I can’t seem to fess up to the facts… My spin is worthless… I can’t retract… I can’t sleep… Palin’s on fire… Don’t trust me… I’m a real jive liar!

My cousin Elaine lives in Anchorage. This is an excerpt from the letter she wrote to me: Dear Cousin Nikos, As an Alaskan, I’m writing to give you some information on Sarah Palin, Senator McCain's choice for VP. As an Alaska voter, I know more than most Americans about her and, frankly, I along with countless others up here are happy as a bear at the beginning of spawning season. We're ecstatic that he picked her! We’re hearing that a lot of people in the media think she’s a “redneck” because she hunts and fishes and runs three miles a...

Has anyone seen Joe Biden? He seems to have vanished after the convention?

You cant say Conservatives dont have a sense of humor or dont have the ability to laugh at themselves. What makes this satire ad so funny is that most Liberals would believe it's real.

the people are having a lot of fun making up nicknames for Sarah the Saracuda and now its the Palinator /////////////// really though, this girl is something else. in the high school championship game, she captained the team, was the point guard, scored the winning points at the free throw line.... with a fractured ankle. now that's something to reckon with.... so FRiends, post your favorite Sarah nicknames Saracuda, the Palinator.....and

Before the crying, lump of peroxide that begged "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" and the Day-Glo, gay Valhalla of Planet Unicorn, "Rick rolling" was the internet viral that kept on giving. Before you could say "Bye bye LOLCATS" people were altered to faked news stories (from "Nasa To Burn Sponsor Logos Into The Surface Of Mars" to "See Paris Making Out With Busta Rhymes!") whose links would be the promo video of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up...

Folks--I was trying to put into words the chemistry I see between John McCain and Sarah Palin when they are together. And it just came to me. Sarah is John's wingman. She flies next to him and protects him. He fights for her, and she fights for him. She does what is necessary for him to successfully complete his mission. As a former Naval Aviator, McCain knows the importance of an excellent wingman. As a novice pilot, Palin has shown that she is a natural.

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM: (1) "Press 1 for English" is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can. (2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO im ports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' (3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it. (4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many...

We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." > >"No problem, just let me in," says the senator. > >"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up.

Help me! Help me!" Police officers called to a South Trenton home Wednesday morning clearly heard what they thought was a female voice calling out for assistance. Nobody answered the front door, and with seconds ticking away, and a dog barking inside the house, a sergeant ordered officers to kick in the door of the Centre Street home at about 9:50 a.m. With their guns drawn, officers searched room-by-room and found no humans in distress, but they continued to hear the pleas for help. In a first floor bedroom, they figured out the mystery: a caged bird, a cockatoo, that...

Was VP pick Sarah Palin's speech effective in introducing herself and boosting John McCain's campaign? * 474659 responses Yes. Her speech proves she is ready for an all-out fight. No. She spent too much time trying to mock Obama. It remains to be seen what she can do on the campaign trail without a teleprompter and speech writer.

Check this out... it's really funny.

For all you Seinfeld viewers, recall the episode where Kramer has this "fantasy" job. He never got hired but shows up with his briefcase until the day the "manager" calls him into his office. He tells Kramer he must fire him and it's a bit awkward because Kramer never really worked there. This reminds me of a Community Organizer, a job about nothing. How would someone get fired from being a Community Organizer? Are their quota's for how many people you "organize" or something? What if you aren't doing a good job organizing, is there special organizing training, trade schools?...

Unlike other hockey moms, Sarah Palin does not wear lipstick; it is blood (just like pitbulls). Sarah Palin is not a Bible thumper; she punches her fist through it. Deja Vu is what happens when Sarah Palin changes the Matrix. Sarah Palin is Ayn Rand's and Charlton Heston's love child. FDR is often misquoted; what he actually said was, "There is nothing to fear but Sarah Palin herself." Sarah Palin can make Republicans excited about John McCain. Sarah Palin can turn gay men straight just by smiling. Unlike Barack Obama, Sarah Palin is her own teleprompter. Tina Fey hired six...

I have been tirelessly searching for all the AP and Washington Post "FACT-CHECKS" and updates on the word by word parsed statements at the DNC convention. I keep getting "No Results" from search engines, oddly not only for inquiries regarding fact checks at the DNC convention but also under the search for "Obama Accomplishments".

Okay, after seriously considering not voting anymore, I'm back on board. First of all, is there already a Sarah Palin rule akin to the Ann Coulter rule: must show pic. Also if anyone from Alaska is reading this, I'm from Illinois so if you have any of those Sarah Palin for Governor signs or bumper stickers left, I'd really appreciate you sending them my way. You know, in case this whole veep thing doesn't work out...

Okay, folks. After decades of pretense the mask has finally come off. You've seen the MSM issue not only the usual distortions but even blatant lies in their effort to sink Sarah Palin. They have shown themselves to be even lower than lawyers, used-car salesmen, prostitutes and congresscritters. Isn't it a shame how 99% of journalists give the whole profession a bad name?

A: Skeet....

I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin - whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin - as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn't worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.How's that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your "devoted husband John Edwards" routine?I trust even now Maureen Dowd is working on a hilarious new column mocking proposed names for the Governor's first grandchild. Perhaps Richard Cohen can just...

Concerns Raised about Palin and PMS September 3, 2008 As McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for vice president continues to be engulfed in controversy, new questions have been raised about her fitness for office. “The fact that Sarah Palin has just given birth, shows that she is still menstruating,” explained noted feminist author Nola Wright. “Because of that, once of month she will suffer cramping, mood swings, and adopt a temperament that may be unsuitable for public office.” “There’s indeed a reason for concern, “ said Dr. Karen Karlson of Seattle, Washington. “’That Time of the Month’ is a difficult...

I personally dug up this "Treasure" and thought about what it meant to someone who lost it. I imagine that the dime was an emergency fund because it was solidly stuck to this gas cap. I really wanted to share it with the world because I think its a great visual aid. Feel free to distribute this image widely. I believe that the cap is from a gas can. I have since removed the dime from the cap but am in the process of trying to clean it up. I know that in the 20's one dime was about an...
