Caribou Barbie

If you ask anyone in the middle east what the Israeli Palestinian conflict is about, they will not tell you religion.  This is a conflict, as all other middle east conflicts have been since the dawn of time, about land and resources first and foremost.  Even the Crusades boiled down to a simple land war in Asia fought for economic superiority.  This could all change if Sarah Palin ever gets to be in charge. That’s right folks.  According to Sarah Palin the Army in Iraq is on a mission from God.  I bet that really tickles Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, and Carl Rove.  Of ... Read Full Story

Some days Maureen Dowd just cracks me up with her wit and skill as a wordsmith. Her latest column in the New York Times which looks at the tone deafness - read stupidity - of the McCain/ Palin ticket in terms of botching the effort to depict Barack Obama as the elitist instead of themselves. Between Cindy McCain's appearance in a $300,000 out fit and jewels at the GOP Convention and "Caribou Barbie" Palin's receipt of $150,000 in clothes - not to mention her $32,800 for hair styling and makeup during the first two weeks of October - the anti-Obama effort falls more than ...

The caption to this post is from Christopher Hitchens ' column over at Slate today. The title to his article, however is only the beginning of the bitch slapping he gives the Republican Party and John McCain for the lunacy of nominating Sarah "Caribou Barbie" Palin for the VP slot on the GOP ticket. I have bashed Palin plenty not because I am anti-woman or anti- religion , but because she's an idiot and crazy religious fanatic who - as is typical of such people - doesn't have the ability to recognize her own gigantic limitations. Oh, and did I mention that she's a ... Read Full Story

Here's another conversation that I had earlier with my friend. Gwen: and now what? lol Gwen: put her on some interviews and she'll go back to not knowing how to answer "what magazines do you read?" Anthony Taurus: i think the media may rehash old questions that she'll be able to answer down the line Not, that I like to toot my own horn, "doggone it" but I think you'll find that we both were right. Check out this video: First of all, the McCain campaign's strategy is so simple and pitiful that it frightens me to think that this man might be the ... Read Full Story

Sorry folks, but I'm afraid that I just had to jump on the political bandwagon something I usually care not to do, but like I said, I cannot resist. Resistance really is futile. While the Federal election here in Canada is pretty dull, the situation south of our border (and north and west) is downright titillating by comparison! I'm referring specifically to John McCain's choice of running mate, Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska. I'm not going to belabour the point but after watching part of the real interview between Katie Couric and then SNL brought back the brilliant Tina Fey to reprise her ... Read Full Story
