Thank you for the flowers, Margaret. You always know just how to cheer me up. And yes, the tree is still up. This year is going to be one to remember. I can already tell.
I got halfway through Sarah’s book and quit. Quitting is not like me, but I figure if Sarah can quit pretty much everything she starts then I can quit her book. She can’t write worth a damn but she can certainly draw a crowd… then again, so can a train wreck.
Life is never difficult in her world. There is never anything to ponder. There is no thought… no debate. The world is simply black and white… oil and snow. Her approach to politics is simple. Government shouldn’t do anything. Because doing something would need thought. And thought is too much to ask from Sarah Palin. She has other things to do like getting even with anyone who has ever exposed her stupidity.
People like Sarah used to believe in creationism. But like a 10-year-old who realizes believing in Santa Clause has run its course, Sarah now believes in intelligent design. The problem with that concept is you have to be unintelligent to believe it. This is a woman who thought she was being smart when she pointed out that Barack Obama’s middle name is Hussein. Life is complicated… mysterious even…. but intelligent? Hardly. Intelligent design can’t explain the existence of a mosquito anymore than I can explain the existence of this book or her rise to politcal fame.
Helen, you give me hope that the country isn’t being completely infected with Palinia pestis (sort of like the plague but instead of death one becomes an unthinking zombie). Go, girl!

Helen, it has been a month since you told us you stopped reading the Palin book. I am so thankful. I wouldn’t have been able to cope with a play by play of that book. Hope life is getting simpler for you.

I just learned of your website from my friend and I love it. You make me laugh out loud!
Regarding Sarah Palin… Have you ever noticed that when you do a spell-check on her last name it always comes up as “plain”? I think eliminating the “l” would do the trick!

Helen,
I am certainly glad you are feeling better. I wish you would write a book. You are a wonderful writer and definite worth the read unlike Palin’s crap on toilet paper.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and making us all laugh everyday.

MIKE…
In your original post you quoted snopes.
Now you claim to be a “factcheck” contributor.
Which is it Mike?
Meds Mike. You need to remember your meds.

Anyone catch Jon Stewart or Colbert the other nite? What a brilliant way to show just how stupid the “don’t ask don’t tell” logic is. Just substitute old for gay. They really showed MCCain for what he is. A flip flopping, can’t remember what he said, bow to which ever way his right wingnut party blows asshat. But the worse for me was cringing with embarrassment when our illustrious Redneck criminal Rep Saxby Chambliss spoke. I thought it was 1954 again.

Mike,
It is best to not feed the trolls. Craig is a regular that has a penchant for controlling as many posts as possible. He’s not very bright but loves attention. He’s a very sad POS.

Craig,
President Obama was there. Yes. former president Bush did go to the post. It stated that the WH asked Bush to leave, as claimed was undetermined, but the other comments, if you read them, are false.
You guys put this crap up , pass it around, and it’s always false-every time . I use factcheck and have helped them on occasion with getting the truth out on this bs. I don’t know what your motivation is except to hurt the country. Go crawl back into your hole please.

In response to your above post..I saw Snopes and it did confirm that Bush did go to Ft. Hood.
It also said that the visit was undetermined as to what surprise value it had on the post at Hood.
Obama not being there…no surprise.
Case closed.

Craig, take a look and read this
http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/forthood.asp. It is not been demonstrated that President Obama asked Pres.Bush to leave. butI’ll bet that is also untrue. Everyone of these wingnut posted things eventually turn out to be untrue, and posted by liars who have nothing better to do but run down our President. If you read the text of what I posted, you will see that much if waht you say is not true.

(The author of this note) sent my cousin in Fayetteville, N.C. (retired from Special Forces) that picture of Geo. W. visiting the wounded at Ft. Hood .. I got this reply:
What is even better is the fact George W. Bush heard about Fort Hood, got in his car without any escort, apparently they did not have time to react, and drove to Fort Hood.. He was stopped at the gate and the guard could not believe who he had just stopped. Bush only ask for directions to the hospital then drove on. The gate guard called that “The president Is on Fort Hood and driving to the hospital.” The base went bananas looking for Obama. When they found it was Bush they immediately offered escort and Bush simply told them to shut up and let him visit the wounded and the dependents of the dead. He stayed at Fort Hood for over six hours and was finally asked to leave by a message from the White House. Obama flew in days later and held a “photo ” session in a gym and did not even go to the hospital. All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened to be at Fort Hood when it happened.
This Bush/Obama/Ft.Hood story is something that should be sent to every voter in the US.

Welcome back. I missed you. I hope you had a chance to see Obama Q and A with Republicans at their retreat. If you didn’t try to find a tape of it. You won’t regret the effort. Watching Obama adeptly answer those questions was like heaven on earth. Sigh, we can finally see and hear an intelligent president speak (no teleprompter needed — the man had his own ‘google’ search engine in his brain!!)
After it was over some Republicans admitted that televising it live wasn’t the best idea. As Steven Colbert put it (paraphrasing) it was like the (Republicans) challenging AquaMan to a duel and saying ‘But first, let’s get in the water!”

I keep looking for Mooselini’s attack on Rush Limbaugh after he publicly 10x’d what Rahm Emmanual said privately. Rush has an audience of multi-millions. What? She hasn’t gone after him? Surely he should set a better example! Sarah, don’t miss your chance – he’s handed you a shiny platform!

So glad you are back, missed you a lot..really.
Do you suppose, just maybe, McCain didn’t really want to be president and selected Palin because he knew that was the most absolute sure positive guarantee that he would not be elected?

tradesman, that AD is placed after the judgment of Dr. Tiller’s murderer for a reason and it is why I oppose it. I made that clear. Normally, I don’t have a problem with that sort of thing its the timing and the message it sends.
What doesn’t make sense is that you seem to like the video opposing the AD? Did you even watch it? Did you see it is a PLANNED PARENTHOOD Ad? lol! Honestly, you crack me up sometimes.
BTW, you guys will get a chuckle out of this, promise.

“Methinks Limbaugh mixed Obama’s speech up with one of Palin’s old campaign speeches.”
Or with one of his own broadcasts, for heaven’s sake.

So good to see you posting again. I worry when you don’t.
Love your rationale for quitting the book. You’re right–quitting is best met with quitting, especially in La Palin’s case.
She creeps me out; her mission in life is to make others as ignorant as she is feel as if they deserved a shot at governance.
Yech.
