Excellent yet terrifying. Thank you Flyinureye….this should be mainstream media not so called lamestream (creepy as it it)
Waah….blech….sobbing…I wish she’d go away….
This is zippery great – super glue it together.
Heehee…. I hope we all give Palin nightmares.
AKM !
You made the top 50 on Sarah palin’s enemies list! I couldn’t be prouder.
http://www.tinadupuy.com/column/sarahpalinsenemylist/
What a great list. With some interesting links. All environmentalists made the list also. “For causing the Gulf Oil Spill.” “If we’d just drilled in ANWR and elsewhere in Alaska first, it wouldn’t have happened there in the Gulf…..” (sigh)
Fly,
Best Evah!
Mudpups, the Pentagon’s study recommending the repeal of DADT was released today and will hopefully be brought to a vote soon. I politely ask you to contact your Senators and ask them to vote according to the Pentagon’s recommendation: repeal DADT
.
Senate: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=IL
Thanks, you’re the best!
My Senators are liburlas. They hate all troops. Except the gay ones, which they love. They will vote to end the ban because they want to flood the military with gays and root out those hetero troops they hate.
Uh, yeah. Anyway, my liberal Senators will vote for repeal. And it’s about time. Thank Ipthar that the nation is slowly catching up with what it right. I know people have thought that Obama was too slow and should have made an executive decision, but he’s managed to bring along the military, many nervous congress people, and the majority of the nation without spending political capital. Slow, yes. Savvy, even more so.
Maybe this WAS the best way to do it, after all…..too bad McCain lacks the courage of the rest of the military.
There’s something eerily familiar about that photo. Maybe I could explain it best in her own words…
“Ack! Ack, ack. Ack ack, ack, ack ack!”
Yayyy…I finally figured out a way to fix my stinky problem!
Some of you may have read yesterday that my garage had a way-too-close-for-comfort encounter with a skunk the night before last. Fortunately, it didn’t spray inside the garage as I first thought, but must have gotten the flower bed and grass right next to the far wall. Several fetid gusts of Eau de Skunk wafted my way last evening and again tonight so I know the little bugger is still in the neighborhood. I am generally an animal lover, but the inconvenience, aggravation, lack of sleep and 2-day headache have reduced me to hoping that the rotten thing is squashed somewhere because, otherwise, he’s in a perpetually p!ssy mood.
A bottle of extra-strength Febreze has finally seemed to take care of the smell inside my car (which has forced me to depend on coworkers for rides for the past 2 days). I still, however, needed something to take care of the lingering odor in my house. I finally came up with the perfect solution.
I just took a pan of cinnamon rolls out of the oven and put them on a tray table in my living room to cool. The smell of baking cinnamon is now permeating the entire house and easily covering the last traces of Pepe le Pew. AND I get a tasty snack for later…yum!!!
Now, if only we could evict him from the neighborhood permanently…
Is there any chance that this would work for “Eau de Palin?”
Please remove the pull tab so it stays zipped!!
*snort*
and Happy Last Day of Hurricane Season, also, too, since this is the open thread. Whew! 2 years in a row with no major tropical action…(muttering about that $%^#*&%# BP oil though)
Cold here tonight…well 51 degrees…but a strong north wind and Florida cold is colder than cold in other places, don’tcha know? Predictions for mid -30s overnight. Brrrrr!
I’m fixin’ to crawl between my flannel sheets with a good book. Who cares if it’s only 7 pm? It’s full dark already! This crow is no night owl… 🙂
Good night, laila tov, and sweet dreams, all.
I took a much-needed sanity break from Sarah and her foolish, self-centered world. Look at what I found, It really made my day. This is an intelligent woman, her writing is clear and lucid and enjoyable to read. She is spending her energy making the world a better place, not lining her pockets.

Spankin’ Sarah Palin: A clown short of a circus
30.11.2010
I have already called Sarah Palin a pith-headed bimbo from the back of beyond, in this column. I shall now go one step further. By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country’s history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral.
Wow! Boy, he sure didn’t pull any punches in that article, did he?
President Obama’s voice of sanity:
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2010/11/quote-25.html
His detractors on the left need to respect the way that he went about working for a repeal of DADT ( I know many were critical because it hadn’t happened sooner). If the repeal does happen, there will be no question about challenging that vote. The process was thorough and the troops have spoken out in support of ridding the forces of this unfair practice. Only stanch nut cases like John McCain will still fight against what is right.
I always said a congressional vote to repeal was the way to go instead of the courts which could be reversed.

This little post makes me shiver when I think that Palin wants to be President.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/scocca/archive/2010/11/30/sarah-palin-bush-tax-cuts-are-a-more-pressing-issue-than-war-in-korea.aspx
She wouldn’t have time to deal with any of the above since all her energy would be used attacking her critics.
I’m just wondering how the republicans will shore up the avalanche they created.
They allowed and egged palin on to do the dirty work in 08.
They have palin and glenn beck getting louder and crazier by the week. Nobody will stand up to them.
Rick S is a start.
But I’m wondering what it will take for the republicans to stop the tide. If they don’t start soon, it will be too late.
it seems Sarah’s troop (Tracks) is trippin’:
even This episode also featured the return of Track — Todd and Sarah’s eldest. We learned that Todd thinks Track is dumb, and he may be right. Track is taking over the family fishing business and he can’t seem to do anything right. He breaks the trailer. He leaves the fishing shack a mess. He sleeps late. He can’t even seem to catch fish,
poor fellow.
And, from all reports by people in the military – per the DD214 on Track – he did NOT serve in combat as is constantly projected by Sarah!
AKM, I don’t know how you can handle going through her recent book…I’m so burned out as to the Palin family that I’m not even reading your review any longer. Her idiocy drives me nuts!

In honor of Joe Scarborough’s blistering rebuke of Sarah Palin in Politico today, I thought it might be a good time for a little dittie. Please enjoy!
“Scarborough Fair” song link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEhAXQ5QQzs
SCARBOROUGH’S FAIR
(sung to the Simon and Garfunkel song “Scarborough Fair”)
Now we’re talkin’, Joe Scarborough’s fair.
He was sage and thoughtful this time.
Of Sarah P., he laid the facts bare.
Electing her should be deemed a crime.
Scarborough dragged Palin right through the dirt.
(She is shallow and shrill bordering on obscene)
Sarah’s rage will explode this time.
(World –view is narrow, ignorance unbound)
She twits and tweets like a dumb jerk.
(Empress sans clothes just sneerin’ and poutin’)
Joe Scarborough nailed her this time.
(Sarah Palin will give him a call)
Joe says that Palin’s a mouse, not a man.
(A thin résumé, a failed beauty queen)
On the stage, she thinks she’s just fine.
(Watch her wave to all of her peers)
Truth be told, her script’s on her hands.
(Palin dreams and prays she’s “The Next One”)
Joe Scarborough thinks she is slime.
Her Twitter tweets are a fickle bellwether.
(Her anger blazing like rabid wild stallions)
Facebook rage will come in due time.
(Sarah will order her soldiers to kill)
But the seething mol can’t keep it together.
(Few will fight for a cause long forgotten)
Joe Scarborough beat her this time.
Now we’re talkin’, Joe Scarborough’s fair.
He was sage and thoughtful this time.
Of Sarah P., he laid the facts bare.
Electing her should be deemed a crime.
Oh my… if I could even DESCRIBE the path you just took me down…
This song was the title track on the first LP I ever owned. When I was 7 or 8 years old. Mid-1960s era. My dad really wanted me to get the “Wednesday Morning” album, but no, I insisted: “Scarborouh Fair” or nothing doin’ — so this very TIMELY revision is very much pleasing me! Thanks!
I wish she would just “zip it”. Maybe the media could have a national ‘opt – out’ day or week. With no media coverage of Ms. Palin. We could all use the break!
Judge moves Alaska Senate case to Juneau
By BECKY BOHRER
The Associated Press
Monday, November 29, 2010; 6:42 PM
JUNEAU, Alaska — A state court judge has moved a lawsuit over Alaska’s still-disputed U.S. Senate race from Fairbanks to the state capital, Juneau.
Judge Douglas Blankenship said Monday that the case brought by Republican Joe Miller raises statewide issues and that he believes it’s inconvenient for the state to be involved in a case in Fairbanks.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in candidate following her loss to Miller in the GOP primary. Unofficial results show her leading Miller by 10,328 votes. Excluding votes challenged by Miller observers, she still had a 2,169-vote lead.
However, a federal judge has conditionally halted certification of the race, saying Miller’s challenge to the counting of write-in ballots raises “serious” legal issues that should be decided by a state court.
This was enjoyable:

Yes, we would.
Thanks for the link – great read.
great work Fly….as per usual.
Great posts this morning! I loved some of the the links. I’ve got a great idea for Sarah. She can write her presidential resume’ on a cocktail napkin. It will fit with plenty of room for her speaking notes. As Dr. Evil once said, “Zip it.”
Or her hand. More handy that way!
BTW, I’m lovin’ “Blamestream Media”. I’ll be using that one.
I was looking back at Rachel Weiner’s NYT’s article in which she is relates the meeting between Mrs. Quittypantsonfire and Fred Malek, political advisor to Reagan, et al. He advises her how to win the Republican nod in 2012. Be a strong governor, back Republican allies, educate yourself in international politics. The basics. She replies:
“I’ve got a long commute from my house to my office. I don’t have the funds to pay for my family to travel with me, and the state won’t pay for it, either.”
That woman would never be in the White House. She just wants a free jet. Air Force One won’t ever stay in the hangar.
You’re right – I think Malek dropped her – $he hasn’t dated him since that fancy dress party a couple of years ago. You can’t buy class no matter what gown you put on it.
A grizzly in a tutu is still a grizzly.
A pit bull in lipstick in a ball gown is still a pit bull.
A pink elephant is still a sign that you’re drunk, no matter what it’s wearing.
A person at Belmont in a see through T with a black bra is still a cheap floozy with an engraved invitation embarrassing the heck out of her hostess.
She didn’t buy class at Belmont. Why would we think she would any other time? Or that she knows how?
LOL. She thought “high-class cachet” came with the clothes bought for her at Nieman-Marcus.
It’s the wearing of your otter-fur purse into those high-powered fancy dinners that reeally makes you classy Sarah. Not.
Yeah, it’s the 14 different rhinestone flags she wears that makes her classy. Not.
The $arah Whinehouse Beehive does it for me. Hot for the 1950s, Baby!
Here is a clip from Morning Joe. He is sick of Palin.

Health Care Hypocrite Andy Harris Did Not Provide Health Insurance For Campaign Staffers
November 24, 2010 11:37 am ET by Matt Finkelstein
Last week, Rep.-elect Andy Harris (R-MD) received some unwanted media attention for his conduct at an orientation session for new House members. An anesthesiologist who campaigned on a pledge to repeal health care reform, Harris was reportedly furious to learn that his government-sponsored insurance would not kick in his first day on the job. “This is the only employer I’ve ever worked for where you don’t get coverage the first day you are employed,” he reportedly griped.
Harris’ stance was not only hypocritical, but utterly foolish. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, “Seventy-four percent of covered workers face a waiting period before coverage is available,” with an average wait time of 2.2 months. Of course, many employers eschew health benefits altogether. As it turns out, Harris is such an employer:
Republican Congressman-elect Andy Harris and Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards, unlike other Maryland congressional candidates, did not provide health insurance, cover payroll taxes or pay for unemployment insurance for their campaign workers, a practice that may skirt IRS rules.
The politicians avoided these costs by paying their campaign staffs as independent contractors instead of regular employees, according to expense reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The Daily Times adds, “Some of the workers for the Harris campaign do not appear to qualify as independent contractors.”
11/30/2010 12:08:12 AM
It’s not so much that the republicans do any of this stuff, it’s the hypocracy that is astounding. And I don’t think some of them have caught up with the internet. They still think they can say things that are flat out lies and no one will remember it two years from now. Luckily for all of us, all those insane things are forever.

No worries, Irishgirl. One little typo is nothing compared to the mess I made above.
Thanks for that link. I still chuckle when I remember the story of the password she chose for that Yahoo account – such in-depth security.
Sarah Jones has a good article on Palin and her bib mouth.
“Ms Palin claims the latest round of leaks prove Obama’s incompetence:
“…the latest round of publications of leaked classified U.S. documents through the shady organization called WikiLeaks raises serious questions about the Obama administration’s incompetent handling of this whole fiasco.”
One wonders then how Ms Palin explains the leaking of her yahoo account she used to conduct Alaskan state business on to Wikileaks during the 2008 campaign. Thank goodness Sarah Palin didn’t have access to our national security secrets at that time.”
http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palins-dangerous-wikileaks?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+politicususa%2FfJAl+%28Politicus+USA+%29
Bingo!
Good point. It didn’t take someone with access to important documents to share what Sarah was up to, just a curious young man with too much time on his hands.
Exactly. Here’s a woman who was so stupid her yahoo password was guessed by a college kid. Who was so stupid she was pranked in a phone call. Who was so stupid her Facebook account was hacked.
She should STFU.
Yabbut how does she keep all those Mat-Su Valley people shut up?
She must know something about keeping things from leaking – look how many of the ethics charges she tefloned out of, how many didn’t stick, how she had most of them dumbed down just with shaming?
Is Tawd a one-man mafia?
Or is the Corrupt Bitches Club that adept?
Just curious.
Heh… I was just thinking about Sarah last night and how more is not necessarily better, sometimes it is just more.
Sometimes more is worse–more mud in a mudslide. More ash from a volcano. More higher high tides in a tsunami. More also too’s. More pages in a Palin book. More Candies PSA’s. More water during flooding. More colleges attended without graduating from anything. More book profits while your opponent, who doesn’t even think about you, gives his to Support the Troops’ Families. More pollution in Lake Lucille.
Believe it or not, Joe Scarborough should be declared our hero for today! You’re going to love this:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45687.html
I was just about it to post it. You beat me to it.
Expect a FB rant in 5.4.3.2.1…..
Kudos to scarborough for taking her on but…… Where was he when she was lying about death panel.
Where was he when she claimed to have given birth in April, 2008?
I can’t quite bring myself to call Scarborough a hero, not with personal track record nor with his unrealistic view of Ronald Reagan, George H. and George W. Bush. Sorry, that ain’t going to happen around this house. Putting those folks on a pedestal as being the best of the best just doesn’t cut it for me. Nor can I tolerate Joe’s put-downs of President Obama.
Joe’s own ego isn’t much more tamed than Sarah’s, as he inflates his own meager background far beyond its merit.
That said, I was almost breathless at his ferocity towards Sarah. We always knew her own mouth would bring her down, and we always knew the Republicans would have to be the ones to attack her with ruthless force first.
I wouldn’t want to be the one monitoring his email today, would you? From all that we hear from our favorite bloggers, it won’t be pretty. The bots will be on high alert, loading their emails with all the misspelled nastiness they can muster, and I wonder how many will bring up Joe’s skeletons form the past in their fury.
However, I absolutely enjoyed reading his take down of Saint Sarah. He really didn’t get that far into the things that we know are wrong with her, but he did quite well nonetheless in ripping off a large percentage of her carefully constructed public mask. He won’t the last.
I wonder, though, if Sarah’s ego will allow her to back down. Will she go quietly into background, content to nurse her wounds and try to invest the money she has made so it will last until her old age? Maybe, but I bet not likely. If the GOP does attack her, will she try to run as a third party candidate?
Who knows, but the fight is on – I guess we will soon see if Sarah is all bluster or not. If she cannot defend herself from this first rather potent salvo, we can probably breathe a little easier.
Cut and run or stand and fight – it’s in Sarah’s court now.
oopsey – ” . . . Joe’s skeletons from the past . . . .” not form
and “We won’t be the last.” though part of me admits to a possible Freudian slip wishing “he won’t last.” hehe (can you tell he is my least favorite MSNBC news host (well, okay, next to Mika). Sorry.
Oh – it’s back to bed for me — “He won’t be the last.” not We.
Rule number one – when you’ve had less than three hours sleep, someone should hide the keyboard so you don’t make a total pooh of yourself. I apologize dear mudpups.
I know what you mean about his inbox…he’ll have to a new security staff to protect him from all of Sarah’s devout (Christian?) fans.
Can you really call those who slander and attack at will with death threats and such Christians? I don’t think so
None of the rest think of them in that way, but I’m sure that’s what they call themselves. Reminds me of the “popular” kids in high school. THEY were the ones who called themselves that and most of the rest of the school just went along with it. I woke up one day and decided that I wasn’t just going along with the crowd.
{{{{{ ks sunflower }}}}} looks like we’re in sync about Joe this morning.
I agree,ks. I don’t care for Joe, but I do think he’s right on this- doesn’t mean I like him any better, I just agree with him here.
“What man or mouse with a fully functioning human brain and a résumé as thin as Palin’s would flirt with a presidential run? It makes the political biography of Barack Obama look more like Winston Churchill’s, despite the fact that the 44th president breezed into the Oval Office as little more than a glorified state senator.”
Cheap shots at our POTUS (whatever happened to “respect the office even if you don’t respect the man”?) from a pundit who is little more than a glorified state representative who quit in his second term. Meh.
While I’m glad he called out the Republican Par-tea, Joe Scarborough is not now nor will he ever be a hero in my book.
He served one ….and a Half!!!…terms in Florida’s House of Representatives, before he Quit “to spend more time with his family.” The rumors of marital infidelity and his divorce couldn’t have anything to do with his resignation, eh? I’m sure it had nothing to do with the dead girl they found in his office: http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010808Klausutis.html …nor his whatzername-like opportunity as con$ervative $poke$mouth Morning Joe.
I live in his district. He did NOT represent me, and when he Quit, we had to spend a whole bunch of money on a special election to replace him. Fi$cal Con$ervative? Meh. Joe puts the ICK in the Republ-ICK-an Par-Tea.
Whatzername and Morning Joe…quitting quitters, whining whiners, finger-pointing finger-pointers. Calico cat…meet gingham dog. Maybe if they continue fighting amongst themselves, we can recapture our Yes We Can hope for change…
Rant over.
{{{{{ OMG and Irishgirl }}}}}
Stormy today, but I’ll be in meetings with the school district all day, so that’s fitting. Going down into the 30s tonight…fire in the wood stove, flannel sheets, good book, sweet dreams.
L’Shalom.
thatcrowwoman
I don’t know if it is true or not, but I heard Joe say that he quit his office because they were having a lot of trouble with one of their boys. Apparently the family stayed in Florida and he felt he needed to be home because of that. I’m not a fan of his, but he seemed sincere when he was talking about it.
I don’t often agree with Joe Scarborough, and I still don’t agree with him about Reagan. But he is spot on with his assessment of Sarah and I hope this gives other republicans the courage to start standing up to her nonsensical rhetoric. Until they do, we are all stuck with her.
Lets all hope we can soon see more republicans speak out. I don’t like Joe but for once applaud him for his actions. There were pretty nasty comments in the article.
That’s the first time I’ve enjoyed something he’s said..!
there is always hope:
A closer look at Sarah Palin’s book tour
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/sarah_palin/index.html?story=/news/feature/2010/11/29/sarah_palin_book_tour_dallas_open2010
And there are 4.8mil people in the Dallas-FtWorth area.. If they’d wanted to see her, they’d have driven. It wasn’t in the news much, either–a few snippets. Mistreating the press in Tx is backfiring.
That’s fantastic! I wonder if she will get the message. Since there wasn’t a tornado overhead or a blizzard or an ice storm, she’ll have a hard time coming up for a reason for the non-event low turnout.
It was a nice weather day, too–perfect to be out. I am so glad few showed up because I get tired of the press acting like all of TX likes her when they don’t. I heard big money TX Republicans are embarrassed by her.
The news channel I watched that night said that “hundreds” showed up. The reporter did act like it was us who were blessed by her presence…..said a “political celebrity” was in the area. YUCK! Glad to hear from a different perspective.
