Palindrome? I think that Edwards is the father. Of BOTH babies.
DNA TEST!!!
DNA TEST!!!
In fact…
Maybe they are both clones from the same Borg hive.
After all…
There is precedent.
Read on.
Lissen up, folks.
This is where the country lives now.
Pretty white girl abducted!!!
Pretty white MILF has daughter’s baby!!! (“MILF”. That’s “Mothers I’d Like To Fuck” for the non-20 to 30-something porn literate. Ms. Palin is the MILF candidate, and the people who put her in the VP spot know that damned well.)
Pretty white MILF runs for Vice President under Older Man!!! (And I DO mean “under”.)
And so on ad nauseum.
It’s all image manipulation.
Nothing more.
They try, then they try again.
If you’re not hip to the game…
Then eventually they manage to press almost everyone’s buttons. And all they need is 51%. Maybe more like 46% or 47% given the Diebold thing.
Hell, folks…even one of our our major (Snort!!!) newsiness networks fell into that game when they hired Katie Kutie to be the anchor.
You don’t really think that Katie Couric got that gig on her resume alone, do you? Please. Even if she had a competitive resume (which I suppose is entirely possible), just like Ms. Palin she was hired on her kutiness kuotient and nothing else. Of course, the good news is that the K-K-K-Katie experiment pretty much tanked, which I believe will ultimately be the result with the Palindrome thing as well, but still… that’s where we are at today.
Sex is the most powerful force in the animal universe.
Species (race) comes in a close second.
May you be born into an interesting election.
We’ve got a humdinger, force five electoral storm a’brewin’ right under our noses.
KATIE BAR THE DOOR!!!
What FUN it’s gonna be!!!
The sheer meta-ness of it all!!!
Lissen up, goddamnit!!!
STEP AWAY FROM THE TV WITH YOUR BRAINS IN THE AIR!!!
NEWSTRIKE!!!
MEDIASTRIKE
CULTURESTRIKE!!!
Wake the fuck up.
You’ve been had.
Walk away now.
From both sides of the hype machine.
You be bettah off.
Bet on it.
Later…
S.
I just returned from South Africa.
Where people have other things on their mind.
Like survival.
It was pleasant to be away. People smile there, despite their troubles. The single most cogent thing that I bring back from my trip is the smiles. Hundreds of them. Thousands. Almost every time I turned around, someone was smiling a real smile at me.
This shit?
Empty news.
All sound and fury, no fucking content.
Fuggedaboudit.
Please.
Thank you and goodnight.
Been on a plane and otherwise traveling for over 24 hours.
Thank you and goodnight.
We get by with a little help from our friends. (More on that when I have the energy to write another post. BOY did I get by with some help from friends!!! Black AND white. Most of whom didn’t know me from Adam.)
Thank you and goodnight.
Later…

Yeah, but how long before they drop
EagletonPalindrome from the ticket?You just don’t get it, do you, Booman?
This is what we have here.
It’s like hits on a website or ratings on TV.
Advertisers…and that’s what political managers really are, ad execs gone big-time, ad execs gone wild…do not give e SHIT about what people actually think regarding the site of show that they watch. They just want numbers. With numbers comes attention, and with attention comes…
TAH DAH!!!
The only name of the corporate game.
When I say “Fuggedaboudit”…I mean fuggedaboudit.
On the ticket or off…now they have viewers.
Old joke…new meaning.
Or…
Ol’ Mae knew the score.
We should, too.
Just sayin’…
Don’t like whores much?
Do not patronize their places of business.
Just sayin’…

ya think? Implode before she gathers her legs!
She’s lawyering up – hires attorney for Troopergate investigation
but looks like Palin has a pattern
With all the challenges ahead, this campaign should be about the issues but this is a deliberate distraction. Country first my ass.
Fannie, Freddie, Lehman continue the financial implosion. The powers-that-be (Ptb) are doing their best to keep the illusion going. BE HAPPY.
Yup.
Right on the money.
They will lose on the issues, but they are better at meta-physics.
Yup.

They vetted her, so McCain didn’t have to.
Worse, she’s creepy-crazy Dominionist material, so that deep well of tainted money will help with funding.
But yah, I’m sure they’re looking for Miss Runner Up picks, in the event that her ethics problems in Alaska come fully to light. The comments on that last one include a lot of anonymous people who are listing names of people she’s punished on behalf of her family or other biased inputs, including the State jobs those victims held. And, she copies her husband on State executive level emails! Great….
Bread and circuses. And the price of bread has doubled.
Luckily, the circuses are free…all we have to pay is our dignity as a country.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
More on South Africa…and race in this country as well…later.
Still recovering from the double jetlag and two 16 hour flights in the space of five days.
