So I did some web surfing and found out that this is a movie that was made in Finland, ans is meant to be a dark comedy. (I think we can agree that ANY film that has Palin as our President sort of has to be a dark comedy.)
Any how I think we can put this in the "just for fun" category. After all politics can be so depressing sometimes, and this is certainly a change form that!
Check out the movie poster!
And here we thought he was crazy!

So thats where Newt Gingrich got this particular fantasy.
ReplyDeleteDoes Callista know she's been replaced by Sarah Palin as the object of his (full moon) fantasies?

This is what foreign-policy success looks like
ReplyDelete...For the past three years America has been walking softly, and it's working very, very well. Ten years back, America often found itself isolated, struggling to pull together "coalitions of the willing" packed with small client states. Lately, we have been finding ourselves in the majority, along with the democratic world, while Russia and China front a dwindling coalition of the unwilling. To some extent, this reflects a smart, subtle foreign-policy presence in which we have done a vastly better job of looking at what other countries actually want, and seeing where our interests align, rather than trying to bully other countries into supporting our goals. To some extent, it's luck: the Arab spring happened.
And to some extent, there's a personal factor. Look through the Pew Global Attitudes project data on confidence in the US president. In almost every country, you'll see a dramatic or startling increase in confidence between 2008 and 2011. In Germany and France, George Bush had approval ratings in the low teens in 2008; Barack Obama's approval has never dropped below 80%. In Japan and Britain the shift is nearly as striking. In Egypt, the corresponding figures are 11% and 35%. Even in Russia itself, they are 22% and 41%. When Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice try to win backing for American positions at the UN, the exceptional popularity of the president they represent in other countries is obviously a factor. Commentators who envision Barack Obama running on his foreign-policy successes in this year's campaign generally adduce examples like the assassination of Osama bin Laden and the crippling of al-Qaeda. Perhaps these are the examples that figure most clearly in the American voter's imagination. It would be nice, though, if voters evaluated presidents' foreign policies on the basis of whether they had won the respect of the world and advanced American interests internationally.

Obama Punks the GOP on Contraception
ReplyDelete...The fun part of this is that Obama just pulled a fast one on Republicans. He drew this out for two weeks, letting Republicans work themselves into a frenzy of anti-contraception rhetoric, all thinly disguised as concern for religious liberty, and then created a compromise that addressed their purported concerns but without actually reducing women's access to contraception, which is what this has always been about. (As Dana Goldstein reported in 2010, before the religious liberty gambit was brought up, the Catholic bishops were just demanding that women be denied access and told to abstain from sex instead.) With the fig leaf of religious liberty removed, Republicans are in a bad situation. They can either drop this and slink away knowing they've been punked, or they can double down. But in order to do so, they'll have to be more blatantly anti-contraception, a politically toxic move in a country where 99% of women have used contraception.

Moon zeppelins--nice touch of authenticity! Love the Mao-esque Palin poster on the building, also too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with the lower gravity on the moon, Newt won't have an issue with "droopage"???? Hahahahaha

Thanks for posting this Gryphen; Wonkette commenters had a field day with this one yesterday! My only question is why does Sarah have a southern accent?
ReplyDelete"Baen was reduced to handing out free copies of the novel to anti-Gingrich protesters outside, who tore the books to pieces on television."--
ReplyDeleteoh if i was there to get a brisket book that would be a fun thing to do.
Way too funny!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like somebody found an old copy of Robert Heinlein's book "Rocket Ship Galileo," in which amateur postwar astornauts discover a Nazi base on the moon.
ReplyDeleteWell, let's see how it turns out!
Tom, in FL
I am so going to seek out this film. It looks amazing, and I am usually no fan of sci fi flicks. I assume Ms. Palin will get her due.
