Why's the media afraid of Sarah Palin?
In case you didn't know, Sarah Palin's autobiography, Going Rogue, comes out on Tuesday. The media has gotten their mitts on advance copies (of course) and (also of course), have decided to savage her.The headline on this week's Socialist Newsweek (what, they haven't renamed it yet?) reads, "How do you solve a problem like Sarah? Why's she's bad for the GOP (and for America)." The AP assigned 11--11!--half-brained reporters to "fact-check" the book (remember that when you hear the AP bitching about how they just don't have enough staff to cover the news) and the New York Times, in shocking fashion, slams her -- and her supporters -- by bemoaning "just
Just keepin' it real
So just a few minutes ago, I went over to our local Chic-fil-a (also commonly known as the Single Greatest Fast Food restaurant EVER) to get dinner, since the Missus is under the weather. Business for the evening rush really hadn't picked up yet, so I walked straight up to the counter to place my order.The girl who was taking my order had a co-worker, maybe 17 years old, jabbering in her ear. Apparently, they'd been having a conversation about another co-worker before I showed up. Instead of doing the smart thing and shutting up, the kid kept talking."See, one of my homeboys was there, so I know she was keepin' it real, you know what I'm sayin'?"I looked
How Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize
Keep in mind, the real remarkable aspect of this is that he did something within two weeks of being sworn in that was good enough for him to get nominated. I mean, that's truly remarkable; to do enough for world peace in 14 days that a bunch of politically-motivated morons with a hatred of George W. Bush and U.S. stature in the global community thought he was deserving of consideration. I mean, plainly this is not socialists helping socialists; after all, they can point to Obama's doing a lot since his nomination to clinch the award. His feats include:Devaluing the dollar, not only damaging the American economy but the global econom
YOU'RE A RACIST!
This pretty much sums up the idiotic left--ahem, excuse me, progressive Democrat -- view of their opposition (hat tip: Powerline; click on the image to expand):
We get letters...
A good sign that you're doing something right is if you're pissing someone off. In this case, criticizing Jimmuh Carter for making his astoundingly absurd comments about opponents of Obama all being racist brought out a survivor of Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS). BDS has evolved, now, to Wilson Derangement Syndrome (WDS), with leftist cooks stuck with their own stilted world view up in arms for a guy calling it as he saw it (I'm sure they were aghast when Pete Stark D-Calif., called GWB a Nazi and W. was booed during the 2005 State of the Union).I yield the floor to you, "Paul":South Carolina has a long list of dignitaries that includes Lauren Cai
