Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Jimmy Kimmell notices something peculiar about Sister Sarah's speech pattern.
It looks like Kimmell does not quite buy the official DWTS explanation for the boos.
And he is right, she DOES say everything in threes.
At 1:42 in the clip, Tom crosses in front of the judges on his way to Sarah. It is exactly at that point that the boos begin. They appear to come from the people on Sarah's side of the room; the people behind the judges are clapping and smiling, not booing.
So this clip that is supposed to "prove" the booing was for the judges actually reinforces that the boos were directed at Sarah!
"The important thing to remember is: Bristol Palin is there, and she not afraid, to face the public or the Main Stream Media. Not to mention, they opened the show, by reporting, Dancing With Stars had the 'TOP RATED PROGRAM' for that past Monday. We all know why? BRISTOL PALIN. I never watched Dancing With Stars, until Bristol Palin, appeared on the show."
The fact that DWTS tried to cover up the booing and gain the good graces of Sarah means that we'll be watching Bristol for a few more weeks. Bristol was not hired because she has a sparkling personality. Bristol is not an especially good dancer. But, she is good for ratings. And with Bristol comes Sarah, whether Sarah is in the audience or not.
DWTS is cashing in on Sarah's ability to attract publicity. In the lead up to the next show, will Sarah be in the audience or not? Will the audience boo or not? The other dancers actually have a personal story to tell. Now that Bristol has been to Alaska, she hasn't got much of a story line. And that abstinence thing is going get boring really fast.
Maybe DWTS could hire a stalker kid to hang around hoping to get a look at Bristol. (She has her own face book page, so you never know who will be looking at you. Especially for a family so worried about their security). When the stalker kid (hired by DWTS) is arrested, I see headlines for the next week!
Has Dancing with the Stars explained how Bristol is a star? The show is not called Dancing with the Activists. Dancing with the X-gov Daughters? Dancing with the Single Teen Mothers?
Isn't the show about stars?

Anon Troll @ 7:32, So you're saying that Bristol is the draw to DWTS and not JENNIFER GREY FROM DIRTY DANCING FAME? Riiiiight. What are you smoking? I have never watched DWTS, but I would not miss watching Jennifer dance anywhere. What an amazing dancer she is, especially considering the cancer surgery she had recently. Absolutely brilliant. And Bristol? Eh, mediocre at best, but then she isn't a dancer. I give her credit for trying; although her first outfit was more along the lines of a hooker and certainly not modest at all. She received quite a few pity points from the judges Monday night. To think that Bristol danced well enough to be within two points of Jennifer is ludicrous. In other words WTF????
Anon 7:32 "Dancing With Stars had the 'TOP RATED PROGRAM' for that past Monday"
Of course it was the top rated program. It was the SEASON PREMIER. DWTS has always had strong season premiers, since the show first aired. Trust me, most people are not into the Palins.
It's from the School of Public Speaking, Class 101. It's how she covers being an idiot.
Speaking in Threes
In the speaking world, speaking in threes is so deceptively simple, yet magically powerful. It has the power to paint a lavish scenery in an instant. It has the ability to churn your stomach with gut-wrenching emotion. It has the creative wherewithal to channel people on a virtual journey. Yet less than five percent of the speakers I've seen regularly use this enchanting device.
In communicating, speaking in threes creates credence to your message. It increases impact to your talk. It adds flavor to you presentation. It supplies syncopation to your speech. And that's a very good thing.
Here are three keys benefits from speaking in threes...
1) You become more engaging. In one of my openings, when touching on childhood dreams I suggested, "Maybe you wanted to become a superhero fighting against the forces of darkness. Perhaps you wanted to cruise the heavens in the space shuttle. Or maybe you wanted the house with the white picket fence and the two-and-a-half kids."
With a broad three-layered stroke the audience is taken back to their youth. They begin to reflect on the dreams they had while growing up. They are also brought back to their childhood surroundings.
But what's also important to note is:
Everyone is now in concert. We have arrived on common ground and are ready to move forward. Or backward. Or sideways. That's the power of speaking in threes.
2) You create a rhythmic cadence. There's actually a pulse in the background when you talk. Even in your daily conversations. Listen closely anytime someone is speaking and you'll sense his or her speaking pulse. The most compelling conversationalists are able to change their pulse in a heartbeat making their message sound more appealing.
Speaking in threes adds a pleasant rhythm to your talk. Say these out loud, "Pain, passion and pleasure. Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. Medical, dental and vision." These all have a quick, punchy, staccato pulse, which makes them easier for your listeners to picture, recall and repeat.
They incorporate the Da, da-Da, da-Da pattern. Wine, women and song. Health, happiness and hugs. Fame, fortune and girls. People may not remember the bulk of your message, but they usually remember the Da, da-Da, da-Da pattern when you've spoken in threes.
3) You will appear as an authority figure. People will perceive you as an expert in your field. Someone who knows what they're talking about. Someone who has been there-done that. It's a huge credibility booster. You will already be ahead of the credibility curve.
Yeah, it's not rocket science, every beauty contestant gets this drill:
The most important number in speaking is the number three. People like to hear ideas in threes. Three statistics as a maximum number to give at any one time. Incorporate three in any way you can: three points to the speech, three instances in a series, and three slides in a row. There is a cadence to the number three that is pleasing to the audience, as in three strikes in baseball, or three parts to a joke, or even three pigs or bears or Billy Goats Gruff.
What is The Rule of Three? The rule of three is a very general rule in speaking, in writing, and in music, that states that concepts or ideas presented in threes are inherently more interesting, more enjoyable, and more memorable. It's no accident that the number three is pervasive in well-known stories: the three little pigs, the three musketeers, or the three wise men.
It's no accident that you are likely familiar with these three part quotes: “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; “sex, drugs, & rock n' roll”; “truth, justice, and the American way” (of course, these are the causes for which Superman fights). It's no accident that good stories have a beginning, middle, and end and that video games, films, and literature are often written as three connected works in the form of a trilogy. My improv coach, Kristin Schier, explained the rule of three this way. She said, "The first time you say something, it's an incident, the second time you say something, it's a co-incidence, but the third time you say something, it becomes a pattern". In fact, she’s right, three is the smallest number of elements you need to create a pattern (or break a pattern).
OT: Gryphen, why do you think AP's report differs so much from the Frontiersman's? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/29/palin-stalker-restraining-order_n_744559.html Does the AP have more access to the transcripts than the reporters in Alaska? Are they too expensive? Which report do you think is more accurate?
Off topic but if you are concerned about the 18 year old Palin stalker going to Alaska. He's not there and he never was. He and his family were interviewed.
"Bottom line is, he is crazy and could kill me," Mrs. Palin said, according to the court transcript. "He wants me dead."
In an interview Wednesday night at his McAdoo home, Mr. Christy said he tried to contact former presidential candidate U.S. Sen. John McCain and Mrs. Palin, his running mate, because he believed the U.S. Secret Service had tampered with his cell phone.
Mr. Christy said he began making threats to get their attention and have his phone fixed.
"It wasn't the brightest idea," Mr. Christy acknowledged.
Craig Christy said his son was never in Alaska. Mr. Christy said he purchased a one-way ticket this spring, but never went on the trip because he couldn't afford a return ticket.
Mr. Christy said he sent Mrs. Palin receipts for a gun but that it wasn't intended as a threat. Rather, he sent the receipt from when he sold the gun to a gun shop in Tamaqua in April to let Mrs. Palin know that he wasn't going to shoot her. He claims he didn't contact Mrs. Palin, Cole or anyone else after July 3; according to court documents, he did contact Cole again.
Mr. Christy said the religious talk mentioned in the court orders was misconstrued. He said when he referred to being evil, he meant that all humans are considered sinners by God. He said he was raised Christian and wouldn't actually hurt someone.
Karen Christy is now concerned for her family's safety, and claims they've been the targets of threats.
"He claims he didn't contact Mrs. Palin, Cole or anyone else after July 3; according to court documents, he did contact Cole again." Would the court documents show whether there were phone records proving that Cole was contacted Monday or if they just took her word for it?
Gryphen, I'll chip in if you could get your hands on those transcripts.
Kind of OT but....just saw footage of Bristol Palin in Rumrunners on KTUU (seems the alcohol control board is investigating why a 19 year old was in the bar) and I noticed that she's wearing a coat inside...zipped up to her chin. Another midsection coverup attempt? Any still shots of her at Rumrunners last week?
Speaking in 3's is standard, but our fg says fluff in 3's. Amazing! Awesome! Outstanding!
Yesterday I suggested that this was overexaggerated fluff to take the bad publicity off Miller. I think I was close to correct. (I also pondered that he was a paid actor.)
The 3 thing everyone does. When I write anything significant, I try to add a third thought. Like the other poster said, combos like sex, drugs and rock-n-roll we remember. It looks good to put that comma in there and add that 3rd word. I avoid adding a fourth or fifth, though, even if it's needed, because it's too much to comprehend at once. In reality, only 2 words are enough to describe a concept, but adding that 3rd wraps it up nicely.
Anyway, yes she was boo'd. Are the executives going to drag out video of the hockey game to prove they were booing the refs and not her? I don't care if there were a few stray people booing the judges, it is crystal clear there was unusual, sustained booing to send a message to someone, and that was after the scoring was over. Those boos were for Sarah.
I read online today that DWTS announced that they offered Sarah Palin a spot on the show to actually dance, and she said she would. So hah....mystery solved, as if there was any mystery to begin with. They're booking her. So it's in their interest to lie. In fact, that was likely the offer all along - to book Sarah and she said no take my daughter first. Her daughter is not a "star," she is. There's no reason to book Bristol except for her. So Sarah got to milk it, to test the waters by showing up in the audience first, before she goes on.
This story is a great PR plant. Imagine Sarah Palin doing World Wrestling Entertainment. Even the thought of it is hilarious. Her entertainment value should go up! Stand up comedy is not her thing, I have no doubt after seeing her moves when Ballas went to Wasilla that she can outshine Bristol on the ball room floor. In any event it is great fodder for her propaganda firm.
What is important about Palin is she is taking campaigns into a brave new world. No longer will Republican candidates need to fake an education they can run on their other talents and media star status ratings. They won't have to bother with the old lamestream media. After all it is all about creating your own show.
Besides the mystery of how Sarah changed from a white jacket into the black one. (To make it look like she was there both nights? It is pretaped.) Why was Bristol wearing the lilac dress on the second night when the studio was doing damage control (you can see her primping in a mirror). I realize that there are one-hour cleaners in LA, but surely baby grifter has a wardrobe full of dresses!
On the damage control tapes, the boos are loud. This corroborates the in-audience member report that 80% of the audience was booing!
Here's a good story

The controversy surrounding Michael Bolton's elimination from "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night is not over yet. Although no one is really questioning the decision by America to send the singer home, most people still find plenty of ways to speak out about Bruno Tonioli's unusually harsh criticism of the jive, which is largely out of character for this good-natured show.
ReplyDeleteWell, Sarah did have one with Curt Menard then she had 3 with Todd.
ReplyDeleteBristol had 2 so far and there might be a third on its way.
