Good Old Neon

Yours and mine both...oh Meg...sigh...

Some sort of law ought to be passed forbidding her from ever seeking and/or attaining another position in government – period. She’s a.) incompetent, and b.) and more importantly, totally fucking insane. She’s qualified to hock Tupperware on the QVC, but that’s about it – and that has absolutely nothing to do with her gender, at all – not even a little – zero – nadda – zilch.

I thought that by combining all the all-caps words, I’d maybe CRACK some sort of secret code - but when distilled, all I got for my trouble was: DESTROYING AMERICA ACORN WELL HUSSAIN GOVERNMENT PALIN TRUE AMERICAN COUNTRYS LIBERTY AND FREEDOM HAVE A NICE DAY JAMES. Which, makes about as much sense as the orignal post - oh well.

As do I - thank you young sir.

An IQ? And, it was like, one in the morning, I was bored and down like, four beers.

What follows is a real response from an actual Palin supporter. It was sent in reply to something I posted on Palin's Facebook page. Dim the lights, chill the ham, and enjoy. Hey Joe your right i voted for bush and McCain at least they were americans who care about our Country not like your boy Obama whos DESTROYING AMERICA if we had something like ACORN i could have voted 10 or 20 times for McCain ! A russain leaded once said the way to destroy america is from the inside WELL look at the people this adminstration brought into the whitehouse tax cheats and radicals and the shots they bee

I see your point, I really do. But considering a very strong case can be made regarding his status as a war criminal, and his goofy antics strike me as a little less funny. Sort of like some asshole dictator yukking it up while people, both citizens of his own country, and the one he just invaded, are dieing in the streets. The dude should spend the rest of his life in a box, located in some godforsaken mosquito infested swamp in Louisiana – or, better yet, left to his own devices on the streets of Baghdad.

Sort of like they did and continue to do with Bush? Find me one media outlet that has actually used the word “torture” in relation to his Admin giving the ok to do just that. And then, when you’re done doing that – please find me examples of the MSM asking tough questions in relation to the lead up to the war in Iraq and the myriad other scandals he, along with his Administration, was involved with. Please? There are two ways in which to defend someone, 1.) actively defend their flaws/lies/etc, or 2.) simply decline to point them out.

Aw man, can't I be the new lolz?

That’s what I find interesting about Levi as well. The prick, and he is a prick, but the prick is a wildcard. By continually attempting to discredit him, the Palin camp risks adding validity to his claims. Which, whether you like him or not, given the Jerry Springer-esque circus that always seems to surround Palin, don’t strike me as all that outlandish. Had he come out and claimed Palin has, in the past, expressed a desire to legalize hunting toddlers from the safety of a helicopter, well, I’d take it with a grain of salt. But it has already been speculated that Palin’s resignation had more t

Noonan nailed it. In other news, that kid named after a pair of pants is starting to talk, and, insofar as Palin is concerned, it’s exactly flattering. From Andrew Sullivan: She was really really stupid to piss him off: He claims he heard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of the lucrative deals that were being offered, including a reality show and a book. “I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars,” said Johnston, who has had a strained relationship with the family but now says things have improved. She quit to join the Limb

Well sure, but have you seen her melons?

From NPR - the photos accompanying this story speak volumes. Turning The Camera Around: Health Care Stakeholders When 22 senators started working over the first health care overhaul bill on June 17, the news cameras were pointed at them -- except for NPR's photographer, who turned his lens on the lobbyists. Whatever bill emerges from Congress will affect one-sixth of the economy, and stakeholders have mobilized. We've begun to identify some of the faces in the hearing room, and we want to keep the process going. The photos (there are four of them) - http://www.npr.org/news/specials/200

What you call a nightmare, paranoid right-wing militia types call fetish porn.

Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. WOLVERINES!!!

Commie. WOLVERINES!!!

True, but I think you, and like, seven other people are the only sane conservatives left. The following reader submission was just posted on Andrew Sullivan’s blog, so, including this guy, yourself and Sullivan, I know of at least three. There could be more out there I suppose, but you sure as shit wont find them on Palin’s Facebook page. Now, if there were only a way to sterilize folks who visit and post positive feedback on her site… Anyways, the letter: To make me easier to stereotype, I'm been a Republican for 10 years, and I'm one of those small-town-raised, Ivy-educated, conservati

I don’t know, of all the political comics out there, Miller was in the perfect position to capitalize on Bush’s blunders. From a comics standpoint, given the success of The Daily Show, Bill Maher, Lewis Black, etc. it would appear as though the real money to be made is in attacking the right. To a large degree, today’s comics live and die through the successful use of irony, and traditionally, irony has always been a tool of the left, not the right. If he claims to have experienced a conversion following 9/11, I’m inclined to take him at his word. But it must be hell for someone of his inte

I think my crush on her lasted about as long as it took her to do that little Mrs. Clause dance thing on Dennis Miller’s news desk – the other SNL cast member to go all right wing dickhead on us. At one time, Miller would have gone at Palin like the big empty piñata that she is, now the asshat actually defends her. The cognitive dissonance in his head must me painful and deafening.

I posted that to start a dialog regarding Jackson’s milf and/or gilf-itude. I felt that the conversation regarding Palin had become circular in nature, and so yeah, Jackson.

Further musings from the world of crazy – this time, former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson has at it: You see, evil doesn't just show up. It disguises itself as something nice; so you'll let it in. It tricks you. [...] Social Security and Medicare are broke. Baby boomers, like me, are getting old and will soon be asking for it. Socialized medicine makes people die. You stand in a long, long line with a breast lump, clogged artery, or sharp pencil stuck in your eye, and someone like the DMV person, who can't speak English, has chewing gum, an attitiude [sic], really long fake nails that

No no no, don't listen to the thigh - hold tight to your integrity. There are a million and one milfs out there who are more worthy of your attention.

The lie regarding Todd's involvement with the secessionist movement is particularly tasty: Andrew Sullivan: You know I said a lot of tough things about Steve Schmidt in the rough and tumble of the campaign, but the more we find out about what actually went on, the more you realize he was actually one of the few sane people with real clout in the McCain implosion. And CBS News has some new evidence of a classic Palin lie - deployed against the McCain campaign. She tried to argue that it was false that her husband had been a member of the Alaska Independence Party and false that the Alaska I

Exactly - and Andrew Sullivan was kind enough to compile a list (the original article provides corroborating links for each lie). Some readers have asked me to put all the various odd lies of Sarah Palin that the Dish has compiled in one helpful place. So that's what we've done. A couple of months ago, I asked an intern to re-fact-check all of them to make sure new details hadn't emerged that might debunk some. And I also asked to get any subsequent statements by Palin that acknowledged that she had erred in any of these statements that are easily rebuttable by facts in the public record an

I get the howling fantods just looking at her. Sure, I guess if we could somehow erase everything we know about her, she could be considered attractive. But there’s (at least) two kinds of fugly, just plain old, sorry about your luck, the victim of bad genes fugly, and then there’s the, attractive on a superficial level, but in every other way imaginable, just fucking horrific and irreparably scarred on the inside kind of fugly. Shit, a man has to have some standards.
