The Heart of Darkness Came to Nevada, And So Did the Croc Hunters
Sarah Palin came to Nevada and Stacy McCain was there to document the angry mobs full of angry spitting racists whom she led in various anti-gay chants against Manly-Man Barney Frank. To read some of the commentary, you’d think the authors were sailing down a gloomy river in search of an ivory trader named Kurtz [...]
Word of Palin’s Speech Hits the Bunker
Even though it’s been out nigh unto forever (in internet years, which are like dog years except the multiplier is in days), I still laugh at the Hitler Downfall movie caption clips that pop up on YouTube. When one is done well (and lots of them are), the effect of Adolph Hitler going berzerk over [...]
Obama and Palin, Like Two Ships Whose Poll Numbers Pass in the Night
Were I running the Obama ’12 War Room (and you’d better believe there is one), I’d be hitting the panic button right about now. The latest Gallup poll (the one the MSM likes because it’s not Rasmussen) has the President’s approval rating one percentage point from being upside-down. He’s sitting at 47-46 right now and [...]
At Least She’s Interesting…
Last week, I wrote a bit about how I think Sarah Palin could do with being less guarded and how, when she makes mistakes, she should claim ownership of them with grace and good humor. As it happens, Stacy was hunting down that very same trail. All of which is to say, you are the [...]
Sarah Palin? Yeah, She’s Great, But…
I spent a little bit of time talking about Sarah Palin in the latest episode of The Delivery. I didn’t get quite as much time as I wanted and I didn’t get to say anything about her interview with Rush Limbaugh, which was actually very good. Hey, I only block half an hour for politics [...]
The Dour Nuns of Newsweek Try to Solve the Palin Problem
Ed Driscoll catches Newsweek engaging in some Rule 5 action to move a few more copies off the newsstands. He notes that the magazine’s circulation is swirling the bowl and hasn’t gotten any better since it’s become The Barack Obama Butt-Smooching Weekly. Keep in mind, as you read Newsweek’s headline that Maria wasn’t actually a [...]
Announcing, a TrogloContest. Bring all Your Funny!
Troglopundit has opened a Sarah Palin Motivational Poster contest and the entries are funnier than watching Michael Moore and Janeane Garofalo fall down a flight of stairs. Start with this introductory post, then his follow-up posts here, here, and here. He’s soliciting more entries, which you can e-mail to him if you don’t have a [...]
Palin’s Book Makes Number One on Amazon; Left-Wingers Make Number Two in Their Jeans
Dear Lord, the left must be in Code Yellow Pants-Soiling Mode right now. Sarah Palin’s book Going Rogue: An American Life is the top seller on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble seven weeks before its release date and barely two days after the release date was announced. Heck, it’s so far from hitting the [...]
