    Since this is an open forum (yes?) I'll post this link to the Rolling Stone article about Jeremy Morlock. It was #1 of Top 10 Most Read Stories for 2011.

    (I might be confused, it might be #10, it's labeled #1 but the article leading into it seems to indicate that OW was the biggie for the year.)

    That whole story (saga) is just so sad all the way around (Morlock, not OW).

    ps I found the story mentioned on the page about McCain that someone on another link mentioned. I usually search around and see what else is up when someone suggests a site. So, thanks everyone for your links. I don't post a lot, but I do click on those links.

    Why would you show us a mental picture of you with your cloudy vision and ugly concrete in place of gray matter?

  6. Yep just watched Baldy on InSannity tonight! For sure FAKE News must of hired somebody to do her hair and fix the background and pick out appropriate clothes for her to wear! The wig was clean, it had curls... I think they were trying to go with the "bed hair" look...but it's still a wig because they just can't get the hairline right for some reason!

    Since her head is so fucking ginormous the wigs don't fit...so they are either going to have to get her a custom wig or hope that nobody notices! Looks like she had a Herpes outbreak because the lip had the proverbial cold sore on it!

    She just repeated the same shit's she's been saying the last couple of days but then InSannity must get his rocks off seeing her snarling whenever the President or First Lady is mentioned because he showed an interview that Michelle did with Gayle King of CBS This Morning...Michelle was talking about how the President needs to let more people know what he has accomplished...then she was cut off mid sentence and the next shot was of Baldy with her giant head cocked to the side with her hand holding that big ass head up...smirking! Then she spewed some shit calling herself a "numbskull" twice! I didn't understand none of it..It was word salad on steriods!

    Anywho the Zoo is upset that John Bolton endorsed Romney...not sure what that has to do with Baldy but you can never tell what will set off the patients!

    Ezra Klein was on the Ed Show tonight talking about the tax policy Mittens is proposing. That same policy that when Ed asked former NH Gov Sanunnu (I don't know how to flippin' spell it!!) the question whether the taxes for higher income would go down and lower income would rise. Sanunnu responded with the end statement: That's a 'Crock of Crap'.

    Ezra explained Mittens policy more clearly than the usual talking points you hear and it includes extending the Bush tax cuts, etc. Yup -- Sanunna is the 'Crock of Crap'

  8. WOw. Thanks for that link to Sarah's distortion of what Michelle Obama said. Actually, according to reports, Obama has brought back 75% of the jobs lost when he took over the White House.

    So, Sarah can diss the prez and his wife, but what has she ever offered as a remedy to the situation? Just a bunch of nasty soundbytes.

    I did like her "thoughtful pose." Nice one, Sarah. Not.

  12. Michelle Obama has said NOTHING about the dumb stupidity of Sarah Palin. Despite the personal attacks against herself and her husband from John McCain's second string, Mrs Obama gets on with raising her daughters, supporting her husband and helping children, the military families and so many others in many different ways.

    Mrs Obama is such CLASS and works so hard for the people, all the people, while the quitter does nothing except make snide remarks about things she knows nothing about.

    That anyone gives her the time of day is beyond comprehension. One wonders if a kind thought or helping hand has ever been given by Mrs Palin in the past 3 years.

    President Obama receives 282 write in votes from registered Republicans in NH.

    Their own party choices were worse than the opposing party incumbent. So sad that their voices are drowned out by the RWNJ's.

    OMG~I just finished listening to that entire Hannity/Palin interview. What a "crock of crap". She is such a liar!!
    She knows absolutely nothing about what is going on in this country or the world.
    She makes me so angry and I really just want her to STFU.

    Sarah is obviously bitterly jealous of Michelle Obama. Michelle is our First Lady, living in the White House and married to a handsome man, who is Harvard educated, a brillant orator, and President of the United States. Sarah, on the other hand, lives in Wasilla AK and is married to a girly-voiced, redneck who never got past high school, can barely string two sentences together, and quit his job to be supported by her.

    great comment from the mediaite article:

    Palin said: "what are WE, just a bunch of numbskulls out here in the HEARTLAND of America?”
    First of all: She is referring to herself in the royal pronoun, the royal "we" or the Victorian "we." It is most commonly used to denote the excellence, power, and dignity of the person that speaks it or writes using it. Sarah, of course, has a very, very high opinion of herself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...

    Secondly, the use of WE in the manner she used it is to exploit any commonality she may have with her viewers; "she's just like me!" - which of course, she's NOT. Then, she "dumbs it down" to the level of her audience - using an antiquated, yet familiar expression all can relate to: numbskull. It's dumb, it's hokey - and this is what she knows her audience understands. Talk about setting the bar lower! Think about that for a moment.

    She is always painting the Obama's as Other, Different, Strangely Exotic - while she, at the same time is all of that and more - or less, much less - depending on your POV. She is everything 99% of the people watching FOX are NOT. She is a former governor. She has met presidents. She rubs shoulders with Hollywood. She is RICH. She is famous. She is on TV.

    And you're not.

    So she pretends to be "just like you", and speaking "for you". The typical FOX viewer that she must dumb things down for. But - all of her money, all of her folksy "ism's", all of her posturing regarding the President and Mrs. Obama - it's all envy and sour grapes. All of it. She's still raging mad SHE'S not anywhere near the White House.

    Palin was on a clip tonight with Eric Bolling, all three of the repubs on the panel said she was irrelevent and it didn't matter who she gave an endorsement too...and OMG, can she quite wearing that coon skin cap on her head...I've never seen a woman age so fast in a year, she must just be in misery to realize just how irrelevent she has become....

    Another comment from the Mediaiate article:

    “Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord — what are we just a bunch of numbskulls out here in the heartland of America?”

    I like how she brings in the entire "heartland" into the mix, no Sarah actually we just think you' and Hannity are stupid. The Heartland is filled with people of all kinds of political leanings, it's hilarious for these two to act like America is only filled with people that are against Obama.

    That's the weird kind of propaganda of the network, they act like everyone agrees with Fox News.. even though every other major news outlet pretty much reports the opposite of what they do. IT's not a coincidence, it's because Fox News isn't trying to be an objective news entity, they're trying to be biased entertainment for the conservative masses. Part of that is to make people watching feel like everyone is on Fox's side and Fox is number one. That's why those stupid postcards keep popping up of Fox News winning the ratings. It's to convince their viewers to keep watching because Fox is "popular and all conservatives watch it". The reason Fox News Viewers know less than people that don't watch the news is because they live in a little bubble of unreality.

    Fox News pushes the views of about 30% of America but it's viewers think it represents like 80% and they can't understand why their racist, hypocritical, super religious, super-weird candidates are attacked so much. Its because they aren't mainstream.. Fox News Viewers aren't mainstream, they're the fringe.

    Unless the First Lady -- any First Lady -- advocates the use of drugs, the burning of the American flag, and says she doesn't believe in reading or helping beautify the nation's highways -- never is she attacked by a U.S. citizen.
    Sure, it's fun to privately cackle at Mamie's hominess, or Pat Nixon's loneliness, or Jackie's imperiousness,but, publicly, the wife of the President is out-of-bounds. Period. With all the vitriol aimed at Geo. Bush, Laura was left alone.

    Those were the old rules, anyway.
    Since Michelle Obama supports anodyne causes, smiles, laughs, has a secure family life, and sets a good example for all Americans, it is the height of rudeness to make any kind of remark about her.

    To do so is plain and simple racism, but that's what Sarah's dog whistle was screeching, wasn't it?

    And it displayed Palin's unceasing ENVY of the First Family, which is very IMMATURE, not to mention extremely RUDE, and just shows how JEALOUS she is of accomplished people. FACT.

    Just like repubs to secretly covet the intelligence, good looks and competence of those libruls who seem to know what they're doing, and still have their own hair.

    Every time fuckwad Palin is given a forum to spew her illiterate shit, it is a virtual slap in the face to all us thinking educated people.
    Please make her go away. There is only so much abuse we should have to take from this fuck.

  27. That giant snowstorm is in Cordova, not Anchorage. http://tinyurl.com/7lnk7tp

    Though we did set a record for snow fall in Anchorage last month it was mostly just annoying and not too debilitating.

    I refer to snow shoveling as "Alaskan aerobics." That's why I wear spandex and a headband.

    That's EXACTLY why I read the comments, and please do consider commenting again. That story is just sickening, but war isn't pretty. What bothers me most, as you may know already, is this Morlock kid reached OUT to Sarah Palin for help before this happened, and it fell on deaf ears, his sister and family are friends of the Palin's kids.
    Interesting link, thanks for sharing it!

    Uhm, who peed in your prune juice this morning? Ever been to Alaska and experienced all it has to offer?

    Zaki has a sharp eye, but he isn't going to photoshop a row of double-wides with dirt paths next to a swamp off a truckstop in Arkansastan just to make you happy.
