Gay icebergs sank the Titanic and now they are threatening to do the same to America. At least I THINK that's what this video is saying.

Seriously what the hell kind of convoluted argument is that? And why bring the tragedy of the Titanic into it? (By the way, my daughter LOVED that movie!)

Here is more from Right Wing Watch:  

The Truth that Transforms film features well-known anti-gay activists such as Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy and Jerry Newcombe of Truth in Action Ministries, Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, right-wing historian Bill Federer, radio talk show host and author Michael Brown, and pastors Harry Jackson, Robert Jeffress and Erwin Lutzer. 

Staver warned that the “homosexual agenda is the moral iceberg that we need to steer clear of” and maintained that it is “the biggest threat I believe in our lifetime to religious freedom and the fundamental values we share here in America.” While Jackson said the “homosexual agenda” is “one of those icebergs that if we don’t navigate around them correctly, will take us under,” Brown claimed “we’ve already hit the iceberg and the ship is already going down” and Land insisted that “we’re taking on water, the only question is whether or not we’re going to be able to survive and the ship won’t sink.” Staver predicted that opposition to gay rights is bound to be “criminalized and targeted for assault” and Federer even asserted that “there are just a couple steps before the military could be used in a persecution of those that are viewed as enemies of the new state belief system.”

Silly me, I didn't even know icebergs COULD be gay.  You learn something new every day.

Does the existence of the "vacuum on the Right" indicate that Sarah Palin still has a chance? No!

There is a new article this morning from Bernie Quigley of The Hill, in which he quotes the Washington Post's Dan Balz as follows:

A vacuum on the right has become one of the distinguishing features of the campaign for the GOP nomination. One by one, candidates have come calling for support. One by one, they have stumbled or have been found wanting by rank-and-file Republicans.

And then Quigley adds:

Newt Gingrich rises, in opposition to MSM. He appears the best option now to face Romney. But is his appeal broad enough, and can the professor appeal to plain folk? That is the question and that is the question that Sarah Palin should be asking this morning. Possibly she created "the vacuum on the right" when she got off the bus and took it back to Alaska. As per last night it is safe to say there is still time to get in simply because nothing else is working. And the failure of the other contenders works positively in her favor. 

It is a sentiment shared, of course, by the now rudderless Sea O'Pee, who are still desperately trying to figure out some way to raise enough money to buy billboards in order to convince Palin to jump back into the race. (They do realize we do not allow billboards in Alaska right?)

The Sea O'Pee folks can be excused somewhat, because they are certifiably nuts, but what is up with these so called "journalists" actually suggesting that Sarah Palin still has a shot at the nomination, and then, hang on I am trying not to choke on these words, the White House?

Let me clear up a few things for all of you out there who are either rubbing your hands together in glee at the thought, or jumping out of your skin at the very notion, of Sarah Palin reentering the race.

She ain't going to do it!

I was such a good boy this year that I already received my copy of Geoffrey Dunn's book "The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power."

It just arrived today, and I am only on page 40 of a 423 page book. (Not counting the Acknowledgements, Bibliography, and Index of course.)

So far it is an EXCELLENT read and I am already captivated by the story, even though I already know much of it.

I will not be posting any big bombshells or heretofore unknown tidbits, since Geoff is a friend, and I am not an asshole.  However I will gladly give you my opinion of this, the first of the explosive Palin centric books headed our way this year, once I have finished it.

Now if you will excuse me I have some reading to do.

(P.S. Have you ordered YOUR Geoffrey Dunn book yet?  Well what are you waiting for?  Click here.)
.

I believe this serves as a pretty good metaphor to describe Palin's political future as well.

You know I hate to say I told you so but......oh who am I kidding?  I totally love to say I told you so!

While I am on the subject of Sarah Palin let me address a few of your questions real fast.

The next Palin scandal should be coming out in the next few weeks.  Yes I know what it is, and I will have some more additional information after another media outlet gets to have the initial scoop.

No I don't know for sure what AlaskaWTF has heard.  The hints that were given might pertain to what I know, or they might not.

This next scandal is NOT the one that was alluded to back in 2009.

It is also the first of the many very damaging revelations that are coming out in 2011.

Like I said before this year is going to be all champagne and cocktail weenies for those critical of the Grizzled Mama, and leave a devastating trail of tears for the Palin-bots. Try not to gloat.

I also think that many of the Immoral Minority's long time readers will be pleased to learn that their confidence in this blog will be validated, as both IM and myself will turn up in some pretty surprising places.

When that happens all of you will FINALLY get to see what I have been doing with my time when I am not sitting at this keyboard, or going to work, or eating, or sleep.....uh...hey.....I knew I was forgetting to do something!

By the way I don't say it nearly often enough, but I could never do what I do without all of the great support from you, my loyal readers.  Thank you very much for hanging out with me each day. It would not be nearly as much fun, not to mention pretty damn lonely, without your support.

It is time for the SarahPac people to start digging deep. Sarah needs some cash and she needs it now!

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has until June 23 to reimburse the state for an estimated $10,000 in costs associated with trips taken by her children, under a deadline imposed in a settlement agreement resolving an ethics complaint against her. Palin was given 120 days to repay the state after the late February agreement filed by a special investigator hired by the Alaska Personnel Board to investigate the complaint, which alleged the governor abused her power by charging the state when her children traveled with her.

The investigator, attorney Timothy Petumenos, has said Palin will repay the state for 10 trips.

Hey look SarahPac and C4P people. Yeah you. Let me talk to you for just a second.

You know there are a LOT of other politicians.

Even quite a few Republican politicians.

At least a couple dozen or so Republican female politicians.

Almost that many Republican female pro-life politicians.

And probably at least one or two Republican female pro-life politicians who occasionally wear bright red fuck me pumps.

Why are you paying the bills for THIS one?

Isn't there a better place for your money to go?

Do you really believe that she deserves it? I mean really?

Well I guess the good news is that they are only making her pay back the state for nine trips instead of the forty or so that she SHOULD be paying the state back for. I guess she pouted and boo-hooed her way out of paying those others.

Which is a damn good thing for you guys because if this one is going to cost her (and you) $10,000 than the whole caboodle would have cost upwards of $45.000 dollars or so, give or take a couple of hundred dollars for room service costs.

And that is lot of money that YOU then cannot spend on cool designer Sarah Palin glasses, or Sarah Palin commemorative plates that say "Drill baby, drill", or whatever prescription drug you take that makes it seem that her speeches make sense.

Look I am just thinking of you here.

I know you have vilified me and called me a "Trig troofer" (whatever the hell THAT means), but I am really a nice guy. I mean it. If you knew me I bet you would even like me.

So listen, Sarah is going to implode here in the pretty near future and I just don't want you to spend all of your hard earned money trying to save her from herself.

Just let her go.

She is a big girl, and she will probably recover (she is NEVER going to recover!), so just click off of whatever Sarah-loving site you are currently spending all of your time on, walk over to your children, give them a hug, and tell them that "Mommy's back".

And just you wait.

Soon there will be another great female Republican candidate that is not as ethically challenged or bat-shit crazy as Sarah Palin and you can start adoring her!

And when you do, just remember that Gryphen cared enough to help set you free. Hey it was the least I could do.

Namaste, my crazy little friends, Namaste.

(Yeah I know I said I was taking the day off from political blogging but you did not really BELIEVE that did you?)

Governor Sarah leads a parade. No not in little backwater Alaska! She is in a much cooler parade in Auburn, NY.

Gov. Sarah Palin Leads Auburn’s Founders Day Parade

There she is in her little black hooker shoes walking beside the First Dud, and acting like she is not hurtling toward a political iceberg. But she is.

(By the way the "iceberg" that Dennis Zaki is referring to has NOTHING to do with babygate. I just thought you all should know that.)

At least she kept her comments short exept that she smeared the name of Wiiliam H. Seward by suggesting that he was as confused about how far away Russia is from Alaska as she is.

This is usually where I try to ponder why the Governor REALLY left Alaska at this time. Any ideas?
