HA! “Queen of De-Nile”…you keep getting better and better, Fly! Let’s see, how big is that headdress exactly.. 2 cubits x 3 cubits x 6 bumpits?
You betcha!
Oh gosh —
Fly just HAS to publish a book with all of this great stuff!
Doncha think?
It’s totally priceless.
Big wave to Yukonbushgrma! Have you seen my son lately?
Put me on the “will buy” list if Fly does publish the book! Oh, could he/she also publish a book about our “Governor for Life” Rick Perry? No work involved . . . just change Palin to Perry and you’re done!
Brilliant! Thanks Fly & AKM!
Oh, thank you Fly! So perfect yet again.
Exciting weekend on tap here in Illinois. Legislature left with no budget, schools owe huge amounts of money to vendors who have not been paid by the state, ex-gov Blago in court. Lord, life is interesting here.
Well, that is pretty much what is happening here in NY as well. Wish we could just throw all the bums out.
Wow’s that trickle down Raygunasm workin’ for u, also too.
Great graphic Fly. Sarah Palin is an idiot. Sarah’s America, an idiocracy. See the movie ‘Idiocracy.’
Saw it – and immediately thought of her and her ilk.
me too!
Hey Bubbles! *Wavey* When will you be visiting Ohio?
Great, flyinureye!
I knew it!! That must be why people call her Scarah – it must have something to do with the scarab beetle.
Let’s hope it’s not too long before she gets her asp out of here!
hahahaha caw Caw CAW!
The caw Caw CAW always makes me laugh.
Great graphic Fly!
teee heee,,,good one Six.
You did it again, Fly! How about one somehow bringing in the mis-quote SP gave to John Wooden?
He just passed away at the grand old age of 99. I hope I leave this earth with folks thinking that well of me! Must have been a great human being.
(AKM, you can probably remember the quote I’m referring to, which was actually said by a native American, not John Wooden the UCLA basketball coach.) Since SP and Coach Wooden are both basketball connected, I though Fly could come up with a stinger! (Although those two really shouldn’t me even mentioned in the same sentence!)
Yeah, it’s not likely she’d give a brown-skin that kind of credit – she sees through Native people like they weren’t there. Token Todd had their Administration pass over a Native childhood friend for a citizens panel even though she was qualified. They both use his nativeness when their narrative calls for it, otherwise it is a non-issue, just like feminism.
RIP Coach, sorry you had to be associated in any way to a woman famous for quitting.
“He just passed away at the grand old age of 99. I hope I leave this earth with folks thinking that well of me!”
Unbelieveable! Can’t she even make the death of a respected coach about something other than herself?!?!?!
No.
“I hope I leave this earth with folks thinking that well of me!”
Well, Sarah, you better get busy, because you have a lot of changes to make. I’d love to see that happen, but I won’t be holding my breath waiting.
I love it!
Maybe they could do something with Keith Obermann’s name for her, Saranoia, kind of like a combination of annoy ya and paranoia?
Maybe we can combine it to: Saranoia, Queen of De-Nile? She’s both paranoid and in total denial of her own life.
A picture is worth a thousand words and will forever be emblazoned in the psyche of America. I think this photo needs to go viral immediately because it’s so apropos of this ‘one trick pony’.
And it keeps getting better as I read the comments posted. Saranoia, Queen of De-Nile & The Idiocracy. Fantastic!
smirky squinty $arah,
so proud to be stupid, so stupid to be proud
Queen of Denial and a legend in her own mind.
$arah, dear, there are effective treatments available (medications, management plans, therapies).
(In my best deep south drawl) Bless her heart.
Nah, this is a better blessing for Our $arah (ala Fiddler on the Roof):
May God bless her and keep her…
far away from [us].
Have a lovely weekend, all.
The good rabbi couldn’t have said it better!
Lovely graphic, flyinureye. Thanks for posting it, AKM (remember, we’re still looking forward to more avian photos from Homer, also, too).
On a more serious note, please thank 11 more jewelers for signing on to “No Dirty Gold” and pledging to protect Bristol Bay. Send an email here (and personalize it if you have time):

Thanks!
I love the pics of sp — very telling. I live in Minnesota which has the wonderful boundary waters, beautiful change of seasons, land of 10,000 lakes and, unfortunately, michelle bachmann. I would suggest doing something with bachmann and palin — twin (idiots) separated at birth. Their combined IQ must be less than the average adult, they have the same inability to put a complete sentence together, total disregard for factual data, and blather endlessly. Just a thought . . . LOL
There’s a Sierra Club action asking our President for a strong push for a clean energy future:
I just sent a message to President Obama, you should too! The BP oil disaster in the Gulf is a wake up call. Now is our chance to turn the tides and create a clean energy future that moves us off oil. Send an email to President Obama and urge him to create a plan that moves us off oil in the next 20 years.
Check it out here:

I edited the sample letter, because personalized emails have more impact (e.g. I included coal as something we must leave behind). Health and peace.
geeee…. no major Palin Drama for 3 whole days….wait for it.. wait for it.. she’ll open her mouth again and twitter someting asinine soon …..
Perfection! I love the “and so much more”. Hahaha!
Telling, isn’t it, that Wally Hickel rated a brief (less than 140 characters or is it 240?) while Coach Wooden – an extremely worthy person in his own right – got a full page of Facebook effusiveness.
Alex Haley once said something along the lines of: “when an old person dies, it’s as if a small library has burned to the ground.” A good reminder to me to appreciate and honor those who I hold dear, while I can.
Love your insight as always Nan.
It is hard to stomach the odd lies of Sarah, she’s pouring it on that both she and Todd had Coach Wooden’s quotes and playbook highlights on their person, lockers, notebooks and such.
This is as believable as Sarah naming Bristol after ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, CT, when Todd’s heritage and supplemental income comes from the Bristol Bat region. Again, the story could have Alaskan authenticity, but she just had to expand the base to the elite Eastern State corporation. When does the sports channel become a part of Lamestream Media Sarah? When they won’t do a sprecial on your three baskets and foul-ridden high school championship record?
Pretty perfect.
Not the best title….she is not in denial. She honestly believes what she speaks is the truth due to her limited exposure to the “real” world. Much scarier than being in denial.
It’s not her limited exposure, it’s her limited beliefs. She has no imagination, or empathy – she cannot see what others see, and she cannot understand possibilities beyond her dogma. There is no mystery to her – only blatant disregard for civilized behavior & overblown hubris due to arrested development and being coddled. She’s street smart, but common sense stupid. Behind the scenes, she’s a disaster.
Palin says she and Todd plastered Wooden’s quotes on bulletin boards and notebooks during their school years, so when they met thirty years ago, they knew they had something in common. Well, from what I have read, Wooden didn’t have any quotes thirty years ago. At least not this Wooden. Another lie? I guess we need to research it?
It may be a lie, but he was well quoted in the papers after UCLA games.
Different topic, but related to Sean Parnell and his Denali Kid Cares stupidity:
http://attackerman.firedoglake.com/2010/05/31/childmortalityinamericaisdsgraceful/
By 1980, Coach Wooden was already a legend. His sayings were probably more widely known then among sports enthusiasts than they are now.
On the other hand, if either Palin had tried to play for Coach Wooden, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have gotten past the “how to put your shoes on” part. He was more “No Drama” than Obama.
Great picture! I think the title does fit as she denies the truth about anything listed at the bottom of the picture. I’ve often wondered what it would be like to live in Sarah Palin’s world where there is no global warming, no evolution, no room for women to make their own choices, no . . . Argh – then I wake up and realize what a nightmare I’ve been in.
That is the most unflattering picture of Granny Palin – flyinureye made it into a wonderful bit of comedy and she should thank him for that! Those fake eyebrows, tattooed lip liner and smirk are some her trademarks that just make me barf. Barf, barf, barf, barf. If she only knew how ugly she is from the inside out, she’d run and hide. And I’d kick dirt over her hole to keep her there.
Flyinureye, you are a master!
I think Flyinureye just scored a 9 on the bumpit meter. Make my day.
Hello my Peeps… er Pups!
Just a bit on news for the open thread. I have decided that since I cannot find work, I need to volunteer. So, with my background, I went to a Horse Retirement Farm today and had a volunteer orientation. At the end, I said, “So what next? Can I come in tomorrow morning?” The director looked at me like she had never heard this before and said, “SURE! It’s going to be raining, though.” I immediately thought how sad it was that she has to take care of 26 old and decrepit horses alone (or mostly alone) on a rainy Sunday morning because people are afraid to get wet??? I told her I’d see her in the barn at 7:30 sharp!
I love horses, I miss my old decrepit mare who I lost to chronic laminitis 4 years ago, and I can’t wait to get my hands on these lovely animals. I told her I’d love to get some horse massages in while I was there, too. They’ll love it on their old arthritic joints and sore muscles.
I’m hoping this opens up a little good karma. If not, then it’s still a good thing
Have a good weekend.
Good on you, Ripley. Will be looking forward to hearing how you get on.
hey back atcha lil mudpeep, i got a good feeling. a gentle chill breeze that happens to me sometimes that lets me know you are on the right track. they will need someone full time soon and you are the one chosen.sending you love and sweet thoughts.
Hey Bubs – I get the gentle chill breeze too. I call it the ” yes ” chill . You know you’re def. on the right track when you get the one that goes from toe to head and then back again.
Ripley – this is a great choice. A friend of mine volunteered at a therapy horse stable and it took her to an entirely new head place. A few months later her life took a new turn , very much for the better. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
Ripley, any time you volunteer, it becomes your own therapy. Maybe the karma will open new doors for you.
What a great thing to do, R’ipley! Enjoy! And I hope this brings you LOTS of good karma.
Helping to bring comfort to some old, retired horsies who have given their best years in service to others…that’s GOTTA bring oodles of good karma flying back in your direction!!!
And I echo BuffaloGal’s comment about volunteering leading to new life directions. It happened to me and led me through an unexpected and surprising journey to where I am today…a job that I love that has an enormous impact on others. I was telling a colleague a story the other day and she stopped me to comment about what an interesting life I’ve had. I never thought about it that way but I suppose she’s right. And nearly all of the adventures I’ve had have come about as a result of volunteering and being in the right place at the right time…karma or destiny perhaps?!?!
Enjoy your times with the horsies…I know they will!
Go YOU Ripley!!!! Maybe abundant wonderful karma be yours quickly!!!
How great! I see the horses now, sighing in relief that you’re there. Great find, Ripley.
Great idea, and great for the horses!
My most recent volunteer stint ended with me getting hired, and I wasn’t particularly looking for work. I recommend it, because you end up getting paid for work you are willing to do for free. That’s the best kind.
Thank you all. It’s a non-profit, so I don’t suspect there would be any “positions” opening, but I’m ok with that. Hopefully I’ll get in some good networking. Here’s the place> http://www.mitchellfarm.org/ Really nice woman who runs it. I liked her immediately. That’s always good.
Thank you R’ipley!!
Thank you for helping.
Lucky horses R’ipley. Receiving love and care in their retirement, every animal and (most)humans deserve such a fate. Good for you and wishing for you the job of your dreams!
Good for you, Ripley. I’m sure the horses and the director will be very happy to see you and I’m hoping for fabulous things for you.
Outstanding, R’ipley! When you put your lovely hands on those rippely equine muscles, horse and human alike are going to glow.
Bless you!!!

Well Fly you done gone and done it again….LOL.
A good Saturday morning chuckle…

LMAO at this one…

(btw no relation to the blog’s author)
SouthPaw…..LOL and disturbing the neighbors again. thanks for those links.
That first one is going around—hilarious!
Have to take the time to read the teabagger/birther one.
Soon the nose will touch top lip.
I noticed that, also, too.
Any woman with a lick of sense, ages gracefully – those without any sense, end up looking like hags. Too bad no one has flat-out told the Queen of Quitters that it’s not wise to compete with one’s teen-aged daughters in the looks, fashion, and/or associates department. Psychologists and psychiatrists universally frown upon such actions; they [such actions] do *not* make for a healthy, stable, mind. beth.
Thanks Flyinureye & AKM another great spot on graphic.
Also, too…
http://southpawbeagle4sissies.com/category/religion-crucified/
Sending this to a few people, thank you!
Wonderful depiction. it sums up the philosophy of Tea-bagers. Ludites who believe the world is still flat. The tragedy permeates schools, short changing seeking minds of understanding solutions to real problems. SP’s narrow focus should be rejected out of hand, but so many of her followers have poisoned their minds with the fog of creationism, that by the time a crisis hits, it’s the blind leading the blind. They wrap themselves in the flag of patriotism justifying their altered universe. In the end it’s a steady road to distruction of our planet, i.e. Gulf of Mexico.
yep. life would just be grand if we got rid of those enviro-whackos, don’tcha know.
BP would be have this oil gusher shut down by now if not for government interference.
Love the graphic, flyinureye
$carah Paylin, Queen of Denial. I like it.
Inspired graphic, fly!
Kick her asp.
Now we just need artwork for “Sarah, Mystery of Babble On” and we’ve got a a great front/back book jacket for Joe McGinnis.
Oh, super! The sequels write themselves, don’t they. Apparently, just like Sarah’s pop up publications.
Fly, it’s great!
Down here in the California Riviera (tough life) I’ve heard Parnell referred to as Governor Oatmeal. Is that a name from Alaska?
If so, I have the sequel to this great volume!
SP2! More Oatmeal. Less PItbull. Same Results.
Oh, and I like the patented Bum Pit Support System that built into her crown thingy.
Outstanding!!! He is so creative when it comes to Palin. I agree, he should publish a book w/his creations, or pehaps a funny book!!!

Sarah’s at the Belmont.
I didn’t think she was planning to spend much time in her home yard this summer. Looks like she’s back on the road again.
OMG, I can’t believe that she was the guest of Mary Lou Whitney. Mary Lou is like a goddess to the people of this area (Albany/Saratoga) and this is a pretty blue state — although upstate has historically been Republican until recent years. Anyway, I sure hope the Palins aren’t going to be invited to Saratoga in August — Mary Lou RULES at Saratoga. I might have to leave the state.
BTW, First Dude came in third. At least he didn’t win, but I would have been happier if he was last. Not too sour, am I?
I grew up in Columbia County. Where are you?
i’ve actually been to saratoga with mz mary lou witney…what an interesting individual
Hi AuntieRuth,
I live in Hudson area — hence HudsonElizabeth
. Have been here 25 years (including 18 in Claverack) and before that 8 as weekender in Copake Lake. Love, love love Columbia County. Lucky you to have been able to grow up here.
Mary Lou comes up each year for the Iditarod and has even sponsored racers so that she can ride in the basket thru the Anchorage loop at the initial ceremonial start. She has Alaskan connections. I didn’t think that she would hang out with folks like the Palins though. She tended towards the “old money” Alaskan types. Seems like Sarah and Todd might be buying themselves into being somewhat accepted into those types of circles now, but I can’t help but think that the old money types will never accept them wholeheartedly.
The East Coast is a dog eat dog world when it comes to money and 12 million ain’t gonna get you a seat at the best tables, unless you are the comic relief. Every fancy dinner needs a court jester and the Palin’s might just fit that requirement.
Two questions that must be asked:
1) Why hasn’t the Quitter Queen endorsed Yawn Parnell?? WIll she be campaigning for him???
2) Has anyone talled the amount of money the state is paying for all Parnell’s lawsuits against health care, belugas, polar bears, goats, etc. etc. etc. ???
I betcha just one of the lawsuits adds up to full Denali Kid Care coverage. Just sayin ….
$Palin Reassures Rich Folks About Alaska’s Tort Liability, Brags About Stiffing Victims…

Well folks, Arizona’s done it again!
A mural depicting children being more ‘green’ is causing all sorts of ruckus in Prescott because of the color of the skin on the the main child, which some people feel is too dark. The child in question was taken from photos of students in that school and is Hispanic. The director of the mural project said he and other artists were subjected to racial slurs from passing motorists as they worked, often while children were present. The principal of the school asked the artist to “make the children’s faces appear happier and brighter.”
“In a broadcast last month, according to the Daily Courier in Prescott, [City Councilman] Blair mistakenly complained that the most prominent child in the painting is African-American, saying: “To depict the biggest picture on the building as a Black person, I would have to ask the question: Why?”
Blair could not be reached for comment Thursday. In audio archives of his radio show, Blair discusses the mural. He insists the controversy isn’t about racism but says the mural is intended to create racial controversy where none existed before.”
Screaming racial epithets and asking to have the skin of the children lightened…yeah, that’s not racist at all.
Do we need to have the EPA come in and test the water or air in Arizona because SOMETHING is making a whole lotta people there go batsh!t crazy!
AZ mudpups…can you explain???
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/06/04/20100604arizona-mural-sparks-racial-debate.html
Councilman Blair was relieved of his radio program following his simple-minded and divisive on-air comments about the mural. Yea!!!
http://action.wilderness.org/campaign/saynotopalin01 is where you can write Ken Salazar to keep drilling out of ANWR.
Bookmarked Southpaw, that was fun!
Hope to see some of you in chat later. Health and peace.
Palin’s state/national support of Parnell would be his kiss of death as to being elected and I hope she does it soon!!!!
Speaking of horses, “First Dude” took 3rd place in today’s Belmont Stakes.
Speaking of I don’t know what….you have to check out this pic of Palin at Belmont. Scroll down to the second one!!! It’s a double whammy.

But why didn’t Granny take Tr!.gger along with that ‘ famous ‘ backpack of his…?
He could have pretended that He was a Jockey. Use the Whip… Big guy.. ” Run.. Sarah…Run “
Darn it, I find everything else about her to be reprehensible, but I would like to have those boobs, on my body!
Irish – they knocked my eyeballs out. When did the new ‘girls’ appear on the scene? I honestly don’t know what could be next…. at this point, I grieve for my sanity. What is WITH this sunglassed rock star look??? I agree – totally inappropriate attire. Why does she continue to be invited to things, when she’s such a transparent fraud? She is setting back the priceless value of femaledom by 50 years, and she must be stopped.
Whose name was scratched out on the visor this time?
Mercy Maude! Taking the new kids on the bod for a walk. Seriously pathetic attire for this day. Good grief.
Lol! It seems her fence is not the only thing that has been enhanced one way or the other as of late. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
The girls definitely are looking unusually perky these days!
I’m thinking Victoria Secrets new line. That’s her way of campaigning!
Very funny comments!!. Thanks for the chuckles!
Jeannie, Maybe you could arrange for Joe to get flyinureye posters for the new superfence?
