Jesus was a community organizer...

... Pontius Pilate was a governor

Why is the incredibly experienced Sarah Palin...

...afraid of having a real press conference where she takes questions from the press.  I have a link to a clock which is counting the time since she was selected by John McCain. The clock will stop when she has her frist real (not staged and controlled) press conference.

Let the good times roll!

The wrestling match is over.

Once the smoke settles and…

…the cuteness of a “pit bull with lipstick” being a heartbeat away from the presidency begins to be seriously considered;

…the hypocrisy of those who talked about “reaching across” eight years ago is recognized in today’s recycled rhetoric;

…the pathetic economic condition of our country, a legacy of economic policies which continue to be supported by the current candidate, remains unaddressed;

…the equally pathetic standing of our country in the eyes of the world for having squandered our once unassailable moral authority, remains unaddressed;

We can only hope that the grown up people in this country take stock of the situation and say, “Enough is enough!”


Here is how the republican slate is going to address all the issues…

“Drill everywhere and drill now;”

“The days of special interests are over;”

“I will veto any pork barrel spending which comes to my desk;”

“I will make the Bush tax cuts for the rich permanent”;

“I am a maverick, and so is my running mate.”;

and, lest I forget, “I put my country first!”

Wow… all that and $4.00 will get you a gallon of gasoline!

We wonder why there was no mention at all of health care... not one word regarding immigration… nothing about jobs being sent overseas… silence on how we are going to address serious funding question regarding Social Security and Medicare… no serious discussion of Global Warming (other than the ritual ridiculing of Al Gore)… nothing!

Okay… well we have a couple of mavericks! Gee, that’s great! A moose in everyone's pot!!!
Whoopee!

Let the good times roll!

Which way will you have it

The repubican squirrels, after reveling in Sarah Palin's rhetorical prowess, which took the measure of the republican conservative right, and gave a speech crafted to thrill them, then derided Barak Obama as "one who can read a poll and momentarily thrill a crowd." ... Go figure.

McCain's New Pet


Strangely, this attack dog only bites squirrels on the left. So if she comes charging at you, turn your right side towards her and she will start lickin' your paw. But no matter how nice she seems, do not forget that she is a hockey mom!

The Alaskan Independence Party

Dimitri has made it across the Bering Strait, and arrived in Alaska at a very auspicious moment... the Selection of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as Senator McCain's running mate.

Dimitri reports that Governor Palin has a very interesting political background, including membership in the Alaskan Independence Party (the AIP). The AIP encourages its members to join established political parties in order to get seek election to political positions. Sarah Palin joined the Republican Party. She was backed by the AIP in her run for the Governorship of Alaska. As Governor she addressed the 2008 AIP Convention, in which she encouraged AIP members to "Keep up the good work..."

The "good work" of the AIP is, as the name suggests, secession of Alaska from the USA.

In the words of AIP founder Joe Vogler, as displayed on the AIP's website "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America and her damned institutions."

Sounds like someone is makin' acorn butter.

Palin is a Fox

Overheard McCain telling Lieberman, "Sarah Palin is a fox!"

This is bad news for all squirrels. You know what foxes do to squirrels.
