Palin Word Cloud

palin word cloud

Somehow the word cloud seems like the most appropriate way to digest communications by Sarah Palin.  I like to think of this like a sonogram of her brain.  Of course some of the other words are the ones we remember more clearly, but this is basically the filler.  This is the bread on which the rogue condiments are spread.

I’ve read the word cloud in my mind, in the imaginary voice of Sarah Palin and it’s pretty funny.  I’ll let you amuse yourself with that.

A non-Palin post is coming soon, and then it’s back to the grind.  My goal is to blog the book by the weekend without completely losing my sanity.  The odds are 50/50.

    OK gang, my latest million dollar idea. Maybe AKM could be set for life with this one. We need word cloud refrigerator magnets! You know, like the poetry magnets for the refrigerator? It would, of course, have a ton of alsos and tos and progressin’s. Absolutely no ings allowed. Then, with adult beverage in hand, you too could write your very own Palin speech (or whatever) on your very own refrigerator. Guaranteed weight loss!!! And hours of fun at parties. AKM, If you do it I’ll split the proceeds with you and we can both quit our day jobs (or better yet, give it to someone in need or towards the political candidates of your choice).

    OMGNo Gravatar says:

    Very funny!

    I just read that she has sold more than 300,000 copies of her book to her die hard fans (I’m sure there are some skeptics represented by that number but….) This really distresses me. It has been pointed out and been proven that she has lied and that she is vindictive and unhinged and yet these desperate people are willing to pay full price for her sage words (in this economy no less). What has happened to the country and what will happen to the world the longer she is given the opportunity to spew her hate-filled rhetoric?

    Palin has become more than a laughing stock and is now a greater danger to the country than she has ever been.

    I read an article today about Obama’s encouragement for Iran to accept the proposal of the US and the international community regarding uranium enrichment. This is serious business, the stakes are high. Then I watched the Hannity interview with Palin when he asked about how she would handle Iran. During her (not terribly) unique “sanctions” answer she referred to Iran (several times) as Iraq (I’m sure you’ve all seen the tape).

    After laughing and shaking my head until I was dizzy, I wondered what Iranian leaders might think about this woman as a prominent member of the political establishment. Remember, that during her Walters’ interview, she said that Israel should just go ahead and build whatever they wanted in Palestinian territory. I’m sure that will help the peace process and will help build US relationships within the Arab world.

    Then I wondered how international leaders, especially those in the Middle East, will react if they thought that this woman might just be the GOP’s candidate for President.

    Good news for you AKM… Sarah’s praying for you! :-)

    Here’s her full quote: “These are probably some lonely people, some shallow people who want to take a shot like that and we need to pray for these people for one,” Palin said, then added, “we also need to keep things in perspective.”

    I like the thought of a game — what about using tiles like in Scrabble with a random draw of a certain number of tiles (say seven or eight) that you would have to use to create a Palin “word salad” — some tiles (the ones from the word cloud, for instance) could be worth more if used. It could be played and scored like Scrabble but without the board.

    Watching from New Jersey: I’m not thinking about her fans at all. Can’t you just imagine a mudstock and how much fun it could be? Then you can get someone who is good at mimicking Shatner to read them. Or maybe Andrew Halcro would come by and do it in his tux (but only if he brings his butler with him.

    Trish: thanks. But remember, no ‘ings’ allowed on any words.

    OMG- this is going to keep me entertained for hours while I’m at the gym (and everyone will think I’m filling out my weight lifting forms-ha,ha).

    Maybe I should sell them on Zazzle? Since they were so appropriate about removing offensive material…I was kind of hoping AKM would put them in her store….

    Next…what should we call them? I’m sure that SP would threaten to sue if I used her name.

    ______________

    Our enemies would love it because they would know how weak we would be as a Nation with Palin at the helm. She would start an international incident in no time. Guaranteed. When she claimed (in the Couric interview) that Putin was flying into US airspace and she stopped him, I thought, OMG, she would have us in a world war in the blink of an eye because she just spouts off and has no idea what she is saying.

    Claiming that Russia was flying into US airspace when they did no such thing. Or spouting off about Iraq or Isreal…. You can’t do that…… She doesn’t get it.

We knew our abilities..and..rather than reaching out across ‘ability divides’..we hunkered down..protecting our views/strengths and growing creative thoughts..and..did not help. If we did help..we did not ..do it enough. Therefore..all these people who are hungry now..have been..Hungry..massively, obsessively ..HUNGRY for someone..who spoke as they did, who releases energy..as they do..is off-hand..casual..and thin-of-content. Palin..validates..Them! In her rise..such as it ..may be..I am..Complicit. I have never been anything but nurturring..helpful..but..when faced with such people who simply were thin of ability..I did not..help them..move forward..enough. I am stunned.

    Watching from New Jersey: I’m not thinking about her fans at all. Can’t you just imagine a mudstock and how much fun it could be? Then you can get someone who is good at mimicking Shatner to read them. Or maybe Andrew Halcro would come by and do it in his tux (but only if he brings his butler with him.
    Trish: thanks. But remember, no ‘ings’ allowed on any words.
    OMG- this is going to keep me entertained for hours while I’m at the gym (and everyone will think I’m filling out my weight lifting forms-ha,ha).
    Maybe I should sell them on Zazzle? Since they were so appropriate about removing offensive material…I was kind of hoping AKM would put them in her store….
    Next…what should we call them? I’m sure that SP would threaten to sue if I used her name.

    OK… I’ve decided…
    I’m going to make a magic eight-ball in the shape of Palin’s empty, empty head. In place of her wide, blank, dizzy stare I’m going to use little cubes with one of these words she likes to use. Shake it up, and write down the results. That pretty much sums her up.

    I love word clouds. I hate it when the word cloud generator (here, I guess, AP) goes artsy-fartsy and mixes horizontal and vertical to make it more compact. (The point isn’t to be cool-looking, it’s to convey a summary of information content).

    That aside, I also wonder that “God” didn’t make it, and, based on AKM’s synopsis, where is “Neanderthal”?

    If anyone is interested in telling Ft. Bragg their opinion on letting Palin on the base for her book signing tour, here’s the number to call at Ft. Bragg # 910-907-5290

    Palin should take her book selling tour to commercial venues….NOT to military bases when she is a good deal responsible for the 400X increase in death threats against the commander-in-chief of the US military.

    Pass this number along. It’s outrageous she’s been allowed to peddle her lies and subversive politics against PO onto a military establishment.
