Remembering Alaska's Independence Day four years ago today!

(Part Two)

"Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and "go with the flow". 

Nah, only dead fish "go with the flow". "

God that was a great day!

I remember being on the phone all morning trying to find out why the Governor had called a last minute emergency press conference, and giving the press only about twenty minutes to get all the way out to Wasilla to cover it.

When I learned the reason I could not stop laughing and smiling.

And I am again laughing and smiling today.

Thanks Sarah Palin! That was the nicest thing you ever did for Alaska!

If you are interested here is the transcript.

Of course this is everybody's favorite version of the speech.

Oops. it looks like SOMEBODY is starved for attention. And possible for a cheesburger from the looks of her picture.

"People are forgetting about me, I have to do something stupid to get their attention!"

Who is running our country? We've got a CIA Director sharing security info with his mistress using an unsecure gmail account. We've got the delusional Susan Rice blaming the death of an ambassador on a Youtube video. We've got Iran firing on one of our drones a week before the election. We've got the White House either ignorant of or covering up all of this. Who is minding the store? Everywhere we look we see the rank incompetence or corruption of the people who are supposedly running our country and our major institutions. Let's hope that responsible reporters at Obama's press conference today ask the right questions Americans deserve answers to. 

Here's my question for the president: As our nation's chief executive you claim to be unaware of the most important and tragic situations we're facing; so, as a former chief executive, I'd like to know how long it takes for your staff to tell you things like: "Sir, your CIA Director is under investigation"? 

- Sarah Palin

Seriously?  This idiot was not even aware that her daughter was spending the night banging her boyfriend, and then sneaking back into the house before she woke up. And then she attempted to fool people into thinking she was pregnant in the clumsiest manner possible, by stuffing a sofa cushion under her shirt.

Yet SHE feels qualified, as "a former chief executive" to ask the President to explain why the FBI did not see fit to inform him that the CIA director was under investigation?

Perhaps she should call her friends on the FBI and ask them?

Update: BY the way I am watching the President's press conference while typing this and the President is being VERY  forthright about a number of issues, however he is not taking the bait of commenting in too much detail about the Petraeus investigation which is still ongoing.

Oddly enough he does not seem to even be aware that the batshit crazy Facebook blogger has a question for him. Go figure.

Want to enrage a Mama Grizzly? Invite an ex-witch to give a speech the same night that she is scheduled to give a speech. That oughta do it! Update: O'Donnell gets the boot!

Tea party-backed activist Christine O’Donnell will take the stage at Saturday’s tea party rally in Indianola shortly before Sarah Palin, an organizer told The Des Moines Register today. 

O’Donnell, author of the book “Troublemaker: Let’s Do What It Takes to Make America Great Again,” lost a bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Delaware last fall. 

Other speakers will include Sioux City radio host Sam Clovis of KSCJ, Iowa tea party chairman Ryan Rhodes, Tony Katz of Pajamas Media and Los Angeles-based comedian Eric Golub,said organizer Charlie Gruschow, an Iowa tea party activist. 

Last to take the microphone will be Palin, a former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate. There was speculation that Palin would use the event to reveal whether she plans to run for president in 2012 – speculation that Palin’s inner circle quickly shot down. 

Gruschow said he has no clue what Palin will talk about. 

“I think it’ll be about freedom,” he said.

Wow!  A failed VP candidate AND a failed Senate candidate!

If they would have scraped a little harder on the bottom of that barrel they might have been able to get failed "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Bristol Palin on the roster as well. Then it would have been a real "You-suck-a-palooza."

You know last night I had the hardest time sleeping because I kept hearing this metallic clanging sound coming from outside of my window.  I could not for the life of me figure out what it was until I read this article.

Then it all made perfect sense.

"I was just standing there minding my own business. And then she started winging cans at me. What did I do? What did I do?"

They say on a clear summer night, you can still hear the scream of the politically irrelevant "Wasilla Banshee" careening across the lake before echoing off of the surrounding mountains and into the distance.

"Taawwdd!!!"

"TAAWWDD!!!"

"TAAWWDD!!"

Update courtesy of The Wall Street Journal: 

Former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell will not speak at a tea party event featuring former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in Indianola, Iowa, this weekend, an organizer told Washington Wire. 

“I made a mistake,” said Ken Crow, president of Tea Party of America. “I assumed there was an open slot and there wasn’t.” 

Monday night, Mr. Crow told Washington Wire that Ms. O’Donnell would appear. 

Tea Party of America’s cofounder, Charlie Gruschow, said the group withdrew Ms. O’Donnell’s after receiving numerous “emails from a lot of tea party folks that were very disappointed that she would be speaking.” 

“We decided not to have her speak,” Mr. Gruschow said. “We felt it was in the best interest of the movement.” 

Ms. O’Donnell’s spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

They "assumed there was an open slot?"  On the same ticket with Sarah "I'll bite your face off" Palin?

Seriously?

Man I have to say even I am amazed by how fast Palin destroyed her competition for the Teabager's attention!  That must have been some serious canned food flinging she did to get Todd on the phone and rallying the forces on her behalf so quickly. (Hey Wasilla, keep an eye out of Todd.  I heard he emerged from one of these "conversations" with a black eye last year.)

I would really like to see those "numerous" e-mails. Ten to one they are mostly misspelled missives, just chock full of racial slurs and vicious threats, all typed out in capital letters and punctuated with a plethora of exclamation points.
