Thanks for the ping! Excellent article.
People VOLUNTEER and line up to be on American Idol.
They INVITE “celebrities” to be on DWTS.
It is common knowledge many are poor dancers such as octogenarian Buzz Aldrin, or that Sports Center guy who has now made a career on the show because he was their worst dancer ever.
There is no comparison, furthermore Bristol is improving as adancer and got “9’s” on one dance from all three professional judges.
Precisely! Well stated, Williams.
Thank you very much!!
In a test on Math and Science, American school kids did almost the absolute worst; yet when asked to rank how they thought they did - they all seemed to think they did a much better job than they actually did. Americans: #49 out of 50 in actual results, but #1 in self esteem. Ouch! Palin hit the nail on the head with this one...
“But in the wilder world, these kinds of instances of hard-truth-telling are increasingly rare. Instead of eventually confronting the limits of their inflated egos when it comes to paying the rent and putting food on the table, Americans are increasingly being told not to worry about it. Someone else will provide for them. I think a large part of the appeal of American Idol is the spectacle of Simon Cowell pouring cold water over the heads of these young people. Cowell can be a little harsh at times, but he upholds the highest standards, and something in us recognizes and responds to that.”
Very good read.
American Idol is going into the gutter this year, you can probably bank it.
self-esteem = selfish steam
Glad to hear it Sarah. You've got wonderful values as a person. You are courageous, patient, and positive. Now go learn something about history, military strategy, and economics before running for President. Reagan spent years traveling the country with a GE VP learning how manufacturing works in the real world. He studied de Toqueville, Montesquieu, and the writings of the Founders. I suggest you do something similar. I cringe every time you open your mouth with yet another empty sound bite. You might make a fine President someday. You are not ready yet.

YES! Sarah Palin can sure write brilliantly. Her degree in journalism is shining through. If she can articulate her visions and solutions for America, only half as well as she write, she's going to sweep to the nomination and the presidency.
I think we're now into Week #3 of "STOP SARAH" (Alinksy style) and now I see the lamestream is going after daughter Willow, --- wild child and rumored pregnancy.
May God bless and protect Sarah Palin and her family. There is never any let-up from the lamestream.
I can barely wait until my book arrives!
Sans Simon Cowell, well DUH.
:)
The Tortoise and the Hare ~
a great lesson, it would seem.
One has humble confidence,
the other, selfish steam.
They just can’t resist one Palin thread. Can they?
And Bristol told Mark that she drove down from Alaska to Cali in her truck to get there. She was 19 and made up her mind to do it. Sarah couldn’t have stopped her anyway.
Nope, not a one.
Pit - tee - full.
SarahPalinUSA The publishing world is LEAKING out-of-context excerpts of my book w/out my permission? Isn't that illegal?MT @C4Palin http://bit.ly/cD6DOQ
Thank you very much for the information!
You betcha it’s illegal and I found the original source last night. I’ll think I’ll let her know “via channels.”
Ping to Al B.’s post.
It’ll all make sense to you, soon.
ROFL! Using your best "Jed Clampett" impersonation I take it.
Well Done!
I can almost hear 'ol Jed sayin'
Pit - tee - full. Jes Pit - tee - full.
And he'd be right too
LOL
LOL. Yep, that’s the voice I intended!
