“It’s like Peggy Noonan, Jack London, and William Faulkner wandered into the woods with three buttons of peyote and one typewriter, and only this speech emerged.

…. she composed a resignation speech by throwing culture war stock phrases into a hat and dumping it upside down on a copy of The Paranoid Style in American Politics.”

Beautiful! I love it!

Rubber Room Hotel, you have my respect and sympathy. It’s hard when people you know and respect have swallowed not one lie, but an alternate reality. They are ego- invested in the whole world-picture, and won’t give it up until the opinions of those around them change. Eventually, the lies will do it. I remember Nixon, how all the Republicans defended him, Watergate was a “third-rate burglary” that the liberal media had blown up into a scandal to bring him down. When the tapes showed he had been lying about the Watergate cover-up, it was over, and the Republicans abandoned him. I think people will accept graft — in effect, being stolen from — much more readily than being lied to about something important.

There are a number of lies that have been made public, but they haven’t been the big ones that slap people in the face. The big lie that’s out there waiting is that she wasn’t pregnant with Trig. I find the photographic evidence convincing beyond a reasonable doubt, her story is unbelievable. If the MSM can get over their queasiness and take it on, it will bring her down.

Alaskans, do you feel ashamed and embarrassed for our state? I sure as heck do and I’d like to travel outside and say “I’m from Iceland in instead of Alaska.”

Naaahhh…

Ya alls ought to be proud. Enough of youse stood up and got rid of the worst governor in the country. There’s plenty reason to be proud to be Alaskan. I’d shake yer hand anytime.

This is simply one of the funniest lines I’ve EVER read! Love it! LOOVVE it!

“I am pretty used to not agreeing politically with my neighbors, and have had some mostly good natured grousing matches with them. Palin and frankly Obama changed all that. Some of it stopped being a friendly disagreement to down right ugly anger.”

Any one know her new twitter account? For comedy value alone – it could be fun to read once in awhile

Thanks. I love it all–but most especially this paragraph:

“Today is Abdication Day and Sarah is stepping out at 3 PM this afternoon. 5000 of us will line up for the annual Governors Picnic because we are hardy individualists opposed to Socialism and Communism, like our Governor, but love free food and money. Last year Palin added an extra $1200 on top of the $1900 Permanent Fund Dividend. $3100 plus in cash, to every eligible man, woman and child. She knows us well, and is more than willing to spread it around, even when it becomes rather circular. She put out a half-billion dollar bonus incentive to build the gas line. which the largest gas field leasee, Exxon Mobil, recognized as free money and got in line to share as largess with TransCanada. We all talk a good game of capitalism around here until the free hot dogs are distributed.”
