Open Thread – Two Plies of Palin
What is there to say? Here’s a gift for the person who has everything. Because I’d feel pretty safe in betting they don’t have THIS – a gen-u-wine roll of embroidered Sarah Palin toilet paper. You betcha.
“Embroidered Toilet Paper,
first sheet is machine embroidered
So if you really wanted to, you could place it in an acid free pouch and save it forever. Journal about it, show people you have a great sense of humorI prefer to embroider on charmin tissue, however if you prefer something different please let me know in the message to seller.”
Only the first square has the embroidery, so really the fun would be gone fairly quickly, unless of course you follow the suggestion in the items description and purchase an “acid-free pouch” so that Palin’s smiling face may look out at you from the linen closet until the end of time. And by all means, don’t forget to “journal about it.”
February 17, 2010
Dear Diary,
The day I’ve been waiting for finally arrived! I checked the mailbox and saw a box! Yup, I got my six dollar roll of Sarah Palin toilet paper at last. It’s the most awesome day, ever!!! I hope I get an acid-free pouch for my birthday so I can keep it forever and ever. This one’s on Charmin, but I’m going to save up and make a special request for Cottonelle. Maybe I’ll start a collection and get one on each brand!!!!!They have a George W. Bush roll, and also Jack Kennedy, but Sarah totally rocks!! I think I’ll bring it to work tomorrow and put it on my desk so everyone can see it and be jealous. Hahahaha! Losers.
Love it Ha Ha
Oh my . . . .
LA mudpups: Leah Burton & Cenk Uygur will be speaking in Santa Monica March 5
http://godsownparty.com/blog/
And this from a conservative Republican on why Sarah won’t be President:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/17/AR2010021703507.html?hpid=opinionsbox1
By the way, I believe George Will has a DS son but Mr. Will doesn’t see it fitting to use his son for his professional gain.
Who ARE these people?
eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
and ickickick, also, too.
TP for TeaParty Types, if she hasn’t already burned that bridge by telling the to assimilate with the Republ-ick Party. (They call my party the Democrat Party, so I respond with Republ-ick Party. Neener neener booboo)
The “artist” certainly got the lipstick right.
I envision some interesting “artwork” featuring this product…on little flags… in piles of poo…in Alassssssssssska and beyond. Now That would be something to journal about.
I have totally grossed myself out and feel So Fourth Grade.
*gigglegiggle $arah giggle poo-wipe gigglegiggle*
telling the = “telling them”
I don’t agree with many of George Will’s conservative views, but he does love (not Use) his son with special needs, and I admire that in a man, er, parent, er person.
Can you imagine the difference granny blah blah could make if she put even a fraction of her Snark Energy towards Advocacy? Possibilities for redemption, even, but I’m not holding my breath.
OMG @4 I don’t think she’ll ever be president either, but she still has the power to do much harm with her racist, divisive, holier-than-all screeds. Thank goodness (and AKM) most folks can see that now.
My son brought me a roll of SP toilet paper a month ago. The place he buys his cigars (a huge outlet here in NC, famous on the east coast) was giving them away with every purchase, along with others (he also has a roll with $100 bills printed on it). Every sheet has her face on it. Of course, I’m too “nice” to actually use it, but will save it as a reminder of how incompetence, lack of education, and general stupidity can earn you a lot of money.
Wow………we segue from retard to toilet paper……..only in the Palin Parallel Universe can this happen. Too funny !!
They just can’t stay out of the news (especially when it comes to money.) Bristol going after Levi to prove he made more money then he claims. Levi will never make the amount of money the Palin’s are raking in, why don’t they just settle for something reasonable and drive on? I don;t think they will be happy until they destroy him. See HuffPost front page.
Disgusting!
thatcrowwoman @6…I agree. She has already stirred the pot of hatred in the country and has done a lot of damage by inciting gun toting racist loons. The true haters in the US are her followers who have been inspired by her angry disingenuous and fallacious words. Who would have thought that a woman that Alaskans (not all but a large percentage) had once adored could change into the monster of divisiveness that she is now…and all for her own glory.
Sh*t happens!!!!
I want a S’error barf bag for every time she shows up on my TV.
For those that simply must have a roll of $P TP – http://www.demstore.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/scstore/DemStore/palin-toilet.html?L+scstore+frrk4507ff32af32+1266520351
Every sheet, there she is. They also have Bachmann , Bush and Cheney .
Morning All !
OT on the Open thread:
I dream in vivid detail and if I recall them, like last night’s, it seems nearly real. Well except when the scene suddenly changes… you know.
I had a dream last night and guess who was in it? Rachel Maddow! It was strange. She was my Pilates instructor on the last day of class. She was wearing a periwinkle jogging suit and her hair was everywhere. She gave us all candles (mine was purple) and came around and lit them for us. Mine kept going out and she came over twice to relight it for me. I remember sitting on the floor looking up at her at one point and her belly was visible where her jacket had ridden up!
Then suddenly there was a 4 foot sheetrock wall attached to some chairs in front of me and I had to move to the side so I could see…. That’s one of those weird dream sequences that come from nowhere. Rachel’s wardrobe changed to a flowing purple sari. Then we were all at desks and she gave us three sheets of paper with photocopies of charts and graphs and formulas…. certainly not Pilates-related!
I have no idea what any of this means! LOL
*waving to Rachel*
Many more details are floating around in my head, but I’ll spare you.
Well , since we are on the subject of toilet paper and sarah , this seems as good of a time as any to submit the following song.

Please Don’t Squeeze the Charlatan.
Ripley @14 – weird – I dreamt of Rachel last week. Had this very strong feeling that she was going to be faced with a set of important choices in the somewhat near future. Message of the dream seemed to be that any of the choices would turn out well, in its own way. I was going to post it here but decided just to send it to Fawnskin because we had been discussing dreams recently. I’ll have to go back and reread it. Details are fuzzy.
I think I have a new bit of respect for George Will. He has a son with DS, and yet, we don’t know that, he is not in our faces about it and I bet that is why he doesn’t care for the Thrilla from Wasilla.
A critique of the conservatives latest political gimmick – The Mt Vernon Statement – from a Constitutional scholar at the Notre Dame Progressive Blog, Lefty’s Last Cry.
The treatise opens with the rather peculiar declaration of “Constitutional Conservatism: A Statement for the 21st Century.” An open declaration of conservative principles is fine by me, but shamefully attempting to cloak these thoughts in the mantle of constitutional conservatism is an act worthy of ridicule, which we may now joyfully engage.
After a lengthy preface, of the typical counterfactual history that conservatives too often engage, we stumble upon their real intentions. Let’s take these misconceptions one at a time.
http://leftyslastcry.blogspot.com/2010/02/conservative-constitutional-pornography.html
Oh my, a million thoughts entered my head, but I just knew that AKM would throw me right splat in the middle of the mudflats so I’ll just say no comment.
Rachel Maddow will deliver the commencement address at Smith College this spring, and the student reaction at the all-women’s college couldn’t have been more positive.

OK, picture Sarah & Todd on the Maury Show with Track, for a DNA test (Todd … you are NOT the father). Of course, this will never happen in the “real world” but the OT is always good for a giggle or two.
Love, health, and peace to all.
I want to make it clear that the t.p. artist is not me! I also too live in Illinois by the Mississippi River (which I can see from my house if I were to stand on my roof, and that isn’t going to happen), and now I am going to have to wonder about my neighbors!
I am deep into researching some stuff to take before my city council. I sure wish I had a staff. Even a minion. Retirement is all well and good until I have to do things.
Have a lovely!

Palin is making the Bristol/Levi a national soap opera. I have ex-spouse-in-laws-former partners of my adult kids, but they are still part of my family, no matter what may be “wrong” with them, because they are parents of my grandchildren, and I give them cordial respect for their active roles. I want to help them, because their success is my grandchildren’s success. Stay strong Levi.
I like George Will. I don’t always agree with him, but at least he forms his opinions based on a knowledge of history and law, which is something I can respect. I think he was too soft on Palin in this piece, because I do think she’s asked for much of the treatment she’s received.
norwegian blue…thanks for the heads up on the leah burton event.
anybody want to join me in going in march ???

Watched Larry King last night. Judge Judy was his guest. I have always liked Judge Judy, but last night she ticked me off. She said she thought Palin was an intelligent woman!!! blaaaaaaaaaaaaa blaaaaaaaaaaaaa blaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

fawnskin mudpuppy as it happens i will be in LA on March 5, maybe i can join you there. does it cost money? and who is Leah Burton, never heard of her? Cenk i used to watch/listen to daily, lately not so much.
What’s the acid content of the toilet paper? Because I’m thinking….an acid free pouch won’t do you any good if the paper starts to deteriorate.
I just have to get one of those rolls of toilet paper. I will save it for when I have a really bad case of diarrhea. Consider it my symbolic response to what I think of Palin.
barbara…here you go…
i think that i’ll rsvp today

Has she started to demand licensing fees on all the classy condoms, TP, etc?
Most fitting she should profit from a$$wipe. :p
mlaiuppa,
I would guess it’s pretty acidic.
Well you know you’ve made the big time when you get your face embroidered on a roll of toilet paper! I sure hope it is biodegradable – you don’t want that image to last forever. While we are at it, and knowing how we all feel about the ex gov, now you can also piss on Sarah. As we have heard tell, it is better to be pissed off than pissed on.
I misread the title of the the thread – I thought it said “Two PILES of Palin”
Re: dreams. I only started watching Olbermann probably late last August or so. I’m trying to remember the topic of the first special comment I heard/saw. It was very impressive. Anyway, a couple of weks later I had a dream about him! Some of the details are now fuzzy but he was inside a mailbox. Yeah, think Agent 13 on “Get Smart”. I was supposed to be going to get him lunch or something. Yes, I did tell my husband about it.
The Public Option is back up, read Gryphen’s blog and write your Senators.
The comments on the article in this independent blog was encouraging:
http://rawstory.com/2010/02/exclusive-sanders-joins-8-dems-final-push-public-option/
Acid free is used to preserve textiles. Cheap paper (pulp) breaks down and yellows over time. I’m sure you’ve all seen really old paperback that are falling apart, brown on the edges, brittle. That’s from the acidic pulp paper.
You don’t want to store your wedding dress in that stuff.
Likewise, if you want to print a high quality book that will last, you don’t use cheap, acidic, pulp paper. You use acid free.
Putting this roll of toilet paper in an acid-free pouch (which I’m sure this person also sells) is totally useless. But it caters to the Sarah Palin R-bots.
I signed a petition this morning supporting the Public Option. Go Public Option, Go!

Fawnskin, I’ll check my schedule on the 5th. I know my dad is having surgery on 3/2. Will let you know.
The news is eerily quiet on the Palin front…she’s not attacking anyone, she’s not accusing anyone, she’s not picking any fights, she’s not whining, she’s not spreading lies and inventing controversies, she’s not even inciting violent acts. It’s rather refreshing, how I wish the calm would last.

Can someone please explain the latest saga in the ongoing Bristol vs. Levi drama? I don’t understand the objective, if there is one beyond bankrupting Johnston.
Well, I enjoyed a happy moment just now when checking out HuffPo and noticing that our favorite Princess Quittypants did NOT make the “Big News’ bar at the top of the page. I think it’s the first time that her name has not been included. Could her blazing star be finally fading??? Yup…definitely gives me some of that hope-y, change-y feeling!

On a more positive note, Franni Franken is going after Batsh!t Bachman’s plan to ‘wean people off’ of Social Security. Apparently, Franni Franken’s father died when she was a baby, and her mother depended on SS survivor benefits to support the herself and her five children. Franken said, “The idea that a member of Congress would advocate pulling the safety net out from under seniors and families who depend on it every month is absolutely terrifying to me.”
Just found me another member of the Franken family to LOVE!!!

What a blissfully Palin free day! I think I’ll sign off now, with the only reference to Palin being Tiny Fey’s announcement of a possible Palin impression revival for her upcoming April SNL appearance.
Mrs Paylin is coming to Tyler,Texas,not too far from me.Those who have been to the Glenn Beck appearance get first crack at the tickets. The interesting thing to note is the price of tickets.The most expensive is $100-the cheapest is only $35 !!
I think they will have to adjust her speaking fees soon.
#66 @leenie17
Maybe Bachmann and her family need to be “weaned off” those farm subsidies they’ve been receiving for years. Rumor has it that she may be facing a challenger for her seat. Good news.
My parents died young and SS helped me to get through college and I was barely functioning at the time. VERY important.
The big boys can play all the big money games they want, as long as there is a safety net for US the victims of their games!!!
I will coin a new phrase: Compassionate Capitalism. That is what Democrats want.
We want protections for regular people and an equal playing field, then everyone can just be as greedy as they want but people have protections: medical care, education, old-age security. Take care of those things and then let capitalism rule.
Austintx if you are still around. sis just called and said the I R S building in Austin was hit this morning by a guy who set fire to his house and then got in a plane and flew it into the building because he had issues with Collections Department. better call and find out s’up with my buddy.
And according to Sarah it’s a green product of the green lumber industry. so its decorative environmentally friendly, clean humor (no non-satire) rememberance of her.
Could this gift also have the same cultural characteristics as her book?

This is an interesting site to poke around, tons of state by state data comparisons on ‘everything’.

Its not IRS unless than have offices there. IRS in in south east Austin. This is north west.
Its the Eschelon building which apparently is an office building. Video does look pretty seriousl
The Palin-Bachmann comparisons are too numerous to mention, but always fun to think about. In this interview with the St. Cloud Times, Bachmann excuses her lack of Congressional achievement by claiming to be a “fourth year freshman.” lol No, no, sweetie – that was college. Next time try “all of them.”
[Saint Cloud Times] Reporter Dave Aeikens asked the Congresswoman [Bachmann]; “Tell me about three things, you’re in your fourth year now, tell me about three bills or amendments that you’ve done in your time in Washington, that you’ve gotten passed, that are most beneficial to the people of the 6th Congressional District?”
Congresswoman Bachmann, in her own words:
“I am in the deep minority in Congress and a fairly new freshman, so I don’t have substantive bills that I have been able to pass.”

“The Hill: House Majority Whip James Clyburn said Thursday that a public option for health insurance “could very well” be part of a final health overhaul bill after more than a dozen senators have signed on to a letter asking that the proposal be a part of the final overhaul bill and that reconciliation be used to pass the bill. “‘So I think so far as the public option is concerned, if you’re going to do a 50-vote or a 50-plus-one strategy, rather than a 60-vote strategy, I’m not too sure that the public option cannot be a part of this plan,’ Clyburn said during an appearance on MSNBC. … Clyburn’s remarks are the strongest signal yet from a member of the Democratic leadership that the controversial public option could be reincorporated into healthcare legislation.” In the House, 119 members have pledged their support for reintroduction of the public option into a bill (O’Brien, 2/18).”

Congress needs to take action. Tell Congress pass President Obama’s plan to hold the Wall Street banks accountable.
Text:
We urge Congress to support President Obama’s plan to rein in the greedy, reckless schemes of the Wall Street banks and protect all of us from abusive credit card companies and mortgage lenders. We need to put back in place the rules that were set up after the Great Depression to keep banks from growing too-big-to-fail and putting our pensions, college funds and retirement savings at risk. The Obama plan will ensure the taxpayers will never again have to bail out big banks who then turn around and use our money to pay massive bonuses to their CEOs.

I think you got it one. That and just becasue the Palins enjoy the power that inflicting pain on someone who is weaker than they are can bring.
I think the more the world knows about how Sarah is using her money and power to harass this young man in his efforts to be a father to his child, the more red neck males will fall off her band wagon, because they will have been through this kind of thing with a divorce or child custody.
Ugly is as ugly does. Remember that Bristol, it comes much sooner than you can imagine, look what it has done to your mom in about 5 years. Pretty woman to hag. And you are next in line for the throne and the price that is paid to claim it.

This poor schmo just couldn’t catch a break, and yet, I’m finding it hard to feel too much sympathy for him.
For example, he mentions early on in his diatribe that he bought into that ridiculous premise that private persons could declare themselves pastors, ministers, whatever, and declare themselves tax-exempt. That little scam was going around in the early 80s. Many of the NY Firefighters were going to seminars and buying into this nonsense. I know this first-hand because my ex-husband was a New York City firefighter for over 35 years. I remember meetings and discussions and telling my ex that it was a tax-evasion scheme pure and simple and that the IRS would not look too kindly upon it. Fortunately he did not pursue that avenue.
Then he mentions a year in which he earned no income and did not file a tax return. Duh. You have to file a tax return, regardless. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Then he sort of puts the blame on his accountant for not reporting his wife’s undeclared income. Anyone sense a dichotomy here?
Then he has a problem with what seems to be a clause in the tax code relating to what seems to be a third-party employee or what I take to be a “subcontractor” if I am reading his grievance correctly? As a subcontractor one is responsible for reporting and filing one’s own taxes. I know this because I’ve been a subcontractor.
The one thread that I read through this whole unfortunate narrative is that he is not responsible for any of his missteps and actions. He is just an unfortunate victim of circumstance and Mr. IRS. While it’s true, the IRS can be an SOB and can and does take people’s homes and property away from them, DON’T try to game the system in the first place! Start out being honest and you don’t go too far wrong with them.
This poor soul apparently had a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he didn’t have to fly his plane into a building with the intention of harming innocent people. That negates any pity I may feel for him.
austintx—- I am between Shreveport,La and the Texas state line.
So who thinks the GOP and Mrs Paylin will be calling the pilot a terrorist? Who votes for Patriot?
Leaningcurv……..I think Scarah is trying to bleed as much legal money out of Levi as she can. She’s going to try every trick in the book to make him spend money fighting her. Can you imagine going up against a lying conniving piece of crap like her with loads of money to blow?
Levi knows this about them and fully expected this would be how it went. Way last summer he said ( I’m paraphrasing) whoever is most lawyered up is gonna come out on top. Scarah probably said that to his face, to threaten and scare him. The Palin’s S UCK.
I hope Levi covers all his bases, and I wish he had a better lawyer. I also hope the judge takes everything into consideration and is fair to Levi, his family and Trigg. Have you seen Mercede’s latest post? Gryphen has the story the latest BS move.
(Mercede) “Recently I have become more and more baffled and heartbroken. I can not wrap my head around how one family could be so cruel and ruthless. Why would one want to deny their child the love of both familys? It’s crystal clear I cherish that precious baby boy with every bone in my body. I would do and will do anything and everything I can for my nephew. What happened to FAMILY VALUES?!?”
Money values, money rules, Scarah and Toad worship money, I hope it makes them miserable.

———————————————–
“Deep Minority” = nobody is a a pure repbulican (or wacko) as I am
“fairly new freshman” = not learned how to play well with others ( 4 yrs)
“no substantive bills passed” = too busy pushing my own adjenda to actually produce a bill or compromise with these questionable (unpure) republicans & a bunch of commie socialist fascist liberal democrats

Actually, not true. Van Fleabag is VERY busy, giving notice to Levi about taking his deposition only 12 days before the actual event, and 1 day before a trial conference before the judge. Also, he’s issued subpoenaes duces tecum for 6, I believe, Vanity Fair, CNN, Playboy, CBS Interactive, National Enquirer for depositions in March. Wants them to provide evidence of 1099s for money he made last year and any contractual obligations into the future for Levi.
This is probably going to cost a load, since he may have to hire out of state attorneys to do some of the depositions since some states don’t allow those w/o bar privileges in their state to do them. I hope he doesn’t try to get attorney’s fees from Levi for all this overdone discovery!
The bad thing about AK law is that Levi won’t get a chance to find out what Bristol’s income is, unless the judge rules on split custody–state law doesn’t require the custodial parent to reveal income. Only then will the extent of Bristol’s little nest egg be revealed–and where the attorney’s fees are coming from for her representation.
Oh, Gryphen has the scoop on the custody/support case, since Van Fleabag evidently leaked it to TMZ…along with copies of the subpoenas and Levi’s last paystub.
Isn’t Levi suing for joint custody of Tripp?
wow, that guy is calling for a revolt. I wonder how many other whack jobs will start doing crazy things now. Thanks a lot Scarah and republicans. We can now be afraid of our own citizen terrorists.
Hey whackjobs, you can take your own life but leave the rest of us alone.
BTW, this guy could afford a plane, but couldn’t pay his taxes?

I find myself with a big grin on my face and sometimes tears rolling down my cheeks when I listen to them. These two are “our” Rachel and “our” President. I’m glad they’re part of my life.
oh my gosh, that caused a lot of damage. How many people were hurt or killed?

“Olivarez fled the building from a fire escape and when she got outside she saw people trapped in Echelon building 1. All the windows she could see were blown out.
“People were screaming and crying for us to help them,” she said.
* Joe Williams, co-founder of the company, and Cynthia Reed, her boss, ran to a nearby truck with window washing equipment and ladders.
“By some miracle there was a truck that was for cleaning windows and there were ladders,” Olivarez said. “They were putting ladders up against the building trying to get people out,” Olivarez said. “It looked as if they couldn’t get out, like both the floors were on fire. There was smoke protruding out of all the windows. It probably took about four minutes for the entire parking lot to be filled with smoke.”
They began to get out people until fire trucks showed up with their own ladders, she said.
After about 20 minutes in the parking lot, police began putting up crime scene tape and telling the employees to leave. Debris covered Olivarez’s car.”

State and Federal authorities in Texas are saying that the attack on the IRS building in Austin “appears to have no nexus [meaning "link", I take it] to terrorism”. Excuse me, but since when is a pre-mediatated attack on a federal office NOT considered terrorism? The perp was white, male, middle-aged, and well-off. This matches exactly the Teabagger profile. I’m waiting for condemnation from Beck, Limbaugh, and Palin. (Sound of crickets…)

That is fighting talk bubbles. Yep, I reckon Granny Paylin is nearly done…..bring on Ms. Bachmann!!
@ Austin 104… He’s a handsome devil, isn’t he?
Dick Cheney surprised CPAC and got to speak, even though he wasn’t officially on the schedule…you don’t think Palin is planning on doing the same thing do you?
“I think 2010 is going to be a phenomenal year for the conservative cause… And I think that Barack Obama is a one-term president.” — Former Vice President Dick Cheney, quoted by The Hill, in a surprise appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
We surely need to prove him wrong and ensure that President Obama is a TWO TERM President. Cheney is so disgusting and the media keeps giving him a free pass, as to the congress-critters. Are they all afraid of him? It appears he has major influence at many levels of government (read CIA, FBI, etc.), influence he should never have had to begin with, let alone now that he is out of office. At least Liz hasn’t been quite so *in-your-face* lately, but I suspect we’ll see more of her as election time rolls around.
Patty Murray hasn’t yet signed onto the Public Option. She’s been having some troubles on her home turf again. In case anyone missed it, some of her opponents are suggesting she should be hung.

Another bit of good news that got lost with the Austin/IRS incident – just glad he never got confirmed to the position!
Bernard Kerik, who nearly became head of the Department of Homeland Security, was sentenced to four years behind bars for eight felonies, CBS News reports. “Kerik admitted in November that he lied to the White House, filed false taxes and committed other crimes. The former police commissioner had been hailed as a hero alongside former Mayor Rudy Giuliani after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.”
I can’t get over Boehner whining that President Obama slapped the table, pointed his finger, and lectured him when he was at the White House for a meeting. Poor baby!!!
Interesting statement from George Will – I don’t believe he is a Palin fan: “Political nature abhors a vacuum, which is what often exists for a year or two in a party after it loses a presidential election. But today’s saturation journalism, mesmerized by presidential politics and ravenous for material, requires a steady stream of political novelties. In that role, Palin is united with the media in a relationship of mutual loathing. This is not her fault. But neither is it her validation.”

yep bubbles and Irishgirl, the simple minded shrew is down for the count onward to bring down the malamute-eyed harpy! Not to be downer but the one I worry about is darth vader’s daughter, the princess of darkness. She actually has a brain paired with the twisted sense of reality of so many right wingers. Making war is much more important than taking care of the American people.
one of the Repugs talking points re: healthcare is “letting” us buy our own plans across state lines…isn’t that nice (sarcasm), letting us BUY OUR OWN. I wonder how they would like it if we were allowed to vote across state lines as well. We all know enough about ALL the candidates across the nation to make an informed decision to elect somebody who will represent ALL the people.
I, personally, would love to put my vote (my two cents) in for who can sit in my Congress! …the Federal Gov’t affects all of us. Btw, open up the Supreme Court to election also too. With limited terms, and all the people in on the voting…maybe this will make them walk the straight and narrow…make them go into public service to do just that…not to be self-serving pr**ks. what? too much?
Ah-ha !!
Here we go for Tarryl Clark.

Doesn’t Bristols earnings also affect how much child support has to be paid.,if nothing else she may have to pay him if they get joint custody and she is making so much more than him..I bet palins ex brother-in-law could tell Levi a thing or two about how the palin thugs tried to force him the same way they are doing to Levi.

My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the “Extra Large Medium” episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine’s day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in ” Smudge” but I was a blonde in “Life Goes On”. I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm”.
In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.

White guy terrorist attack in Austin. Full suicide note here. Second paragraph mentions “taxation without representation”. Full text reveals complexities of a fight/struggle that’s been building for years. Thread started in Forum “Political Chat”.

What a wonderful, SMART, funny, to-the-point letter from Andrea Friedman. Obviously, she is from a family that valued her for herself, not for how she could look in a photo op. She has talent, wit and self-assurance…you go girl!!!
Desert Mudpup @80 –
In this interview with the St. Cloud Times, Bachmann excuses her lack of Congressional achievement by claiming to be a “fourth year freshman.”
~~~~~~~~~~~
I am sure things work a little differently in the Senate, but I seem to remember a FIRST-year Senator by the name of Franken getting some pretty significant work done this year…and giving a needed smackdown or two in the process.
Oh, that’s right…he’s really smart and knows his stuff while she’s just off the wall, down the street and into the basement kind of CRAZY!!!
Here’s one that gives Moose Pucky hope.
State and federal governments, tribes, and utilities sign agreement today to remove four Klamath River dams.
Hip-hip hooray. ‘Bout time.
We may heal this planet yet.
Here’s the WSJ story link on the Klamath dam removal agreement:
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20100218-714808.html?mod=WSJ_latestheadlines
Wow, just wow! Now we see the true make of the man who’s been hailed as the new poster boy (pun intended) of the Republican party:
‘Newly-minted Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) appeared on Fox’s Neil Cavuto and showed none of the outrage and concern about terrorism that he exuded during his Senate election campaign. Asked for his reaction, Brown said he felt for the families, but quickly shrugged off the attack and transitioned to say that “people are frustrated” and “no one likes paying taxes.” ‘
I think the word callous would definitely apply here…or perhaps disgusting and heartless might be more accurate. How thoughtless and cruel of him to make a comment like that when people innocent people died or were seriously injured in this attack.

Ann Strongheart reflects on the last six months in her latest post. Those who helped with the food drive last year receive the high honor as being named “some of Ann’s friends:”
“Segundo and I were enjoying our life together while at the same time trying to ease the pain and suffering of our neighbors. Ok I just remembered how Segundo wasn’t always very helpful nor excited about the prospect of helping me with the food drive. I can remember the first time I enlisted his help in delivering the food. Segundo grouchily (is that a word?) agreed to help me. I remember our first delivery was to an elder widow. Segundo carried in the box and saw how excited she was with all the food we had brought her. Then she asked how/where the food came from. Since Segundo was fluent in Yup’ik he was trying to explain to her about the food drive. Ever tried to explain the internet, emails, and blogs to someone who has probably never even used a computer?? Ever tried to explain that through this magical World Wide Web we have people from around the world sending food to lil ol’ Nunam Iqua? Not an easy task that’s for sure!
But Segundo tried. I don’t remember exactly how we ended up explaining this to her. I think the conversation ended up something like Ann’s friends sent it! The best part of the whole thing was when we left her house. Segundo and I walked outside and he was sooooo excited. He wanted to go deliver more food. He said it felt so good to see the happiness and relief the food donations were bringing to our neighbors/relatives. He was like a little boy…”Can we do it again??? huh ?? huh??” “Who’s next?” “No I’ll carry the box!”
Read the whole post (great photos, too) and leave a post “hug” for Ann:

Ms. Friedman has definitely out “real Americaned” Ms. Palin. Or her mom. Whoever actually put that tripe on facebook.
Ms. Friedman’s parents have out “real Americaned” T2′s parents. That was all to her good, but does nothing for him.
My dad was surely a child of his generation. Work hard, work long, but provide for your family the best you can. He did. He didn’t have much free time, but what he had, he spent with us. He taught me all kinds of great things, played with me, and showed me how to really think.
T2′s dad seems about as engaged with his family as a pile of moose pie. Never see him out snow mobile-ing with his kids. Never saw him on stage looking at them with pride (not even much looking at his wife with pride. More like a meal ticket.)
If this is what the christian right means by family values, we can sure use less of them!
damn, austintx, you’re the best! And, oh so funny!!:-)
AKM – I don’t think I’ve ever requested a post, but pretty please will you post the reply letter to Sister Sarah from the girl on the Family Guy? Your blog post guarantees viralbility (not a word, I know)
Well I hope Massachusetts is happy with their shiny new truck-drivin’ thingy down there in Congress. This is what you get when you don’t look past the naked centerfold. Yeah, Brown, let everybody who is unhappy about paying taxes just fly a plane into a building filled with innocent people. Big deal, right? Another disgusting, swelled-headed idiot full of his wonderful specialness.
Lots of smackdown on Granny Grifter after the wonderful response from Andrea Friedman. What a woman! I remarked on Palingates that her family made a terrific pitcher of lemonade and that there was not one single mention of God, or Precious Gift or Special Little Angel from her parents, just an acceptance and desire for her to have the best possible life.
@austintx – excellent picture of Eunice Shriver. Sarah Palin is a terrible mother and a general all-around person with no redeeming qualities.
I was just reading the post up on Palingates.
Andrea Friedman, the actress from the Family Guy episode, has a letter posted in the NYT. ( PG had the ‘ whole ‘ letter unedited )
Total Smackdown by Ms. Friedman who speaks the truth. SP… not so much.
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/18/family-guy-voice-actor-says-palin-does-not-have-a-sense-of-humor/
PG also had someone post a YouTube link to a story about a film that was being produced about this very talented young lady.

austintx…say what you really mean.
EXCELLENT!
Andrea Friedman just served up a big helping of crow to the Palin gals after they had screeched all over the national airwaves about the “cruel, cold-hearted” and “heartless jerks” on FG.
Look Andrea Friedman in the eye and say that, you silly geese!
Hey, Sarah! How’s that crow-ey, heartless-jerkey stuff workin’ out for ya? Hard to swallow, perchance?
Andrea Friedman, you rock! Thank you so very much for giving us your views. Peace!
Does anyone know how to send the Andrea Friedman story over to HuffPo? She should have equal time over there after all exposure HuffPo gave to Palin’s initial rant about the FG episode.
Wonder if Billo will have Andrea on “The Factor.” Not likely…..
What is wrong is the NYT edited Andrea’s email to omit the french bread reference!! Losers!
anyone that’s registered on huffpo, go to the family guy story and post that it’s huffpo’s civic duty to post Andrea’s letter in it’s entirety as an update.
I know AKM & Shannyn have some clout, how about it guys?? Please, this needs to get out. She’s contributed $1000 of other people’s money to the cause. She’s been bitching about the “r” word for 2 weeks now, she needs to stfu & give some of her grifter earnings to the buddy walk or a DS charity or keep quiet about it.
hmm, did I go into moderation?
Yeah , Andrea just lit me up like a Christmas tree. The video really got me. She is cool as all get out , and then , when you juxtapose that with sarah and Bristol…….well……BAM…….I unleashed. Meant every word.
I found where to send an email or “news scoop” to HuffPo and sent the Andrea Friedman story. If anyone else would like to send as well, you just go the Home Page….at the bottom is a “contact” link.
HuffPo had better give Andrea’s response the same ink and billing as they did Palin’s initial criticism! If they don’t, it’s going to cement even further in mind that HuffPo is more interested in keeping Palin a viable news story or “possible candidate” as way of boosting their own ratings.
Seagull: how ’bout “Virusurration”?
Only loud!
Ouch, Lee323, that “big helping of crow” and “that crow-ey,heartless-jerky stuff” stings a little.
But I’m a grown bird, so knowing that “it’s not all about Me, and while not taking it personally, and certainly making no mandation, might suggest “humble pie” and well, the second one IS pretty good, but would be better without the crow. Just sayin’.
I’m OK with the silly geese and swallows, wink wink, you betcha.
No matter how you say it, Andrea is intelligent, witty, and wonderful. (like many crows I know and love.) $arah palins, er, pales in comparison. What a waste.
Ann Strongheart certainly lives up to her name. Strong and brave and a credit to our gender. What a generous, caring, sharing spirit, and world class community organizer, also, too. And have you SEEN Ann’s fry bread!?
fry bread…french bread…daily bread…sudden urge to carbo-load…
later, later, sweet po-taters.
yeah, thatcrowwoman…..I thought about putting a disclaimer on my post out of respect for you but decided maybe I could sneak it by. Dang. The crow’s keen sight is not exaggerated…

Never saw him on stage looking at them with pride
(above quote referred to Todd)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your reference to a stage and pride brought back a wonderful memory of my own father. He was also a hard worker and not particularly demonstrative, but my sisters and I always knew he’d do anything for us. We were his first priority, even though he rarely said as much. However, what he did for us told us so much more than anything he could have talked about.
When I was in high school and college I did a lot of musical theater, both in school and in local community groups. Before I was old enough to drive, he was there every night, dropping me off at rehearsal and picking me up after it was over. He never missed a show, even though I was usually working backstage or in a small chorus part. I knew that I could always count on his quiet support.
The only mildly negative thing he ever said about my theater years came after a performance of Guys and Dolls in which I had several REALLY small parts. One was at the very beginning of the show, when the curtain opened on a newsstand, three of the male principals and me…the newspaper girl. Because I played several parts that were unrelated, someone decided I should wear a blonde wig for this scene. I do NOT have the coloring for blonde! Aftet the show, my father told me, as always, that the show was great. He then chuckled and strongly suggested that I NEVER become a blonde. It was a small moment but has remained, nearly 30 years later, as one of my favorite memories.
Thanks for reminding me of it!
I’ve heard Andrea speak. She’s a young woman of many talents and a drive to succeed. She has taken her talents and worked on them. She’s an interesting speaker, not because you’re thinking, “oh, this DS person can do things like public speaking,” but because she is truly interesting to listen to.

You’re welcome! Those of us fortunate to grow up with dads that would do anything they thought would help us were truly blessed!
A friend of mine made a memory book for her mom. It was a small photograph book, and she printed out lots of things she remembered fondly of her growing up years and slipped them into the pages. If she had pictures, she included them. Her mom, not a weepy person, cried over it. She looks at it often. I’m thinking of doing something similar for my parents. They need to know how much I appreciate all their care for me, even as an adult.

“Thomas Jefferson would scoff at the characterization of the Declaration as “conservative.” American conservatives have always had a difficult ideological road to travel. They have to be conservative about the historically radical ideas of democracy, liberty, and individual rights. The result here is an odd reading of the Founders, federalism, and the Constitution.”
Jason Linkins from Huffpo has posted the story and the comments made by Andrea Friedman as well as linking back to Palingates. ‘ Lots’ of people on Feedjit visiting off Huffpo. Jason also has a link to the NYT story post in his thread.

Bristol and Granny need to shut up now…..I don’t think they will able to do it though. How can she STILL make herself into a victim.
Will Granny call Andrea a ” tiny Hollywood starlet ” as well..?
I have been saying for some time now, that Sarah, Rush, Hannity ,the tea baggers and all the rest are inciting violence in our country. The home-grown terriost today is proof. All of these people are well healed and are still not satisfied until all the rest of us go down the tube. They want to fill their pockets . How sad, but true!!
Seems to me Palin owes that actress an apology, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before we see that.
