Palin tweets turn philosophic.

Wrapped up Anch Gov's Picnic, awesome. Now road trip to Fairbanks for farewell speech/changing of the guard. Camper full of kids & coffee...
from TwitterBerry

Calling the Governor's picnic awesome is definitely a stretch. Sad, pathetic, maudlin, are probably more fitting adjectives. And by the way coffee, kids, and a cramped camper sounds like a dangerous combination.

W/kids in camper;on World's Best Rd Trip!To soar by Mt.McKinley&rushing rivers,we remember all of AK is BIG/WILD/GOOD LIFE;feel freedom here

Clearly Sarah is enjoying the wind in her hair as she tosses off the fetters of government and embraces the freedom that she anticipates awaits in the life before her. For my part I am enjoying the idea of freedom from Sarah Palin in the state of Alaska. Now I just have to get some wind in my hair and I am all set.

Apparently Sarah Palin's idea of heaven is stuffed full of county western stars and seven hour journeys in a cramped camper along Alaska highways.

You know that sounds like a certain place connected to the afterlife to me as well, only my example is somewhat more sweltering and filled with tiny pitchfork wielding demons.

(By the way my Governor Palin picnic video is almost ready to post. It is a good one so stay tuned.)

Update: Okay it is going to take longer than I anticipated for my video to be ready, so I will post it in the morning. I promised Shannyn I would stop by for a celebratory drink along with her and AKM so I am headed out in a few minutes. I suggest that all of you have yourself an adult beverage to celebrate this wonderful day of independence as well. Tomorrow our great national nightmare comes to an end.

  1. Are there seatbelts in the camper for those precious kids of hers? Are Trig and Tripp in approved car seats? Or is everyone just bouncing around in the back?

    I think what is most annoying about her "tweets" is that she makes such a studied attempt to sound like a typical Mom with her kids, working and driving, doing what the rest of us do...the truth is, she is about to become a multi-millionaire and she does not live like the rest of us. So she can drop the corny act.

    Note that even this "heaven" playlist includes the inescapable Our Troops shoutout to the "USO artists"

    re: the "inescapable Our Troops shoutout":

    Yes, isn't that incredibly annoying? Such a heavy-handed way to curry favor with the masses. Reminds me of being in high school again and being prodded by the head cheerleader to show "school spirit!"

    Nothing wrong with supporting the men and women who make tremendous sacrifices for our freedoms, but Palin's continual harping on that issue--combined with simple-minded "Grtchn Wilson" and "Big & Rich" country music--reveals yet again her lack of intellectual depth.

  8. "Tommorow out great national nightmare comes to an end."

    Gryphen, while I am most decidedly happy for you and your fellow Alaskans to get out from under the hoof of this political charlatan, I still have this queasy feeling in my gut that a "national nightmare" might just be beginning. Palin is down at the present moment but she most assuredly is not out. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

  9. I've been contemplating the stupidity of Palin's misuse of Twitter (my opinion, anyway) in sending out 3, 4 messages at a time, sometimes as many as 7 or 8 serial tweets over an hour's time -- and why she doesn't just give it up and START A BLOG!

    Well, I wonder no more.

    Someone over at HuffPo opened my eyes as to why Palin is sticking with Twitter.

    It's free.

  10. Did you see this statement from Stapletongue? "I cannot express enough there is no plan after July 26. There is absolutely no plan," she told The Associated Press. "The decision (to quit) was made in the vacuum of what was best for Alaska, and now I'm accepting all the options, but there is nothing planned."

    Just what we want in a leader--someone who makes snap decisions in a vacuum with no idea of where she's going in the future. (Not that I believe a word of it!)

    But wait, there's more. Not only do you get Sarah's favorite IPOD hits about money, I'm throwing in some more golden oldies, such as

    Liar by the Rollins Band

    Or how about,

    Little Liar from Joan Jett

    And who can forget,

    Lies by the Thompson Twins ?

    Of course no IPOD collection would be complete without a little Screamin' Jay Hawkins

    I Hear Voices

    How about another 80's flashback from Prince ?

    Let's Go Crazy

    Or how about that other song by Heart that the RNC should have used ?

    You know the one..... Crazy On You ?

    There's the very forgetable Crazy House Twist a very rare song-poem by Gene Marshall.

    How about something straight from the ghetto by Rehab ?

    There's the Gnarls Barkley version of Crazy, or if you're bored with that, how about a Nelly Furtado and Gnarls Mash Up of Crazy ?

    Of course, no collection would be complete without a version from Mary Lever, Patsy Cline, Jesus even Cat Stevens did a version, but it's pretty lame if you ask me.

    Coming up, songs about Boots and Walking.....

  16. Much obliged for setting aside an ideal opportunity to examine this, I feel firmly about it and love adapting more on this point. On the off chance that conceivable, as you pick up mastery, would you mind overhauling your website with more data? It is greatly useful for me. Attorneys In Lakeland Fl
