Sarah Palin v. Andrew Sullivan
I do what I can to post about what Sarah Palin’s up to but I work for free. (Want to make a donation? See “About” re how to contact me). Bottom line? I can’t afford to spend all day blogging.
Andrew Sullivan on the other hand gets paid and he has “contacts.” Not only that, Sarah hates him, so he’s gotta be doing something right.
So check out his site. It’ll be smokin this week.
150 Applicants for 30 Jobs
So sad: The Salvation Army branch in Grand Junction, Colorado has received 150 applications for 30 bell-ringer jobs “that pay $8 an hour.” It usually “struggles” to find enough people and historically has accepted “applications into December.”
Not this year, apparently. (People are desperate for jobs — even temporary jobs — and they’re happy to take ones that pays as little $8 an hour. Meanwhile, the food bank I volunteer at counts pennies; it rushes to the store when ramen noodle soup is on sale for 17¢ per pack and it and rations toilet paper. Meanwhile the big boys blow their bonuses on trinkets at Saks and Tiffany’s and reserve a place in The Hamptons for next summer. The structure of our society is so out of whack.)
Keeping Up With Sarah Palin’s Lies
In advance of the release of Sarah Palin’s book, Going Fictional Rogue on Tuesday, Andrew Sullivan has complied a list of some 30+ “things that she has said or written that can be definitively proven as untrue, by incontestable evidence in the public record.”
Insofar as there will undoubtedly be new lies in the book, now might be a good time to look back at the past before we begin the next chapter of this sad national embarrassment that is Sarah Palin.
Obama’s Bow
Adding yet another incident to the Obama-can’t-do-anything-right file, the wingers are all atwitter this morning because he bowed to the Japanese Emperor. Yes, according to them, this makes Obama and of course, the United States itself, look weak and wimpy.
Far as I’m concerned, what it does is show how insecure the wingers are.
Here’s video of that awful act, which has just destroyed our country as we knew it:
Snow Globes are the New Terror Threat
When you live in a land whose media has convinced its populace that danger lurks around every corner – you act that way:
“Snow globes are not permitted to be carried through security checkpoints,” said Transportation Security Administration spokesman Dwayne Baird.
But the other message we get is that we’re “the most powerful nation on Earth.”
So, which are we?
