But no worries. We’ve got Mitt.
Mitt.
Mitt, Mitt, he’s our man, if he can’t do it, well, maybe Jeb Bush and Karl Rove can get together with Chris Christie and figure something out.
(thanks to geoffB, who notes that Kimberlin and crew get a mention at about the 33 minute mark)
coulda been so beautiful coulda been so right
at the 29:00 mark Sarah warns (paraphrase) “whatever the outcome in November, don’t be co-opted by the Permanent Political Class. Don’t get sucked into the GOP machine. Don’t worry about being one of the cool kids. We cannot, cannot excuse GOP failures and spin it like the left has done for liberals.”
Now there is real Truth to Power.
K-Crew alluded to without name. THAT’s the way to do it, uh-huh. I think. Maybe.
It’s the internet age. Information is but a Google away. All you need is a keyword and curiosity. She provided a keyword and enough to get those, who don’t know about “Team BK,” curious.
One way, perhaps the best way, to teach someone something complex is to get them motivated to search out learn about it themselves.
Boy, we sure dodged a bullet by ridding ourselves of Palin.
She’s only 48.
but she’ll be 54 after Mitt’s first term and judging by the ageist scorn our friend madonna gets around here at 53 she might as well hang it up
sorry that was opposed to be 52 I’m distracted trying to learn how to make this cleaning droid work
Madonna is still dancing around with 20-year-old gay men, producing music for teenage girls and metrosexual boomers. When she kills and guts an elk at 53, give us a call.
I will call you I promise
She has been seriously damaged by the MFM and lots of “conservatives” either stood by and let it happen or actively participated.
I would vote for her in a heartbeat, but there are plenty of people who have bought the narrative. Many think Palin actually said she can see Russia from her house.
She’s killed and gutted dove and partridge when she was married to Guy Ritchie, Jeff. So she’s got that going for her.
Gotta think that the best thing that happened to Sarah was McCain losing. She came out strong and much tougher. If Romney wins, he’s gonna get blamed for the Obama hangover. She might be in a position to capitalize. I can’t see the libs convincing anyone of the righteous of their cause for a generation.
Assuming we are fighting for more than North American squatters’ rights, she has the backbone to keep us headed in the right direction,
And happy, please come back with a reasoned response , not a knee-jerk.
I’d rather happy keep his mouth shut on this one.
I’m not gonna carp at her every time she shows up at one of these rubber chicken thingies
a girl’s gotta make a living
Another nohitter bites the dust: Jason Hammel gives up a two out single after 7 2/3s, two walks. Fly ball out to end the threat.
Age when first elected President.
GW Bush 54
GHW Bush 65
Ronald Reagan 70
Bill Clinton 46
Barack Obama 47
Maybe we have finally decided that in the recipe for President, 40 something isn’t quite seasoned properly.
‘She’s killed and gutted dove and partridge when she was married to Guy Ritchie’
There’s a difference between killing and gutting fowl on the one hand and prancing around in Barbour tweeds shooting at clay pigeon (badly) on the other.
I’m just repeating what I read in that same newspaper. She also learned to ride at 42 and broke an arm. Shit happens.
McCain’s failure to stand up for Palin, then or now, tells you everything you need to know about McCain. Of course, the way he dumped his first wife after her car accident to go after the woman who would give us Meghan McCain should have sufficed.
The establishment GOP will tell us who they fear. It’s not Obama. It’s Palin and the other surviving Reagan Republicans.
OT: Y’know, we like to give Mitch McConnell a hard time for being a squishy backbone-deprived RINO, but this speech of his at the AEI is pretty darned good.
Talks about the endless assaults on the 1st Amendment – the Kimberlin thing even gets a mention (without naming names), fwiw.
I like Mitch and don’t say bad things about him here or elsewhere. He’s old school and I like that in a senator.
(Madonna) feels excluded by the laddish atmosphere of Guy’s hunting parties… and has announced – after several months of refusing to shoot – that she won’t be taking part in any more shoots because she fears being ‘haunted’ by the souls of the birds she has killed.
How retarded must one be to get psyched out by a fucking bird?
“How retarded must one be to get psyched out by a fucking bird?”
– She doesn’t give a flying fuck about birds or anything else beyound her own self-interests. Once Hollywood discovered phoney Lefturd politics was a direct path to big paydays from the feckless confused youth it all became a done deal.
– Meanwhile the Unicorn King in chief continues to proclaims that he’s “not worried about the middle class, they’re doing
fine .”
I’m calling bullshit. Video or it didn’t happen.
Ditto what Darlene said in the second comment.
I don’t think Sarah is going to seek elective office again. I think she’s going to continue to do what she does now, and when (not if) Mitt is elected he’s going to find one of his hardest critics will be her, and people who voted for him WILL listen to her.
Also, it really must be said, that is one extraordinarily fine looking woman.
A little suntan agrees with her. Damn.
Robert Mangabeira Unger, a former Harvard professor of Dear Leader, abandons Obama from the Left.
Watching her and knowing we are facing an election with Mitt – makes me feel sick.
incidentally, I just spent the last week in a training class full of engineers from various industries. One engineer had crashed the class in order to beg everyone for a job. The unemployment situation for engineers is so awful, the whole week this guy went from one person to the next begging us for work. None of us could help him since we’re all so flipping lucky to have jobs ourselves, and all of our companies are on permanent hiring freezes after layoffs.
The desperation out there is reaching critical mass. My backup employment plan is escorting. Seriously.
Unger sounds like a momo
missfixit
Los Angeles Superior Courts on Friday handed out layoff notices. They are cutting 56 courtrooms, getting rid of all court reporters for civil trials (if you want one, you hire directly).
Word is if you have a civil suit in El Lay, it will take at least 5 years to get to trial.
Criminal courts are under statutory limits unless defendants waive time.
Want to see how the country goes if it keeps Obama? Look at California. Hell, even if Mitt is re-elected, if Cali keeps going down the tubes, we’ll be pulling the rest of the country with us. We are 10% of the national economy.
Top to bottom we are Democrat…and far left Democrat at that … controlled.
they’re also cutting the momos what sit at the windows you have to wait in line for to pay your ticket, and ticket money is a huge huge part of how our pitiful third world city keeps its head above water
“My backup employment plan is escorting. Seriously.”
– My ex-father in law, a simple down to earth guy, owned a bar. The worse things got, the better he did. Sonetimes the wisdom of lifes basic lessons reside in unexpexted places.
Those were the ages they turned during the years in which they took office. They were elected and took office at ages 69 and 64, respectively.
The last president we had that had a birthday between getting elected and taking office, was Nixon.
No help here on a video, Pablo. I said up above I read it in a Brit papaer years ago. True or not? They lie as much as our papers. I’ve never seen anyone, Ms. Palin included, shoot and field dress a deer or any other large critter. In fact, I have seen Ms. Palin shoot and she can’t hit the broad side of a barn.
Me, I shoot the paper bad guys and call it good.
that madonna does a lot with her day is all I know
My grandparents owned a combination baron one side, cafe on the other, BBH. They also made a killing in bad times.
here’s the movie she directed last year she got that Oscar Isaac guy what was in Drive to be in it and also up-and-comer Andrea Riseborough whose gonna be in a Tom Cruise sci-fi thinger plus a horror movie with up-and-comer Alexander Skarsgard, a Jason Bateman movie, and a movie with perpetual up-and-comer James McAvoy
In fact, I have seen Ms. Palin shoot and she can’t hit the broad side of a barn.
I hope you’re not referring to the episode of her reality show when the sight on her rifle was subsequently revealed to be off.
“that madonna does a lot with her day is all I know”
– I don’y fault her for her industry and ambition feets. Her stated views and motives are pure opportunistic bullshit.
it looked for awhile that lunch trucks were gonna be a make-a-killing-in-bad-times thing but LA is regulating the holy shit out of them
I like her Mr. Hunter mostly just cause of we can’t be too picky about our icons anymore, we Americans
and I think she represents us rather well
plucky, industrious, kinetic
We can work with that.
Lunch trucks are gay.
i like lunch trucks cause of we can walk to a place where they congregate
but a lot of ours aren’t as clever as the chicago ones
the chicago ones have to be more clever cause of they’re not allowed to actually prepare food in the truck
now that is fucking gay
So far my courthouse is only losing one courtroom … the juvenile cases are being moved elsewheres.
But I’m a county employee in the DA office, so we’re unaffected so far, save for shuffling employees to follow the courtroom.
ps I am NOT in Los Angeles county
– Madonna started at 18 selling her ass to Penthouse and Larry Flint as a skanky third rate pin-up girl, and she’s been at it ever since.
– No one can argue her work ethic, or her business sense. Lately she’s obviously hearing Gaga footsteps.
Larry is a pig on wheels
These are the only lunch trucks that aren’t gay. The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is especially gay.
Darleen – my comment wasn’t clear. I meant that when I watch Palin I feel that sick sort of “what could have been” feeling, while simultaneously feeling awe and dismay that we are looking to Romney to change anything.
Cali is one of the scariest places in the US for sure. I live in the South. I was commenting about the engineering unemployment here because I think it gives a good snapshot of how insanely desperate the situation has become in the private sector.
“Larry is a pig on wheels”
– Yet another sneaky feets illiteration.
those look tasty Mr. Froman… lunch trucks can be very evocative we have the old school ones and the new school ones and they don’t compete with each other, oddly
– There’s a noticable trend, here in San Diego at least, for lunch trucks to go “upscale”, offering much more haute forte’ cusine.
– I suspect its a direct result from the fall-off of restaurant attendence and a way to avoid high overhead costs associated with a fixed sitdown establishment. The next thing in the tourist industry I suppose, Chateu briand on a stick.
The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck – now there’s something you don’t see everywhere.
I think it gives a good snapshot of how insanely desperate the situation has become in the private sector.
but but but the private sector is doing FINE!
are you, like, a raaaaacist or something?
/moonbat impression
There’s a noticable trend, here in San Diego at least, for lunch trucks to go “upscale”, offering much more haute forte’ cusine.
Hence their gayness, in my opinion. I’d never knock the ones that basically function like cafeterias for people who work in industrial parks and the like, but I just can’t get over the ones that are simultaneously pretentious and trying to dodge the rent that big boy restaurateurs have to deal with.
My ex-father in law, a simple down to earth guy, owned a bar. The worse things got, the better he did. Sonetimes the wisdom of lifes basic lessons reside in unexpexted places.
Yeah, the more I contemplate another (worse) economic collapse (Greece), the more I come down to the essential industries: home brewed alcohol and sex. Screw all that fancy bridge-building and car manufacturing – that shit’s only for the government lords and ladies.
:/
And to think that instead of this, we got Joe Biden.
Sheesh.
Time to go mix another drink.
that reminds me Darleen – I have to routinely deal with california government engineers — they are dumber than a bag of hammers. If you tell them to go to the hardware store and get some bolts they can’t figure that out. They need 10 pages of instructions, and then we have to buy it for them anyway and ship it to them cuz they are so f-ing clueless.
of course, Army Corps of engineers is the same way. The only thing the government manufactures is an army of idiots.
– To paraphrase Vince Lombardi – “deprivation makes common sense thinkers of us all.”
– The good news is the tougher things get the more dangerous things get for Leftist professors and collectivists spouting assinine theories.
Sarah Palin is someone who grows on you. She has her faults but you know, she is unafraid to slay some sacred cows and you know where she stands. I probably was too harsh on her.
She’s a pol (Orrin Hatch?) but one of the better ones, on any side.
Roddy
IMHO the slings and arrows (and bags of flaming poo) have only seem to have made her stronger/more resolved.
She could have languished as VP – McCain would have kept her on the 3rd tier diplomatic service doing ribbon cutting and tea ceremonies in tiny, barely pronounceable countries. And he would have done it to cut any chance she would have at running for Prez herself later.
Or she could have allowed herself to be co-opted by the GOP machine or Liberal media — certainly from Frum to Brooksy to Maggy McCain -there’s cash and recognition in going RINO.
But even if you disagree with her, you can’t deny her authenticity. WYSIWYG

” (Madonna) feels excluded by the laddish atmosphere of Guy’s hunting parties… and has announced – after several months of refusing to shoot – that she won’t be taking part in any more shoots because she fears being ‘haunted’ by the souls of the birds she has killed.”
Sounds like a euphemism for gas to me.
All the lunch trucks in our area are the already made, stale vending machine crap on a truck variety. Total suckage. On the other hand, there are a couple of guerilla mini-vans that hit construction sites quickly where you can buy a fucking awesome Mexican meal in a to go box for $5 American.
I will second Miss Fixits appraisal of the CoE, should change the name to the Corps of Over-Engineers.
– The numb-nut doesn’t roll far from the privit hedge.
– Plugs is really a man of the slackers.
The yellow caricature has integrity issues, brings to mind that old saying about lying liars that lie. This is at least the second thread that the yellow caricature has broken its word regarding threads concerning conservative women. I am unsurprised.
Comparing Ms. Palin and Madonna is not like comparing the yellow caricature and a rutabaga since only the latter is an accurate observation.
Thanks for posting the link JG.
I find both Madonna and Ms. Palin to be interesting and accomplished women, each in their divergent fields of endeavor. Both poor white girls from nowherelandia who done good.
They are both icons. There is room for more than one.
