Intense POV Skateboarding

Below is a video taken by my friend Ed. He is careening down a hill on a skateboard with a camera. Pretty awesome.

Monica Lewinsky + Jenny Craig = Sarah Palin

Daaaamn, this resemblance is eerie! So what's going on, is this actually just some sort of Republican fembot, designed to wreak havoc on the Democrats, but recently having experienced major malfunctions?

Palin Rally: Video of attendee shouting "Obama Bin Laden"

It just doesn't get much classier than a McCain/Palin rally. This must be why I see so many of the mansions here in yuppie areas of Tennessee with McCain/Palin signs on their lawns, or perhaps these people are just tired of being winners, and want to see what its like to be losers.

Regardless, I am thoroughly enjoying the sight of Republicans, having expanded their base to attract voters who know nothing in order to elect Bush twice, being forced to deal with these idiots and their uncontrollable outbursts of stupidity.

Here is a video of the always vapid and substance-lacking Sarah Palin attempting to criticize her opponents, which always is comical to me, and someone in her audience very audibly yells "Obama Bin Laden."



WOW! What an amazing wit this supporter has, well he just blew our minds by switching the "s" to a "b" in Osama, and therefore tying the Illinois senator to the most hated terrorist and enemy to our nation. How DOES he come up with this stuff.

Once again, Sarah Palin just keeps right on talking, doesn't acknowledge the statement, doesn't denounce it, despite the fact that these outbursts are crippling what's left of the campaign. Sarah Palin is apparently under the notion that these are her supporters and that they will be instrumental in her being able to make a decent run for the White House in 2012.

Suuuure Sarah, we all know how attractive it is to Republican voters when you're presence and behavior on the campaign trail effectively demolishes any chance for a Republican victory. Oh yeah, they'll love you. You're just a f'n shoe in!

Enjoy your fame for now, Sarah. Ignore the fact that we are all laughing and pointing directly in your face, and don't worry about the fact that everything you say and do goes directly against what you are trying to accomplish. You were trying to be a beauty queen. Beauty queens are women who have a position, but have no power to do anything at all. That's what you have become. You are a VP nominee, but your rhetoric is still that of someone looking for some diamond studded tiara. So enjoy your status for now, because when your post-fame depression hits later, you'll need something to look back on to carry on, so that you can do what you should be doing, which is taking care of "your" mentally retarded child, whom you weren't sure if you could love as your own child. You don't belong where you are, and that, Sarah, that is why you are being ridiculed wherever you go.

Sarah Palin Humiliated on SNL

I can't imagine what Sarah Palin thought she might accomplish by going on SNL last night, except that she did get the opportunity to say "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" Other than that, she pretty much got blasted left and right to her face, and also had to sit through their usual ripping into McCain. This part was the best though:

WTF is a maverick anyway, and does it apply to McCain?

Main Entry:

¹mav·er·ick

Pronunciation:

..ˈmav-rik, ˈma-və-..

Function:

noun

Etymology:

Samuel A. Maverick †1870 American pioneer who did not brand his calves

Date:

1867

1: an unbranded range animal ; especially : a motherless calf

2: an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party



So, are John McCain and Sarah Palin a pair of mavericks? Well, lets see if either of these definitions apply...

We'll start with definition 2, as quoted from Merriam Webster's online dictionary. "An independent individual...", OK he's not independent. He's a Republican and he married a rich woman to finance his political career, "...who does not go along with a group or party." Hmmmm.... I am pretty sure he accepts the label of Republican, and he couldn't possibly be running for president as an Independent with any success, so it would sure seem to me that this definition doesn't qualify. McCain may argue that he doesn't ALWAYS go along with everyone in his party, but that's like saying you're a vegetarian, because you don't ALWAYS eat meat.

So lets move on to the other definition, an unbranded range animal. Well, I suppose when he was being worked over in that POW camp, they didn't actually take a branding iron to him, and I suppose one could see McCain and Palin as "range animals", perhaps even "motherless calfs," so I conclude that these two are indeed mavericks, but I am not interested in having a barnyard animal running my country.
