– Which, to be fair to Ms Rhodes, them lonely days and nights in a winterproofed doublewide can be really trying on oversexed reindeer groomers and ice fishing aficionados. At least, that’s what her friends in Manhattan say. Besides, Alaska is barely even a part of the US. Like Mississippi or West Virginia or places like that. Hillbilly outre, as it were.
In fact, it’s total anarchy up there, is what I hear. So strange. So full of Otherness (which, sure, typically that’s the kind of exotic demographic championed by leftists, but in this case, it appears these strange creatures actually believe in guns and Jesus and individual rights — and almost none of them own the complete box set of “Sex in the City”. So really: can duelling banjos and inbreeding be far behind?).
Hell, I’m not even sure these “citizens” can get DirecTV. Or have ever once heard Jose Feliciano play an acoustic set in a small Greenwich Village cafe.
I mean, Jesus! Who are these…people…?

When I hear that someone was elected editor of Harvard Law Review, I think:
popularity contest winner.
Not just any popularity contest, but one amongst law school elite.
This does not evoke positive feelings in me for the winner. maybe a, “ummmm, well, that’s nice…”
Popularity contests within academic circles are suspect on matters of actual substance. So much so that I laugh at all the elitists falling all over themselves to be recognized as affirming the chosen.
Middle America could give a rats ass what the intellectual elites want to circle jerk themselves over and hopefully never will.
I am the unwashed.

Jeff G, could you please turn your gimlet eye and pen warm’d up in Hell, on today’s WSJ Weekend Journal, Pg W1, in which Lee Siegel, who wrote a book or somethin’, explains to us how Liberals define culture as Opera and art, and us flag-waving cousin-fuckers define it as chastity rings and Nascar. Or something. Then goes on to call Ms. Palin “mean, petty, and vindictive”. I’d make the obvious pot dissing kettle analogy, but then he’d call me a racialist. Hammer him, Thor!
Comment by Jeff G. on 9/13 @ 1:17 pm #
Sound to me like he’s already hammering himself.
Opera ain’t as big as NASCAR these days, and people who watch Fellini movies tend not to understand them, anyway.
Sometimes I think people like Siegel are double agents.

The announcement of Palin as McCain’s running mate has triggered an all-out frenzy of hatred and lunacy on the Left which has percolated up into the MSM. This has caused some of us on the right to protectively circle the wagons around her. The press, which has carefully scrubbed any mention of the true provocation, is now pointing at our defensiveness and yelling: “Look! They are circling the wagons around Palin! The right must be worried about her readyness!”
I think that the left-wing swarm attacks are a phenomenon that is influencing the dynamic of this election, and as such they should be reported and openly acknowledged in the press.

The commenters infected with Palinitis often started their hateful rants with “OMG”…”Dear Lord”…”Good God”…”Jesus Christ”…”Sweet Jesus”…ad nauseum. That is some terrible disease Sensible Sarah has delivered to Obama supporters. Pity.

well, I thought I’d go do a little pot stirring on the Obamabot blog (I’m “leftcoast_womyn”) to ask about if anyone was worried about a backlash for mocking McCain’s disability vis a vis keyboard. They scoff because:
>the claim is a “lie” because McCain uses a cell phone and black berry
>his arms were broken not his fingers
>he should have learned voice recognition software
but what is more revealing are these quotes:
>We live in the 21st Century now, if his hands are crippled like you say, maybe he shouldn’t be running for president. If he can’t handle a keyboard, he might press the wrong button on the HOTLINE!!!
>Being illiterate may be a disability that he gained from being a POW but we can NOT have an illiterate running our country! Are you stupid?!!
>BE HONEST FOR GOD SAKE! McCain OBVIOUSLY was too STUPID TO LEARN!!! So don’t even try it LAMO’S! McCain is trying to strip REAL HERO’s of their title and McCain is ABSOLUTELY SICK, SICK, SICK for doing so!

Fund did much better than I ever could, but he wasn’t able to keep up with the host and the other two guests very well, and therefore tacitly endorsed that Bush didn’t win in 2000, only in 2004.

After the proper meds for fever, there is not much you can do but drink plenty of cool (not cold) liquids … green tea, water ..or slightly warmed like broth. If you have nausea, coke syrup (it’s non prescription but you need to ask your pharmacist for it) over crushed ice.
Stay out of drafts, dress comfortable and light and SLEEP.

So what do we need to do to throw Salmon Rushies idiot fucking ass out of this country?

Thanks for the well-wishes. That coke syrup sound actually really good to me right now, Darleen.
But maybe laughter is the best medicine. My husband came into the bedroom with his powerbook and made me look at this post over at Ace’s. I’m still laughing. Lord I hope this isn’t some kind of delirium. I made DH print it out for me.

Had one of my local activist Dem friends over. We don’t discuss much politics and I’ve been keeping my yap shut even when he and his GF talk about Track getting his sis pregnant and shit like that.
Today, he just pipes up and asked about Gibson’s interview. Reluctantly, I just said I thought it was an inquisition. He surprised me by saying he thought it was too and that he was even pissed about it.
He doesn’t understand at all why she’s popular. I said ‘authenticity is what she brings’ and he was just ‘hunh?’ but I did my best to help him out.
No, he doesn’t think she’s qualified, but neither does he think Obama or Clinton is, so who knows?

I mean D Parton is just not on my screen at all. But that shouldn’t in any way concern you. If, as the troll implies, there is some cultural connection vis. Palin and Parton, well that just makes it worse for him, doesn’t it? B/c there isn’t a connection, really - Parton is Southern [to me], but Palin is Northern and we produce tough independent and practical women up here. Maybe not so much the men.

No for real, Dolly Parton is not a human tit-muppet. I never got to meet her but my mom did when she stayed in our little town when she was filming Whorehouse with Mr. Burt Reynolds and mom said she wasn’t really dazzled by Burt and that he didn’t seem to be glad to be in our little hick town at all but she said Dolly was warm and sweet and very very gracious. You sure can’t say a bad word about Dolly Parton to my mom.

- I’m a little surprised. CNN ran a piece debunking a lot of the bullshit lies and rumors the Left is spreading, showing they are both stupid and wrong.
- Then they got to the one that sayd she “wants to teach creationism in schools.”
- The announcer said. “Not quite.,,she thinks it shou;d be permissible to DISCUSS creationism in school.”

Instruction time is limited. It could get in the way of mandatory instruction in prevention and treatment of STD’s, certainly in a half-day kindergarten.
Comment by Ric Locke on 9/14 @ 10:36 am #
Dolly Parton is a prominent (!) expression of an American tradition that includes the song Yankee Doodle (and Dixie) and, currently, Jeff Foxworthy. The country music “scene” has adopted it as a primary theme since the Seventies. Parton’s on-stage persona is a sympathetic caricature of the Country Girl Moved to the City, and has always been appreciated as such. It owes a lot to Minnie Pearl. She writes a lot of the tit jokes her male co-performers deliver.
Have you ever seen a picture of Dolly without makeup and costume? I promise you, you wouldn’t look twice at the short, dumpy little frump. In that persona she is a major philanthropist and a tireless worker for economic development in Appalachia who puts a lot of her money where her mouth is, unlike most of her detractors.
I reckon she’d enjoy thor’s comment, recognizing it as part of the schtick she has spent so long developing and cultivating and closely related to the standard introductory line she encourages: “And here they are — Dolly Parton!” The fact that thor can’t figure out how it developed is simply a bonus.
Regards,
Ric

NPR did the big polls are completely stupid and unreliable expose, too, right when Baracky started losing his grip. Made a big damn deal out of cell phones. You would think NPR listeners wouldn’t be that stupid but I think they find the cell phone thing really persuasive, even though that’s pretty idiotic. If it were true a lot of people would be out of work.

Oh geez, Ric, I’d almost forgotten her. I loved her cuz she could make me laugh and was a dead ringer (especially the way she talked) for my paternal grandma, Jeannette Click. A Mormon woman born in UT who, age 15 married my granddad, 21, and had two kids in the next two years. Fiesty was her middlename, widowed in her 40’s and fiercely independent and a watercolor artist.
I’m always amazed how much dismissal and contempt the Beautiful People of NYC/DC/Frisco have for anyone outside their walled community. As if accents and humble beginnings are absolute indicators of intelligence and character.

“she not quail at having to undergo frequent and thorough interrogation by the news media, as other national politicians do.”
Quail? Anyway:
Ironically, the Hillary Clinton Forum published this list of the Obama questions:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?
And the Palin questions:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

McCain was e-mailing back in the 2000 campaign and is considered the most tech-savvy Senator.
Yeah, the idea that a guy who flew Navy fighter jets 40 years ago is incapable or uninterested in keeping up with cutting edge technology is a bit of a stretch.
Or, to put it another way, believing a trained carrier pilot is unable to comprehend what any 10 y.o. American girl can do is delusional.
Obviously, Bush is merely the figure head for Republican Derangement Syndrome.

K thor, reread the italicized line at the top of #187.
The point of referring to his history, is to help illustrate my doubt that he is the kind of person who would be bewildered by advances in technology, or lose interest in changes in technology, especially when the Senate ponders the problems presented by advancing technology.
I put it two different ways, do you understand my point NOW? There’s a good boy, have a cookie.
