Open Thread – Spare Brain?
Many times in life I’ve wished for a spare brain when mine seems to get too full, and I feel like trading in for one with more memory. I was walking along the trail the other day, looked down and saw that thing. It was rather alarming at first. I’m sure it’s some kind of fungus, but it made me laugh because it looks like a tiny brain, just sitting there doing nothing on the trail. It’s about the size of a golf ball and a half.
my spouse has golf on his brain all summer every summer……wonder if that is what HIS brain looks like….
(first).
Must not make joke about Mudflats finding Sarah’s brain, or that it looks bigger than I imagined…..
By George!…..I think you have located the mysterious whereabouts of Palin’s brain.
About the size of a golf ball and laying on a trail somewhere, eh? Figures.
Capital work, Sherlock!
Lee323, I have to agree….Palin’s brain has been found!
It’s much larger and less fungus-y than the brains of those Red Shirts!
OK, I’m trying to be nice, but I have to admit that the first thing I thought was the same as bucfan and Lee323 – LOL. It’s just all too tempting.
Oh, dear I thought I was going to be funny, but looks like I would have been just repetitive dear Pat…..
So must not make joke about who the brain belongs to and that she should be told about its whereabout here too and also.
That can’t possibly be her brain – it looks a little bit “used”!
Puffball. How appropriate!

Slutty Flight Attendants March in Solidarity with Palin
The protest march, organized by the National Association of Slutty Flight Attendants, attracted as many as twenty thousand slutty marchers, according to NYPD estimates.

Andy Borowitz strikes again.
Slutty Flight Attendants, wow, leather sales will be booming.
“Do you know the difference between a regular flight attendant and a slutty one?” she said. “Lipstick.”
Too funny, those pitt bulls are a hoot.
Hmm, I have seen Jesus’ face in a crushed egg carton but never a brain. Pretty cool. Wonder who lost it?
hahaha… all you weisenheimers!
Perhaps AKM needs to go hiking more often… will she find Palin’s sense of comportment? Palin’s dignity? Palin’s sense of ethical and moral behavior?
Will AKM find Palin’s “off” switch… yanno, the thing which keeps Palin from whining like such a loser.
That’s what my brain feel’s like after last nite……….
Slutty Flight Attendants… methinks Letterman has found the campaign theme for Palin’s run for higher office!
Slutty Flight Attendant for President!
Not to necessarily be snarky… well, okay, maybe I am being, but if the puffball represents Sarah, does the morchella represent The Dud?

Drinking cheap beer will always leave you feeling a little shroomie, Austin.
“a tiny brain doing nothing on the trail”. Sounds an awful lot like the McCain/GINO run for the White House.
I agree with aeroentropy, it looks like a puffball. When young, they are nice fried in butter and garlic. When they get old, though, they go all black inside and when squeezed, they erupt in little puffs of black spores.

That’s right, Paula… here’s one part I really liked:
“BARBERRIE REYNOLDS: I think if she didn’t have any daughters that got pregnant in the first place, Sean, it would be like, What? Where did that come from? But she did. It’s not like — and these women, the National Organization of Women, shouldn’t they be more offended that she didn’t teach her daughter safe sex than a comment that a comedian made? To me, that’s…”
OMG – has anyone but me noticed the resemblance between Glen Beck and Rush? I was just at the Huffington Post, and, on a sidebar, there was a pic of GB, and I thought at first it was of a younger Limbaugh! Of course, they are two of a kind in thought, but this is the first time I picked up on the physical thing.
How totally uncreative of me… my first thought and no doubt the first reaction of almost anyone who is addicted to mudflats was – OK, there’s her brain – but Where’s (the rest of) Sarah???? Just sayin’ also.
It really is such a shame that the beautiful and awesome state of Alaska has had to suffer under so much nasty “Northern exposure.” I know it is impossible for her to just shut up and stay out of the lime light, and thus keep her kids out of the nastiness of all the negative publicity she brings on them – as someone else said, she will do anything for publicity, she craves the attention… and ya gotta feel sorry for her, she doesn’t realize she has outgrown that little wink and you betcha…
What if she did something POSITIVE for Alaska for a change? What if she tended to the real business of being a governor? What if she actually acted as if she cared about the people of Alaska, not just the hockey scores and her few worshipers… Wouldn’t it be nice if she took the pressure off her family by disappearing for a while – like to her office – to the areas in need – out among the people that need a strong governor, not a publicity hound, er pitbull, whatever. A kinder, gentler Sarah… one who doesn’t parade her children around for the world to see. If she really wanted to protect them, she would have left them home in the first place. Sadly, she will never realize how she brought this on herself and on her family, will she?
Oh and those comments also.too.

AKM was hiking a trail
The sun shone bright,
The clouds were pale-
Very little mud
So Buf was clean;
Taking pictures of nature
And other stuff to be seen-
And what did she spy
Lying on the ground:
A grayish brain,
Tinged with brown!
Looking here
And looking there,
There was no one anywhere-
How could someone not realize
Their skull was bare?
They couldn’t reason, they couldn’t care-
You’d think they’d be searching,
Crying and wailin’
Oh wait- it not needed…
It belongs to Palin
(although I agree with mwThatOne: my H was golf ball brain, too. also)
@bucfan….lol…woke up feeling depressed because of Iranian election…SP and all other things too terrible to mention. Your joke made me chuckle…thankyou.

Did anyone watch Letterman last night? I fell asleep early (for me).
possum wrote: Sadly, she will never realize how she brought this on herself and on her family, will she?
-No, she won’t ever see it. Nor will she see why people hate her for all that anti-black, Obama is a terrorist who needs to be killed or Letterman is a sexual pervert who supports “child rape” chatter.
She is a vile creature and we can expect nothing but the worst from her. She is too stupid to play a hand even when she has one. I hope she runs in 2012 so I can watch the GOP squash her like a bug. But I hope she doesn’t run in 2012 because she will create more hate and violence and we will see even more dead cops, Tillers and Holocause guards.
And amidst the caterwauling, Levi Johnston has somehow emerged as the voice of reason. And Mario Lopez the best interviewer – sure sign of the coming Apocalypse.
Love the opening sentence UK Lady. “Alaska’s Governess Sarah Palin took her David Letterman Is A Pervert Media Tour to NBC and CNN on Friday.”
And the voice of reason, now we know why they hate him so much,
Lopez asked Johnston if he thought David Letterman’s joke crossed the line. “I think he might have alittle bit,” Bristol’s baby daddy said. “I don’t think he meant to hurt anybody. He’s a comedian – that’s what he does. People are going to make jokes.”
Hmmm, jokes. Oh, yeah, that’s what Letterman does, makes jokes. Who knew?
Tourist survives night ride on side of Australian train
Chad Vance, 19, from Alaska was travelling on the legendary Ghan train from Adelaide to Alice Springs when a late return to the station during a scheduled stop threatened to leave him stranded hundreds of miles from his destination.
He chased the train as it pulled away then clambered up the side of the tain and squeezed into a tiny stairwell between carriages.
The train had gone over 120 miles before a Ghan crew member heard the Alaskan student’s cries for help and brought the train to an emergency halt, rescuing Mr Vance from almost certain death

Thanks for that clip Paula, WOW! Olbermann really doesn’t like Palin at all. Tee Hee
Highly recommended viewing for those who haven’t seen the link Paula has posted @38. Olbermann’s opening list of adjectives describing Palin needs to be put on the back of a tshirt with “Stop Palin” underneath .
Per Olbermann: Sanctimonious, Holier Than Thou, Undignified, Exploitative, Pedantic, Childish, Self-inflating, Insipid, Backwards, Embarrassing, Overreactive and Over reaching and Yammering.
Yup – that’s a pretty good start !

Olbermann is so good. He tore Palin to shreds. I think she lost this one bigtime and Letterman, funny, he said he thinks everything is okay now because Palin called and invited him to go hunting with her!
I wish I could find the Bill Mahr (sp? I can never spell his name right)… his clips on the topic. I used to watch his show online, now they don’t post them. I don’t have cable, so can no longer watch. Bill is my #1 fav on all topics. Talk about not holding back!

Paula “If she gets knocked up before 18 I will just DIE laughing.”
I don’t see how she is going to escape the Palin, “Woman”, tradition of getting KNOCKED UP before marriage. Especially with the anti set so high for drama and lack of parenting in that house. Willow, is going to act out. The limited education of this gene pool, not as if the girl will rebel by going to an Ivy League college.
Hope she proves to be an exception….first detail of respect is dressing appropriately. She needs to lose the short shorts in public.
That brain looks like a type of mushroom. Like the saying, “there’s a fungus amongus”.
Decided I’d pontificate once more on Palin/Letterman issue. Yes, it is unusual that Todd Palin and Sarah both mentioned their their daughter is 14 years old. How can they both overlook her exact age? What parent would misquote their daughter’s age? If her birthdate is correct according to media records, then she would be 1and a half year older; that would indicate a dangerous couple that would say anything to misalign evidence just to get sympathy and people on their side. What other things would they lie about?
Sound like a candidate that anyone would want on that 3:00 am watch? This is a joke, right?

Paula; sorry, but after years of having difficulty with my eyes, I’ve prayed for protection in the christian tradition, and I have faith to believe that my prayers were answered.
I don’t know if this has already been linked, but this article says it all:
http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Letterman-Joke-decepti-by-Stephen-Crockett-090612-453.html I’d love to see this article showing up everywhere….
Hey, Paula; In re. my post #57 to you; I hope you didn’t think I was offended; no, your comment had reminded me of a long time ago, when I did have some people pray for me, for my eyes. Not that I’m any more special than anyone else, or more worthy, just to say I really needed to depend on a higher power, and the notion of SP trying to squelch anyone from finding out the truth……sigh. Anyway, you are all great people, mudpups.
Sarah Palin is the subject of a question on NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.
Not offended Rebekkah, honestly I cannot even recall what I said! Anyway, good for your eyes. I have a son who is totally blind (not even shadows), so know all about the eye stuff!
I was reading Progressive AK, a little blurb from Begich…got me to questioning if all the oil pollution diminished (even more) the fishing industry up there, and the natives were starving (once again), and the employment dried up…would palin hesitate to help with state money or ask the government for aid? as long as she could hunt moose and live in that big house and rub elbows with big oil (collecting her kickback), I don’t think she would even care in the slightest… seems to me, she wants to get back to a time (the old west) when there was no law and order, no ‘big’ government, and everyone had to learn to shoot a gun! who’s the sheriff (palin)??? reminds me of Gunsmoke, the TV show…thanks, but no thanks!
Thanks lower 48, I had not read that one, worth a few minutes to do so:
“The Palin-type of extreme political rhetoric from the Republican Right has been feeding a growing domestic terrorist problem in America.”
In a nutshell!
Comment #1 If Willow was born in July of 1994 (one source I saw says), then she is still 14. I’d hate to think GINO would lie about something so easily checkable. Let me rephrase. I wouldn’t put it past her, but it seems a petty thing. And it overlooks the bigger Lie which GINO is hawking: that Dave was not talking about a Palin girl getting knocked up in reference to the Palin girl in the news who had, in fact, gotten knocked up, possibly twice, but of course the poor innocent child Willow, which makes Dave the scum of the earth because how DARE he make jokes about underage children?? Even though the joke is really about Elliot Spitzer, Alex Rodree-whatever (Doesn’t GINO know to pronounce Hispanic names?) and Sarah, but again, that’s beside the point, too. Furthermore, whether or not Willow was actually spotted at the game or not is beside the point too, so I wish people would stop trying to claim she wasn’t there. If she wasn’t, it’s just one more SP lie, and if she was, well, whatever. I haven’t seen any footage of her, so her presence must not have been all that note-worthy. Either way, the “fact” that it was Willow at the game (says SP) is not proof that Dave was referring to HER and not the in-the-news knocked up daughter. Whatever, SP. I love Dave waaaay more than you and totally love the way he “apologized” to you. Ha! Loved that he affirmed the slutty flight attendant joke too. Proof of his joke is that you felt the need to “marm down” your look. Like we don’t know exactly what you are trying to do.
Comment #2 You all beat me to it, but when I saw the “brain” my immediate response was “Oh, let’s not disparage flight attendants”…LOL… no, my immediate reaction was “Well, that sure explains what’s happened to GINO; no wonder she acts like she’s scattered and addled and out of touch with reality–the woman lost her mind out on the trail while jogging!!
Todd Palin and Sarah both mentioned their their daughter is 14 years old. How can they both overlook her exact age? What parent would misquote their daughter’s age? If her birthdate is correct according to media records, then she would be 1and a half year older; that would indicate a dangerous couple that would say anything to misalign evidence just to get sympathy and people on their side. What other things would they lie about?
———
somebody posted the birth announcement from the newspaper – showing Willow as born on July 7, 1914. That would make her still 14 for a couple more weeks.
Willow Bianca Faye Palin was born July 7, 1994 at 7 lbs., 12 oz.
(Anchorage Daily News (AK), 7/25/94)
Of course, as with anything Palin, the information out there is confusing and difficult to obtain… I have no idea where the January 21 date came from, as reported on most websites…
If the above July date is correct, Willow is about 3 weeks away from her 15th birthday.
http://palingates.blogspot.com/
I’ll say it again. Can we get Sarah to do a dunktank in the park strip in Anchorage? She has the publicity to get the tourists here. At $5 bucks a pop, we could cover the perdiem she has accrued. Come on Sarah earn yer keep!!

I just sent my note off. I don’t watch TV and Letterman’s humor has never been my style (but I saw the clips.) He said it and he apologized. Should have been finished.
I’d like to see DL take a minute and say, “I should have taken a tip from President Obama and left Palin’s kid out of it.” Because no MSM is holding up the fact that Obama was talking about “HER KIDS” when he said leave the kids out of it.” Besides, (being snarky for a minute) it would just fry her ….ss to have than pointed out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yk2snZPsjk&feature=channel_page
Redwoodmuse; Right. I read a few blog sites that had posted Willow’s birthdate as Jan 21, 1994, so I assumed that was correct. If it’s July 7, then she would be 14. Why though, is it so difficult to get a consistent birthdate these days?

Another good article on Kos
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/6/13/742011/-Fatal-Attraction-starring-Sarah-Palin-amd-Todd-Palin-in-a-Minor-Role
Just watched the Oreilly/Joan Walsh discussion(?) if you can call it that. He is a bully. He pushes everything to a personal level and bounces around like Palin. He puts out a different level of “word salad” but it’s “word salad” just the same. Love that term!
But my focus is a statement made in the comments. Fetus’s do not have any rights under our constitution until they are born. Basically from conception till age maturity, which differs across different states. The mother is responsible.
So why the concern? Women’s rights plain and simple. My favorite statement is that if men could have babies, abortion would be a sacrament. But I’m pretty sick of it all. the screamers, ranters, bullies, etc. We need to stand strong and firm in who we are and what we believe for women’s rights (and everyone’s rights) in a humane and compassionate manner–and stop the screaming, bullying, abusiveness, and the killing. Period.
Women have come a long way and not come a long way. The conservative right uses every trick they can to get what they want. Sick mouthpieces all of them. It’s a draw for power and fame, be it 15 minutes or 15 years.
At the end of this clip, OR stops everything and turns next to Palin. I’m rambling, but this brings me to my AKM open comment response: The iceberg. What is Alaska’s biggest iceberg? What do you see minimally on the surface with the greatest depths below — the Exxon oil spill. I think AKM hits the nail on the head in her short story. The story bothers me, but it is so true. It expresses a strong opinion held by many, both in AK and here in the lower 48. Dealing with Exxon IS like sleeping with the devil.
I think this the iceberg. SP is the distraction like all the noise that has been put out by conservatives over the years. I reread stories about the oil spill and the cleanup and the scars that are still there. As long as we weep and wail over SP and her outrageous behaviors, the “fishpicker” and the “fishpicker’s” wife and family, we lose. But at the same time, I think we need to continue to call her and her ilk down at every chance.
Whether it’s oil energy, gas energy, wind, or solar, SP isn’t much of an expert. but she has a lot of mouth and hollers “word salad” just like oreilly. Do they have a special class/seminar on how to “shout out”.
I think this deal has been in the works for a long, long time. Maybe just as long as the court case over the oil spill. My experience with upper level managers down here tells me that. Is Sarah just the mouthpiece/distraction to keep everyone busy while the details are ironed out. People like her are very easy to read and so easy to manipulate.
I think it is now very important to really look at energy issues. Read and reread the details of this deal, the history, and look at whose involved. Is it really so viable or are there other, safer options. If Exxon or any other company has invested billions in the oil fields, they just don’t want to walk away and lose that money. If a gas pipeline is built and incurs many losses over time, its building, existence, and then abandonment makes more economic business logic in an annual financial report.
But who pays? I have read (don’t remember where) that a lot the oil from Alaska and now the gas will go to the far east. Lower 48 won’t get anything. Alaska may get money back annually, but the irony is the cost of fuel.
Sorry to ramble on. I would like to visit Alaska someday and see its beauty, not the scars. Please keep an eye on this deal. .
We, down here in the lower 48, and you in Alaska, need to focus on the real needs, healthcare, children, education, and keeping the environment from tragic accidents. Shannyn made a very succinct comment: Hate is the antichrist. We need to work against hatred at every level.
Keep up the work Alaska bloggers. Keep the focus in the right direction and keep the heat on. I can’t seem to post to Immoral Minority, so I am posting here in reply to a couple of topics. Thanks for all the intense investigation and postings from all of you.
Thank you Crystalwolf, that’s exactly what I was looking for. And leave it to Bill to make a “Like Daves is going to F Willow right there on his show?” comment. Palin has opened the door for every late night comic to mash, bash and scatter her and all the girls by her sexual pervert rape stunt.
Someone here gave a link to a story the LA Times did and they completely
‘ trashed ‘ Letterman. I don’t remember the day or headline now. They used Faux News and Todds comments as the truth and just continued the lies.
I sent an email to their paper totally asking them if they even saw Daves show before they even wrote the story because what they ‘reported’ as the News, never happened. I asked them directly..” Did you watch the Show?”
I pointed out at least 5 huge errors with their reporting and questioned their credibility and journalistic integrity as well in my email.
This was how the paper responded to my points and questions…
——————————————————
What reference or story published in the Los Angeles Times are you referring to? I see only a story that reflects about the show what you yourself are saying.

I replied again and asked a ‘simple’ question. How many stories did you publish? Of course there was only ONE story so the turd had to know which one I was talking about. Can we assume the LA Times is owned by Murdoch… I am guessing. You can probably find the story if you look it up. It was totally bad and using Fox as a source…. Pleeeezzzz. as I pointed out to him… You realize they just ‘ make stuff up’..?
10cats4me. Thankyou for that we do what we can up here. Now if we could just get the GINO to drop her pallin around and do a dunktank we could actually see some money.
Interesting how she tried to look like a prim school teacher in the interviews about Letterman – NOT! Look at the hair (OMG awful), the dark clothes, and don’t forget to notice the ever present sneer. Where are the streaked hair extensions, red shoes & toenail decals which she was so proud of just a day or two before?
She couldn’t possibly show up to the interviews displaying the “look” that attracted the first Letterman joke – I’m surprised she didn’t dress Willow in a Little House on the Prairie dress, bonnet and maybe a binkie to drag on stage with her to show just how dastardly and awful David Letterman’s joke was. It’s her style – smoke and mirrors. She’s stuck with it – and people are fast catching on to her game. She doesn’t have many options except to keep throwing fireballs. It’s who she is, and it’s beginning to wear on people who previously ignored her.
Twenty bucks says she’d show up at the dunking booth in bathing suit and red high heels with sash and crown.

AKM, that’s Sarah’s brain. Not only is it teeny tiny, but she’s lost it.
Palin needs to be reminded of her own advice:
http://sarahpalinexposed.com/?p=61
I stumbled upon some more news about the Palin/Lettermen fued yesterday. This article explores Palin’s political actions/lack of action in regard to under-funding public safety. House Finance Co-Chair Mike Hawker, R-Alaska has a few things to say about Palin. Maybe this has already been posted…sorry if this is a repeat but I found this article very insightful and just had to share.
I can’t believe Palin can even suggest that Lettermen appologize to ALL women when it seems she should be appologizing to all the women and families of Alaska for her lack of public safety funding to help victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, especially in rural AK!
So what do people think of Mike Hawker? From what I have read from time to time, he seems like a pretty level headed guy.
Anyway, here’s a link to the story with a few lines of the article copied and pasted below.
http://www.ktva.com/ci_12581858
…”On NBC’s Today Show Palin said, “I would like to see him (Letterman) apologize to young women across the country for contributing to that thread that runs through our culture that makes it sound like it’s OK, accepted and funny to talk about statutory rape. It’s not cool. It’s not funny.”
One powerful state lawmaker, however, says Palin is doing a bad job funding sexual exploitation solutions.
House Finance Co-Chair Mike Hawker, R-Alaska, is highlighting the fact Alaska has the nation’s highest domestic violence and sexual assault rates, and says the governor is under-funding public safety.
Hawker’s accusations sound very similar to those made during Troopergate. He says Palin’s bad family-Public Safety Department relationship is playing out with the governor poorly funding that department, including efforts to fight sexual assault…..”
Sauerkraut, I think this is a closer representation of Todd.

Enjoyed this comment by a poster on another site:
“She brought this situation on herself by taking every chance to promote her reality show, Sarah & Todd Plus 5.”
SystemBucker, well in Palains delusional world no one unmarried has sex, people who are raped are blessed by God with babies they should want and her daughter wasn’t knocked up via screwing, merely via a mysterious mistake by her bizaar God (oops).

Olbermanns countdown, featuring -once again, Palin on Dave the pervert
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/
____________________________________________
Yes, Olberman at his best; however, I find it really sad that he spent more than 12 minutes rehashing old news about the Palins while spending just a little over 5 minutes on the Iran election.
TBNT Judy, Palin would have it no other way, she loves being the center of attention, anywhere, anyhow.
The burger king crown… must we now desecrate fast food?
HAHA….even Sully is weighing in now.
So brandishing a special needs infant as a campaign prop was putting your family off-limits. pushing your own daughter into the klieglights to divert attention from your own fantastic lies is family-protective? Pushing Bristol Palin into an absurd abstinence campaign to gin up support from the Christianist right is looking after your kids? Palin reaps what she sows. And she clings to any whisp of victimhood like the attention-starved celebreality star she really is.

Time to back Dave up again, i try to send at least one comment of support daily, only takes a second:
http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.php
____
DONE! I hope everyone takes a minute to do this b/c you KNOW that GINO’s small but shrill fanbase is burning up their comment lines.
Palin, claimed FAKEY FAKEY outrage over the EPIC FAILURE book, Trailblazer yet admits it was written with direct quotes from kin AND after release Palin, still went to people Magazine with 6 exclusives about private life although author of TrailBlazer is a people Mag editor.
Palin has ABSOLUTELY NO RELATIONSHIPS of TRUST or RESPECT, even with her own husband.
Sarah kept mum about the pregnancy until October, Todd had figured it out but was discreet enough not to say a word. (Chapter 13, pg. 181) TrailBlazer
Now that whole sentence simply does not sit right with me. What kind of a relationship do Todd and Sarah have where he believes she may be pregnant with his fifth child but is reticent to mention it to her, and she knows she is pregnant with a baby but does not feel it necessary to clue her husband of twenty years in on the life altering news? I have never heard of such a thing.
Unless your marriage is in serious trouble, or you are having an affair, why wouldn’t you tell your husband as soon as you began to suspect that you were having a child?
The WaPo in favor of Letterman – a good read. I especially like the Faux Feminist charge. I mean AS IF she could ever be a feminist?!! That’s the whole silly part about the Palinbots claiming victory with NOW. NOW = KEEP ABORTION LEGAL
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/12/AR2009061203849.html
I was just reading through the Team Sarah websight (you have to lie to them to get approved to view their website) and saw they are planning of picketing outside of the Sulivan Theater where Letterman is taped from 4:30 to 6:00 Monday. They are calling in all their troops wthin a 4 mile drive to come and joint them for this event. O course you proberly already know, they have been sending e-mails, leaving comments on CBS website, and any thing else they can think of to get their message accross to anyone who may be responsible on getting Letterman fired. They are all fired up and sound like a bunch of right wing radicals who are trying to blame the the liberals for Letterman jokes. It is an education just to visit their site to see how radical these people are. And these are Palin’s follower’s?
I saw this joke while researching Palin jokes for a compilation I am sending friends, I thought AKM might like it:
“She said at her church, Governor Palin, said she asked everyone to pray for a natural gas pipeline, which she said was God’s will. And today, God said, ‘Hey lady, I don’t deal with oil companies. That’s more Satan’s area.’” –Jay Leno
I think KO filled in on DL when McCain stood DL up. KO didn’t seem to like Hillary Clinton much, but I think HRC is doing a pretty good job considering how she got an f’d up situation from the pervious bozo admin.
Does anyone else think the 2000 election has given rise to disputed elections around the world? Zimbabwe and now Iran come to mind off the top of my head.
My take from lower 48 which is likely typical.
Dave’s slutty joke … chuckle
Knocked-up joke … chuckle, nasty hillbilly joke, but worth a chuckle
Palin’s reaction…. roll eyes, who cares?
TV coverage …. not interested, turn channel
Water cooler talk…. none, no one is interested in story
How could CBS not back Letterman? This is the most lame faux outrage of the year.
Did the Governor announce she is on vacation? Or what is her official business with the Texas elite? Is it a coincidence that it is the Texas elite that are stirring the pot to take CBS to task? What a set up.
I was crossing my fingers that Megan McCain might come out with something in the normal range, but alas, she supports the raping 14 year old point of view. Ho, hum.

Redwoodmuse; Right. I read a few blog sites that had posted Willow’s birthdate as Jan 21, 1994, so I assumed that was correct. If it’s July 7, then she would be 14. Why though, is it so difficult to get a consistent birthdate these days?
__________________________________
Even if the January date is correct, that means she turned 15 in Jan. 2009. I don’t know where people are getting 1 1/2 years out of this.
Sorry Paula. Did not know fast food was a touchy subject.I should not associate the king with such sordid matters.
Well, AKM, we all knew that Ms. Grifter had lost her mind BUT you weren’t supposed to find it for her!

________________________________________
Yeah, I get that, Paula, but SP doesn’t run Keith’s show; he does. Why he would choose to waste so much time on old, faux news, as opposed to real news like the story in Iran, is beyond me. I have been trying to find a link to comments on that story so I can tell him what I think. At any rate, keeping the controversy alive is exactly what SP wants, and I think KO would do well to let it drop. Letterman has already moved on, at least for the time being. Someone, somewhere around here on the ‘flats, said that he would revisit it in the future…basically, drip, drip, drip. I like that approach…those sharp little digs like elbows…reminds me of someone…
I watched Letterman last night and he did revisit it–referenced it in an “unconscious” way in a film clip. Sandra Bullock was his guest; she is promoting THE PROPOSAL, a romantic comedy set in Alaska (opening in the next week). They showed a clip with Betty White from THE PROPOSAL, in her 80′s, who made a humorous comment with the term “knocked up” in it in the scene.
EVERYONE laughed. Wink, wink.
TBNTJudy “Even if the January date is correct, that means she turned 15 in Jan. 2009. I don’t know where people are getting 1 1/2 years out of this.”
Bad math. I messed up also too. Actually being 15 would be the cats meow. Almost 15, the way Palin stresses 14, is as if after 14 her girls are women, lots of fodder there.
With all this Sarah Palin negative energy around us…..
I hope AKM can get some new photos of Brenda and the Twins… how are they doing??? Are they still around? (Enquiring Minds want to Know )

LOL! I missed that, but there is that drip, drip, drip. Good for Dave.
TBNT Judy; I don’t know where I got 1 and a half years either. DOH! I meant half a year.
Well – This sucks big time. A local jeweler has filed a complaint with the F.C.C. about Dave. Over the years , I have bought 2 Tag-Heuer watches from Russell. I called and could not get him to the phone , but repeated my name 3 times to the lady so she could look me up in the computer and make sure I wasn’t some goose calling to rattle their cage. I was crystal clear that I will never spend a penny there again.

———Just a guess, friends with Letterman? Plus, KO always likes to cover the right wingnuts and blast them with his great rebuttals. Honestly, in todays world, most people would rather watch Keith rebuke Palin that talk Iran. Better website clips, more views, etc.
drip, drip, drip, the more the wingnuts howl and cry pedophile, rape, the better Dave looks. He should have some good fotter when they march on the studio, too. Sometimes I really wish I had cable
From that WaPo piece:
“Okay, Matt, I would say that you and anybody else are extremely naïve to believe that very convenient excuse of David Letterman’s,” Palin snapped back at Lauer. “It took a couple of days for him to think of that excuse that, Oh no! — he wasn’t talking about my daughter who was there with me he was talking about some other daughter!” Palin said, apparently forgetting, momentarily, daughter Bristol’s name.
Then she packed her bag and took her David Letterman’s a Pervert Tour to CNN, where she tried it out on Wolf Blitzer, on “The Situation Room.”
“[Letterman] said he made a mistake,” Blitzer began. “He said, ‘Yeah, it was probably in bad taste.’ Are you willing to forgive and forget?”
“I will always forgive whomever is asking for forgiveness,” Palin said, before tearing into Letterman again:
SNIP….
Blitzer, like Lauer before him, tried to get Palin to acknowledge that Letterman had gone on national TV to say the joke was a reference to the 18-year-old daughter whom Palin did not name, and who, like Palin says, has a “young family.”
——-
Compare and contrast, using her own words…
austinTX, the guy peddles blood diamonds for a living, doesn’t even count in my books as worthy of anything. Be sure to let him know you’ll be shopping elseware.
Party moose pics pretty please.
TV to say the joke was a reference to the 18-year-old daughter whom Palin did not name, and who, like Palin
-got knocked up.
Here’s something I found sad but truly interesting. A statement from the CEO of the IGHL, who you would think would research their keynote speaker/participant as to their advocacy work and being a political figure, their actual policies on the disabled before picking them. Seems they too operate with a clouded agenda, much the same as the hollow sound of Candie’s Foundation/Candie’s Corporate.
IMO it puts their credibility into question as to their intent to actually help these kids and adults. Would make me want to have their books checked for what these funds are used for when you have comments from a CEO like this. Gives me that creepy feeling once more of a charity raising funds which actually is for their personal use providing a minimal amount in order to keep their tax exemption. (This is my opinion which may be wrong but statements like this have a habit of bad taste being left behind).
“We need people out there to talk for us,” said Walter W. Stockton, IGHL’s chief executive officer. “She represents hope to all those families who also have the burden of taking care of their special needs children.”
Although Stockton can’t say what type of advocacy work Palin has done on behalf developmentally disabled children, he said her popularity and high-profile status makes her an effective spokeswoman for the group and that’s why Palin was chosen as this year’s honoree.

Gov. and Mr. Palin: Where was the outrage for Piper after this joke?
Oops I forgot the second part of my comment.
I am quite convinced that the remark about the “slutty flight attendant look” cut GINO to the quick. I am convinced that that is the underlying reason for this vituperative attack on DL. None of the other jokes about her daughters has elicited ANY response. It’s just a curious coincidence. I think the aging beauty queen who is not aging gracefully and is obviously in competition with her very pretty daughters is extremely sensitive about her looks – that narcissistic thing doncha know.
@LiladyNY, your comment once again brings me back to Palin and “Follow the Fashion” as one of her Achilles’ heels.
Seriously, who would EVER elect this woman again? All her “enemies” have to do is challenge her appearance and she goes off the deep end…(Take note, Romney, Huckabee, Jindal, Sanford…)
Paula said: “Honestly, in todays world, most people would rather watch Keith rebuke Palin that talk Iran. Better website clips, more views, etc.”
___________________________________
I think you have nailed it, Paula, and this REALLY makes me sad, because the election-news story in Iran is about, among other things, women’s rights. The moderates there seem to be making inroads; over here, we have to listen to some right-wing, religious-fundamentalist whacko (SP) invent faux stories about the abuse of her daughter and, just to be inclusive, all the other women in this country by a retarded joke of DL’s. She is trying to take us back to the dark ages which is exactly what the fundies want. Nauseating.
“families who also have the burden of taking care of their special needs children”
BURDEN?
Hmmm, my kids, “disabled” and otherwise we’re never a BURDEN.
“I think the aging beauty queen who is not aging gracefully and is obviously in competition with her very pretty daughters is extremely sensitive about her looks …”
Keep fake tanning Sarah, speed up the aging process for us
TBNT, as a child I recall staying up and watching the 11 o’clock news with grandpa (a real bore, but allowed up after 11, worth it). Anyway, they used to just “do” news reporting, now we discuss, argue, fight, etc. I think it’s that way across the board. We like to be entertained, most people don’t really want to learn or know… that’s why places like Faux oise are listened to, their viewers don’t need to do research, read, check sources, etc. But by watching the drama, their blood pressure goes up all that crap. I think we lefties enjoy a little of it, too! That’s why I don’t have cable, I’d get glued (like I have been online today).
According to pic # 14, “The governor left in the sixth inning before all the excitement.” Seems they weren’t even there for the 7th inning stretch!!!

With Palin, you get it all the drama of trash with a sprinkle of politics. She is the ultimate distraction for what is really going on. War mongers LOVE HER, they get away with murder and nobody is watching.

Then really, what is she bi’ching about, lol.
There is video, somewhere that shows Willow, from behind walking. Her shorts kept riding up her backside.
That is the outfit she wore to the Charity event later in the day, right? Very trashy. Maybe to the lake or something but not one other shown at the Walk For Autism, was dressed with short short cut offs. Disrespectful.
Well said, Isabella!! Now, to change to a much more pleasant subject, I went to the Netroots site to check on the competition and AKM is no longer on the site! I can only assume from that, that she won the #1 position in the second round, hands down. Have you heard anything, AKM?? Let us know as soon as possible so we can raise the money to get you there etc. Hugs!!
Can anyone tell me what “forthcoming radio actualities” are? GINO tweeted about them.
Tweet salad?
Isabella, I referred to your post #124. Now, pretty please can we all stop talking about what SP would like us to talk about and get back to close examination of this gasline deal and other stuff she is attempting to hide with this David Letterman rant. I Don’t watch Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos for the same reason I really, really hate this non-issue. Irrelevant drivel!!
Gramiam,
When you go to the Democracy for America site and are on the Netroots page, click on the # of supports at the Sort By. AKM is there, still in the lead at 432. The number 2 spot is at 118
The gasline:
1st- I thought the country was going green w/ wind and solar
2nd-How many years will it take to get this job done? I mean, around here they’ve been planning the same much needed 300 million bypass for more than 30 years… gasline? Actual gas?
3rd- Isn’t this whole “partnership” a playing the fiddle to the base on a project -that even if completed won’t be done for 10-20 years?
Thanks, Canadian Neighbor. I had the page saved and then it dasappeared. We must be getting close to the cutoff though, huh?

Thanks for the link. Most of the comments there are saying they will never shop there again. And even comment they are not DL fans. Just on the principle of it. I think he will lose a LOT of business over this. Being from Texas… I wonder if he has contributed to the Dobson Family causes…? Hmmm…
In his story, He is quoted as saying Dave is based in NY , the NY Yankees are in NY, and so would know exactly (all the details )who was at the game and which daughter etc…
One comment posted this info.
June 12, 2009 5:17 PM |
Letterman’s show is taped at 5:30 PM. The Yankees played at 7:05 PM. Are we really faulting Dave for not knowing that Willow, not Bristol, was planning to attend the game 95 minutes later.
And if the taping is at 5:30 the jokes are put together by their writers hours before and discussed to see which make the final cut. (probably that Morning ) and then go to the cue cards. The logic of the Palin Fans sometime leave out the logical facts. Say it loud and fast and hopefully no one will dispute it.
I tried to post a comment. It didn’t show. It had no comments from today and stayed at 72. I was going to post the Conan jokes and point out the numerous times Conan used Bristol in jokes.
Paula,
Go to the transcanada.com site and look at the Alaska project status and timelines
http://www.transcanada.com/company/alaska_pipeline_project.html
They also have a place under Project Materials you can look at maps to see the diagram as to where this pipeline is supposed to be build from Alaska through Canada to hook up to the pipelines into the lower 48
At the moment, there is a glut of Natural gas already available in the lower 48. This was pointed out to GINO, but ,ever the optimist, she claimed that we would “grow” the usage by 40% in 10 years. Judging from her grasp of statistics in other issues, I’d have to question that.
Gramian,
June 15th is deadline for submissions for their third round so this round is over Sunday or Monday.
She’s doing political posturing, it’s not her 500 bazillion dollars. We know spending the money of others doesn’t bother her one bit.
Gramiam “At the moment, there is a glut of Natural gas already available in the lower 48. This was pointed out to GINO, but ,ever the optimist, she claimed that we would “grow” the usage by 40% in 10 years”

Right, Gramiam, that is my understanding; plus, I question her numbers, too. However, if it is true that the Obama administration has been frustrated at the lack of progress on the pipeline issue, then perhaps there is some validity to her prediction?

Poor old Sadie ain’t no lady. I think the big to-do with Letterman boils down to one of resentment. Resentment that she has an attractive offspring who just makes the faded, jaded beauty “princess’ (albeit a runner-up only) look a tad weathered and who is garnering a little more attention than old Mrs. “Look At Me! Pay attention to Me! Me! Me! Me!”"
2 workers on the North Slope, have Swine Flu. One poor fellow, now back in Texas also has a staff infection (Reportedly common w/flu). He had a heart attack yesterday, revival efforts 15 minutes, currently in a coma.

Isabella,
To bring you up to date on Six Flags, they have since filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
I have been wondering about SP’s flip flopping on the oil-company issues. First, she tried to cut them out of the pipeline process; then she turned around and got into bed with XOM. I have two ideas on the subject: (1) Her plan backfired because she didn’t realize she cannot get the job done without them, or (2) This was her plan all along. She wanted to look like she was standing up to Big Oil for Alaskans, but really, she knew that eventually she would be in bed with them…probably happily. Big Oil has deep pockets, but I wonder if they would support her in a bid for the WH. I’m sure there probably are numbers 3, 4, and more, that I haven’t thought of.
Where was Sarah’s outrage at the exploitation of women when Eddie Burke was calling them “socialist baby-killing maggots”? She had none for those women because Eddie is a fan and supporter of hers. Where was her outrage when Bob & Mark were laughing about a cancer survivor calling her “a b*tch, a cancer and asking if she even liked her own children”? Oh she was on air with them laughing along. Where was the outrage when SNL suggested that Todd had sex with his own daughters? She was too busy planning her own appearance on the show in the hopes it would help her image.
Does her concern for other women only appear when she feels it might somehow work to her advantage? It would seem so.
@Eye on You. well said! Exactly. Palin is a total hypocrite when it comes to treatment of women.
134 honestyinGov – Paula brought up a good point about “blood diamonds”. I mean , if Mr. Korman wants to be all PC and s^*t , maybe we should ask him where his diamonds come from. I drive by 38th and Lamar daily. I’m going to be sure and honk my horn and spit out my window.
Palin mentioned about raping? a 14 y.o., did she remind everyone she made rape victims pay for their own rape kits before it became the press found out.
Palin twittered that Chris Minard wins Stanley Cup. Aces produce winners. I’m sure that Chris is a good hockey player. Making it to the NHL is quite an accomplishment. Chris was never drafted, but nevertheless made it. Chris was picked up by the winner’s of this year’s Stanley Cup, The Pittsburg Penguins, in 08. While he played in just 20 games this season and never dressed for the playoffs, I’m sure that he was a proud cheerleader. Unfortunately for Chris, his name will not be on the cup. There are qualifications that one must meet to have that honor, and Chris did not meet them. I’m sure that his contribution to the team this year gives him bragging rights, and rightly so, but he did not win the cup, as Sarah states. As usual Sarah throws statements out there without fact checking. Congratulations to the Pittsburg Penguins, this year’s Stanley Cup champs. And it’s a sad day in Hockeytown, Detroit.
M. Bergert @ 153
The shame of publicity didn’t stop the practice – it took the legislature outlawing the charges to victims to stop them in Wasilla.
pvazwindy “Palin twittered that Chris Minard wins Stanley Cup.”
The randomness of what she Twits is funny. The way she words is embarrassing. Weren’t her parents teachers or something?
Palin also owes gov. Sanford, some King Salmon. Her losing bet on the Aces as Carolina wins the Kelly Cup. As you can tell, Palin pisses me off. Hockey mom, my ass. She doesn’t know duck squat about hockey. Doe’s she know anything, about anything.
Short, nothing to do with Palin rant:
Geting ready to go to bridal shower and am getting madder every moment closer it gets. In a nutshell:
Friend practically begs for show. I plan one -a “jack and jill” at our place. Spend fortune on flowers, yard etc (always a good excuse to get things done).
Last week friends best friend (who was supposed to get the two to party) told said friend about shower. The 2 of them decided to change the plans, have shower at shoerees house (too weird).
Now I have to go to shower at showerees house, bring food, gifts, etc. and either show up and be nice or be that person who causes the prewedding showdown.
Having hard time putting smile on and happy attitude.
How rude is that? And, I tell ya, I don’t have one of those “gag if you eat there” houses, it’s nothing like that. Anyway…fuming…had to buy plates, napkins, chips, etc…at store and feeling pretty damned angry.
So GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR. Thanks for letting me vent.
@UK Lady: You have probably gone to bed, but maybe you will see this when you get up. I finally got around to listening to some Amy Winehouse, and, wow! I get why you like her. I was judging a book by its cover (never a good thing, IMO), and I just assumed she was some sort of punk rocker. Thank you for steering me in her direction.
Plus, I have gotten hooked on a BBC series “MI5.” Are you familiar with it?
Paula, you should of made the one who change the “program” pay for all the stuff!
I would show up, and then have to leave due to a “family emergency” :-O
Paula, unless you are going to have to live with either one of these ingrates for the next 40 years, I’d drop off the chips and dip to a shelter where they will be appreciated, drive to a fav restaurant, eat leisurely and have two desserts.
TBNTJudy ‘ finally got around to listening to some Amy Winehouse, and, wow! I get why you like her.”
Do not Google pictures of her then cause what she has been up to the past 6 months (Especially paparazzi pics of her in St. Lucia this week) will break the magic.

True that !! She’s tryin’ to give Keith Richards a run for the money. When she first burst on the scene , she was a stone cold fox. Crack and booze have destroyed her looks. Picked up a bunch of tatoos along the way also.too.
Well, Kevin (my hubby) is skipping out due (lierally) to kindney stones.
I am going but not for the girls night at the bar thing.
I think they were kind of pissed that my husband didn’t want to go to strip clubs with the guys anyway. The groom is 50, my hubby thought that was a bit old to be doing the strip club round, so anyway, whatever.
I have to work with the witch sometimes, so have to keep some nice vibes…ugh.
Jack and Jill is when you have a party for both bride and groom. Since they’re 40 and 50 they don’t need a toaster, so the gifts will be lighter, some gag stuff, etc. A couples party.
Yeah, the dork having her own shower is now in a tizzy cleaning, and no, I didn’t volunteer to buy the booze when she started crying “Well, I don’t really have the money but I guess I should buy some beer and wine coolers.”
Silence. In my head, yeah, too bad ya boner, I woulda bought the booze.
A lot of people have canceled, so serves her right.
TBNT Judy glad you liked the music, hopefully Whinehouse is working on getting herself together and making her 3rd album. Eagerly awaited. I think she is trying hard to get her act together and from what I hear she is helping and financing young musicians in St. Lucia.

Isabella and austintx, Those pictures are why I never listened to her before. I didn’t know she had a good voice. Maybe the crack and booze have ruined her voice too. Very sad.
Tigerwine and Isabella, maybe a “Jack and Jill” refers to a coed shower?
Canceled, including my daughter, who was supposed to bring the cake. I just a baked a box one w/ sprinkles. Figured, why buy a $50 cake?
The wedding is Jult 4th, we replied for 5 of us… I feel like we have to go now, someone paid for te food… the whole thing is insane. But some people are just gimmee taker moochers and have no manners or concern for others.
Sounds like Iran is going to be in turmaoil for quite some time…
Wow, UK Lady. Thanks for the link..That is some scary stuff going on over there. I pray the moderates prevail.
austintx “Picked up a bunch of tatoos along the way also.too.”
That is not everything she, “Picked” up. There isn’t a pharmacy stocked well enough to cure her.
Back when, what an entire 2 years ago, amazing voice, gorgeous, retro look.
LMAO, did you see her on the horse with that, “Fan” holding on for dear life?
TBNTJudy “Isabella and austintx, Those pictures are why I never listened to her before. I didn’t know she had a good voice. Maybe the crack and booze have ruined her voice too. Very sad.”
Okay, then since you have seen her. You can watch her here sing, Puppylove, while in one of her “Hiatus” trips to St. Lucia and still enjoy.

Palin Accuses Letterman of Seeking PR: Then Hypocritically Skews What He Meant All Over the Media

Pretty good article, everyone pretty much see’s she’s milking this!

She harms herself, such a shame. Maybe where she is there will keep her distracted so she can get healthy. Lovely to help children. Hope she stays clean, especially around them. When she drinks, she is messed up.

She LOST it when she cried rape.
Isabella-
Yeah, people are just too rude these days, don’t rsvp, or do and don’t show up.
I hadn’t planned to do anything but she almost begged with those hint, hint, hint, winks and I thought, geez…guess I have to have a shower. Last guilt trip for me.
Yes, she totally lost it with the child rape, statatory rape, keep Willow away from Dave, sexual pervert…and going and going and going. Someone take the battery out, quick!
Amy- so much talent, reminds me of the old blues singers. Drugs can do that.
Paula “Last guilt trip for me.”
I have never been one for pandering to guilt trips. I have thrown some though
The backfire results begin to rear their ugly head (hahahahaha)

I read somewhere else (so many stories, lol) that Letterman’s show was taped that day or something, at the same time she was there so he couldn’t of even known if Willow/bristol whomever was there and that she left before the 7th inning. Also..too, I mentioned to some palinbot, not everyone in the free country follows the queen around like them and knows all her family details, so since Willow has been MIA for the past 6 mos or so, it would be reasonable for Letterman to be referring to bristol.
And of course “knocked up” Well who is the poster child for Unwed Teen pregnancy & motherhood but Bristol!!!
If the red naughty monkey fits…..!
Oh and someone, somewhere mentioned she didn’t even react to the crack “crack” Letterman made???
WTF??
Taped at 5:30, the game was at 7pm. So, the jokes were written way before any signs of daughter, which daughter, whatever. I am sure the writers knew when the words Palin-kocked up -daughter were together we’d all think of the same girl, the kncoked up one!
Levi said, not a big deal! He’s turning out okay after all!
I told my hubby we really need to go into the t-shirt bumper sticker business. How many
“My honor roll student knoked up Palins daughter” bumper stickers could we sell?
Or
“My favorite slutty flight attendant” t- shirts with shiney pump laden palin?

Have you noticed when Palin, is unleashed outside Alaska, she has about three days tops considered to be a Sweerheart….then her sound bites get passed around & her greedy media wh’re ways are unveiled she vilifies herself exploiting her kids?

It’d be fun to see her run for a few reasons-
1) Old white men abuse (if she thought Letterman was mean…)
2) Watch her lose (again, hehe)
3) Gets her out of Alaskas hair (and politics for a while)
4) Watch her lose (again, hehe)
5) Many, many more laughing jokes, clips, videos, SNL skits
6) Watch her lose (again, hehe)
For those of you are were talking about Amy Winehouse you also might want to check out another young English singer , Adele, who it has been said is the new Amy Winehouse. They did a 60 minutes story on her one time. She’s only 19
Very talented and if I remember went to one of those famous Schools to learn the craft (can’t remember which one..?)
She focuses on her singing and not all those extra-curricular activities Amy gets caught up in. Her first album was ‘”Adele 19 ”
Here’s a clip… there are plenty more of other songs on YouTube.

My father taught me, which I have found to be near absolute truth…you can judge someones true character by how they treat a child. Levi’s tenderness toward Trig, at the RNC coming out party sold me.
GA Peach, that’s a good one.

Paula,
Palin was at the Sunday afternoon game and went to the IGHL Dinner / SarahPAC that evening. Palin left the game in the 6th inning.
Letterman’s tapings are on the day of the show at 5:30. I can’t verify if his show was taped earlier but that would have made it Sunday which I doubt.

I agree certain songs strike us differently. I think the first song she did (and was popular ) was ” Chasing Pavements” and I even remember that I saw her the first time on David Letterman, making her debut I think. She ended the show and David just loved her. He gushed about how good she was.
Here is “Chasing Pavements”

Oh Lord, I don’t know where else to go with this. I just got a call from my daughter in CA. My son-in-law is in the ICU with three skull fractures, a swollen bleeding brain. He’s in critical condition, strapped down because he keeps fighting and he’s very strong. He’s not conscious. The medical folks suspect brain damage, but won’t know anything until they can stop the bleeding and get the swelling down. The drain for his head keeps clogging and they have had to replace/clear it several times. He has been there since Thursday night. He decided to take a quick ride on his new electric scooter without his helmet which was in his friend’s car who just went to get sodas for the riding around on the fair grounds. The friend came back 10 minutes later and found him. Reconstructed it looks like he fell and hit his head on old half buried railroad tracks, bounced and hit his head again on the scooter. He apparently was knocked out, got up and tried to stop the bleeding with his t-shirt then passed out and hit his head again. He’s only 33. She’s been at the hospital for two days and just got clear enough to call me. I can’t call my husband at work, not allowed. He won’t be home for another few hours. I’m up here and there isn’t anything I can do except “pray to all the gods and goddesses you know” as my daughter asked me. I just had to share with someone. He’s such a good guy and my daughter sounds numb.

Crystalwolf, Landover Baptist is a great spoof site, from which spawned Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian. Google either one for some good laughs…
UK Lady, “raw talent” is an apt description. I listened to your link as well as a number of other vids of her singing. She is on my short list must-have music. thank you again for pointing me in her direction.
((((((((((((((redwoodmuse))))))))))))))
I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Please ring your husband at work – I can’t imagine any company being so heartless that they wouldn’t know this was an emergency.
Thinking of you – so awful. xxxx
redwoodmuse, very, very, important he has the right team around him!!!
Where he is, can you check the neurologist team and hospital credentials? I do not intend to add stress to your situation, personal family experience, please discover who is treating him.
Redwood muse, this is a traumatic brain injury from the sound of it. I will dig up some info from a woman who went through this about the first hours in the hospital and how to cope. I have to do something else until 7 pm CA time but will be back.
Update: spider bite from 6/12 open thread posts:
Thanks to all for the suggestions re: what to do for that pesky spider bite of mine. Things got a bit dicey earlier today, so off to the urgent care center I went.
Definite infection now, as there is a knotty tender spot just under the bite entry area. Dr’s are hoping that something will ‘pop up’ (think pimple like thing) that will allow them, via a culture, to confirm their thought about what’s wrong with it. They don’t wnat to cut thru it just yet. Also changed medicine to clindamycin, a MRSA fighting drug.
Yup, MRSA. That really bad news superbug hitting everywhere, especially hospitals. Back to dr’s 1st thing Monday morning for a re-check of my “bullseye” – red center surrounded by circles to mark where the irritation has spread.
PS: the dr asked to use my cell phone’s camera to take pictures for comparison purposes! How about that use of cell phone technology?
Thank you TBNT Judy and UKLady and Isabella. He’s at the Regional Medical Center in San Jose (formerly the Alexian Bros. Hospital). He may have damage to his frontal lobes and possible contra coup bruising. They don’t want to do much til they can get the bleeding to stop and the swelling to go down. My daughter said his main nurse is named “Hope”. She’s taking it as a sign. Somehow it is harder when I’m removed from the situation. I can only support. I’m a do-er. He had just canceled his insurance on the first of June to save money. She’s going to see if it can be reversed. His boss cashed in the vacation time for my daughter and she’s got everything paid for July. After that, she has no idea. I’ve already offered them a place with us up here so she doesn’t have to worry so much. Damn, this is hard, being a mom like this. I want to fix everything. Thanks all. I was reading and checking out all the great new singers (new to me) and then the phone rang. Life changes in an instant.

Prayers your (and their) way, Redwoodmuse. So sorry to hear that…
Redwoodmuse – sounds as if your SIL is in a very good intensive care unit. You can be sure they are doing every thing they can. He is young and strong, lets hope that Hope is a good omen. Please ring your hubby, you shouldn’t be on your own worrying. xxxxxxxx
My prayers are with you all, Redwoodmuse.
We’ll know who was at the game when GINO reports the tickets as gifts. Those tix are more than $150. Did Rudy give ‘em 2 or 3? Or did Rudy give the tix to Scary PAC via Bernie Kerrick to launder them? Anyway, this is all a red herring to divert from her AGIA EOM sellout, her filip flopping and plagarism and hopefully that iceberg Gryphen keeps alluding to hasnt melted…
redwoodmuse – my oldest son had a similar injury 4 years ago, he was sedated, intubated, had a hole drilled in his skull to measure the swelling and pressure. It took a few months but he came back strong and is fine now. I will keep your family in my thoughts, hoping for the same outcome for your son-in-law. My son was in Monterey…….
Redwoodmuse so sorry to hear about your son-in-law, you and he will be in my thoughts and prayers. Wish there was more that I could do. Keep us up to date so we know how you’re holding up and how he is doing.
redwoodmuse said: “Life changes in an instant.”
My heart is aching for you and your family.
redwoodmuse – {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sedation and relieving the pressure are crucial. Thinking good thoughts.
redwood, is there any way you can get to where your daughter is?
sjk from the belly of the plane “We’ll know who was at the game when GINO reports the tickets as gifts. Those tix are more than $150″
They were behind home plate, premium, seats.
I’m thinking really good thoughts for you and your family, redwoodmuse. Mudpups pull together, so you just let us know if there is anything else that we can do.
redwoodmuse- positive thoughts and many hugs for a good recovery.
redwoodmuse:
Sorry to hear the news of your SIL.
Regardless of the “can’t call” edict on your hubby’s job…call anyway and whoever picks up the phone there, plainly and clearly state that there is a serious and critical family situation that must be discussed immediately with your husband. If you/husband get flack for this call, first thing Monday morning, call the company’s officers and notify them of the situation and file a complaint.
Hoping that “Hope” indeed is a very good sign for your whole family.
*fingers crossed for speedy and happy result*
Redwood, I spoke a few minutes ago with our neurosurgeon, not to be alarming, please if you can, get to where your daughter is. It is of utmost importance someone is able to communicate for your son in law and likely your daughter is sleep deprived & overwhelmed with this experience.
This link is the fastest indication I can provide for the overall grade of the hospital yet the most important of all, they are not a neuro trained facility.
http://www.hospital-data.com/hospitals/REGIONAL-MEDICAL-CENTER-OF-SAN-JOSE-211.html
There can be a healthy outcome for your family. Increasing your chances will be to have more then one family member present to receive and monitor treatment.
@redwoodmuse: from experience I can tell you that the doctor’s usually look for a 72 hour window from the time of the injury to the diagnosis. This is normally how long it takes for the swelling to go down enough for them to assess the damage. My thoughts are with your daughter because that 72 hours can feel like forever. Hopefully (and I agree the nurse’s name is a sign) everything will work out alright. I have a brother who has been through this several times – always seemed to land on his head as a child and he turned out just fine. Of course, if anyone tells him I said that I will deny it. My prayers are with your family.
P.S. Scrolling down half page will provide an easier graph of patients response to care and treatments.

Beautiful. Palin at a Yankees game with Guliani.
Guliani’s got a ton of ethics issues of his own – hired/appointed unqualified pals to key government positions, like Dept. of Corrections and Police Commissioner. Used public resources to facilitate having an affair with his communications director. Called a press conference to publicly dump his wife, without telling her first. His kids changed their names and didn’t invite him to graduation.
Sarah must know, she must have seen it on ESPN, that the Yankees are called the “Evil Empire”, referencing Ronald Regean?
“The evil empire extends its tentacles even into Latin America” – Red Sox Pres. Lucchino, New York Times.
She knows that, right, Meg Stapleton? Seeing as how she named her daughter after ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, CT.
Any halfway intelligent person (or sports fan) knows that the target of the joke was Yankee player Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod, hellooo?) and the sex/drugs/rock’n'roll lifestyle of baseball. He’s twisted up in the media with the steroids issue and fooling around with celebrity women: Vegas showgirls, Playboy bunnies, Madonna, Kate Hudson.
“When people write [bad things] about me, I don’t know if it’s [because] I’m good-looking, I’m biracial, I make the most money, I play on the most popular team.” Sports Illustrated.
There�s no question � the joke is that Rodriguez is not to be trusted with Bristol Palin. It had nothing to do with any other Palin.
Bristol Palin voluntarily appears on international broadcast television and in People Magazine more than once, publically discussing her sexual activity, with her dad beaming. She and Levi used condoms, except when they didn’t. Her mother issues press releases on the State of Alaska website. She signs with Candie’s, famous for its sexually-explicit and provocative marketing to teenagers, featuring Britney Spears.
Candieâ��s controversial marketing campaign featured MTVâ��s Jenny McCarthy. One print ad showed McCarthy applying fingernail polish, while another showed her singing into a showerhead, scantily clad in a glittering red dress. Another had McCarthy seated on the toilet with her underpants down at her Candie’s slides. There was a nude version run by Spin magazine.
Glamor and InStyle rejected an advertisement in which McCarthy, wearing a saucy red dress, lounged on the pool table in a stuffy men’s club with a roll of toilet paper stuck to the sole of her shoe. There was a kitchen scene in which McCarthy sat on the sink wearing casual, ankle-high shoes, leering at a plumber crouched under the sink with low-riding jeans exposing part of his backside.
Well done, Meg. All the way around. A very successful east coast PR tour.
We need a bit of humor here now, so here’s something that will definitely get a guffaw or two out of everyone…yep it’s about SP!

Usually if the anti-biotic doesn’t work within the first 24 hrs its the wrong one. I’m sure the switch to clindamycin will show improvement in swelling and pain. Glad you went back to your Dr.
Another murder spree by right wing domestic terrorists. Three people associated with a Minuteman Border Patrol group dresses as cops invaded a home after money and drugs and killed two people (one a young girl) and wounded one. Police say they planned to kill all witnesses. This added to the 5 other officers killed the last two months and the museum killings show the accuracy of the Homeland Security report that the rethugs screamed so much about. How about a war on domestic terrorism.

Redwoodmuse many hugs and prayers are flowing toward your family. You will supply strength to your daughter whether you can physically be there or not, but for both your sakes’ I hope you have an opportunity to get there. It will be a huge relief to all of you. Worry about the $$ later, they will come around even if the mudpups have to raise them.
redwoodmuse…..
Our thoughts will be with you and your Family
You mentioned that he had canceled his insurance to save money..?
You might be worried about ‘ that’ but let me tell you my previous situation.
I am only about an hour away from you/that Hospital btw. I was working for a Temp Agency about 3 years ago.. and so I had no insurance as well. I was not feeling well from the previous day so I went to the hospital to get checked out. Bad stomach ache I thought. Walked in Friday, they checked me out, and said I was going to go to the Operating Room right then. Bad appendix. I was released on Sunday after being in there about day and a half.
I got the bill later that week… 28K for a day and a half
( I think this was a “Catholic Healthcare Hospital”… can look it up)
Wondering how I was going to pay that was making me even more sick. Since I had no insurance I filled out forms listing my assets, debts, what I was making. It was submitted to a Hospital Review Board to look over. Short story… they decided to write it off. They emphasized this was a ‘ one-time’ thing for me.
I still had to pay obligations to the anesthegeoligist , private DR involved and Lab work company, but the 28K they wrote off.
That is just one option that might be available to your family down the road. They could review it and reduce the bill substantially as well. Just don’t worry about the insurance part at this point.
I’ll try to remember the name of the Hospital as well.
So sorry to hear about your son-in-law, Redwoodmuse. What an ordeal for you, not being there, waiting for news. Prayers sent your way.
redwoodmuse,
I am so glad you called your husband. Like UK Lady said, you should not be alone at this time, either. I hope you and your husband will be able to get down there to be with your daughter and SIL. Thinking healing thoughts for your SIL.

But particularly, the Christian community. Lots of chastity pledges; lots of normal healthy teenagers; lots of shenanigans during youth events at church. ‘Cause who’s supervising? Parents assume that youth pastors are seeing to the guidance and chaperoning, with Jesus’ assistance.
Redwoodmuse: I am sending prayers to you and your family. “Hope” is a very good sign. I am glad that your husband will be there with you for much needed support.
OT…and best wishes to Redwoodmuse:
“C4eeePeee Announces Grassroots Webathon to Retire Governor Palin’s Legal Debt”…
I guess the bulb is finaly starting to dim even for the dim wits that support Gov. grift-o-creep.
Letterman’s atty’s may have contacted the good Gov. Now they REALLY need to raise some dough!
@CG
I know…what more can one say? Jesus does everything for them…as if Jesus didn’t provide them with a brain and decision-making or parenting skills…they are just a lazy, ignorant bunch! I’ll never understand them and I believe in God no less than they do…go figure!
Check out ozmud’s perspective on the Letterman/ GINO mudslinging. She’s really articulate on this one, both as a mom and as a political observer.

Prayers and blessings to you and your family.
Namaste.
weaver57, I managed to dodge the flash floods. I’ve been home for a while today (slept about four hours when I got home). Looks like we might get a break from the rains for a couple of days. Hoping things are ok down Berea way.
BTW, we had a Berea College guy give a presentation on alternative energy. He was AMAZING!
@redwoodmuse
my thoughts and prayers go out to you, your daughter, and your son-in-law…I’m so sorry.

The seats were priced at $2,600 each.
redwoodmuse. Myself and my family are praying for God’s help for your son-in-law. Hope and prayers to you and your family. Here is a prayer I remeber over the years in times such as this.
I cannot make the sparrow fly,
Nor can I understand
What makes the clouds hang in the sky,
But I know One who can.
I cannot make the ocean waves
Dash forth against the land;
I cannot help the soul that craves,
But I know One who can.
I cannot hear the humble prayers
Of those of foreign clans;
I cannot ease their wants and cares,
But I know One who can.
I cannot lead the erring ones
With mine own trembling hand;
Nor yet restore the hope that’s gone,
But I know One who can.
I cannot see the broken hearts
That long for joy again;
Nor can I mend the broken parts,
But I know One who can.
I cannot heal the many ills
That come so oft to man;
I cannot give the joy that fills,
But I know One who can.
I cannot know why trials fall
Within our life’s short span;
But my God understands it all,
And He’s the One who can!
OK, listen up everybody! I’ve got the final be-all, end-all proof that Sarah Palin was lying about Willow being the subject of the “joke” by David Letterman (big surprise, huh?).
In addition to what we’ve already realized, that so far there’s no visual proof that Willow Palin was ever at that Sunday June 7th Yankee game….
According to this phrase in The New York Daily News — which’d I’d read before, I just didn’t realize the significance of it — “the Palins left sometime in the sixth inning for the [Independent Group Home Living Foundation] award ceremony honoring Palin.”
The Yankee game started at 1:10 PM EDT on Sunday June 7th. It wasn’t a nighttime game.
The 6th inning was around 3:00 PM in the afternoon, which would have given the Palins lots of time to get to the awards ceremony.
Therefore, even if a photo of Willow being at that game ever does surface — if the Palins left in the 6th inning, they wouldn’t have been there for the 7th inning, which is when a Palin daughter was supposedly being “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez!
David Letterman’s “apology under duress” is a valid apology.
Sarah Palin, you are SUCH a liar.
Sending good thoughts to redwoodmuse. Hoping for the best for your family.
#254 sjk from the belly of the plane…Yeah, I saw the fund raiser for the Palin Defense Fund. I just have to wonder who asked them to do this. How would they know there is a need unless they were informed by someone associated with the fund? From the fact they are holding a fund raiser to raise money for a fund raiser, I assume they haven’t accumulated as many dollars as they want. Or maybe they haven’t raised enough for Sarah, her family, friends, and associates to take a slice of the pie.
Wonder what type of fund they will set up next…one to send Piper to camp? Funds to hire a make-up artist for Sarah?
very late hugs to (((((redwoodmuse))))
“This just might be Sean Hannity’s looniest attack ever

Sean Hannity once again proves that he’s the guy who put the ‘a’ in moron, this time by pushing the bizarre myth that earlier this week President Obama called the U.S. “a Muslim nation.”

Thanks so much to everyone. So much emotions and feelings going on. My daughter called with a tiny piece of good news. The bleeding in his brain has stopped finally. This is the first positive change since he was brought in Thursday afternoon. Now, we have to get the swelling to go down. Not sure what the numbers mean (brain pressure maybe) but they want 8 and below. He’s sitting at 10, but it fluctuates and has been as high as 32. He’ll be sedated into Monday as they are trying to give him time to rest and stabilize. He still hasn’t become conscious and when he comes out of the light sedation he grabs to pull out the tubes so they had to restrain him, but his pulling even loosened the restraints. He’s a really strong young man and that is in his favor. He does have a neurologist (from Stanford she thinks) and he’s right on the case. So, right now it is a waiting game. Prayers to all gods and goddesses help as does holding him in the healing light. Thank you all for your good thoughts. I believe they have already made a difference.

Thanks for the prayer. I’ve printed it out. While I am not a Christian, (I walk a Nature path) I believe in an All That Is. And I believe that all prayers are heard and appropriate results are granted, sometimes beyond my limited understanding. My experience shows that to be true. Besides, it is a beautiful piece of writing.

Congratulations, Mudpuppies! Because of your dedication to Alaskan Politics and your love for the Governess, you are the privileged few. You, yes, you get to see an advanced copy of Sarah’s official autobiography about her time in the Presidential campaign!
Now, you might be wondering how I can offer this to you. Easy. I’m her Ghostwriter. Yes, Sarah chose one of your own to help her pen her story.
Today, I’m posting under a nom de plume. Yep a nom de plume for my usual nom de plume. Not only am I an anonymous poster, I’m anonymously anonymous! The only thing you’ll know for sure about my identity is that I’m not you.
My apologies up front to Australians, men named Joe, women named Sarah, people who love red, the Secret Service, and L. Frank Baum. And thanks to Bakers Dozen for sparking this creative trip with a previous posting, also too.
One note for those foreigners among you. The VP lives in the mansion at the Naval Observatory.
Sarah and the Geezer of Oz
Part One
Sarah, the gun totin’ moose eatin’ Alaskan witch Governor of the North-North West was making moose chili in the Hockey Rink Palace one day when she got a call from some minion asking her if she wanted to relocate to the Naval Observatory. “Hmmm. Navel gazing,” thought Sarah. I’m, like, also too qualified for that, you betcha!”
“If you want the job, click those Red Monkeys together three times and say, ‘There’s no place like Minnesota.’ But remember not to blink” Well, Sarah, being an opportunist, didn’t blink. She was whisked away by a Grand Ole’ Prariewind (hereafter known as a GOP).
“So that’s how you get things done. Just wish and click. I can to that,” thought Sarah. “Learned it at U of I when I sent in the boxtop and my 50 cents.”
Upon landing, Sarah found she’d trodden on several little people, killing them in the process. However, death and destruction were natural to her, so she took no notice. It turned out that the little people weren’t of small stature, but simply were less important than she. Their high, squeaky voices were the result of having been originally taught to talk in the 1950’s by Alvin and the Chipmunks (hired by Joe McCarthy) and was perpetuated by their frequent and breathless repetitions of party line. Sarah fondly named them Munchkins to help denote their pet status and unimportance. She promptly forgot the name, which was no matter, since she never used it again, anyway. She gave her lipstick on a pitbull speech, and passed off all her “troubled assets” as rock solid. The Munchkins, dressed in red, cheered.
“So this is Oz,” she mused. “I always thought is was a state in the nation of Africa, but here I find myself on an island continent surrounded by the Great Ocean Pacific (hereafter known as the GOP). I love being surrounded by GOP! I think I can see the Hockey Rink Palace from here!”

Our prayers are with you!
Redwoodmuse…….I walk a nature’s path as well. My thoughts and best wishes are with you. I have been through a similar tragedy in my family. Stay close and love each other. I’m glad to hear there is a glimmer of good news. I just logged on a while ago and haven’t yet read all the posts, but I did read all of yours. Stay strong for your daughter. She will draw strength from you. Strength draws and builds strength. Hugs to you and your family.
Eedwoodmuse – that sounds like good news, you were the first thing I thought about this morning and logged on to see if there was any news even before I got dressed. Was very happy for you that it was optimistic news, SIL sounds like a very fit, strong, determined man, that will be in his favour. Let us know if there is more news, I know we are all thinking of you and your family.
It was late when I posted my “Sarah is a LIAR – gone in the 6th – knocked up in the 7th” post above, so I didn’t read any other postings.
Redwoodmuse, my heart goes out to you and your family, and I’ll be thinking of all of you as I go through my daily activities. I hope you and your hubby are able to go to your daughter to help. What are families for but to support each other?
And we’re a family here, too….what, Team Mudpup?
You guys/gals rock!
