitter" Palin

She's still hard at it:

Analysis: Sarah Palin continues to struggle with the facts

It's a very good article, too.  It explains several things that I think a lot of people believe about our current government, this administration and our spending, for instance, that are patently mistaken.

Have a great weekend, y'all.

You need three reasons?

3 reasons Sarah Palin should not be president

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Chris Matthews calls Sarah Palin ‘profoundly stupid’

Man, I love these people.

Great 2012 Presidential information out today

Headline 1:

George Will: Newt Gingrich 'not a serious candidate'

Headline 2:

Mike Huckabee Out; Sarah Palin In?

 

Man, I love this race right now. 

 

Enjoy your relaxing Sunday evening out there, folks.

Quote of the day

         
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think."  -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Which explains Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Steve Doocy, the Tea Party and too much of the American populace, sadly. 


Try to have a great weekend, y'all.  (And while you're at it, READ or watch some good, hard news).  :)

"Her Tackiness" continues in her same vein

Sarah Palin, ever the person to prove how low class she is, goes off again:

Sarah Palin makes fun of Katie Couric’s post-CBS plans


Right.  


Make fun of Katie Couric.


If she were to just go by what Katie makes per year she wouldn't have touched this one.  Reportedly, Ms. "In Poor Taste" Palin has made, to date, from her book deals and speaking engagements, I understand, somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 to 20 million dollars.


Heads up, Ms. W. Trash, Katie makes 15 million a year.  And she's done that for the last 5 years.  And in case you never saw her, Ms. P., before that she was on a news show, too, and for that she put away 7 million a year.


But enough about money.


The circle of people Ms. Couric run with have EDGOOKASHUNS and are world travelers and, I'm imagining, the heads of multi-national organizations and non-profits and, hey, these are people who read magazines and books and they can even name them.


Unlike you, Ms. Palin.


So please, do yourself a favor--go climb back under the rock from which you came.


Or at least have the good sense to be quiet.

GREAT NEWS TODAY!

Polls Indicate Sarah Palin Should Just Forget About 2012 Presidential Run

A poll released by USA Today/Gallup this week revealed that Palin would have a tough time beating President Barack Obama in a bid for president in 2012. Although the poll shows that the president himself is up against 46 percent who will "definitely not" vote for him in the next election, it is still a far cry from having 65 percent say they will not. The poll also had bad news for current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump as well, revealing that 64 percent will "definitely not" vote for the New York real estate tycoon as well.


As if that's not enough good news, there's more:  


...with tell-all books coming from a political insider (Frank Bailey) and from the father of her daughter's child (Levi Johnston), exposes that will undoubtedly not be flattering to the former Alaska governor, the numbers in next month's Gallup polls may paint even bleaker political pictures for Palin.


Be still, my heart.  


The American people are finally seeing through this shrill shrew?


Finally, lest anyone feel sorry for Ms. Palin, she can now take the millions of dollars she's gotten from the last few years and do whatever.  I don't think for a moment we've seen the last of her but clearly, money-wise, she came out on top.


Now if she'll just go away.

Yet another Palin book?

Now? Now Levi decides to write a book?

As though the world needs that, right?

Republicans and the Tea Party: Love 'em, hate 'em

The latest from the "love 'em" category:

Boehner gets teary amid threat of a government shutdown

                                    

Amid the threat of a looming government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner is getting emotional again.

Per ABC News's Jon Karl, the Republican leader, who is known for his tears, was updating the House GOP caucus this morning on the ongoing budget stand-off when his emotions got the best of him. As he was thanking fellow Republicans for sticking with him amid the tense negotiations, the GOP lawmakers rose to give him a standing ovation, prompting Boehner to weep.

I mean, come on.  You gotta' love this guy.  What a hoot.  Losing it like this.  

What is it the Republicans themselves would say, time and again recently?  "Man up!"

Look at 'em--they've got John "The Weeper" Boehner, Sarah "The Quitter" Palin, Michelle "There's No Telling What Will Come Out of My Mouth" Bachmann and many more and then, for back up, they've got Glenn "I Also Get Teary and Crazy" Beck and the whole crew over at Faux News.  It's not a short list.  

If they weren't trying to wreck the country, I'd only love 'em.

Have a great day, y'all.

Keeping in mind her mom is "against the fat-cats"

Just off the news:

Bristol Palin Earns Big Bucks for Anti-Teen Pregnancy Work

Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol earned a whopping $262,000 for her teen pregnancy prevention work in 2009. 


Man, that's rich.


Funniest thing about it, Sarah "The Quitter" Palin won't see any irony.


God, I love those people.




Have a great evening, y'all.

Quote of the day--on Michelle Bachmann

"Michelle Bachmann for President.  For those who think Sarah Palin is too much of an intellectual."  --Bill Maher, "Real Time with Bill Maher"

Another beauty from Sarah "The Quitter" Palin

"It's no wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody you better breastfeed your baby--yeah, you better--because the price of milk is so high right now!"


As long as she doesn't get any national, elected office, I love this woman.


Enjoy your weekend, y'all

Quote of the day---on Sarah P and Glenn Beck

Sarah "Palin and Glenn Beck were born just one day apart in 1964. We're not sure whether it was just coincidence or the result of some sort of LSD experiment gone horribly awry, but the universe conspired to give us a double gift of crazy that has kept on giving."
