Watch Sarah Palin’s Address to Tea Partiers LIVE
Saturday evening, during the 9:00 p.m. ET hour, on Fox.
Will they fess up to their conflict of interest and identify Palin as a “Fox News Contributor?” Nah.
Per the link above, CNN might air it too. I’d watch it there. Don’t give Fox the hits.
Cheese Comes From Butterflies?
Cheese comes from butterflies?
Yeah, and eggs come from sheep, yogurt comes from turkeys or ducks and bacon comes from horses. That would be what a survey says about what kids in the UK know about where their food comes from.
What about kids in the US? They can’t tell the difference between a tomato and a potato.
Groundhog Day
I’m embarrassed for us: Why do we spend one day a year pretending that a groundhog can see his shadow?
More Fox Proof That There’s Something Wrong With Obama
This graphic is up on TheFoxNation right now:
What Are They Thinking?
Here is the “2010 Comprehensive Daily Kos/Research 2000 Poll of Self-Identified Republicans” I posted about yesterday.
Wow. They’re brutal when it comes to gays, and then there’s this:
It’s astonishing how ideas that, 30 years ago would have been considered radical, and even fringe, are now mainstream.
The DNC Slaps its Base in the Face
Were the powers that be in the Democratic party ever, ever, for a public option? I have a feeling the answer is no and that we spent last year getting rolled: DNC Defends Spending $460 K on Nelson’s Anti-Public Option Ad.
Since When is a 44-Year-Old Woman a “Young Lady”?
The perpetually clueless Harold Ford, Jr., was a guest on the Colbert Report last night during which he referred to Kristen Gillibrand, the senator from New York he is considering running against, as a “young lady.” I guess that would make Ford an even younger “young gentleman” — Gillibrand is four years older than Ford.
Slips of the tongue can be so revealing.
Big Money Turns on Tea Partiers
I got this tweet from a “Tea Party Patriot” a few minutes ago:
It claims, obviously, that “the left is becoming more and more desperate as we grow stronger” and that www.theteapartyisover.org is “their new…” whatever.
So I click on the link — www.theteapartyisover.org — and I see this angry-looking homepage:
Here’s a close-up:
And then I scroll down to the bottom of the page:
So, what the hey, I Google “American Public Policy Committee.”
I don’t find a site but I do find this list of donors at OpenSecrets.org:
So big-money “Tea Party” groups created “TheTeaPartyIsOver.org” and they’re producing ads that make idiots like my Twitter-friend — who don’t do any research whatsoever and who believe everything they’re told — think “the left” is against them? But, in reality, big money is against them because if the Tea Party movement gets going the corporations lose. And they don’t lose
Yep. That’s what’s happening.
