Feel good picture of the day!

This is the scene at the Borders closeout sale in Maryland.

So nice to see that the Grizzled Mama's stupid book of regurgitated stories she stole from more accomplished authors will STILL not sell, even at 90% off.

And it is equally satisfying to see it on the shelf right next to another lying Republican who should not financially benefit from his duplicity.

Perhaps they should relabel it "cheap toilet paper." I can think of a number of people who would LOVE to wipe their ass with a George Bush or Sarah Palin book.

    He, he...I was in my local Borders a couple of weeks ago, and there was a front table loaded with every RWNJ book released in the last year...Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, George Bush, and yes, even Rick Perry's was there.Stacks upon stacks that NOBODY was even looking at. Back in the teen section, Bristol's book lined three shelves of an otherwise empty fixture.It looks like Borders will actually have to pay their cleaning folks or staff to throw them away . I murn for the trees who lost their lives to print such drivel.

    I was recently in the Borders at Columbus Circle in NYC when I was on a business trip. THOSE people have a sense of humor. They put all Obamas books next to Palins RIGHT IN FRONT. I laughed out loud which drew many smirks and weird glances.

    Please tell me why is Sarah Failin getting such good press from the new york times? Anand Gridharadas wrote about the brilliance of her Iowa speech and the bots at Cash4Palin are lapping it up. When oh when will she finally be exposed and slink away into obscurity? OTOH, kinda hope she runs and then gets exposed--as an idiot during debates and interviews, and "also, too" with her deceptions.

    Hilarious! By the way, she makes an appearance on Fox today, and BIG SURPRISE: criticizes the President.Really, it's the same old lines, ONE MORE TIME.

    But the most interesting thing in the interview is her face. She has a sagging lump of skin in between her eyes, right above the bridge of her glasses. When she lifts her brows, the strange lump disappears and then slowly appears again. It's as if the skin is weighing too heavily between her eyes. So ugly.

    Joe McGinniss is citing a NYT article that said Sarah Paling just got more interesting based on what she said at a speech the other day.

    All Sarah is doing is recycling the same speech she used to run for city council , mayor, and governor. Everyone is bad and evil and I am good!

    That's why Sarah is the most dangerous politician to ever walk the face of the earth! She says this crap and then steals everything she can get her hands on once she is elected.

    I was at our Borders today. There is roughly 5% of their stock left, tops. VERY few multiple copies of ANYTHING, 2 or 3, if at all. The ONLY exception, that I could see, was Sarah's America By Heart. There were at least a dozen stacked up in piles, even with 90% off everything. The doors at out Borders close tomorrow night. Sad to see. I spent many hours there with my kids when they were little.

  48. I am a transplanated New Yorker and I can't believe the New York Times has so dropped the ball on all the republican presidential candidates, much less $arah Palin. Today, they seem to be encouraging a mentally-ill degenerate with an IQ of what, 85? How dare they put her anywhere near a headline. They know better than that!!!

    Actually, I would be happy with one headline, "Why Would ANYONE Encourage A Mentally-Ill Degenerate With An IQ of 85??? I don't know their corporate structure, but I look everyday for articles and opinions exposing these candidates and everything is pitifully light. The writers seem to have their hands tied. I can only imagine THAT pressure. I would like to see headlines everyday like, "No, not Rick Perry", followed by a simple list as to the reasons why not, the facts. Then, move on to the next candidate, the next day, and the next. Every time a prospective candidate lies or distorts, (they cannot hide from their records), a headline, followed by a simple fact-based list. Get rid of these candidates and move onto the qualifications of the next one.

    I would also like to see an attempt at reality at presidential debates. A panel of intellectuals is needed, so everytime one of the candidates answers a question, SOMEONE, extremely knowledgeable and unbiased, (and they ARE out there, believe me), could then comment and put a fact-based perspective to the response. Otherwise, as we have seen, candidates can just stand at their podium, and lie, looking good for the camera. They are masters at the con. Ordinary people do not know if they are lying or not and just believe what they say. People will get the message. The NYT used to be THE source, considered to have unquestioned integrity. The most respected Journal in the world by the highly educated. The ultimate free thinkers. For quite a time now, they are just pandering like everyone else. They don't want to be on the wrong side of the winner. These are Ivy League, non-bible, educated people, the best of the best. Shame on them for not continually warning the world about the republican presidential nominees. Shame on them for worrying more about the bottom dollar than the nation.

    And, as an aside, shame on them for not exposing 911 for what it was, a complete con on the american people. I continually wonder about that. Really, I get the worst feeling in the pit of my stomach everytime I think about what the Bushes got away with. I have watched credible, no nonsense, fact filled documentaries about 9-11. I cannot believe major journals have not exposed it. I guess it might lead to a breakdown of the very fabric of our society and they have been warned not to expose it, for what "they", the ultra rich, the Bushes and others, consider a greater cause. I would believe anything, and the NYT and others not exposing $arah Palin does not surprise me one bit. It is all about money and power and conscience-less-ness. To get along you have to go along.

    Now is the time to remind people what free press is all about. For heaven's sake, our democracy is at stake. Surely The NYT can see it degrading. The NYT and others have forgotten what GREATNESS is all about. HOW DO THEY THINK OUR DEMOCRACY WAS FORMED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO? THE PRESS. THE PRESS TOLD THE TRUTH AND KEPT PEOPLE INFORMED AND INVOLVED IN CREATING THE GREATEST DEMOCRACY THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. Now the disinvolvement of the press will help bring it down.
