Open Thread – What the…?
Last Saturday was ex-Governor Palin’s farewell stop in Anchorage. I spent the afternoon at the governor’s picnic, fighting my way through packs of tourists with cameras and cell phones, pressing in and trying to snap a picture of the governor. I was told to evacuate the condiment area by some sort of hired picnic security thug. I was overwhelmed by throngs of people wearing t-shirts with pictures of firearms, and wearing actual firearms with ammo clips in plain sight. There were lines, hundreds long waiting to get a hamburger on a wonder roll from Sarah Palin… It was really a sensory overload experience on multiple levels.
Then, I saw this:
My first thought was, “What the Hell is THAT?” I’ve sat through enough Anchorage Assembly meetings watching people from local area evangelical churches wear red as their color of solidarity to take 3 minutes at the podium and read Bible verses, and tell everyone that homosexuality is a choice and a sin and will rob us all of our freedoms, and bla bla bla. So after a dozen hours or more of watching the color red be further co-opted by the religious right, my first thought was that this thing was some sort of homophobic picnic mascot sent to infiltrate the crowd by Jerry Prevo.
Then, I realized, that it was probably a drop of blood… presumably to encourage donations to the blood bank? That’s what I assume, although I didn’t actually ask it what it was. From the look of the security guy, he wasn’t quite sure either. It did do a little sassy leg lift when I took its picture, though….so it appears to have a sense of humor, which the people at the Assembly meetings definitely did NOT.
So, this sort of screams for a caption. Any ideas?
I think that you are right AKM and that it represented a drop of blood because the “Red Shirts” who are homophobic do not have a sense of humor. Yeppers!!
How odd…and ‘it’ matches the Coca Cola trailer in the background. Maybe if you dressed up, you could’ve inched your way to the front of the line.
Yes, the grinning blog is supposed to be a drop of blood. It may be flirting with you, with security, or it may need a bathroom break.
How about “A Republican Tear of Joy”
or “Palin Goes down in Flame”
Pretty weird…I’ll be puzzling on this all day (o:
Patrick Star,from Sponge bob.

Patrick enjoys doing everything that spongebob does.
He is the dumbest creature under the sea.He is the greatest friend
of spongebob.
So the sassy leg lift and the sense of humour.
LOL
Only thing he is pink not red.
Look up spongebob and friends,
non-palin related but how about Kool-Aid pitcher has been drinking sugar free?
All that security! Doesn’t Mrs Palin flatter herself? Personally, I would never touch her; she always looks to me as though she could do with a good wash. Ditto for her clothes.
And I certainly wouldn’t accept food from her!
Speaking of lack of hygiene, I see that at long last Americans might have better than third world food hygiene standards.
House passes far-reaching food safety bill
Farm-state members had argued that the bill would be too invasive on farms and had pushed colleagues to vote against it as it was considered under a special procedure that requires a two-thirds vote. It was rejected Wednesday by a few votes.
Democrats scrambled to put the legislation back on the House floor Thursday under a rule that required a simple majority to pass. The vote was 283-142.
“Americans are dying because the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t have the authority to protect them,” said Michigan Rep. John Dingell, the bill’s sponsor and a long-serving Democrat who has been pushing for tougher standards for more than a decade.

” The bloody ghost bids farewell to Palin”
Oh, too early to think about that. Need my coffee first.
Did you guys see Shatner doing a second Palin poetry reading -of her twits? Too funny!
Well Officer… as I tried to explain. Sarah said “What do you mean I can’t get blood from a turnip, I am still getting donations for the ATF”. So she grabbed the turnip and started squeezing really hard… and here I am.
The space shuttle Endeavour may be landing in the next few hours – you can tune in at NASA TV

Was it a teardrop? A red teardrop…..am still working on that.
“Single Red Female seeks same for brief, passionate, exploitative affair followed by bitterness, disillusionment and recriminations. Enjoys huntin’, fishin’, and resource mismanagement. Real Americans only.”
Perhaps too the caption should be….Palin sends a bloody Her-She Kiss to say her goodbyes at Anchorage picnic!
Wow…don’t know that that is, but I’m diggin’ the “sassy” leg lift.
It’s the blood of our brave warriors, [wink] spilled to protect our American freedoms of speech and the press, so respect our warriors by not saying anything bad about me, like quoting me or reporting on my actions, and also not talking about my kids when I shove them in front of a camera also. Too. I’m a maverick, you betcha! [wink, wink] God bless Real America! Now where’s my gun and helicopter? I’m hungry!
This quote from Inside Radio is making the rounds today re: Sarah Palin’s “attorney” trying to quash the radio rumors. My question is, who is Robert Barnett?
—–
Radio might be in former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s plans, but her attorney says a decision hasn’t been made. Robert Barnett disputes reports members of Palin’s team have been testing the waters to gauge syndicators’ interest.
Barnett says, “Many individuals and entities have expressed strong interest in Governor Palin. To date, she has not spoken with any of them, negotiated with any of them or made deals with any of them.”
http://www.insideradio.com/Article.asp?id=1431221&spid=32060
Sounds like a lot of “face-saving” to me. I think no one really wants her at this point. She’s a quitter, flighty, unreliable, a drama queen, and incoherent. The only “good” speech she gave was the one written FOR her at the Republican Convention. Who would want to risk employing someone like that.
As someone said, if she looked like Golda Meir, would anyone even be talking about her?
About the disinvitation from CA; Am still wondering how a mix-up could happen. It’s possible that ex-gov SP was considering to go, but felt she could get better offers with pay and just rudely dumped them. But, this whole affair seems curious, because Meg Stapleton, supposedly educated and learned as a political spokesperson, would have a clue how to keep her client’s image, reputation in the best light.
It might appear like MS is enabling her client, by letting these embarassing faux pas go on; it reminds me of a celebrity entourage who enable their partner/friend because they gain so much financially.
Or, maybe it’s that either of them have a clue.

That just might be it. Does anyone remember the figures from the PAC financial report? With the payments to MS, as well as the payments to the izzy-whatsit consulting thing (also MS, somehow).
Anyone think Nancy Reagan had something to do with Palin NOT speaking at her husband’s library? Maybe she raised a stink.
Once again, mass confusion regarding Palin’s RSVP to an event. Is she playing hard-to-get? It’s pretty easy to see a pattern here.
Does she think her star is so big that she can commit, not commit, and back out after committing and it won’t hurt her?
I happened to be standing there when this picture was taken.
Three guesses as to who dared me to ask the blood droplet why he/she hated gay people.
It would not have been that funny only because you cannot see the expression on the face. If you could I probably would have done it.
I rarely pass up a dare.
Well – The fella in black seems to be thinking “WTF”.
Out of curiosity, I checked out the “invite the Gov” page on the AK website. The first line reads:
“Please fill out the form below if you would like to invite Governor Sean Parnell to attend or participate in an event. ”
They’ve obviously been able to change the name to Gov Parnell, but the rest of the page looks just as it did while SP was still in office, down to the “Is the first family invited” question.
It’s a melting M&M
I think it’s the Red Menace Palin warned us about in the Couric interview. Remember, when Putin rears his head where does he go????? A-lahs-ka. The invasion has begun.
Just over 20 minutes till the shuttle lands –

Caption, “Here’s that blood from a stone that is called for in the ex-Gov’s book contract!”
from the website Firstread – results of a 12 person focus group in Maryland:
On Sarah Palin: “If I wanted a stripper for president… She is not real bright,” “future,” “I’m glad she resigned,” “average,” “idiot,” “nutty,” “go away,” “she has a good speaking voice,” “celebrity,” “comical.”
just a repeat of I’m not going and then showing up at the Regan CRAP.. X nut bag really feeds on NEGATIVE attention (pay attention to ME the party crasher).. she needs professional help..
this is: “the last drop of blood extracted from alaska by sarah palin”
the knee fling? it’s very happy to have been shed….
“Local official ponders existence of Republican sperm”
Here’s a good one for you guys. One of my best friends from college is a crazy Republican and he is always forwarding me stale, old right wing emails that he thinks are new. He always leaves the prior addressees in the emails, even though I have told him on many occasions that he shouldn’t. He finally sent me something yesterday that was so incorrect and pissed me off so much that I responded to it, including documentation and online references (ie congressional records and other official govt websites) for everything I said. Then I sent it to everyone that it had ever been forwarded to. It took me an hour and fifteen minutes of cutting and pasting to get all the addresses in.
I also removed all references to my friend so as not to get him in trouble with anyone. However, he’s such a prolific forwarder that evidently everyone new who it came from. I just received this blanket email:
“Jay is a college liberal friend of mine who likes to correct and harass me for not verifying that not everything you read on the net is true. Too, proper protocol for forwarding unsupported stuff like this is to at least strip all of the previously left addressing (like those emails from Scott XXXXX). That just makes me leave on all of the addresses and not check any facts since it gets him so worked up!”
Tee hee hee! I’m gonna have a smile on my face all day long!
She will only piss off conservative Repubs like those in CA just so long; before they dump her completely. In response to above—I DO think Nancy R.
might have spoken up, also.
The Drama queen strikes again!!!

The shuttle is down. I watched it on the NASA channel from the link you posted and noticed that they were several minutes behind the live programing that was being shown on television. I got to watch it twice! LOL
Boom-Boom… with two, quick reverberating sonic booms the shuttle is back here in FL. It’s always a GOOD thing to hear the mission pilot say “Wheels stop” after any journey.
Welcome home.

Nan – Here is a response from an email sent to Palin last week:
Thank you for contacting the Office of Alaska Governor Sean Parnell. We
are happy to let you know that correspondence for Governor Sarah Palin
may now be sent to the following email addresses:
PalinScheduling@gmail.com and PalinMediaRequests@gmail.com
Other forwarding information may be available online. We hope this
information is helpful, and best wishes.
Office of the Governor
(BTW – the response did not have any answer to the question asked in the email)
34 lynnrockets, that was a good, pithy caption.
Space shuttle landed, also, too.
39 Like that caption also too.
Thank you, Snoskered, for that link.
I got there just in time to see Endeavor make a perfect landing.
“There’s no place like home.”
Well, since SP was deemed a vampiric idjot by many, maybe that’s a vampire’s tear of joy at being freed from SP. Vampire tears are blood red.
Really, I think AKM is right – I’ve seen a similar teardrop at community blood drives, and even a few t-shirts given as thank you’s to donators.
michigander
Interesting.
I wonder if they didn’t answer the question because the email was addressed to SP so they figured just letting it go was best. Who knows, anymore.
Nan
A Fan from Chicago was right!
Now that Sarah is gone, Putin has reared his head, and nobody noticed!!
You will start seeing more and more of these Hershey kiss-shaped communist infiltrators, and there is nothing you can do about it, because your Commander in Chief Sorta of your National Guard is gone, and Obama has reduced the missile defense budget, and the Democrats want to take away your guns and not even let you use them in helicopters, and…need I go on?
To Liz @ #19
“Palin’s Quit Speech makes even God’s ears bleed”
To Liz at #19 Robert Barnett is the DC attorney who brokered Palin’s book deal. (He also did book deals for both Clintons and Obama.)
I looked to see if the bean-bag version of the blood droplet on my bookcase had a name on the tag, but it just says “Blood Bank of Alaska.” Maybe one of the many nice people at the Blood Bank can help us out. I’m sure they would be very happy to schedule an appointment for those who are eligible to donate and wish to do so.
love the cnn headline…”Palin schedule chaos hits GOP” heehee
I thought the red thing represent a red flame, for fire, for energy, that maybe this is a mascot for a natural gas company? Back in the Midwest, the local gas company used an image similar to this. But if this was actually related to something like natural gas, I am pretty sure the people who paid for the costume would want you to know what it is.
Or maybe it was just someone having weird fun.
Back in the early seventies, when I was an undergrad, the young Republicans in that state (Wisconsin) had the annual convention at my university’s campus. This appalled many liberal students, this being an era when young people still demonstrated a lot. . . the sixties barely over.
To protest the young Republicans ‘convention’, which took place in our student union, a bunch of my friends rented bumblebee costumes and buzzed around all the young republicans, just to be pains in the asses and bug the heck out of the young republicans. They refused to speak when spoken so and they did drive the young republicans nuts. There weren’t many young republicans, given that it was, supposedly, the statewide meeting for the year. That was nice, that there weren’t many republicans in attendance.
Maybe that ared dot was making an obscure statement. gosh, I’d love to know what such a statement might be.
The answer to the blood drop is…
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_20050616/ai_n15837724/
Pointy, hooded, albeit I’ve not seen this sort of thing in red but, aaack – maybe I’ve got racial paranoia; it reminds me of these guys featured in this slide show:
http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2009/2/6/former_lake_county_officer_tied_to_kkk.html
So, this sort of screams for a caption. Any ideas?
“Hey dude, can you tell me where I can drain the vein?”
The red drop represents Ketchup, who was also told to leave the condiment area– leaving behind the yellow drop of Mustard, the green drop of Relish, and the white one representing chopped onions. It was the work of a jealous Hot Sauce, who looked just like Ketchup and wanted all of the attention.
Now to be serious about Sarah’s latest melt down. I am going out on a big limb here, but this is my guess: While Governor, she could not officially sign the contract or any related documents related to the Simi Valley speech. She promised that it would be taken care of the moment that she left office.
But, something more important came up. There could some serious legal matters on $arah’s legal plate, and the lawyer(s) might have said that these matters were far more important than a jaunt to California. I’ll give an example. When former Gov.Blagojevich (Illinois) wanted to go off to the jungle and eat worms on TV, the court wouldn’t let him go. They admonished him that with thousands of pages of charges to wade through for his coming corruption trial (January 21010?) he had to stay home and start reading.
I’m also going to make a big fat guess based on nothing but gut feeling. My nephew has attention deficit disorder and one of his major flaws is that he cannot finish anything. In school, he couldn’t hand in the final paper; he couldn’t take the final test. He has left job after job. I am guessing that Palin has some kind of psychological problems that make her act in erratic ways. She has canceled speeches and appearances before, and quitting her past job makes no sense. Maybe the medication has lost its effect. Maybe she is bipolar. She has been strangely silent lately, given her recent flurry of twitters. If you had to go by her last few speeches, you might just be the one patting her arm and saying, “Please, Simi Valley isn’t that important, hon, you really need a break from all of this pressure.”
Anyone know who Morgan Erisman is and what role he plays in the new administration? The email was sent from him.
“Red CAN occasionally keep away the dead” ” Red Corpuscle, the real red.”
Sorry I’m a nurse.
Williamson on “The Thinker” suggests that SP may not be tied to either party anymore. She may have decided to not do any partisan gigs.
liz @ #19 – maybe this is Robert Barnett? advisor to presidential campaigns, representer of book authors, and many other things – out of Wash DC
http://www.wc.com/attorney-RobertBarnett.html
Y’know, when I read, a few weeks back, that Palin was going to talk at the Reagan library,my first thought was that she was an insult to Reagan. I hate Ronald Reagan: he was the figurehead of the neo-con movement that dragged this country into the dirt during George W. Bush years but even Ronald Reagan was a kind of competent in elected office. Palin is an insult to his memory.
I think the suggestion that Nancy Reagan might have resisted having Palin speak at the Reagan library sounds about right.
I had this thought in the middle of the night (I’ve been up all night writing the next great American novel) . . . this is a crazy concept but I want to run it past this great community . . . can anyone imagine Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska but imagine her having been nice, kind and warm-hearted, thoughtful and generous of spirit, turning the other cheek, carefully honoring even the mere appearance of impropriety? It occured to me if she had just been pleasant and kind, along the lines of what they teach good little girls in kindergarden, even if she was kinda incompetent, disinterested in actually doing the work of governing. . . if she had been nice, she might have actually had a political future.
I reiterate that I despise what Ronald Reagan stood for. The whole country continues to live with the damage he set loose. . . but Reagan was always nice.
Sarah Heath Palin has a mean streak. Her constant reflex when someone disagrees with her is not just to say she disagrees . . . but wants to lash out and hurt. I think if she were naturally kind, instead of compulsively controlling and manipulative, she would have done all right even though she is a bubble brained moron. Nice goes a long way.
If my mom said it once, she said this a thousand times: you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Sarah is too full of vinegar. Ronnie Reagan was sweet.
All is quiet on the Western Front. But like Old Faithful, things must be heating up for the inevitable eruption. I would not want to be a family member stuck with her right now as she watches her house of cards blow away with the wind. The realization is going to hit her sometime that the dream is over, she is going nowhere, people don’t care about her anymore, they just want her gone. And when that happens, it’s going to get ugly(er).
What she doesn’t realize is that to go where she wants to go, she needs some cred. Her erratic actions have worn thin, even on true believers. As far as speaking engagements, she’s like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. You play the same trick over and over with a different excuse every time, and eventually, no one is going to want to play with you. How many speaking engagements has she canceled now? How many organizations have expected her to show up only to be told, not only will Sarah not be showing up, but she never committed in the first place. These organizations obviously thought she was going to show up. And this is how she treats her friends and supporters! And all invites to speak need to be run by her lawyer? What, does she think these are all “Gotcha” invites?
A couple weeks ago, she was busting at the seams to be able to tweet without the constrictions of being Governor. Now silence. Well, after the William Shatner interpretive readings of her farewell speach and twitter tweets, I guess she might be afraid to put anything out there to be made fun of. She has to know that now, anything she throws out there will be examined ,and dissected, and thrown back in her face.
Then the book deal……… who the hell is going to want to read a book by Sarah Palin now? Certainly not enough people to justify a 7 mill advance. People want to read about heros, not quitters. And besides, if the book made any sense at all, it was obviously written by someone else. With Sarah’s propensity for chopping up words and sentences and tossing them about willy nilly it will be a hard read to try to comprehend anything. If Sarah writes it, I can only imagine it reads like one of her twitters. Maybe William Shatner can translate it for us.
Whatever, I believe Sarah is going to fade away from mainstream consciousness (after all the legal matters are cleared up) and someday, she’ll be the answer to a trivia question. Something like…. “What’s the biggest mistake you ever made in your voting life?” Answer……Supporting Sarah Palin.
The red thingy above is the last drop of blood Alaska wrung from Sarah Palin. Or is it the last drop of blood Sarah wrung from Alaska?
Caption: “Hmmm, I wonder what it would feel like if I sat on that Republican thing?”
classic pullin’ a palin per urban dictionary.
1. Quitting when the going gets tough; abandoning the responsibility entrusted to you by your neighbors for book advances and to make money on the lecture circuit.
2. Bizarre move that will damn ambitions for higher office.
“I bet when people saw Jade they were convinced that David Caruso was pullin’ a Palin.”
Caption: “I must admit that you have a point there, but if you wear a hat, nobody will notice.”
That’s one creepy thingamabob, whatever it is.
I have no idea what was going on there, but the picture is funny.
I’ve been wondering what Alaskan poets/poetry community think of the Shatnerized Palin poem from Conan’s show? Some of those lines were poetic sounding:
“Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun,”
“the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty,”
and “fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins.”
Will Palin bump Alaska’s poet laureate?
Tissielish: Yes, she would be a force if she were not mean and erratic.
I can muster empathy for almost anyone.
My buddhist training helps me see everyone as suffering in this life.
I felt bad for Saddam in his last humiliating days!
(He was used by the USA until they didn’t like him anymore. He is a criminal but we installed him and then took him down. )
So, I do feel badly for her.
I think something is up.
She is suffering as a human being, as we all do, but there is something very wrong. If she were what her supporters think she is, she would behave much differently.
The drop is definitely part of the PR for the Blood Bank. My daughter worked all day in the bus collecting during “Palin’s Picnic.” This was definitely something positive amid the negative hyperbole/fabrications/”poetry” that was part of the “menu” provided by Seldom Seen Sarah and her Sychophants.
Freakout in Kansas -
YUP – Same thing here. I have a good friend who is as Republican as they come. He has forwarded me “stuff” without cleaning up the various other addresses. Two of his “regulars” are in fact teachers at a major university. They in fact use the university e-mail to send and forward junk. Now , I only send him racy e-mails , nothing political. If he forwards it , and those guys get popped , too bad.

—————————————
I honestly think she is classic bi-polar combined with a Narcissistic personality disorder. It is a classic blend. She is hyper. Even on that fishing boat outing after her “Joan of Arc I quit speech” she was speeded up and rattled. She looks terrible. She should just take a good rest out in the Alaskan woods. If I were her I would just disappear for six months.
As many have pointed out, she HAD the PERFECT political cover if she would have just said “My special needs kid needs me right now as a Mother so I am resigning – bye!” and then showed up in two years as the Republican Presidential Joan of Arc Super Family Values Mom Candidate Goddess from the Great White North! But she was too amazingly dumb to see how perfect that was if she wanted to stay in it. So now the best gig for her is write the book and get a TV talking head job. But I predict she is so ADD that she just will not be able to do that either. Whatever her life long biochemical demons are, they are still there. If she gets a TV show on Fox, I predict it will be a flash in the pan. She cannot be coherent for more that a month. The nasal voice will be lethal. The Johnny-One-Note yammering psychological need ideology just will not be surgical enough for any real understanding of anything. It will all break down over time as a ratings train wreck. She is a mentally ill person and this has all gone way to far. John McCain was a madman to inflict this sad spectacle of mental illness on the nation. It is as simple as that.
Palin’s new email address is GMAIL?
I find that oddly amaturish.
Sarah told me I was the only one spared after she cleaned her vampire teeth.

I will never forget the look on Palin’s face the night she lost the election. She knew she had a lot of dirt under the carpet.
The day Sarah gave her resignation speech her father was caught on the video with the same kind of look. Like things were really starting to fall apart and come to the surface. Ugly things.
I am sure there is alot of bartering and wheeling and dealing going on behind the scenes. Sarah would try her best to make sure her true self is not blasted all over the media.
With so many gates many people have info regarding unethical conduct. Sooner or later the gates are going to erupt and the real bad news about who Sarah is and how she operates will hit the media outlets.

That other site has a write up about Mudflats and Hay’s research. hhere is part of it.
Update 2: To Mudflats and Shannyn, if you want to accept that this Hays Research poll at face value, I’m sure Governor Palin would as well given that it means Parnell is likely on his way to a landslide victory in 2010, meaning he will have the opportunity to continue all of her major initiatives, something that he has already pledged to do.
Also I saw were the California event is offering refunds to event if requested for $P not showing up. What a joke .
#62 Twodux, I think you’ve nailed it, she’s afraid to make a speech or even twitter because once again, she’ll be the butt of so many jokes. Did she just start paying attention or did she think with her threats to letterman & shannyn
plus the scolding she gave all of us in her farewell speech that all criticism would come to a grinding halt? Unless she plans on spilling her guts in her upcoming book I think interest will dwindle fast. A radio show is absurd, her voice makes dogs run howling into the woods. A faux position is probably about the only thing left for her. As insipid and toxic as most of the women are at faux they’ll certainly give her a run for the money in the looks department, she doesn’t like that kind of competition…

# 62 and # 92 I came back here after thinking about the lack of twitters to say the same things. I think she has finaly been embarresed into silence. (for a time)
Also too… my husband and I thought some of the images in her shatner read beat poetry made sense to us as alaskans. (in the same way larry beck??? remember him folks? old guy who came here every summer to wow tourists with alaskana in the 70′s and 80′s)

So, I do feel badly for her.
I think something is up.
_____________________________________________________________
I’m sorry Lilybart, I just can’t muster any sympathy for Sarah Palin.
I think something’s up too. I can smell blood in the air…”the pajama clad bloggers circled the wounded mama grizzly, waiting for the chance to go in for the kill”…let’s do it! After all, if I remember my Jack London correctly, that’s the way of the North isn’t it?
Caption: “Hmmm, I’ve always had a thing for red heads.”
Caption: “Tell me, is it true that Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down?”
In Palin’s mind, showing up to scheduled events would be considered “politics as usual,” wouldn’t it? Just a thought…hahaha
I meant: “You’re a vain Prick!”- not a “Vein Prick”
(Got some help from some of the previous comments above)
Don’t make the mistake that Palin is embarrassed! She doesn’t get embarrassed because she’s a narcissist. She is NOT laying low due to any introspection. She is up to something – she always is. I’m sure she’s playing with how to communicate with her thug brood without the world knowing every tweet. Or she’s planning on suing someone. Or…
it’s Buddy the Blood Drop! The official mascot for the American Red Cross.
OMG….Hilarious. Who the heck thought of Buddy the blood drop?
I don’t know about everyone else, but seeing drops of blood dance around with sassy little leg kicks, doesn’t really motivate me to give blood. It makes me want to run and hide.
What is the possibility she is a binge drinker- and need those “away moments” to go get wasted? It would explain her nervousness, excitability, and paranoid behavior- as well as her last minute cancellations and distortions.
Tales From The Darkside… (no offense to the TV show)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/31/palin-goes-dark-leaves-su_n_248606.html
could it be the last drop of blood $P was trying to wring out of the Alaskan people before she left?
Lots of funny comments on the Huffpo linked at #107
AKM: the “security guy” is just a kid from the Alaska Military Youth Academy. That’s just how they have to dress, they are just gofor’s. Though, I have no idea what their job was. I think they we supposed to be on garbage patrol, But the company that was supposed to bring the RED (I kid you not) trash cans did not show up.
Funny how someone who “doesn’t need a title” insists on remaining “Governor”
Sarah may believe she was elected Vice President and has gone to Dick Cheney’s “Undisclosed Location” for 8 years. We can only hope….
michigander (at 7:24 AM)–he/she is an intern in the Gov.’s office.
“Stand on one foot?” “Now, close my eyes and touch my nose?”
“I haven’t been drinking officer, I’m just drunk with power.”
One other thought on Sarah canceling from the Reagan Library event.
I’m curious if she was going to be paid for this event? If so and she accepted while in office, this would be another “frivolous” ethics charge in the making. Could be why shy canceled.
I read that she wasn’t getting paid. The Rep. Women group was paying her travel/lodging/meal expenses only.
“Donate to AFT now. We’ll take every last drop.”
Caption: “Simon says, lift one leg.”
I think the person upthread who compared her behavior with ADHD, and so on, may have a point. She operates from day to day, and can’t plan for things because of her mood swings, erratic-ness…so forth.
Caption: “MEDIC!”
Perhaps another reason for not releasing medical records? Prescriptions for anti-depressants, whatever.
Caption: “Ya know, I think you’re bloody well right.”
“My name’s Pundit Point, and I’m here from the GOP to encourage Sarah to make a point that’s comprehendible. It’s a big job, but someone’s got to do it.”
“Last drop of Kool-Aid. Any takers?”
What if there was another “unplanned” pregnancy in the family? That might explain the rush to resign.

OT- President Obama isn’t perfect. But, thank goodness, he is smart and works hard. Out of every single candidate from all parties, he shined. He won by a landslide which says that most Americans were paying attention. So that is my good thought for today.
I think that Palin “going dark” is just a power play on her part.
Just like sending an RSVP to speak at events and then cancelling. It’s all a power struggle with her and she HAS to win. If it seems she isn’t going to win—-she quits.
Also too, she likes to “keep ‘em guessing”–she likes the attention of people wondering what she is doing/thinking/planning).
But, her behavior is so erractic that one has to wonder if there isn’t some other “issue”.
Okay, this is funny…because it’s not that far from the truth. Enjoy!

This is possible.. I lived in the valley from ’92 to ’94 and she pretty much had her own stool at the 4 corners bar. She was a well known barfly.. I guess that was before she became a liar for Jesus
Here is a comment I thought was funny regarding Nancy Pelosi probably not wanting SP at the Reagon Library-
“Bravo Nancy! No doubt she told Sarah that Ronnie’s Library sure as hell wasn’t going to be the FIRST library Sarah ever visited.”
—————————
Maybe that’s it! When Sarah first accepted the Reagan speech she thought it was some kind of lying expo. Then someone told her that a “library” was a place where books were kept. Then she said, “A fireplace?” Then the folks in CA said, “Thanks, but no thanks!”
@BahstinBoyo (107);
Thanks for the link; the comments are hilarious (love the “crayons”).
I always wondered if Palin sat up at night furiously searching the blogs to see what people were saying about her. Otherwise, how did she hear about so many of the things that were only said on blogs or on the internet?
Seriously, unless you are reading blogs or some internet stories, Palin usually was not in MSM news. She had to be lookin’ for who to attack next.
That’s just odd behavior. Most politicians focus on their jobs and not the blogs.
it’s a tear drop… of joy. Happy that SP was leaving.

I have a few questions is anyone can answer them for me…
Since Sarah Palin resigned from her office of Governor, does she still get her insurance and does she get a pension from the State of Alaska?
Since Sarah Palin resigned from her office of Governor, does Meg Stapleton still get paid for being her spokesperson?
I would think that anyone who resigned from their job, that they shouldn’t get all these perks! If I were to resign from a job, I would lose all benefits immediately!
While we ponder what the ‘red drop ‘ is we should also be pondering the answer to AKM’s last Tweet over there———–>>>>>>
One obvious answer to the question ” WTH is Goofy ” ? is….Sarah Palin IS ‘Goofy’
But I don’t think that was the answer AKM was looking for.
Can anybody answer AKM’s…. pondering question..? ( since childhood no less )
I agree with several of the posters here that there is some mental or emotional problem which causes Palin’s erratic, inappropriate and often viscious behavior. I understand why some people might feel sorry for her but I have a hard time mustering up any sympathy.
I have struggled for many years with a close relative who has psychological problems that she refuses to acknowledge. It is always someone else’s fault (sound familiar?) and anyone who questions the abnormal behavior must be crazy themselves. She is also a master of manipulation and has everyone who is not closely related to her absolutely convinced that she is the most stable, sweet, caring person alive (sea of pee, anyone?).
The sympathy you may feel at first eventually gives way to anger that the person repeatedly refuses to admit to, or seek help for, their problem. As a young child it was all I knew, but as as an adult I can look back and recognize that many of the behaviors I accepted as normal were, in fact, symptoms of a serious illness. Palin’s perpetual refusal to accept responsibility for anything, coupled with her refusal to listen to anyone around her does not bode well for the future.
I have reached a point in my life where I accept that it is way too late for the person in my life to change, and so I keep the distance necessary for my own peace of mind. I often feel the implied criticism from some people around me who don’t understand that distance is essential for maintaining my own sanity. I sincerely feel for Palin’s family who must find their own ways of dealing with the constant angst that Sarah does and will continue to bring to their lives.

Information on Robert Barnett – represents many media clients and also represents former government officials in conjunction with their transitions to the private sector.

Caption: “Alms for a leper?”
Ok, completely OT, but AKM’s Facebook status has me wondering what breed of dog Goofy was supposed to be, and for that matter Pluto as well.
After some research (nah, just a Google search), I’ve come to the determination that Goofy is a Gordon Setter and Pluto is an Irish Setter. I could be wrong though!
Wow, is my mind wandering today or what?
Caption: “Whatta you lookin’ at copper?”
Caption: “Hey, Big Boy wanna date?”
yes, i read somewhere that Robert Barnett is the SarahPAC attorney?
Caption: “Hey, dontcha know? Red is the new Black”
No clever caption, but another example of an Alaska administrative and/or governmental problem. This probably started before Palin, but she sure didn’t attempt to tackle it:
http://www.adn.com/news/environment/flooding/story/882678.html
Originally Pluto was named, “Pluto the Pup.” Maybe Goofy was supposed to be an adult dog.
Caption: “Hey officer, looks like I got the rhythm and you got the blues”
Barnett is also most likely to have been the lawyer who brokered Palin’s book deal. In the past he has brokered book deals for politicians such as Tony Blair, Karl Rove and Ted Kennedy. Sarah’s dancing in heavy company there!

I don’t know about the insurance and pension, but Meg hasn’t been paid by the state for a while. She was working for the McCain campaign, and then for SarahPac. So they are the one’s picking up the tab for that, not Alaska.

@leenie17-thanks for sharing your experience. i agree that one definitely has to distance oneself from people with these issues, or be drained. people with these issues still have choices and hopefully one day will decide to begin a journey to heal themselves and take responsibility for their actions. (IMO)
that’s right, Barnett is the book attorney- not the SPAC attorney.
Re: the “goofy” question:
“…original concept name was “Dippy Dawg” in cartoon shorts created during the 1930s” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goofy
However, the “goofy” question remains one of the great all-time campfire discussion starters of all time.
blush – delete “of all time”
fox website and most of the conservative blogs have nothing about sp on them…looks like she’s not interesting to them anymore…maybe we should have the same attitude. But if it’s true she does read liberal blogs like a previous poster suggested, then just one more thing sarah….BUH BYE!
anti- check out the “Goofy” scene in the movie “Stand By Me”
Problem child:
Meg Stapleton is an employee of SarahPAC so I assume as long as SarahPAC exists, Meg Stapleton gets paid.
@168 Bystander – - long before “Stand By Me”, it was a popular scout camp topic.
:-O AKM
How come Goofy gets to be dressed and walks upright but Pluto is naked and walks on all fours. Is Pluto a dog’s dog in the sense of a man’s man? Also why doesn’t Donald wear pants?
Thanks to Answers.com and Wikipedia:
“Goofy is an animated cartoon character from the Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse universe, and is one of Mickey Mouse’s best friends. His original concept name was “Dippy Dawg” in cartoon shorts created during the 1930s; then his name was given as “George Geef” or “G.G. Geef” in cartoon shorts during the 1950s, implying that “Goofy” was a nickname. Contemporary sources, including the Goof Troop television show and A Goofy Movie, now give the character’s full name to be Goofy Goof. The Goof Troop pilot also refers to ‘G. G. Goof’ on a diploma, likely a reference to the 1950s name. On the other hand, the comics sometimes refer to him as Goofus D. Dawg. Along with being not intelligent, Goofy’s main flaw is, predictably, clumsiness. His birthday is May 25, 1932. Goofy is a V.I.P. member of the Mickey Mouse Club.”
Does Sarah have to pay Cobra? With both her and Todd pretty much unemployed they’re going to burn through that book advance fairly quickly.
caption ” I belong in the rainbow, but got hijacked at Anchorage Town meeting by EB”
Daisy, yes, Barnett has done book deals for half of DC, including Obama, Clinton, etc.
How can Palin afford to retain this guy? Where did the retainer come from? You know he probably charges $1000K+ per hour, so the retainer would have to be very large. Every minute of conversation (rounded up to the next minute), whether on the phone, in person, etc. goes to billing against the retainer, plus any expenses (such as the COST of the phone call, the email, copying, etc.) Billable hours is Everything in these law firms. So, who paid it? Even if he’s working on a percentage of the advance (contingency fee), it had to be a pretty large sum. These guys don’t come cheap. Has Palin actually received her advance on the book yet? Does anyone know?
Funny that Barnett would comment on a broadcast deal…unless she hired him exclusively for any media deals she might be able to scrounge up and not just the book. According to his profile on the law firm’s website:
Mr. Barnett was ranked Number One on Washingtonian magazine’s list of “Washington’s Best Lawyers” and as one of “The 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America” by The National Law Journal. He was also named one of the one hundred most powerful people in the entertainment industry by Entertainment Weekly Magazine.
I think- unless it was negotiated differently- that once Palin resigned as Governor, her insurance ends at the next pay period (when insurance cost would be deducted). Then she has the option of COBRA- same insurance, but Palin pays full cost, and she can do this for 180 days. That is a way to continue health coverage, and not get dropped for pre-existing conditions (Trigg) when she gets new insurance. Of course, the kids may be covered under Todd, so it might not matter-
This is what typically happens, but State government coverage may be different- sometimes it is for people who retire from government jobs, but not through resignation.

Hmm. Red. Pointy head.

@jc in co:
Isn’t Todd employed by an oil/gas company, at least part-time? Maybe an AK mudpup can answer this-
Sanford’s book deal was canceled. Is it possible that Sarah’s could have been canceled, too? Or are Sarah’s attorneys fighting to keep the book deal alive or at least keep the advance? If it were cancelled, Sarah would likely try to keep it hush, hush.
Meanwhile, back in the Hamptons: (Is this where Sarah wants to move?)
first they wanted to use the pool, now they want to read books?
next they’ll expect health care, decent wages, a place to live, real democracy, and a college education!!!

Also, it has occurred to me over and over, consistently, that perhaps the publisher is having second thoughts and there may be a broken contract. There is no contract that can’t be rescinded, esp. when there is no progress from the “author” or something occurs that violates the contract. You can bet savvy publishers have escape clauses as well as being able to demand repayment of any advance when it’s determined that the “author” cannot fulfill her obligations.
W o W…. I just saw one of the Huffpo stories on the Politics page.
The wacko birther Attorney/Real Estate Agent/Dentist.. Orly Taitz brags of a friendship with Michele Bachman.
The question to ask is..?… based on their frienship.
Which one makes the other one look more ‘ crazy ‘?
Bachman sure ‘ pals around with ‘ some real characters. I hope the Democrats can bring up this connection when Bachman runs for re-election.
Off Topic but…….
Speaking of “Stand By Me”, here’s a little relief from Sarah drama. It’s a project called Playing For Change. Street musicians from all over the world were recorded singing the same song and it was mixed together. The idea is we all need to work together to make the world a better place, an idea all politicians , who practice the politics of divisiveness, could take a lesson from.
The reason “Stand By Me” reminded me of this project is, that is the first song that was recorded for for this effort.
Here are a couple of my favorites. You can view the rest by going to the home page and clicking on Episodes.

$arah is hanging around them 24×7 and they can’t get away from her. And with her most recent erratic behavior. Gryphen said her and Bristol had a lit spat a few weeks ago as well. ( details never told ).
If I was Bristol… I would want to be ‘ out of there ‘!
Has Bristol kept a FaceBook page current and up to date… with pics of Tripp or other stuff? Just as a way to stay in contact with her Friends… because she can’t get out much these days. Raising Tripp and all.
Look what happens in my state if it takes too long to release records you’ve requested. Read closely regarding the rules/law. They have already received & reviewed the records, but are still suing because it took so long.
FRI., JUL 31, 2009 – 9:22 AM
The Capital Times sues Doyle over records request
The Capital Times filed suit Thursday against Gov. Jim Doyle, charging the governor’s office took too long to comply with an open records request submitted June 4.
The suit, filed in Dane County Circuit Court, names Doyle and his attorney, Chandra Miller Fienen, claiming they withheld letters written for and against nine finalists for three Dane County judicial openings.
Although the state does not have a set time for complying with requests, the law requires information be made available to the public in a timely manner.
The governor’s office made the records available July 8, the day Doyle announced Amy Smith, Nicholas McNamara and Peter C. Anderson were his appointments to the Dane County Circuit Court.
“The governor’s office clearly delayed release of these records until moments before announcing the appointments in a calculated attempt to prevent a story,” said Paul Fanlund, editor of The Capital Times.
Lee Sensenbrenner, a spokesman for the governor, criticized the lawsuit.
“This lawsuit is over your impatience,” said Sensenbrenner, a former Capital Times reporter and editor. “Not over whether you got to see records. I want to make it clear that the paper saw the records.”
Maybe all the ethics complaints filed in AK and other states will have the effect of scaring legislators into keeping their noses cleaned.

Maybe Begich has had responses from constituents equally in favor and not in favor, so he is undecided.
Norah O’Donnell was just on MSNBC & said that she has an email from Meg on Monday where Meg re: the Simi Valley gig said “maybe she’s going to attend, maybe she’s not”
She also said that at the Fairbanks quitnic, her staff did not even know when she was arriving, and she slipped in the back door without their knowledge.
Norah said she doesn’t believe it’s Sarah’s staff that’s the problem, that it is Sarah herself. Also too….that “SP speaks with a crooked tongue! “
Nora o’donnell on MSNBC with Donny Deutsch – pretty good stuff.
On Monday (4 days ago) Nora got an e-mail from Meg Stapleton re the Reagan Library event. Meg said “We may attend, we may not attend.” Nora marvels at how they are unable to say “no,” and they keep organizers waiting.
Is it just me, or is this unbelievably RUDE? Donny says Palin is now silent because she has nothing to say. Nora points out that Palin does not seem to trust ANYONE. At the beginning of the show, Deutsch makes a comment about Palin (innocuous comment) and Nora says “Donny, STOP MAKIN’ STUFF UP!” Only thing that could have been better is if Nora had added “in honor of our soldiers!”
Sorry, but I’m like a dog with a bone on this “book deal” of Palin’s. From CBS13.com dated 5/13/09:
If terms of the book deal aren’t leaked by next spring, at least some of the details will be revealed in Palin’s next financial disclosure forms with the Alaska Public Offices Commission. Income next must be reported on March 15, 2010. However, if she isn’t paid in full by Dec. 31, some income may fall over to the next year’s report.
Palin’s book will address, and complicate, the push-pull between home and public life. With the release date just one year away, the governor will have to work quickly. Barnett said that the governor has formed an outline in her mind, but has yet to start writing. Burnham said Palin did not submit any writing samples when she met with HarperCollins executives in Washington, earlier this year. She will work with a collaborator, to be determined.
So, 2 major questions: #1: Since she’s no longer gov, did she already release a financial disclosure form for this year?
#2: Anyone seen a “collaborator” around? And I don’t mean Meg Stapletongue, Kristan Coleslaw or any of her bffs…
“Don’t try running up on $a’ra’ra or I have special orders to taze you on the spot.”
“Wanna Dance?”
“Hey Blur Boy, I have a special suprise for you in my pocket”
Seagull and Lori: Do you think the “bright people” out there have finally come to the conclusion that Palin wants the money, the glory, but NOT the work?
Saw Norah also.too. I was hoping she had some real dirt.
Grandma68: I think the collaborator (or ghostwriter rather) is some Christian magazine author, If I am not mistaken. Big surprise, huh?
Missy Quittypants is keeping quiet, and will come out with blast and will end in a whimper. She’ll go away for a few years after her whimper and try hard to make a come back, but her followers will have dumped her for now twittering or “keeping ” in touch with them. Her followers eventually will be her worst critics.

Re: Palin’s book “collaborator”

Here’s the piece from ADN. http://community.adn.com/adn/node/141281
Also, AKM wrote about it some time back–you can search for “ghostwriter”
Blooper, have you seen him or her around, or are they just makin’ stuff up on their own? From the same article I quoted, Harper is also publishing the same book through their “christian” publishing arm, so, yeah, no surprise. Looks like Palin is still clinging to her religion and guns, eh?

I’m just wondering if there are any mental institutions up there with a new patient.
I still think she was about to be impeached (possible drug use?) and she was given the choice to resign or have it come out in the open during an impeachment. The silence you hear now is her in rehab where there are no cell phones allowed.
oops and I meant to also say her 28 day stay in rehab is preventing her from going to CAlifornia
IMO, rehab could be funny, but mental institution, not so much.

He’s not on retainer. He’s acting as a book agent, but a lawyer, and book agents get a percentage of the deal–usually 15% but in this guy’s case maybe 20%. I think his office also represents public figures going on speaking tours and he probably has a subagent doing the preliminary negotiations with radio and TV, for which again they would take a percentage.
Notice in his recent denial about the Clear Channel story he said that “SHE” had not talked to anyone about doing radio. Of course “she” hasn’t; Sarah wouldn’t be brought in at the preliminary stages. As far as I’m concerned, the wording of the denial confirmed the rumor.

The Hampton Hillbillies…..will they survive, anything other than shopping….Watch out Macys
————————————
For those that caught Letterman last night he is no longer claiming she is ‘ shopping at Bloomingdales ‘ either.
(Can’t remember the Store he referred to in the joke ? )
Now that she quit…He said.. Her new job was as a ‘ perfume spritzer ‘ at.????
I’ll bet she would be more than happy to be referred to as a slu^*Y Flight attendant NOW.
He also made sure he used the word ‘ gutteral ‘ in one of his jokes. His joke writers are watching. This won’t end anytime soon.
Candy, yes…but if the book deal falls through, there will be legal ramifications. She’ll have to return the advance (I expect she understands now that there are bigger barracudas out there than she is). Lawyers don’t work for nothing, nor do agents. And then, there’s Lynn Vincent, who you know isn’t working as a charity. : )

****************************************************
IzzyLene Consulting is named for the nickname of Meg’s daughter, Isabella Helene.
In the Time magazine article, it talked about how Sarah spent her time reviewing what people were saying about her. I would imagine she is still checking the internet for comments. There is something wrong with the lady as she appears thinner and her hands are almost skeletal and her breathing, and incomplete thoughts indicate some kind of problem. Time will tell as issues and problems will surface as people closer will not be filled with fear and start talking about the problems.
I wonder what kind of fallout there’s going to be by having Ziegler “hosting” that California event.
For anyone who’s seen that blind date thing he was on, it seems the height of insanity to have him “hosting” an event full of Republican women. Not to mention his oh-so-bored air of superiority at the viewing of his documentary masterpiece. (ha – now that made me giggle!)
Can you imagine?? Yikes.

Simi Valley local area news paper:
http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2009/jul/31/palin-not-coming-to-reagan-library/
Comments are really funny. At some point, won’t these organizers get angry with Palin for backing out of speaking engagements and then blaming the organizers because, as Meg said, she NEVER agreed to appear?
BTW, we now have the answer to the question—Who will Palin blame next? Well, well—even while in hiding she is blaming the organizers of the event in California for “misinterpreting” Palin’s RSVP. Amazing.
Did someone say rehab ??

Well, that’s funny, I didn’t even look at the comments, but Simi is the reddest part of Ventura County. After the Nov election, the paper said something like “If the Rs can’t win in Thousand Oaks, the party is in big trouble.” TO is right next to SV but I think both cities got bluer after the Northridge EQ of 1994. That or all the scientists from around the world that work at Amgen in TO.

Correction: How will this money be used. Sorry.
Actually, it may have been a Freudian slip using “sued”–thinking about Palin suing. LOL

Speaking of the ADN… I was browsing there yesterday to see if they were continuing the ‘ positive spin ‘ stories. I went to ‘ The Ear ‘ to see if “The Queen” was still on the Throne in that part of the Castle.
Ears last post was July 25 th before she quit. I posted on the Open Thread yesterday her quotes. Calling Begich the ” Boy Senator ” and a snarky reference to him as a ‘ workaholic ‘ because he is getting so much work done and getting praise and Awards.
If you are over there…See if you agree that she is trying to stay in the ” Mean Girls Club “. ( probably friends with Grimes as well…. same attitude )

@Honesty in Gov: Perfume spritzer at Nordstrom.
Letterman has been sick all week, turned out to be a tick bite that had developed into anaplasmosis (parasites got into some white blood cells). Each night he took his temperature: 100, 101, 102! By Thursday he was finally diagnosed and got proper medication. Paul prompted him by asking if he was so sick why didn’t he just take the night off. Maybe it was a dig; Letterman’s response was that as long as he could walk, he wouldn’t walk away from the show. (Remember, he jokes about McCain canceling at the last minute to save the economy. Wonder where Sarah got the idea that walking out was a good idea). By the way, Friday’s show is usually taped earlier in the week, so jokes may be a little out of date.
Chris Matthews & Hardball are going to talk about Sarah canceling her speaking engagement.

Is quitting quitting a double negative? If so it should be a positive. A negative times a negative is a positive right?
But if that was the case she would still be Governor and that would be a negative…. definitely not a positive… Soooo ???
What gives? The math doesn’t work.
Caption: “Hey Officer, can you do this?”
OK, found the article in the Star, and Simi did go to the Rs. HOWEVER:
“Obama’s performance in California and in Ventura County was just an exaggerated version of what he did nationwide.”
Thousand Oaks is a perfect illustration. It represents, Broesamle said, “the archetype, if you will, of upper-middle-class, suburban, Main Street America.”
Thousand Oaks has a median household income that’s almost double the national average, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Three out of four residents are white, and three out of four are homeowners.
In short, he said, it’s a natural Republican constituency, the type of place that could always be counted on to vote for Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush. Registered Republicans outnumber Democrats by 11 percentage points.
And yet, Obama won Thousand Oaks by a fairly comfortable margin: 50.7 percent to McCain’s 46.7 percent.
“If you’re the Republican Party and you don’t win Thousand Oaks, you need to go back to the drawing board,” Broesamle said.
Once you’re there, he said, you need to figure out what the party’s identity really is. Is the GOP a party of preachers like Mike Huckabee, businessmen like Mitt Romney, or military men like John McCain?

Palin will never quit quitting….which is a triple negative…so it’s actually still a negative.
However….since Palin will never quit quitting, it’s really a positive for progressives.
Therefore….mathematically speaking….never quitting quitting is indeed postive except for the subset of Palin and her Bots…who will always remain negative regardless of sign.
Gotta love math.
JHop is right on about sarah being deposed. No lawyer would let it happen. She is a loose cannon and a pathological liar. It would be a disaster for her.

Had practice keeping my mouth shut when working in Corp America in NYC, but had a funny incident about keeping a poker face in NY, right before leaving that company.
My boss and I had a meeting in my boss’s conference room with a Harvard MBA guy (whose office I once borrowed to work on something so I could sorta be in two places at once. MBA guy’s father had died a couple of days before, family stuck out of state because they all were sick and couldn’t fly back. His boss was a complete shmuck and very demanding and offered nothing compassionate about the death of his father. So I had some compassion for him, given the jerk boss, whom I’d met and thought was a jerk before moving to NYC. Not that I’m opinionated or anything.)
Now a couple of years after the death, my boss and MBA guy’s boss were equals, but my guy was a NICE demanding boss, and I got along well with him. Harvard MBA guy is leading a project, trying to tell us what he needs from us for an hour. We ask clarifying questions OVER AND OVER AND OVER and still the same jibberish project management buzz words keep falling out of his mouth. Like ADD spew. For an hour.
Finally the meeting is over, he leaves and my boss closes the door again. He says to me, “I don’t like to ever talk about other people, but is he from another planet or am I?”
We had a good laugh about that, but I still had to get the high visibility project thing done, and it was a PITA for me. Kinda didn’t really matter anyway because shortly thereafter, we both left and started a new company. Post 9/11, boss and I traveled probably on 200 flights together and after airport chaos, I just couldn’t stand it any more and wanted to be back home in CA.

nswfmCA – I know PITA. Not many use this term!!!
On the question of August 4th hearing the docket says oral arguments. My guess is that is all it will be. This is an administrative type matter, not a trial.
There were probably affidavits filed, and there may have been cross-examination on those affidavits, but it was likely done in a lawyer’s office. The transcripts of that, if any, would be provided to the judge. The lawyers will have filed briefs in advance as well.
In fact, if they do it in AK like they do it here, the “oral arguments” will mostly be a quick summation of the briefs, and an opportunity for the judge to ask questions to clarify and test those arguments. In and out, probably in under an hour.
Then the judge will rule, maybe that day, maybe later. They review all the written materials in advance, and unless there is something in oral argument that changes their first impressions, they are often ready with a draft judgement and order that they may issue after a half-hour recess.
leenie17 said: “I have struggled for many years with a close relative who has psychological problems that she refuses to acknowledge. It is always someone else’s fault (sound familiar?) and anyone who questions the abnormal behavior must be crazy themselves. She is also a master of manipulation and has everyone who is not closely related to her absolutely convinced that she is the most stable, sweet, caring person alive (sea of pee, anyone?).”
leenie, my understanding is that many psychologists/psychiatrists do not like to treat people with NPD simply because the NPDs cannot acknowledge they have a problem. I have no idea if that is what is wrong with SP; it just seems like it might be. I have thought about the idea that she might be bipolar, but the NPD quite handily explains the highs and lows we have seen, too. We can only speculate. However, if the Dalai Lama were to be interviewed about SP, he would say that we need to look for common ground; among other things, we all wish to be happy. SP wants that, too. I feel very strongly that I do not like her, but I, in all fairness, do not know her personally. What I try to do (sometimes unsuccessfully) is to focus on her policies. They are fair game, and they are (understatement ahead) crappy. And, yes, she is the mistress of manipulation, but many, many folks who aren’t closely related to her are not buying it.

The very nature of my job sort of dictates that all my clients are PITA’s. It’s my stock in trade.
Caption: Gasline? Had I know, it would have been a BLUE suit!
I call ‘em like I see ‘em. Sometimes to their faces, sometimes not. There were a lot of PITA projects at that company. PITA people, too. It wasn’t until the end of my 7 years at that co that I worked with the nice boss. But all the practice helped me with the other meetings we had to go to, people we met in the industry, etc.
Now, I’m doing something completely different, but would gladly work for/with him again.

I’m thinking they want to draw this out until the Tennessee discovery info comes out and have a peek at those email to see if Palin was involved in any way in the Johnston’s case…
Or not…
Did anyone hear about “A Sibel Edmonds ‘Bombshell’ – Bin Laden Worked for U.S. Until 9/11″
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7332
WTF?
Didn’t Sibel have a bunch of different personalities?
Actually, I’m beginning to believe that I have a bunch of different personalities. Hold on a second, (will you guys please shut up. I’m trying to talk to the nice people on this blog.) Sorry about that.

This is the link to the 2009 Value Voters Summit page that has the weekend schedule. Saturday’s Breakout Sessions are listed with descriptions. Here’s one of them…
—THUGOCRACY – FIGHTING THE VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY
“Hate crime” legislation, removal of conscience protections for health care workers, the Fairness Doctrine, groups like ACORN intimidating voters and committing voter fraud, “Card Check” legislation to create a permanent majority – President Obama and the Democratic Party is doing all it can to suppress free speech that they disagree with and that threatens their plans for a “permanent majority” in power. Political pundit Michael Barone calls it a “thugocracy” and “Gangster Government,” how real is this threat and how can we fight it?—
…of coarse Bill O’reilly is being honored at this propaganda fest!
Okay, to lighten things up for myself, I have another caption……..

We’ve certainly used others in the same way. The list would be exhaustive, especially under ANY Republican administration.

OT- President Obama isn’t perfect. But, thank goodness, he is smart and works hard. Out of every single candidate from all parties, he shined. He won by a landslide which says that most Americans were paying attention. So that is my good thought for today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Very astute observation Polly…and truth be known, Alaska was probably closer than reported on Nov. 4th…but the President cannot do it alone. It’s going to take each one of us, collectively doing what “we” can to bring about much need change and restoration to the nation.
August will be an interesting month ~ but we have 3.5 yrs. to get it together.
A cartoonist/comedian and satirist has put together a little 1 minute ‘ radio demo ‘ of $arah Palin. Kinda Funny. I sort of understood the Dummy in the clip…. and not so much the REAL $arah.

Heck, after 9-11 all U.S. flights in the U.S. were grounded except for a series of flights across the U.S. that rounded up the Bin Laden family, courtesy of the Bush crime family, and flew them back home. H.W. Bush was at a meeting with a Bin Laden the morning the planes hit the towers.
OK, don’t ask me why I go swimming in that sea of pee – but I did, and this is TOO FUNNY of a delusional post to keep under wraps:
“Sarah might not even be interested in running for president, maybe she just wants to be an open honest voice for the country. Something politics won’t let you do. As much as I would like her to be president, but if she can do more without “The Title” let Sarah Palin go down in history as the first “Untitled US President”
bwaaahhaha! If SHE does not win the election, SHE is still going to be our President! SHE does NOT need a “title” to be POTUS! ROTF!

Lori… I have a question…? Will $he be Governing from the ” Wasilla Whitehouse” ?
I guess Todd has another thing to add to his ‘ honey-do ‘ List.
Trip to Home Depot… pick up 5 Gallon buckets of White Paint.
honestyinGov: You betcha! And ALL the pretend world leaders will be in pretend teleconferences with her, day and night! The economic summits too!
Sure, we won’t see it on tv, the Press will NOT be allowed! But make no mistake, SHE will be the REAL POTUS in 2012, and Obama will merely have the title. SHE is the most powerful and beautiful woman in the pretend White House!
Kristan Cole: Kristan Tanner, Kristan Mosley, Kristan Cheryl Mosley… Um mmm…been there and broke up a family unit (by the way, the worst act a human can do to another), that is to break up a family unit. Then, do the bidding of an unethical leader and be in charge of a fund which is of questionable legality. Is she the devil in “bumbits”!
Soooo… looks like they finally found The Dud, eh?
sally: did you mean “bumpits” – the hair thingy? “bumbits (bum bits, sounds like those pieces left in the toilet bowl, clinging to the rim). LOL.
Come to think of it, you are correct – she is the devil in bumbits.

Ha ha ha…can’t stop laughing. Thank you Lori! Yes, I meant that! Thanks for the correction. The pieces left in the toilet bowl would fit the situation we find ourself in. Sorry, it is personal and she’s definitely a devil in bumbits! Sorry, just been a long two years and the valley mafia is getting on my nerves. Looking for some laughs and humor to guide us through this mess!
Just remembered something about the Harvard MBA guy that you might find funny.
He was the special project management guy for the comapny as it was trying to transform, and after boss and I left the company, I had lunch with a coworker who went to the update meetings.
She said they would go around the room of 40 people who would report if their projects were on schedule (green) running into problems (yellow) or behind schedule (red). In the meetings, his project was green green green green at all the meetings, per his reports until the meeting two days before it was to go live, then it was red.
Nice management, Mr. Baffle-Them-With-BS. We got a good laugh. But she didn’t know the irony of it.
I still think she’s been partaking of Wasilla’s famous homegrown product: methamphetamine, a/k/a speed. The heavy breathing, sweating, etc. are all symptoms. The tweeting tw@t was tweaking! Now, she’s crashed. A few days’ sleep & she’ll get up & start “communicating” again. That’s my theory, & I’m sticking to it! Qiviting Quitter Queen quacks (or tweets, or does something birdy). I’m reminded of the Time magazine cover from the movie version of The Dead Zone (Martin Sheen holding up an infant as a shield while being shot at by Christopher Walken): Caption: No Future.
There is a video circulating about Alaska bloggers that contains factual inaccuracies, misrepresentations and copyright violations using images of individuals owned by them without their permission. Legal advice is being sought. I’d ask that we not discuss it or link to it please. Thanks!
You should know that RAM gave a respectful note on not outing AKM. She is a lady.
