Palin quits, once again, leaving her lemmings hanging

Eh. Fickle fucks, one and all.
The Quitter Twit bags out on adoring(?) fans in Noblesville, Indiana who waited 3+ hours in the rain for her to sign their book.

Monsterhairpiece Theater Part II-Those OUTRAGEOUSLY UNFAIR questions from the media

Hmmmmm. Let's take a look back at how just how unreasonable and unpalatable Couric's question was, shall we? Let us now observe that "cock to her head"...let us listen for that "heavy dose of condescension":

Poor Sarah. Poor, poor Sarah.

Geoffrey Dunn unveils Palin's FIRST 10 lies from her ghostwriter's book

For those poor bastards folks lucky(?!) enough to have received some excerpts from Sarah Palin's Going Rogue, here's a pat on the back and a virtual home brew for having the stomach to read, dissect the lies, and share with the rest of us. You must need it, and more. NO ONE is masochistic enough to be reading this swill for shits and giggles. Unless, of course, you are a Palin lemming already nocturnally emitting at mere the thought of TOMORROW.

Here are the first ten lies from Palin's memoirs:

1.The Cover Byline: Palin didn't write the book by herself. Most books with known ghostwriters list their co-author's name on the cover. In this case it was Lynn Vincent (a well-known homophobe). Going Rogue does not.

2.The Subtitle: An American Life. Aside from her infancy, Palin has really spent very little time outside of Alaska, and according to John McCain's campaign advisors, was shockingly unfamiliar with American geography and American history. "Alaska," as John McPhee noted in his resplendent Coming Into the Country, "is a foreign country...Its nature is its own."

3.Going Rogue features Palin's obsession with Katie Couric and characterizes the CBS anchor as "badgering." Palin refused to prep for the Couric interview because she was more concerned about her popularity in Alaska than about what was best for the campaign. Was it really badgering to ask what books or periodicals Palin read? Palin further claims that Couric suffered from low self-esteem. In fact, according to those close to Palin, it's the former governor who suffers from low self-esteem and frequently projects that onto other women.


4.Palin asserts that there was a "jaded aura" around McCain's political advisors once she entered the campaign. In fact, McCain's aides bent over backwards to protect Palin and to try to get her up to speed on international affairs. In addition to not knowing whether or not Africa was a continent, according to sources in the McCain campaign, Palin also didn't understand the difference between England and Great Britain. And much, much more.


5.Palin contends to have been saddled with legal bills of more than $500,000 resulting from what she calls "frivolous" ethics complaints filed against her. The lion's share of those bills resulted from the ethics complaint she filed against herself in a legal maneuver to sidestep the Troopergate charges being brought against her by the bipartisan Alaska Legislative Council.


6.Palin rather astonishingly claims that she was saddled with $50,000 in bills for the legal fees associated with her vice-presidential vetting. A) She was not vetted; B) A McCain campaign advisor says this is "categorically untrue."


7.Palin states that she found out only "minutes" before John McCain's concession speech that she would not be allowed to make remarks of her own introducing McCain. In fact, she had been told at least three times that she would not be allowed to give the speech and kept lying about it in the hopes of creating some last-minute chaos that would allow her to assume the dais.


8.Palin asserts that her effort to award a license for a natural gas transmission line was turning a "pipe dream" into a pipeline. Although she claimed otherwise in her speech at the GOP convention, there is no pipeline. It remains a pipe dream.


9.Palin implies that the McCain campaign intentionally bungled the release of information regarding her daughter Bristol's pregnancy and refused to let her rewrite it. In fact, the McCain campaign allowed her to rework the draft, but the original version went out accidentally. Palin reportedly accepted the recalcitrant staff member's apology for the mistake, then when she left, ordered her immediately dismissed of her duties.


10.Palin complains that McCain's senior advisors, most notably Steve Schmidt, forced her to "stick with the script" they provided her. In fact, Schmidt & Co. were encumbered with the task of keeping Palin from lying and misleading people throughout the campaign, from her well-documented lies about the "Bridge to Nowhere" to her duplicities about her husband Todd's assocation with the Alaska Independence Party. Palin's lying to those in the McCain campaign was so troubling to them that they cringed every time she went "off script."

And that's just for starters.

Trick-or-Treating for your local food bank!

The fab Celtic Diva of Diva's Blue Oasis has come up with a wonderful idea for incorporating Halloween fun and the spirit of giving. While your kiddo's are going door to door for those Trick-or-Treat goodies, help nurture their compassion and humanity by giving them the experience of aiding in their community. Here's Linda's idea:

I was looking for a unique way to celebrate our first holiday season in our home. I started to think about those around the State who aren't feeling particularly festive.

We know that the folks in Rural Alaska are facing a very difficult winter...perhaps more difficult than last year when the Food Bank had to make multiple airlifts. We also know that the Homeless population in Anchorage is growing and combined with the economic downturn, use of the Food Bank went up 30% by Jan 2009. There is no reason to think that will not increase this year.

So, why wait until Thanksgiving to start donating food?

I wasn't able to organize a big food drive. So, I came up with an idea where I could make a little bit of a difference with the help of my neighbors. I figure that folks could also easily do the same in their own neighborhoods without a lot of planning or effort.

1) Several days ahead, paper the neighborhood with flyers letting folks know to bring a can/box of food to your house in exchange for candy (and possibly a piece of cake and cider, if you are so inclined!) Include a list of items from the Food Bank's website on the flyer. Make sure for your own peace-of-mind that they are all canned, boxed or bagged items (non-perishable) since you can't deliver them until Monday.

2) Make a sign to put up in your yard letting folks know that you are collecting items for the Food Bank.

3) Make sure you have a clean garbage can, box or other container to hold the items.

4) Be creative and have fun! (I'm dressing like a witch with a cauldron, bonfire, the works.)

5) Drop off the food at the Food Bank of Alaska on Monday!

Let me know how you guys do if you decide to participate!

(For those of you who really, really want to see me in a witch costume, I'll post pictures the day after :-))

GOING ROUGE...Palin pockets 1.25 million, to start.

“I want to just take this money and quit being governor.” ~Sarah Palin

Click for full story:
Sarah Palin reported in financial disclosures out this morning that she received $1.25 million from publisher HarperCollins as "retainer for book."

The report doesn't give a date for when Palin received the money. But the disclosures cover money that Palin received during her final seven months as governor, from Jan. 1 to July 26.

No other details are offered on the book deal, but a retainer would just be an upfront piece of her money.
