After catching the last story in Huff Post about See Sawah Run joining the birthers; is anyone really surprised? It was a matter of time.
Meanwhile, the Zsa-Zsa wannabe just lost yet another motion to get one of her many Birther cases before a judge. This time it was that Judge Carter from California who dismissed it. She must be crushed after going batshit crazy on steroids on various tv shows being so sure this judge would rule in her favor. Hope does spring eternal in these people's lives.
I wonder if Orly and Sawah waved at each other when Sawah was, you know, watching Russia from her front porch?
Well, it's official. Obama did drink Georgie's kool-aid. While his speech was not nearly as manic and psychotic as I've heard Georgie on the subject on those wars, he was reiterating him. Particularly when it came to the wording, according to Huffington Post.
Obviously, he never read Michael Moore's open letter. He most certainly wasn't listening to his own constituents. I doubt even most of the Dems in his own party agree with this decision. All were probably thinking the same thing: neither Afghanistan nor the Iraq wars were his. He could have ended both of them right now; sign orders to bring the troops home; to cut their losses. All who voted for him and his fellow Democrats (with perhaps the exception of Blue Dogs and members of C street) would not only have let him go for pulling the plug on both wars but it would have been more welcome than this. Obama is now a 'war president', having taken ownership of Afghanistan war.
Imperialism is still imperialism, no matter who does it. Funny how Obama called the U.S. relationship with Pakistan a 'partnership'. Perhaps before making such assumptions, he should have checked some polls about the Pakistani people.
A Gallup poll in Pakistan last August showed that only 11% of Pakistanis felt that the Taliban were the biggest threat to their country. 18% felt India was the biggest threat and, you guessed it, the poll indicates that the U.S. is their biggest threat. That same poll also concluded that 67% of Pakistanis were against any Americans conducting operations in that country. That message to me is loud and clear; the Pakistanis never asked for our help and they don't want or need it.
As for the Afghans, they too, no longer welcome us in their country. They never welcomed foreigners. The Soviets learned that the hard way. This is a country where democracy clearly doesn't work. The so-called elected Karzai government is corrupt and that will never ever change.
The Taliban will never disappear completely as no one can really know who they are. The Afghan people seem to believe that Taliban occupation is the lesser of the evils. Yes, even the women believe this. Life hasn't changed that much for them. Karzai is still very much a misogynist, having made into law that husbands were allowed to rape their wives; the term 'rape' doesn't exist in their world. It's how both men and women over there prefer it.
As for Al-Qaeda, most are from Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan. There is nothing to indicate that they would even still be in Afghanistan or Pakistan for that matter. After all those years, with all the intelligence the U.S. has to offer, such as the CIA, how come no one caught Al-Qaeda?
What is with Obama anyway? First, it was the waffling on the public option for health care reform; a plan that will significantly be watered down.
Now, he is practically giving a carbon copy speech of Georgie's.
What the hell does he hope to achieve? He obviously hasn't learned that in trying to make all happy, you make everyone unhappy and this is what exactly is happening here.
Obama will never endear himself to Republicans, the ever-growing loud tea-baggers and of course, the Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Fox News machines. I expect it will get worse. Obama may have had a shot at a second term if he pulled the troops out now and just not taken ownership of this war. It will worsen as this time, he will have alienated his supporters and they won't be so quick to defend him.
Below, is Michael Moore's reaction on the Larry King Show last night. His take is that he still believes Obama is a decent man with a good heart, but he is taking very bad advice that will cost him.
Since Obama is sure to be a one term president and his former supporters will either abstain from voting in the next election or vote for a fringe candidate like Ralph Nader, I dare say, Say hello to President Palin. I know, a gloomy outlook, but she will be the GOP candidate as they have no one near the star status of See Sawah run. Intelligence obviously doesn't matter here; like Ronald Reagan being the useful idiot to Don Regan of Merrill Lynch, Sawah will have a corporate puppet master running the country behind the scenes.
No, she won't win because she will end the wars, if anything, she'll probably expand wars all over Middle-East. She will win because the noisy minority of the growing popularity of the Tea-bagger movement will outshine the cynical and silent progressives.
She will also win the same way Georgie did; scaring American voters into believing only she and the GOP and tea-baggers can keep them safe; to keep the Communist Muslim boogie men from hiding under their beds. This escalation has already provoked the Taliban to strengthen their resolve. No doubt Al-Qaeda will be provoked into further attempts at attacks on U.S. soil. Obama will be blamed for that as well.
I wish it were April fool or Halloween, but anything short of Obama changing his mind and withdrawing the troops immediately and cutting their losses, his presidency is over. I really hope he realizes this decision will ruin the U.S. by giving the keys to Sawah.
Indeed, as soon as I saw the pics and captions of the 15 toys not to buy your kids, ever in Huffington Post. I honestly can't believe there are twisted sociopathic minds at work when creating these toys. YIKES!!
Violence, sexism and racism are the main themes. Even Elmo lost his innocence after you change his battery. Imagine my horror when I found that was made by Fisher Price. Yeesh!! What happened to those old FP education toys my generation grew up with? Toys that forced us to be imaginative.
No wonder susequent generations are becoming scarier, if they're growing up on toys like I just saw.
Another reason to hate commercialism. Another reason to hate the holidays.
Oh wait! Here' s a new version of an old Christmas carol sure to upset the Blogging Tories and the Tea-baggers. Here are the "Twelve Days of Palin"
What is the appeal indeed? Well, last night, I posted a video on my page with fans waiting at a book signing in Ohio who's best answers to what I found to be questions that weren't hard, were uh, huh, uh, I dunno, some answered with a few actual sentences that sounded even dumber than than the 'I dunno's', the Uh's, etc.
Beware, Boys and Girls, this is another nicotine withdrawal bad day so not too many folks will be spared in tonight's posting.
We know why boys like Justin with his raging tory hormones like her: he sees her in his wet dreams along with Carrie Prejean.
I just visited SUZY ALLCAPSLOCK's page where she wrote an article about the subject. Long winded. Same as the comments she has on her BBW page; basically, Sawah's not dumb: it's just that us lefties don't like her. Wow, what a justification here! We don't like her; we never did and we openly admit this. How does this take away from the fact that she's still dumb?
Ah, another wingnut from the Blogging Tories: Dodo! Here is something new and well, it does bring stupid to new heights. Read her post if you dare. As Fern Hill from Dammit Janetpointed out, that Dodo does seem to have a certain fixation for extinct animals. Since she never allows my comments at her blog to see the light of day because, free speech is for her and not for me, I will comment here. Bottom line is, apparently, we on the left are very unhappy people; which is why we criticise See Sawah Run. Here is an exerpt which is a fave of mine:
"These haters of Palin are jealous of the woman. Palin has accomplished in her 40+ years what a whole lot of these empty headed feminist bimbos have never been able to, even if they are staggering towards their 6-foot underground dwelling within the next little while. Most of these feminist haters of Palin have never been mothers, having probably aborted their babies at least once during their lifetimes, never had a loving, strong, deep relationship with either a partner or husband, never had a proper family life, never had loving parents, never had a successful career, never known the joy of hunting, never even been on a single fishing trip and has never known a deep lasting friendship. There is nothing in their lives that is good and meaningful so when they see an embodiment of what a woman of character and substance is really like, they are burned with jealously and hatred of the worst kind. It hits them that they took the wrong path and now it is a bit too late to change their ways."
OH NO! That Dodo just set my therapy back by three years or so. Hand me those cigarettes and that booze now, babe! All this, because I never knew the joys of watching Bambi get shot to death in the woods or sat in a boat to fish, an activity that is less exciting than watching paint dry.
Ladies from Progressive Bloggers and other like minded female bloggers: WE'S DOOMED according to Dodo.
Oh Dodo, I think it is you that is unhappy. Unhappy and paranoid; you seem to see evil lefties everywhere you look, including the pantry no doubt.
Seriously though: as amusing as speculating about See Sawah run for pres can be, it is serious: I dare to say she's even dumber than Georgie Jr. She may even need help from Dan Quayle.
Here are some 'Palinisms' : Some you already have heard and some you may have forgotten.
How about the time she was duped by the French language radio hosts from CKOI FM in Montreal into believing they were Nicolas Sarkozy?
She feuds publicly with a teen-ager. How dignified is that?
My big question that no one seems to remember really or talk about and it is in Sawah's book (fiction I know): the GOP blamed her for the John McCain loss in 2008. It got to the point they went to her home in Alaska to claim the clothes she purchased for the campaign trail on their dime. Clearly, they regretted selecting her to run with McCain. Why on earth would the GOP endorse her to be president? Unless, of course she joins that new Tea Bagger Party; the Tea Party Party (TeePeePee? Great acronym).
“Canada needs to dismantle its public health-care system and allow private enterprise to get involved and turn a profit.”
Yikes! Nice that she and others like her care more about the free markets and corporations to make profits rather than caring for actual sick human beings.
I came across this at Enormous Thriving Plants this fine evening. It's a RNC purity pledge for GOP members. Here goes:
(1) Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama's "stimulus" bill
Except, wasn't that Georgie's stimulus bill? Obama is just continuing where Georgie left off.
(2) Market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;
That has proven to not work over the years. Not very Christian of you folks to not provide health care for all, including the downtrodden
(3) Market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
(4) Workers' right to secret ballot by opposing card check
(5) Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
Oh Hell, why stop there? Oppose immigration of any kind!
(6) Victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
Well, it looks like Obama is about to follow that advice by caving in and sending 34 000 troops. Hey, this should make you happy; like Lyndon B Johnson's presidency was sunk by the Vietnam war, these wars will be Obama's Vietnams
(7) Containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat
(8) Retention of the Defense of Marriage Act; Yes, let's defend all marriage acts: heterosexual and homosexual
(9) Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
Hmm! Is that what a public option among other things in the health care reform supposed to do? Also, as to the rationing and denying health care, isn't the market system already accomplishing those two items?
(10) The right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership
No, of course not, there's just not enough gun tragedies going on
And what does this have to do with Reagan? "President Ronald Reagan believed ... that someone who agreed with him 8 out of 10 times was his friend, not his opponent," the resolution states. With that in mind, if a candidate strayed from the list on three more issues, the RNC resolution, if approved, would block him/her from receiving financial support and/or official endorsements.
Oh and don't forget, only watch Faux News because it's all you can trust. Take an interview with any other network and that's a mark against the purity pledge.
Well, I guess the idea of Centrists doesn't exist. I've noticed that most so-called American Centrists lean to the right anyway and they have no trouble leaning further to the right, just to avoid Evil Socialism! Most don't know the meaning of the word, but it's been so perversed and now considered such a bad word that the true meaning of Socialism is now going to need another word.
I saw this over at Canadian Cynic's. Unlike CC, I did watch past 1:43. Yah, it was a lot more folks showing that they're dumber than Sawah herself, CC didn't miss much. Most appear to not have beyond a grade 6 education. They've been brainwashed into believing Obama is a commie and only Sawah (or Glenn and Rush for that matter) care about freedom.
If anyone of those buffoons and bimbos were to stop and think (yes, Canadian neo-cons too): What freedom? Think about this one very carefully: did they ever have freedom really? (Forget Obama as pres; but think even under Reaganomics, Daddy-O Georgie and Danny Boy and Georgie Jr and Dickie. They're more or less free under Obama.
I like that idiot with the steeler's jacket saying that Russia is across the street from Sawah's home. Wow! Cool, cross the street, and one can buy the real vodka.
I also like the idiot who claims that two of Obama's books are about his covert ways of turning the U.S. into a Marxist, Leninist, socialist state. How would he know? I don't think he can read anything beyond a picture book by Dr Seuss. Clearly, he doesn't know the meaning of any of those words.
Clearly, those folks don't have much beyond a grade 6 education, they look like folks who could probably benefit from health care reform the most and they're paranoid. Clearly unhappy people.
Since these folks are stupid, ill-informed and don't have lives, I can understand why they love Sawah: as one of those clowns pointed out, she is 'the rock star of conservatism'.
My question is, why do folks beyond a grade 6 education: folks who actually know Russia can't be seen from Alaska and that Afghanistan isn't our neighbor and can actually answer a question like what do you like to read, vehemently support Sawah for pres in 2012 or anytime for that matter??
Apparently there are some folks planning to write a spoof of see Sawah run book, Going Rogue. It's a goin' to be called, Going Rouge.
Here is how I envision the cover:
Also, since she probably only has the writing ability of a grade schooler, I wrote in an earlier posting how See Sawah Run's book would read. You can read it here. I do caution you though...after reading it, you may feel your IQ drop a few points! What do you expect? It was my Birthday the day I posted that.
Remember leftake.com's contest for snarky book titles for Sawah's new Book?? Bill Maher comes up with a few in the video below. Some doozies too, from Crooks & Liars.
Well, I thought I would add a Canadian feature this week before heading to, once again, American Right Wing: a group no one can seem to get enough of.
Conservative Dating Service-CHarmony, because being a Neo-con in Canada or in the U.S. must be lonely sometimes: Here's a spoof of an ad which was posted to so many blogs this week, with good reason. However, we must remember that most good humour is derived from truth. I really do wonder if this is how 'wholesome' conservatives mate:
Sarah Palin wrote a book & is set for release in November but already sold many copies on Amazon.com. In my Birthday edition of Brain Drain Fun, I took a guess at what the story would be: a very short one; the other 399 pages would be all pictures.
Well, it seems there are other goodies I never would have guessed in this book. Probably should have added her geography lesson October, 2008: she called Afghanistan “our neighboring country”. Almost forgot about that one. Gee, who needs geography class when we got Sawah Pawin??
Also, David Letterman features Sawah's top 10 tips for writing a book: Watch the video below:
Incidentally, Leftake.com is having a contest to retitle Sawah's book: Going Rogue: An American Life. They think there are much 'snarkier' title choices & are opening the forum.
I wouldn't be surprised if this judge recuses himself simply to save his own mental health; hell, maybe even take sick leave.
Well, that is tonight's edition of Saturday Night Brain Drain Fun, except to say that given rumours of Sawah & Todd splitting & that Orly so obviously has way too much time on her hands, perhaps they should find mates. Perhaps try C-Harmony. But, then, they would both be probably matched up with Dan Quayle, assuming he is still alive, of course. Oh, wait!! Why should it matter if he's dead or alive? The brain never really clicked. Brain dead would be perfect for those two!!
So Sawah Pawin is coming out with a book. WOW!! She'd been working on it since resigning as Governor. Must be a very short book indeed, I mean, where did she find the time to learn to write so quickly? Well, folks, if you see any words written in capital letters, don't ask; probably typed out by none other than SUZY ALLCAPSLOCK, herself.
I usually don't do Brain Drain Fun during the week, but what the hell, it's my Birthday & when you're a cranky tired old gen-exer, Birthdays don't tend to be fun anymore & it doesn't really take much to entertain myself. So here is a Brain Drain Fun moment. Besides, sometimes, certain rules are just made to be broken.
For tonight's Brain Drain Fun, I'm going to venture what the contents of Sarah Palin's book just might be:
Hello, boys & girls; let me tell you a story. I lived in a little town called Wasilla, Alaska. You know where that is: you can see Russian from the front porch! I was the prettiest girl in all the land. So pretty, I won the Miss Wasilla pageant. But then, something terrible happened. I wasn't the prettiest girl in Alaska. Two other girls were prettier than me. NOT FAIR!! I went to...lesseee....(counting on her fingers) .....5; yeah! 5 colleges. I flunked out of the other 4 because I couldn't spell the school names correctly. But I did it!! In only 6 years too!! I went on TV to do a show about sports. I married a prince named Todd. I like guns & nobody better take mine away! I like to hunt & ride my snowmobile... the bigger, the more pollution, the better! YAY!! I eat moose hamburgers...vegetarians are villains! I have 5 children. My oldest girl, Bristol is a verrrry bad girl! She went out out with a bad boy named Levi & they made a baby! They sinned! Will God forgive us all? I met an old man named John McCain. He asked me to be vice-president! Oh, & let me teach you something: The difference between a hockey mom & a pit-bull is lipstick! I learned about a big store called Niemen Marcus. It was fun! Some bad people bothered me. Some mean French radio hosts from...uh lessee now...uh...I think....Montreal played a mean trick on me. They pretended to be the president of France. How was I supposed to to know the president of France didn't speak English? There was a mean lady called Tina Fey. She was jealous of me, so she pretended to be me. Then we lost to a very bad man named Barack Hussein Obama. John McCain wasn't very nice to me no more: he wouldn't even let me talk on TV. Some bad people came to Alaska to take away all my new princess clothes. More bad people bothered me. Levi the bad boy who took my little girl's innocence away told bad things about me to a magazine. More bad people bothered me. I couldn't be governor no more...too many bad people. ... Bad Barack Obama wants to set up a death panel so everybody in all the land can get free health care. I want to be president to rule the world 2012. Yeah, I'll show 'em. I'll show all these mean people who bothered me & teased me. That, boys & girls is how we live a good life. Go to a Protestant church; eat wild meat, don't eat vegetables, don't touch each other. Polar bears are not part of the endangered species list. Always remember your fwend, Sawah Pawin.
The End
See? Nothin' to it. Memoirs: that would imply memory & memory would require some cognitive function.
If anybody has anything they would like to add, speculating about this book, please post them in the comments section.
I think for the week-end brain drain fun, I may throw together pictures that might be in that book. We'll see.
