Here is Sister Sarah at her snottiest from last night's "Sarah Palin sees Alaska for the very first time" courtesy of Politico. Update!



From Politico:

"Conservationists write me these nasty letters because I support an industry like this," she told Todd in the car on the way back to the camp. "They write me these nasty letters using their pretty little pencils on their pretty little stationary not realizing. Where do you think your pencil and your piece of paper came from, people? It came from a tree that was harvested."

And yeah, much of the rest of the show was JUST like that.  If she was not bitching at the conservationists, she was bitching at Piper or Willow. It was a Sarah Palin bitch-a-palooza.

Update: You have to read this blistering review of last night's episode from Salon.  I loved this part:

We ended the day with a trip to Frasier Lake to watch Kodiak bears fish for salmon. Right off the bat Sarah's hippie detector was triggered by the guide who explained that he preferred bear spray to a firearm when she asked him how he protected himself. "Bear spray is more effective anyway," he explained, prompting a scoff from Sarah as she performed her own eye roll for the documentary cameras. Apparently there are Alaskans out there not sticking to the "kill anything that moves" script.

Actually there are a LOT of Alaskans like that.

    I can't tell, but it looks like that was Todd sitting next to Sarah. If you can read his mind it looks like he wants to say,

    "DAMN IT SARAH, WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE! I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE 2 HOUR FINALE IS OVER NEXT WEEK AND YOU LEAVE OUR FAMILY AND STATE FOR A MONTH YOU NAGGING BITCH!"

  3. The clip with Sarah and her "refudiate" bit has a brief glimpse of Willow -- and the most disdainful look a teenager can give a parent. I feel sorry for her -- Willow, that is. Must be miserable trying to share space with an ego that size.

If she doesn't have something to whine about she's got nothing to say. Gah, she wants to be America's victim. Everyone's always pickin' on her and her idiot family! Pffft She wants to be seen as the baddest asshole male in a female shell. Well, great, Sarah, you accomplished something---finally.

    Is Sarah positive about anything but herself, her family, Reagan and anyone affiliated with Fox news? I just don't understand how anyone, left or right, would consider her presidential material. She simply isn't!
    I also notice that the same people standing up for her at politico are also at HP. Idesign is one. They have lost all credibility, if they ever had any, but really they now sound like fools.

    I admit I was was wrong about Sarah. I used to like her and what I thought she stood for. Then I suddenly saw her for the petty, vindictive, insecure little housewife she is.

    Think about it people, she thinks these shows make her look good!? That alone boggles the mind. It shows what a silly woman she is and what a terrible parent. I wont even touch Christian other than people at my church are appalled by her language, her dress, her misuse of sexuality, and the complete lack of values she instills in her kids. I sat my 17 year old down and talked to her openly about birth control and Bristol when I heard her friends talking about how cool it is that Bristol has a baby and her own place. The Palins are NOT good role models for any true Christian or other family. Sarah is disrespectful to so many and I don't want my kids learning that.

    Does she really believe saying shit like that makes her more likable? I guess she's made her way through life appealing to the kinds of people who find that kind of dialog attractive and "strong." Her lizard brain doesn't allow her the introspection to realize that it doesn't work for very long in a more civilized arena.

    The truth is she looks worse and worse every week to more and more people (or fewer and fewer people if you look at her ratings.

    Sarah, if you were an intellectually curious and introspective woman, you would not have to wonder why people are constantly hoping, even fervently praying, that you will STFU.

    However, since you lack the self-awareness necessary to contemplate the reasons, let me enumerate a few reasons you need to STFU. I'm sure other readers will be happy to add additional ones. Perhaps one or two of them will resonate with your sorry excuse of a soul, and you will begin to moderate your constant harping.

    1. You have one of the most unpleasant voices most of us have ever heard. Your vocal cords will become more brittle as you age, and the more you talk now, the worse you will sound as your looks fade. A truly tragic combination.
    2. You use your voice in unpleasant ways to endlessly carp, whine, screech, complain, bitch, attack, belittle and generally put off everyone around you or within hearing range.
    3. You have nothing nothing of substance to say. You offer no solutions, only criticism. That gets old fast - just like you.
    4. Your self-hate is evident every time you speak. Only those who hate themselves can spew negativity 24/7.
    5. You prove how unprepared you are to be a public servant every time you try to appear politically savvy. You have made the phrase "willfully ignorant" your brand with every speech and screech.
    6. You rarely, if ever, express sincere support, appreciation, affection or love. You try, but your voice betrays you. Everything sounds brittle and false.

    When people tell you to STFU, Sarah, it is as much for the benefit of you and your family as it is for us. STFU, Sarah.

    A Harpy, from Greek mythology, was a bird-like creature with a woman's face and neck known for snatching food from the hungry, befouling their nests, and generally being cruel, annoying, and violent.

    Their voices made unpleasant cawing sounds whilst they said little or nothing of worth. Women who were sharp-tongued have been called harpies for centuries. Shakespeare even referenced this stereotype in Much Ado About Nothing (a title quite appropriate about Sarah Palin) when one of the characters tells another that he would rather do an assortment of arduous tasks for him "rather than hold three words conference with this harpy!"

    What is The Palin Matrix? You could define it in many different ways, all of which boil down to a madness that has infected the political lives of many Americans. You cannot see it or hear it or feel it with your hands, but you can certainly see its brainwashing effects on cable news, hear it discussed infinitely on talk radio, and feel it as you walk among the masses from the other side. America cannot heal its economic divide until we stop fighting The Second Civil War. The specific problem is that the other side has become so vehemently rabid that we cannot ignore the bully and hope he will just go away. We must defend the compassionate America we all know and love before it ceases to exist.

    The disconnect is so boggling.

    In an on-camera interview later, Sarah discusses the challenges of parenting a teenager:

    "The teenage years are not easy years. Any parent will tell you. You have to remember that you're not your teenager's friend; you are their parent. And we don't have to hang out and pal around. I want my kids to obey and make the right decisions, so again, you have to be a parent first."

    She takes Willow off on the beach for a little mother-daughter chat and some rock skipping. In Sarah's mind, apparently, a good topic for mother-daughter chat is the economics of the timber industry.

    "You know what their industry produces for the rest of us?" Sarah asks. "You know what wood is used for?"

    "I'm getting my mind on skipping rocks," Willow says. The eye roll is implied (we can only see the back of her head).

    Then Sarah tells Willow she wants her to help out in the logging camp mess hall the next day so she can learn some job skills.

    "What's the alternative?" Sarah asks Willow. "What else would you do if you don't know how to cook for yourself and cook for others? What's the alternative?"

    (From my couch, I'm silently begging Willow to say "college" so someone will have finally pointed out to her mother that so far on the series she's encouraged all her children to pursue physically demanding careers but hasn't once mentioned education -- Piper's calculator-enabled math homework aside.)

    Instead, Willow replies: "Frozen microwave food."

    Dana Perino: Sarah Palin’s Writing “Doesn’t Sound Like Her”

    On Fox News Sunday, former White House press secretary Dana Perino suggested somebody’s writing some of Sarah Palin’s meatier foreign policy musings–and it’s not Sarah Palin.

    “It doesn’t sound like her when you read the materials,” said Perino, who conceded it’s hardly uncommon for politicians to have ghostwriters.

    Perino said in Palin’s case the folksy style she brings to her public appearances, Twitter posts and on her reality show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska makes the uber-serious written takes, including a recent USA Today op-ed on Iran seem so out of character as to raise questions about her “authenticity,” which Perino claimed has “never been more important.”

    Most teenagers are embarrassed by their parents. Most are somewhat disdainfull of the pieces of wisdom that parents try to instill in their children. But few teenagers show the naked dislike - or may I even use the word, hate? - that the Palin children reflect towards their mother.

    Sarah, I feel really sorry for you. You're children will flee your presence as soon as they are able to do so. And they will not come back - except to maybe grift some money off you - if you haven't blown it all in 2 years.

    My problem with the loggers is that when they harvest a tree, they do not plant a tree to replace it. People like Sarah take, take, take, and do not replenish for future generations. And another thing, I wonder how many of those letters were sent by e-mail?

    Sorry, can't let this urban myth go by. All federal and most states require timberland to be replanted within 5 years of logging. Failure to do so carries a heavy fine.The logged area to be checked for compliance is done by what is called a stocking survey. The logging area must show a survival rate of at least 90% of the replanted trees.

    Some areas of the Pacific Northwest are the best tree growing sites in the world. By shutting down all logging we have moved the source of timber to more sensitive ground such as the Amazon. These areas do not reforest well due to the ground having very little nitrogen in them. Also large areas of old growth timber actually do little to help scrub the co2 as opposed to a young vigorous tree. The old growth is dying as it has reached maturity and hence most of it has rot which contributes to the co2 levels.
    Also most large wildlife depends on the areas being logged to provide forage.Old growth forest are so dense that little light gets to the forest floor and so not much vegetation grows underneath. The clearcut provides the forage when opened up to the light.
    Loggers are only doing what mother nature would have done had fire burned through the area in a natural occurring event. But since we have suppressed fire in the ecosystem for so long, and are now curtailing logging in these areas,many species such as deer and elk are having a hard time competing for the vegetation that is available.

    Sorry for my rant but it is a much more complex issue than just shutting down logging. And by the way, Sarah doesn't have a clue about it.

    Did SP mention that the Afognak operation harvests timber for export? So I guess we have to buy Chinese pencils (with bad lead that breaks in the sharpener) to get a real Alaska wood pencil? So who owns what she calls the "Evergreen logging camp?" Trans-Pac? Where does the timber go? Who really owns that timber? (www.transpacfibre.com/Log_Harvest/)

    Notice the prominent list for the China export market.

In Sarah's short life as mayor, governor, vp candidate and FOX contributor, Sarah has never sat down at a table with a group of news people and talked with anybody that she feels would give her hard questions. Sarah only talks to people that toss softball questions to her.

    Sarah Palin is done.

    The money tree is drying up.

    There will be no more books for Sarah Palin. Right now you can't even give them away.

    It is funny and sad that her last book signing stop in Alaska only drew under 400 people in her entire state. The largest state in the union, Sarah Palin's home state could only find less than 400 people.

    Well it's time for the little demon seeds to leave the nest and spread their own seeds and grift elsewhere than in the state of Alaska. What can the Palins do next? Family Feud? Sell McCain presidential blue visors? Todd is finished for sure in the oil business, can't trust him or his emails. Todd can't race snow machines in Arizona. Track has no skills what so ever, sorta like a Todd. Hopefully Track can hook up with a grifter like Todd did. There is no way any body with any type of sense will impregnate Willow. She is going to have to pull a Bristol and find somebody in the back woods to do her so she can sell her children's pictures to grocery store rags like Bristol did. Piper, what does she have to look forward to? Hopefully she will get some schooling soon before it is too late for her.

    What can I say about the Palins, "F" them and good riddance you stupid dumb f*cks.

    Stay tuned after the end of Sarah's Alaska, last episode for important announcement.

    Filming will begin on a new "Palin Reality Show", Bristol Palin Does Arazonika with her RILL AMURKIN fambly and will continue while we search for some things to bludgeon, kill and destroy, and for some TEEVEE show that we can rig to show the great "work ethicks" of Willow and Piper AND SARAH'S OLDEST KID, "WHATSHISNAME".

    Meanwhile the family lawyer, Fleabyte, is negotiating a "MADE FOR TEEVEE" special of revirginized Bristol giving birth to another GIFT FROM GOD(?) LIVE on TV.

    Reminding me of a naughty limerick I heard years ago;

    The one good thing about SP is that she brings out the intelligence in the rest of us - and that we should not feel bad for pursuing higher education in spite of the fact most of us are not stud muffins or beauty queens. We were the picked-on academic stars and shunned band geeks. We did not overtly participate in sports nor cheerleading. We were never the homecoming queens or kings. And yet living in Alaska, we did our fair share of physical labor.

    It was hard being a nerd in Wasilla - and I eventually left the state because of no work - and I've never looked back.

    Sarah's mentality is very common in Alaskan women - the 'fight fight fight!' attitude - just basically extremely competitive, even with other women. I've worked with these type of women - and, believe me, they are NASTY. Alaska is FULL of them.

    My one hope is my own dad, who lives four miles from the Palins, will one day wake the hell up from his obsession with Sarah. How embarrassing that he, and untold millions of elderly, angry, white, republican men are fascinated by this mentally-ill but physically attractive woman (at least in their eyes).

    We need a psychiatrist on this board to explain the fascination of SP to these guys. I don't get it.

    Of course, she thought people write letters with pencils instead of pens (or a computer). After all how would she know since I am sure she has never actually read any letter sent to her.

    The funniest thing of all? Like how many people write letters to her?

    I'm sure she gets letters from the palinbots but I doubt she reads them. She just takes the money and the gifts. Who care what they say...........

    I agree with Hindsite2020 @9:28.

    As far as replanting, it's a done deal. I actually worked a few winters in Washington State as a Tree Plant Auditor which is a fancy name for quality control guy. I would spend all day in the woods with tree planting crews checking up on their work. The planter get paid by the tree planted, anywhere from 2 cents per tree to 7 cents per tree depending on how hard of a unit it is to plant. The average was probably around 5 cents per tree. But they get deducted as a team if their planting doesn't meet certain standards. I would take 25 samples per day at random times and places in the unit. I'd plant my shovel, and attach my tape and walk a circle with a 20 ft diameter. There had to be 6 or 7 planted trees in the circle. If there were more or less, it was a deduction for each one. Then I'd gently tug at each one to make sure they were firmly in the ground. Next I'd dig them up to make sure the roots were spread well and not bent or J-rooted. roots above the soil were also discounted. The only time I'd make a non random plot would be if I found trees that a planter had dropped or hidden. Those were a couple of the tricks they'd use to claim they'd planted more trees than they actually had. They'd purposely hide bunches of seedlings or carelessly drop them one at a time along their individual line. If at the end of the day, the trees planted had an 80% or better well planted rating, they got paid the full amount for that unit. But for every percentage point below that standard, they got a deduction for the whole crew.

    My only complaint about reforestation is that it isn't natural as far as they are practicing mono culture. Naturally, forests are a mix of different species and each has it's purpose. Hardwoods such as alder are nitrogen fixers in the soil and make the soil more healthy for what's growing there. Hardwoods also lose their leaves, so more sunlight gets in allowing other species to grow on the forest floor. The primary species replanted in Washington is fast growth Douglas Fir and once the plot gets to about 12 years old or so, nothings else is growing there except the fir. Forest practices are changing tho, some of it market driven. The alders that were treated like weeds and were sprayed to kill them are now in demand as Eastern hardwood forests aren't producing what they once were. Alder is used in furniture and musical instruments and as a pulp wood. You see more and more big alder patches here on the Washington coast now. But what you don't see much of anymore is old growth cedar, fir, spruce,or hemlock, because the fast growth forests are harvested on about a 40-50 year rotation now. Old growth takes 100's of years and the markets don't allow for that. And lumber producers don't need old growth anymore for things like veneer for plywood. Instead of peeling logs for veneer, more and more plywood comes from chipped logs and is called "oriented strand board" or OSB. Old growth is still very valuable, just hard to come by. Old growth Cedar is so valuable that crews go out into new clearcuts in out area to cut shake and shingle blocks from the old stumps left over from when this country was first logged a hundred years ago. They use helicopters to lift the blocks from the steep sidehills and canyons up to a road where they can be loaded on trucks. Cedar has so much oil in it that the wood doesn't rot like other species. Most of the old cedar stumps are still pretty solid.

    Probably too much info for most, but the bottom line is, yes, forests are replanted when logged.

    The problem is that much of the timber replanted is a monoculture - as opposed to the gradual and transitional forests that occur naturally. These succession forest can be logged, but it is harder (more expensive) to do so.

    Sorry timber industry and loggers, the Constitution does NOT guarantee you a profit, and it certainly doesn't guarantee you a really, really, big one.

    Figure out how to log both sustainably and in a way that is economically viable, then come back and ask again.

    SArah seems to think that Willow can go back in 20 years and watch the harvest happen all over again. Sorry Scarah. A Sitka Spruce on Afognak after 20 years will be nowhere near harvest size. Growing 4 ft a year??? Yea..... NO. Perhaps in Oregon or Washington, but not on Afognak.

    What about Tripp and the next money maker? Sarah is passing down traits to the generations to come. Is there any possibility that Bristol has seen the light? She will allow Tripp to see his father? She will escape with Tripp to the desert? That kid is looking sad being used on Grandma's show. Why can't anyone mention if he on salary? What is his agent doing for him? The Palins have only screwed things up for him in court, is his star status paycheck the same deal?

    Sarah's reality show should really be titled, "The Revenge of Sarah Palin." She seems to spend each week settling old scores and getting even with people. Long after Joe McGinniss moved out, there was the fifteen foot fence, guarding the security conscious Palin family from prying eyes next door.

    Sarah let us know that Michelle shouldn't tell us what to eat. And the tree huggers use pencil on pretty stationery to write their protests to her. (Actually, I think that they write blogs and comments, posted on the paperless internet).

    Sarah is still trying to refudiate her use of the made up word. She is busy telling us that good work ethic means that you don't quit. That applies to everyone but Sarah.

    A note to Sarah about the pencils and stationery: Have you notice how paper is labeled "recycled"? That means that they collect paper, reduce it to pulp and make new paper. Yes, it originally came froma tree, but much paper is RECYCLED, used again. (It's a big word. Write it on your hand).

    There is also paper made from bamboo, hemp, linen, and other plant fibers. It doesn't have to come from a tree. There are now also pencils that are not made of wood, believe it or not. Don't they have that stuff 'way up there in Alaska?

    I live on Kodiak. It is appalling how Ms. Palin portrays Kodiak as a tree-killing, stock-car racing gun-toting community. There are very few of us involved in the timber industry and presently there is a huge outcry regarding how many trees are leaving the island horizontally. The track is open maybe twice a year and while it is a fun experience, check out how few people are in the stands. Yep, that is typical. And as to the use of pepper spray to fend off a bear the vast majority of us would avoid such an encounter in the first place. Pepper spray is hands down the first line of attack. Killing a bear needlessly engenders enormous issues with Fish and Game and nobody in their right mind would attempt the Sarah Palin suggestion unless absolutely necessary.

    Actually a lot of "wooden" pencils are made from recycled paper or cardboard, many are now plastic. Much if not most paper is from recycled. So only the graphite is still the original substance, since the erasers are no longer real rubber.

    By the 1970's or 80's 90% of America's forest were gone. Each year about 10% of the remaining is cut.

    The mono crop replanting that occurs on tree farms, national park land, and forests and woods owned by logging operations does not recreate the natural ecology of the native growth.

    Also too each tree removed from the forest takes with it many tons of organic and mineral nutrients that new growth needs to become robust and healthy.
    That would mean millions of tons of organic fertilizers would need to be put down in each area of clear cut, even if it is replanted in mono-crop or man made hybrid fast growth trees. That is not happening.

    The tree that Sarah cut down will never be replaced because the molecules and minerals that it grew from have forever been removed and will never be replaced.

    Watching Sarah move through Alaska is like watching Sherman's march to the sea.

    I think Perino's point can be effectively used to explain away why Palin "hides" on FB and twitter and hides from the press. Palin can't discuss facts and is not authentic. Then we can remind people that Palin refused to answer questions during the debate. She was woefully unprepared and worse refused to prepare for interviews. (so much for the queen B's work ethic)

    Not everyone reads e-mail or considers Facebook or Twitter official commentary. And there is no guarantee Palin pays any attention to anyone's tweets by her own. So in order to have a paper trail you have to have paper.
