I was just watching CNN and I couldn’t believe what I heard. Even if McCain loses this election, many in the Republican party will see Governor Moose Meat as the candidate who almost saved McCain. In other words, it wasn’t her fault – he would have been nothing without her. The reporter then took that to a horrifying conclusion – Palin in 2012.
Has everybody gone mad? Dear Lord she is like a cockroach. We’ll never be rid of her! I tell you after the scare of that report my hair went from a lovely silver, just like that sweet Anderson Cooper’s, to stark white… completely devoid of color (my hair not Anderson Cooper).
You know, Harold and I had a mouse problem once. We tried everything and couldn’t get rid of it. My children were young at the time and begged us to keep it as a pet. I had to teach them about diseases and germs and all things rodent. No. This was not appropriate to keep as a pet no matter how cute it appeared. Come to think of it, its squeak was kind of quirky and I could have sworn it winked at me on more than one occasion. But I held firm. I had to protect my children. It needed to go and eventually it did. But now it seems to be back sporting designer frames and an up-swept hairdo.
I’m sorry. I can’t write any more right now. I am in shock. Let me think on this for a day. Leave your comments and maybe together we can come up with the proverbial better mousetrap or at least a can of Raid.
Remember to vote early if you can. And stop by again soon. Thank you. I mean it. Really.
[ PS. Our grandchildren and great nieces and nephews think all this attention makes us "cool". It only took 82 years! They are busy designing some cute buttons and t-shirts. I'll let you know when they are done so you can see them.]
Palin was not folksy. She was stupid. She said she wanted to be like Dick C. What the? Who are these people that voted for her and McPain? She might as well said, I’ll give you a pony if you elect me for vice president. and Mcpain McCain sold himself out by buddying up with papa Bush. What a loser. He was tortured but to get elected he was willing say it was okay. Why are christians for torture and war?
I am still confused about that.
Thank science for Obama

I LOVE this blog. It’s the best. While my wife will tell you I’m a ridiculous optimist, I was right about the election and I’ll tell you something else I’m right about. Sarah Palin is done, DONE. She had her 15 minutes of fame, well slightly more unfortunately, but she will disappear from the political landscape quicker than you can say Drill Baby Drill! She was painful and fun to watch. Just imagine if Tina Fey didn’t get a chance to parody her. It would have deprived us of the most enjoyable part of the election. I’ll tell you she’s DONE!

An added thought – the only thing Fiance and the mother of his kids agree on? OBAMA!

My neighbor has a McCain/Palin sign in her front yard and I’m friendly with her in the “Oh, Hi, how are you? Sons? I’m sorry my dog is in your yard again but he didn’t pee on anything” kind of way. I just want to knock and say “Are you kidding me? I thought you were intelligent? And you’re female! Palin? Seriously Bonnie.”
My fiance has hidden the spray paint.

Count all votes and have a machine that prints a ballot so that a recount can be done if there is a dispute.

Thank you for the blog – I love hearing your perspective.
I think what scares me most is the prospect of Palin as a VP becoming President if McCain was to suffer a stroke or other incapacitating illness. The man is in good health, but things happen. I’m a lot more comfortable with Biden assuming the presidency if something would happen to Obama than I am with Palin taking McCain’s role.
Just something to think about!
After all – as a parent – don’t you want a partner that ensure your child will grow into a great adult if something happens to you? I have the same wishes for our country.

Thanks for taking such upsetting news and making it hilarious. The idea of a Palin mouse living in your walls- priceless! Does it wear a tiny red business suit?
If Sarah Palin becomes first woman president (or for that matter, first woman anything), I’m pretty sure I’ll vomit until I die. And that’s putting it politely.

i think she is scary because of what she stands for and in defense she can lie, and perhaps even destroy, without a blink. she is an immense liability to women, american people–humanity that should not be ignored. it must be nipped at the bud. maybe she can be impeached for her inappropriate behavior as a governor. beyond just expressing discontent–disgust–we should do something to prevent her from doing “real” harm in the future. all suggestions and knowledge you have regarding this matter, curtailing her political career are welcomed. we must act within reason and law to safeguard people’s dignity.

If you have a rat, wouldn’t it be a good idea to get a cat? Or a couple of cats. Hungry, skinny cats.

You know, you could ask Sarah Palin to move to British Columbia. Since all us socialists smoke dope and eat bacon, we won’t mind her one little bit. She’ll keep us laughing for ages.

It’s nice that Sarah wants more education and support for children with special needs. Of course, McShame plans to FREEZE all spending. But I think she should want more resources to help pregnant teenagers finish high school, doncha think? ALSO, there should be remedial schooling for people who want to be vice president – like reading the constitution and major newspapers ALSO !

It doesn’t really matter if Caribou Barbie runs in 2012 (although I am not sure she will). Basically, the R’s have no new ideas. All they have is culture wars and taxes. That’s not enough. The need something new, and basically have 8 years to come up with it.
But we will need something new too. We will need someone to follow Obama in 2016. I don’t think it’ll be Biden or Hillary. From 1976-1980, the D’s had the Presidency and an overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress. But the R’s came along with a new set of ideas and the right person to sell them. I didn’t like those ideas or that president, but let’s be honest, it has worked for the Rs ever since. All of them have invoked Reagan and his vision ever since. They got complacent. We cannot afford to be.
I said earlier that I don’t think Palin will be back in 2012. That may be wishful thinking, but with the scandals she’s facing (troopergate, billing the Alaska for taking her tykes to first class digs, charging a per diem to be home in Wasilla, the $150,000 in clothes), I just don’t see it. If she isn’t left out in the snow in Alaska, she’ll be laughed off the national stage when next she shows up. And never mind having no new ideas–she doesn’t even have a clue….and most of America already knows that.

I just saw something that was toooo funny.
Palin was asked for her definition of “Elitist” and her answer was “someone who thinks they are better than anyone else”.
Then when she was asked, “so it’s not educational, not income base, state of mine, not geography…
She said, ”of course not”
OF COURSE NOT!!!!!! Oh my gosh, how much more is she going to set women back?
I almost fell off the chair laughing. Then I wondered to myself, why would she say that?
The interviewers have a field day with her every time, and she falls in their trap every time.
How many times must she hang herself?
SNL did it with her right there. Why did they let her go on SNL? It made her look even worse.
Y’know it reminds me of something a Black lady, a friend of mine, told me a long time ago.
Remember the movie Gone With The Wind?????? She said, “that movie set Black women back 200 years …
“oooo, ms scarlit, I don’t know nut’’n ‘bout birff’n no baby”……..
……………….that’s the way I feel about Sarahnook of the North ….
