Open Thread – Reminder About Meeting Tonight!
For those in Anchorage, or within driving distance, please don’t forget to come to the Assembly meeting today, Tuesday, June 9 at 5pm at the Assembly Chambers in the Loussac Library. If you want to give public testimony supporting the non-discrimination ordinance, come EARLY. Jerry Prevo and his supporters will be there in force. I’m hopeful that the ordinance will pass, but I’m also hopeful that supporters of the ordinance will be there to bear witness. This is a historic moment for our city. If it passes, it will be a milestone for which we should be proud.
Here’s an unfortunately blurry picture of Jackie Buckley from Equality Works with the Mudflats blog mascot Brian the Moose. Thanks to Jackie (who actually braved being a guest on the Eddie Burke Shor!) and everyone at equality works, and in the blogosphere and the mainstream media who has supported this issue, and eloquently stood up for basic human rights.
I hope people turn up with a picnic lunch, afternoon tea, whatever, and drown out Lady Prevo’s stool pigeons. I’ve seen a great deal of fighting spirit in Anchorage – and it wasn’t Prevo’s.
The reason why Mudflatters do not share Sarah’s vision is that they have been drinking the wrong beverages of choice. Introducing: Sarah’s Snake Oil – Just One Sip goes A Long Way!
FDA warns against using Clarcon skin products
The FDA said its findings, following a recent inspection of the Clarcon facility, are particularly concerning because the products are promoted as antimicrobial agents that claim to treat open wounds and damaged skin and protect against various infectious diseases. The inspection uncovered serious deviations from FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, the agency said.

I’m counting on the President to clean up the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and food in the US. What’s keeping him?
Thanks, AKM! See you at the hearing.
Alaska’s LGBT blog Bent Alaska has more on the ordinance, including a run-down of the revised ordinance and guest posts by transgender Alaskans, the main targets of Prevo’s hate.

Letterman’s Top 10 list on Palin’s NYC visit……..

Lots of comments this morning on “Morning Joe” regarding GINO’s interview w/ Hannity and shout out from Newt yesterday.
I found it interesting that Mika kept saying that GINO needs to do some real interviews in order to basically reinvent herself.
A few thoughts on that…first, Mika pushes that “the Media” doesn’t ask alot of politicians “the tough questions”. Aren’t you part of “the Media” Mika and why aren’t you asking the tough questions? Would you ask GINO the tough questions? And good luck on getting anything close to an answer that would make sense from GINO.

“I’d say that he’s in a much stronger position in the state right now than she is,” said Anchorage pollster Anne Hays. “They’re roughly at the same level, but the feeling is that she’s moving down and he’s moving up.”
This sounds hopeful.
re: Letterman
LMAO @ Slutty flight attendant look!!! Finally someone is saying it out loud!!!
Personally, I think that’s an insult to slutty flight attendants everywhere.
Has everyone seen the current “We’re Not That Stupid” page which compares Sarah with Anita? right on!

Oh – UK Lady – There you are. You Brits are known worldwide for being prim and proper and keeping the stiff upper lip. All that being said , could you please help me and explain how in the heck you guys come up with these street names ??

I must say that I wish I was going to that meeting. I have a few things I’d like to say to Mr. Prevo and others there of his ilk. It would promise to be newsworthy. Really.

**************************************************
I’d go with you.
I’d love to go to this meeting with Ripley and Austintx and the other mudpups. I have a few choice things to say to Prevo as well. And I love public speaking, so I’d be happy to represent the shyer pups, too, also.
Good luck to all at the meeting tonight! I hope that Anchorage seizes this opportunity to embrace tolerance, acceptance and inclusion, rather than fear, hatred, bigotry and condemnation. It’s time to demonstrate that we’ve actually learned something from our history of mistreatment of minorities in this country!
Why should anyone have to fight to get equal rights with anyone else, it’s just plain wrong. Good luck all at the meeting.
Now austintx! You have the Brits all wrong. Just because something is spelt rudely it doesn’t mean that’s how we say it.
For instance there are places near me that are spelt quite differently to how they are pronounced – Cogenhoe is pronounced Cook-know, Towcester is pronounced Toaster.
Therefore on your list No 1 would be Bootle Rd, No 3 would be Co-bun St, No 5 would be Sluttle Lane -
Gah!, who am I kidding!, and who put that picture up of my Lane, No 4?
p.s. My first 2 instances are completely true though, causes a lot of confusion.
Palin beginning to annoy some GOPers!, well they’ve got a ways to go to catch up with us then.

UK Lady and Marnie – Thank you both for helping me out on the street signs.
Sorry: Your Welcome,UKLady,my bad.
Kiss of fail! love it, didn’t her hockey team lose something last week when she went? Is it the Aces?
This from WaPo:

Boston: After seeing Palin again on clips from Fox, I was reminded why the nation reacted so negatively towards her in the election (besides the hardcore Republicans). Does the Republican party seriously consider her as a party leader heading into the 2010 and 2012 elections? That would seem a stretch outside any very right leaning Congressional district or state which doesn’t get the Republican party very far in 2010 or 2012.
Ben Pershing: Palin remains very popular with the activist base. The Republican party elite has mixed feelings toward her, which were in evidence during the bungled run-up to last night’s NRSC/NRCC fundraising dinner. Party leaders see Palin as a very good draw, someone who can drive excitement and raise a lot of money. But privately most Republican leaders and members of Congress don’t necessarily think she would do well as the nominee in 2012. She just brings a lot of baggage at this point.

I just wish she would STFU, this little hoochiemama grizz tart telling a sitting president how to run his country, disgusting, why does she even get a platform to spew her bs??? I’m totally sick of her and hope the iceberg smacks her upside the face ASAP! Can’t happen soon enough IMO!

I’ll be there, AKM. I won’t be talking, most likely, but I believe it’s important that we show up in great numbers to counterbalance the busloads of people that I’m sure Jerry will bring in. I’m so tired of this intolerant little man.
The 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin has struck down the State of Texas Pole Tax.
http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/06/09/0609kelso.html
Yeah for the strike down of the pole tax in Texas.
David Letterman hit that top 10 list on the head, excellent.
Her Hannity interview, is that an Alaskan accent or just more Palin jabberwocky:
Fill for feal, rill for real?
Mudpuppies, I apologize if I am out of line as a fairly new member of the community, but may I suggest we consider carefully before making comments regarding our fearless leader’s personal appearance and linking her with the world’s oldest profession?
I admit I get a very good laugh from time to time, and you will get no arguments from me about her dress being very inappropriate for a woman in her position at particular events, but we need to be careful we are not stooping to the level of our counterparts at c4p. There’s so much name calling, snark and vitriol over there that any message they might have gets lost in it. They will never see it in themselves, but they can and do use it against us when they find it here.
Prevo is a fraud. He doesn’t even attempt to live up to the basic foundations and principles of the Baptist Church. The Baptist Church believes that there is no authority figure except God. That all can become church members and they are considered a community of priests, searching for their own unique relationship with and understanding of God.
Mans’ understanding of the world was incredibly different when Holy Scripture and the Bible was written. It is therefore all a matter of interpretation which is different for every person due to there unique life experiences. Prevo’s interpretation is only valid for himself and not something he should force on others.
Prevo also has an ignorant and perverse understanding of gay people. The vast majority of them are not pedophiles, cross-dressers, or transvestites. The ordinance in question does not eliminate any laws.
Prevo should lose his tax-exempt status as he violates the separation of Church and State and tries to force his warped sense of reality on everyone, even though his church members make up less than 1/3 of 1 percent of Alaska’s population.
Thought you guys might be interested in signing:
Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach, has been an Air Force aviator for the past 18 years. He’s flown 400 combat hours, served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and won nine air medals.
So why did the Air Force serve him with a discharge notice last fall – two years before he’s eligible to retire?
Just one reason: Victor happens to be gay. Therefore, under the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law, he’s not free to serve his country.
Keystone Progress and the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network are partnering on a campaign to help Victor keep his job – and his pension. Can you sign our petition to Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley to let Victor continue to serve?
http://sldn.org/fehrenbach
Unfortunately, Victor is only one of the latest in a long line of service members whose careers have been threatened or ended by “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Since the law first took effect 16 years ago, nearly 13,000 service members have been discharged because of their sexual orientation.
It’s not just unfair. It’s also nonsensical. Like Victor, many of these service members have skills and training the military can’t afford to lose.
Their ranks include highly trained aviators, experts on intelligence, and linguists who speak Arabic, Urdu, and Pashto.
The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a Keystone Progress ally, is working to pressure Congress and President Obama to replace “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” with a law that doesn’t discriminate. That way, all qualified Americans will be free to serve their country.
You can help by signing the petition urging Air Force secretary to reconsider Victor’s case – and the larger absurdity of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Sign now:
http://sldn.org/fehrenbach
A law that leads to the discharge of highly skilled, highly decorated veterans like my brother is a law that’s not fair to our service members, not fair to our military, and not fair to our country.

_____LOL! And kudos, couldn’t have said it better myself.
If you ever wonder how Sarah got to where she is: the AK media is the first place to look consider. This is a comment that was deleted in the Anchorage Daily News this morning under their “It was Sarah Palin who stole the show” in their political blog. And the coddling continues as they delete comments like mine:
AndreeMcLeod wrote on 06/09/2009 08:40:34 AM:
It was Sarah Palin who stole the show.
Sounds about right.
Collets per diem (income) for sleeping at home thereby giving herself a raise that runs counter to state mandated $125K salary for all services rendered;
State pays for family travel;
Uses state time, staff and resources for personal and political interests although the personnel board excuses every glaring appearance of impropriety…
Yep…the title sounds about right.
They delete this comment but publish false slanderous statements about me and my motives for:
holding Palin’s feet to the fire because they haven’t; and,
for filing ethics complaints as the law allows; and,
for going to court to sue Palin for official state emails she and Todd have hidden from public view…
If the Alaska media had done even a spackling of investigative reporting on Sarah Palin these last couple of years…McCain would have never selected her as his VP.
::Standing Ovation!:: @ crystalwolf #29. Yes!
Adree, thanks for not giving up and for working so hard to get the word out and to keep the word out about her. The rest of us from the lower 48 all owe a debt to you and people like AKM, Shannyn, Phil, Celtic Diva ..etc…for showing us what the media will not.
It’s a great thing you all are doing, and we all will do whatever we are able to help you guys to keep going, and we will help to spread the word & get the truth out there for all the world to see.
Pay as you go.
Any future government;
1. wanting to give huge tax cuts to the rich, for no particular reason (apart from the ability to whine that there’s no money left for anything else, because we’re running a deficit) would have to justify spending cuts for everybody else first.
2. thinking of starting a legacy building “cake walk” war, will have to propose tax increases, rather than putting the adventure on the country’s credit card.
Back at ya “fiscal conservatives”.

Sorry Andree, most of us gave up posting on ADN months ago. Now they just delete your comments, they used to just kick you off and not let you back. They’re pretty “socialist” in the Alaskan media.
Bravo, Andree- keep up the good work. I’m a stealth commenter on ADN: I wait until I can zing one of the Palinbots with facts, and then post. So far, the censors have left my comments alone- and no ‘Bots have refuted the facts. Truth rules! (sometimes)
OOooo. Ooo. One of my photo submissions is posted on I heart Mudflats. I think it’s my second best. My first best is a pictogram. (look it up) I hope they’re saving it for a special reason.

Oh yeah, doesn’t take much to set them off on a tangent! One of them said “she doesn’t wear so much makeup” HUH? I was just think yesterday how she trough’s is on!!! That HUGE smear of blush, painted eyebrows, harsh blk eyeliner a mile wide, and let we not forget the J-Lo hoochiemama grzz LIPLINER!!!!
Andree, we don’t comment on ADN anymore…I think I’m banned. ADN, Eddie smurk all in the can with GINO! And they will go down with her too…now that’s a happy dance thought
I “borrowed” something from Palin’s Army “over there” — they announced proudly that the Esteemed John Ziegler has resurrected his radio talk show host career (the one I believe he was once fired from) in Los Angeles, and his program is on air from 11 AM to 1 PM PDT on KGIL 1260 AM.
He’s about to talk about the dinner last night in Washington D.C., Jon Voight as host, and special appearance ON HIS SHOW by Gov. Sarah Palin!!! (which is supposed to be in about 10 minutes, if you’re interested)
http://www.1260.am/programming/listen/
Like Andree McLeod, I’m finding ADN heavily censored. Most likely, Palin’s team of attorneys are threatening them. The Alaskan government is set up like a tin-cup dictatorship with 90% of revenues coming from the oil corporations.
Legislators and the press isn’t willing to hold the Dictator in check. So it will be up to the people to make sure Sarah isn’t re-elected.
@ ValleyIndependent
You make an excellent point! I haven’t read all the comments, I’m doing a fly by – but your post caught my eye because it’s good advice no matter what the venue. The fluffy gov makes it so easy to WANT TO you know what – but I pride myself on remaining civil at least 50 percent of the time so it’s only my closest friends and hubby who hear the really awful jokes I make.
Just like the slogans and bumper stickers I designed during the pre-election time – they were funnier (or meaner) than hell and served their purpose by busting up everyone I shared them with. But… I decided to talk rationally to strangers instead about what a twit she is. And that works pretty darn well. My hubby is even better at it! He gets in some really good zingers that don’t sound partisan or biased while he chats with folks all over the country over poker or a myriad of other hobbies. Perspective and humor can save the day.
crystalwolf – sorry to post this here, but I want to pm you on forum, but cannot find your forum name on that roster. Good luck everyone at tonight’s
meeting. I think Shannyn Moore’s latest blog says it all for me. I wish I could be there in person to support LGBT rights, but I am there in spirit.
omg! Gino on right now!SP: Glad he was able to “encapsulate” the election JZ:and bogus claim she plagiarized a speech, a complete and totally fabrication, and KO is lying about it today, now he’s mentioning Joe Biden. SP:She says absolute nonsense.
His show won’t last! Jon Voight is a sorry a$$ example of the people in cali let alone So. Cal very “libril” there!
JZ:Now on about Letterman…Bloomingdale’s for her slutty flight attendant look,
SP:”Ah what a commentary, very sad, attending a Autism walk, just doin’ some good things here for the good people of NY”
Oh, he’s saying she has kicked sand in the republican base. SP:”well I’ll tell ya, I’m just encouraged, to tell ya, maverick, not part of the machine (sorry loud dog barking) just here to help our country. JZ. you have been challenged with unprecedented attacks on you and your family, Terrorist attacks…maybe the sacrifice isn’t worth it? SP. Yes, some of the days I have to ask my self if its worth it…you know what “my son calls from Iraq, I get to go hone and see my children”
I can not sit down and shut up, they can keep takin’ shots.
Now onto socialism….ahhhhhhhhhhh! I can’t stand it!
SP “our country will crumble, expecting Big govt to come in and control us”
“get back to our roots”
JZ. Talking about Sonya Sodameyer, SP: Gender/race should not be anykind of test to pass, she chooses the “BEST” judges in Alaska , she doesn’t know if she would of picked her.
JZ. Did John McCain diss her on a recent show SP; didn’t see that JM is a good man, a american hero, she will never say anything bad of JM. Remember those words
SP: flying commercial keeps ya ground, hard workin’ Americans. JZ: when are you coming to LA?
BARF ! Now he’s gonna talk about the real Sarah Palin…BARF, BARF!
Keep up the good fight, Andree! I know it’s tough but you are making a difference in Alaska.
I too have noticed that the ADN has displayed a true lack of hard cutting journalism when it comes to Sarah’s antics (not to mention their lack of vetting her in the 2006 state election). The ADN was put in a pivotal role in September or 2008 and instead of acting like a first class, objective new source they got the deer in the headlights look and fawned over Sarah. And people call the ADN a liberal rag.

Lori-its “caligrl wolves eat palin”
And here’s my not-probably-as-well-transcribed-as-crystalwolf’s OR AKM’s versions of recent speeches/interviews:
Start: 12:04
Z: since you saw the film…what are your thoughts?
amazing documentary, so many thoughts were included in there…you were able to encapsulate so much of what happened with the media….(praised his new show)
P: (talked about the plagiarism charge) calls them buffoons — they’ve forgotten what a journalist knows.
Z: Don’t you think that it’s an astonishing double standard (brings up Joe Biden)?
P: Facts don’t matter any more, truth doesn’t matter any more in the world of journalism
P: where is the accountability in the media, repeating distortions in the name of hard news, we’re heading towards a scary place.
Z: brings up David Letterman’s #2 of top 10. Reaction?
P: (having trouble coming up with something coherent, from her stammering) (finally) pretty pathetic.
Z: About the reports out of Washington DC, the GOP anonymous critics in the Republican establishment who have an agenda to criticize her.
P: I’m encouraging the leaders, the Republican machine, to be inclusive, to include the outsiders like me, that they’re not going to challenge but to help our country.
Z: Unprecedented acts and danger toward your family, terrorists trying to intimidate your family, any moment do you think “is this really all worth it?” Is that an issue?
P: That’s a gooooood question, John, no one has asked me that. Yeah, there are some days that I’ve asked myself that. Others have ticked off the list of things that have been said, relishing bringing it up, “beautiful children, son is safe, we are a family doing things together — I don’t want anybody who has a love for America to sit down and shut up! I’m going to continue to speak up for national security, for energy, etc. etc.”
Z: re: HAnnity, “I told you so” re” socialism in a short period of time — maybe the messaging wasn’t all that good — media coverage? portions of Americans don’t fear socialism?
P: Let’s hope Americans don’t become comfortable with those ideas, because our country will crumble under socialism. Our children must learn the value of working hard, we are the greatest country on earth, we must be proud of our country.
Z: Chime in on Sonya Sotomayor? Can you name any other candidates you’d name if you had the responsibility?
P: Gender, race should not be any kind of test to pass. Wants the best == in Alaska she doesn’t look through a gender-race agenda. I’m sure there are many qualified candidates considered….I don’t know.
Z: What’s it like to fly commercial.
P: Will be picking up Piper and Trig on last leg of the trip.
Z: When are we going to see you in L.A.?
P: Never been to Disneyland… (never answered the L.A. question)
End: 12:21
—————–
John Ziegler is saying now, after the interview, he and Palin have something in common….neither of them can lie.
(crickets)
OMG! He’s saying GINO doesn’t have”the ability to lie”
Total honesty….boy we know what head he’s using to think with…
Hey John…can a sell you a bridge in Alaska???????
Oh, I guess we all don’t “GET her”…..????????????????
Oh geeze he’s working himself in a lather…raising his voice….
Gag a maggot alert!!!!
He has “intimate knowledge” because of his interview on his film. There he goes his voice rising. She could of thrown him under the bus but didn’t. Begging for phone calls…..
Oh no other polictican has had the media attacks she had during the election???
What about “he’s a muslim” what about “kill him” What about all the bs she said against PO???
What a AssHat!
FEAR, the terrorist, who are trying to bring her down, blah,blah,blah!!!
Gag a maggot, his show will not last, if all he can do is kiss her a$$ especially in LA!
‘For those who think that Sarah’s wardrobe mishaps aren’t relevant, I recommend Regina’s current post at Palingates where she sees the poor wardrobe choices are examples of poor judgment. Many women have long memories, going back to the days when they were “honey” and “get me another coffee.” In the struggle for equality, women realized that they had to look professional, not suggestive, to be taken seriously in the workplace. A clothing resale shop in my area carries beautiful designer suits, the kind that run $150,000. on a Republican credit card. The owner explained that her best customers were women lawyers who had to look their best in court. What they wore influenced how the jury looked at them in deciding the case and how they would be treated by the judge. Most of all, if the woman wore a designer label, the other lawyer, usually male, backed off a little, wondering how successful she might be.
In today’s electronic world, stories spread like wildfire. If they can write anything about you (assuming that you want publicity), why would you want them to be writing about the cute nail polish designs on your toe nails and your open toe sandals instead of your achievements in office??
My comment that she was behaving like a “spoiled brat” during the whole “lets not let the Ds use the same process the Rs use to fill empty legislative seats” debacle got deleted and they wouldn’t let me post any more for “name calling.”
Andree, did they give you a reason for deleting your comment? I wrote the ADN editor, and after an email exchange in which he allowed that in retrospect he probably should have let it go, and I promised to behave myself better in future, I’m now back on.
What’s really ironic is that they would delete your comment, but post Letterman’s top ten list, complete with “…flight attendant” item.
I liked this item they posted:
HankZ wrote on 06/09/2009 11:13:15 AM:
In related news, Paris Hilton continues to rake in the cash as well. Which is probably appropriate, as her energy policies have resulted in as much natural gas flowing through a pipeline as have the policies of Palin: a big fat zero gallons so far.
Paris did it without handing away 500 million of Alaska’s money to a Canadian company in an attempt to preserve the illusion of something viable being done.
Paris and Palin: the illusion of something good without any substance at all or any accomplishments to their names. Both just interested in themselves and nothing else.
@ mae lewis
“…why would you want them to be writing about the cute nail polish designs on your toe nails and your open toe sandals instead of your achievements in office?”
You would actually need to have made some achievements before making this choice! She’s all smoke and mirrors – which means when she goes down, there will be a huge fireball and a loud crash.
“Z: Unprecedented acts and danger toward your family, terrorists trying to intimidate your family, ..”
Does anyone know what this refers to ?

The RSVP of Sarah Palin for that thing. Feel free to post it everywhere.
@ #63: Well, it completely passed over the heads of the see2pee’ers listening, Eric-the-Bun — they never commented on it.
It must be one of those “state secrets” Palin and Stapleton are not talking about. Maybe some crazed right-winger tinfoil-hat wearer was taking a swipe at a protester at a Palin rally or at one of those events Palin attends, and he got the Guv on the backswing….

Clever.
I can think of one more phrase that should be added at the bottom of that RSVP:
“Are the First Family invited?”
mae, that’s a very good piece.
My guy has a bimbo in his office that slept her way to her position. No one respects her, including the boss she’s sleeping with. It’s likely he will soon be forced out for incompetence, and she will be out on the street looking for a job she’s qualified for. She has done herself no favors.
Smart women want their audience thinking about their message and looking at their face, not their cleavage, legs or feet, when they speak.
Smart women appreciate and show respect for women who have actually earned their place at the table with hard work and perseverance, and who, as noted, remember when women were only allowed in board rooms to bring coffee or deliver messages.
Palin knows she is not one of those women and is using every distraction tactic she can think of to keep the rest of the nation from figuring it out. I have news for her: It’s not working. She needs to go find some of those women (believe me, there are plenty of them right here at home in the Mat-Su) and beg them to be her mentors.
I’m headed out. Thanks for putting up with my many and long-winded posts today. I needed that therapy after listening to SP on Hannity.

I think, what he is referring to is “troopergate” babygate & all her ethics complaints…
Of course hysterically exaggerating these things b/c that’s what wingnuts do!!!!
like I said before him and her and peelanders are WATB!
Look up in Urban dictonary(thanks Phil)
A fun read:
As a political comedian, I was thrilled that Sarah Palin was in New York over the weekend. But not as thrilled as the owners of the New York Yankees. Palin was at Yankee Stadium with Rudy Giuliani on Sunday, making them the first people to actually sit in those $2600 seats behind home plate. Not that they paid for the tickets. Palin may not like accepting federal stimulus money to help Alaskans, but she’s happy to say “you betcha!” when offered free first row Yankees tickets.
For the rest:

Me, too. Neither.
I agree with you guys, totally……..on some damaged level she knows the sexy or unprofessional thing is a good distraction strategy, it throws people off the trail, to not talk about FACTS. If she’s going to spout off she needs to back up her BS but no one requires that of her.
Where are her hard questions, they keep candy coating……NO ONE is digging for in depth proof she knows what the heck she’s talking about…….and I’m quite sure she likes it like that, thank you very much, don’t pick on me or ask hard questions cuz that “proves” to me you are not on my side, therefore the enemy. She can’t EVEN respect people seeking clarity, or more of her deep wisdom.

@ mae lewis
“…why would you want them to be writing about the cute nail polish designs on your toe nails and your open toe sandals instead of your achievements in office?”
You would actually need to have made some achievements before making this choice! She’s all smoke and mirrors – which means when she goes down, there will be a huge fireball and a loud crash.
well she bess remember to declare those gifty seat tickets, correct?
“making them the first people to actually sit in those $2600 seats behind home plate. Not that they paid for the tickets. Palin may not like accepting federal stimulus money to help Alaskans, but she’s happy to say “you betcha!” when offered free first row Yankees tickets.”
President Barack Obama gives the order.

No one ever asks her the hard questions. After that meanie Katie almost made her cry they just don’t have the heart. I mean, come on, who of us knows what we read? Doit.

Palin snubs the Washington old timers. Looks like she is just going for the base. Good luck with that, idiot. Some think she is heading for an early fight with Mittens, good luck with that too, she will get mauled.

I’m watching the Ed show on MSNBC…you go, Ed!!!!…he’s on a roll. We need more like him out there, opposing the crazy right wing garbage-mouths. If this doesn’t get you fired up, nothing will.
palin, are you listening??? we’re not taking this sitting down anymore!
Does Palin *really* want to take on David Letterman? Did she not comprehend what he did to John McCain?
David Letterman contributed to the defeat of the McCain/Palin ticket. Sorry, but….he did. (Stewart, Colbert and a whole mess of others helped, also, too.)
David Letterman will not only *not* apologize….he’ll twist and and add salt. And it will be highly entertaining. I can’t wait.

******************************************************
McCain crawled back to Letterman. Keep bumpin’ your gums sarah………..
McCain DID crawl back to Letterman, but the respect he once had will never be the same (and you can only play the POW card so much) …when McCain showed his true colors (including choosing palin), he lost more than just the election. palin has already reached that pivotol moment, but unlike McCain, she will NOT stay quiet and in the background, nor will she become smarter anytime soon. she’s an embarrassment to AK. jmo

NSFW but very funny
The other day I was looking for who was commenting on the plagiarism stories and I got a breaking story from ‘texasforpalin’… as they were trashing Dunn.
I wondered if they were an exact copy of of the pe-ers. I just visited there because Texas is her next stop. I couldn’t help but notice….a Mr. josh painter.
He seems to post most of the stories and all the stories have ‘ Zero’ comments..?
Well OK… there were two or three with ‘ 2 comments’.
I had to ask myself… ” Is he writing them for Himself?”
Because he does seem very popular with His opinion… no one is listening.
I did find this little tidbit though… written by Mr painter.
Somebody else looks like they are trying out for John Zieglers job.
Same story… been told already. Bad reviews the first time it played though.

Weekly Standard editor working on Palin biography
Weekly Standard associate editor Matthew Continetti is writing a biography of Gov. Sarah Palin to be published by Penguin’s conservative Sentinel imprint in 2010.
Titled The Persecution of Sarah Palin, the book will be, according to WritersReps.com, “a defense of the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate who became an inspirational sensation for her party, only to be unfairly demonized by the media, the Democrats, and her own campaign.”
Hmmm ….here is some News on Huffpo….
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov. Rick Perry broke his collarbone while riding a mountain bike near his home.
——————————–
Those Texas Guvners need to stop riding those ‘mountain bikes’.
Or Between Bush and Perry…. do they not know HOW to ride a bike..?
Makes you wonder.
Will he miss Greeting Sarah when she arrives. She sure does create havoc when she travels.
Let’s not forget to vote for AKM.
