Sarah Palin To Get Good And Tight In Center City Before The Debate

My fellow Philadelphians, in case you haven't already heard, Sarah Palin is going to be knockin' back a few shots with hand-picked supporters from 7-ish until 8-ish at Irish Pub at 20th and Walnut tonight. So if you've got your "I'm with stupid -->" t-shirt on today and you want a photo op, tonight's your chance!

Sarah Palin On Alaska's Foreign Neighbors

So here's the actual version of the video I posted earlier. What just struck me about this that hadn't struck me before was this line from Gov. Palin: "It's funny that a comment like that was kind of made to...um, char-...I don't know, you know. Reporters. Mocked, yeah. I guess that's the word, yeah." It's not the fact that she got hamstrung for a moment there - it happens to all of us - it's the, "You know. Reporters!" bit. It's odd on two levels. Last I checked, one, Katie Couric *is* a reporter (though some people may differ with me on that), and two, Sarah Palin majored in journalism. Reporters, indeed!

I Personally Believe...

This clip probably best sums up my feelings on the Sarah Palin interview with Katie Couric.



More Palin-tastic fun later!

Lunchtime Poll

Not really. But it is a clip from Heathers.



Sorry for the lack of posts this week. School has been busy, and besides, so many ridiculous things have happened this week, I don't even know where to begin. But I know it will involve video of Sarah Palin being a complete idiot, so check back for that!

Dept. of Mindnumbing Irony and General What-the-Fuckery

Had I had coffee in my mouth when I read this tidbit from CNN's Political Ticker, I would have spat it all over my computer. It's good I didn't, so that I could bring you this post. Prominent Hillary Clinton supporter Lady (yes, darling, she's nobility) Lynn Forester de Rothschild (yes, darling, those de Rothschilds), is set to endorse John McCain tomorrow. But she's not your run-of-the-mill PUMA, as her noble title and wealth suggest. Why is she supporting McCain, you ask?

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Wow. Just...wow. The mind boggles, frankly. All I can think of is those posters from the '80s of rich people leaning on Rolls-Royces with the line "Poverty Sucks" above. In that spirit, I give you the following.

Ahhh. I feel better now.

LOL Of The Week

A much-needed election-related laugh.

SPERM DONOR FAIL

When I saw this on the subway platform the other day, I wondered, Is he covering his face like that because he's embarrassed that he donated sperm and now all of Philadelphia knows? Or did he jizz in his eye?

Good Morning: Debbie Gibson, "Electric Youth"

This video is epic. It has a minute-long intro about how, well, ELECTRIC the YOUTH are. Enjoy!
