Sarah Palin vs Corrupt Bastards' Scheming

...Peasants contra VichyPepe d'Versailles.

The great sagas never die.

An interesting subtext here is that Sarah won her governorship on a very Tea Partyish anticorruption platform--aimed just as freely at republican operators [such as Murkowski's papa] as at democrat apparatchiks. This is very much an "the Empire strikes back" move, an oeuvre in Red and Brown against the reactionary bourgeosie and upstart kulaks. The CBS guys are just cheap ho's to the gangstas.

Why Pepe Went Bonkers

great line: "No, don't be embarrassed or ashamed, most of your friends don't even give me the bikini"

California outshines them all

...of course Tecs thinks that 'physics' stuff is all nonsense, not like an earthquake homomorphism.

Mexican Alaska

Alaska, surrounded by Pete Best-style drag queens, is certainly a formidable character. Yards of bosom and assertive orange hair. She doesn't try to hide her age, the way American women actors and performers do. She's mature and flaunts it. No misty, baby-faced, shallow nymphet look for her! There are no parallels to Alaska in current American entertainment -- a mark of our cultural poverty and punitive gender norms.

Goreball warming freezes Palin's butt off

Joys of American tundra. Pepean Lysenkoism in all its glory. Where is MFT to tell us all about it?

Sowell Contra AI and PP.

"Intellectuals, according to Mr. Kristof, are people who are “interested in ideas and comfortable with complexity,” people who “read the classics.”
It is hard to know whether to laugh or cry.
.......
What is more telling, form was enough to impress the intellectuals, not only then but even now, years after the facts have been revealed, though apparently not to Mr. Kristof.
.................................
The intellectual levels of politicians are just one of the many things that intellectuals have grossly misjudged for years on end............
It would be no feat to fill a big book with all the things on which intellectuals were grossly mistaken, just in the 20th century — far more so than ordinary people.
.....................
How have intellectuals managed to be so wrong, so often? By thinking that because they are knowledgeable — or even expert — within some narrow band out of the vast spectrum of human concerns, that makes them wise guides to the masses and to the rulers of the nation.
But the ignorance of Ph.D.s is still ignorance and high-IQ groupthink is still groupthink, which is the antithesis of real thinking.

AI gets Dunn Graded

"Gibson is supposed to have demonstrated the case [against Palin] through asking questions about matters that he himself does not understand. Most irritating are the conservative writers wailing counterpoint to this melody.
They may be right. But as we've seen, it's not likely."

AI, do we see a pity "C" on the horizon?

"Palin has gained her experience where it counts. Not in the Ivy League, not at the think tanks, not in the Senate. But down in the trenches, where life is for real, and the work gets done because it must be done. There is no more common figure in American history than the "unprepared" backwoods politician who steps forward in the midst of crisis. From Lincoln through Truman, there is no end of them, at all levels of the political sphere."

But then what would the Anti-American Eagle do without Harvard Men like Baracky Obama, and El Gore, and Toady Kennedy to lead the Way to Perdition?

Blabbering nabobs of positivism

JJ's heartthrob expounds on economics: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the -- it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

Nookular combat toe to toe with the Roosskies

Palin can see those Roosskies from her house. Is she gonna do something about them coming to git Alaska?

Here's to the girl from the great Northwest, with tits as hard as a hornet's nest

At least, she looks better than Joe Biden

Portugal. The Man

This is the most famous thing to come out of Wasilla. That, and someone (what's her name?) McCain picked to run with him. Great. Just great.

Sean Penn: Man Turns Nature on Himself

I read Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild while at a Border's one afternoon a couple years ago. The nonfiction story ends when the hero dies of starvation after eating some bad food in the Alaskan outback. It reminds somewhat of that guy who spent a while petting grizzlies up in Alaska, the final footage of him getting mauled to death by Nature.

Watch Out, Penn! Sounds like he really screwed over the parents in this one.
