Late Night: Valentine’ Day Warm Up: Pork, not Palin

Pork is more than meat or a verb; it’s an aphrodisiac, according to Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez. I’ve just been told something I didn’t know; that eating pork improves your sex life … I’d say it’s (...)

Warniks’ Woodstock

At the beginning, only a few heard about the event. After all, this kind of people have never felt comfortable with social networking - beyond the occasional tea party or KKK BBQ that is. But Fox News helped rumors spread around like wealth across a (...)

Has Sarah Palin ever been honest about anything ? Certainly not since she erupted into national prominence as the running mate in John McCain’s star-crossed campaign. The Sarahcudda’s sudden announcement in June that she was resigning as (...)

Palin is free to be the Party’s main fundraiser to keep their house divided!

GOP watch: Republicans vs. Palin Ever since that mistake Palin announced she was quitting her Post people were speculating why. It is obvious why, She was not picked by McCain for her Political prowess or her speaking ability. She was picked because she (...)

She may not be able to see Russia from her porch (not that she ever really claimed to be able to), but at least Sarah seems to get national defense better than Obama does. “I am deeply concerned with North Korea’s development and testing (...)

The Left Just Can’t Stop Bashing Palin

Okay, to be fair it isn’t just the fact that Palin scares the bejeezus out of the left and for a variety of reasons - morality, mainstream values (eek), etc. It’s also partly pure intellectual snobbery that keeps the left ticking - and kicking (...)

John McCain’s Disingenuous Act

This blogger backed John McCain while holding his nose, attending some events and glad he had a Conservative running mate. Sarah Palin would not be my first choice for presidential candidate in 2012 at this moment but she deserves repect, especially from (...)

In the closing days of the election, it was an article of faith among the pundits that Gov. Sarah Palin had become a drag on the Republican ticket. Whether because of the “Troopergate” investigation or her primetime network interviews, Mrs. (...)

A blink not a wink

A fly is a fly. So I’ve been told. But obviously you haven’t met Mophead. I have. Now basically I had always believed flies were created only to annoy us, at least me - to buzz around my food, or drink, after returning from eating the pile of (...)

CNN’s Campbell Brown : Some Of The Rumors About Palin Are Patently False

She doesn’t get too specific, but at least someone out there is calling the rumormongers out on this nonsense. And then there’s this : Stapleton says that during a briefing session someone asked Palin to explain the McCain-Palin stance on (...)

Palin Didn’t Know Africa Was A Continent ?

Seems as though there are some disgruntled McCain staffers out there are thinking that if The Maverick’s political career is essentially dead in the water, Palin’s may as well be too. I find it a little hard to believe that a woman who had (...)

Palin’s Segolene Syndrom

Sarah Palin may very well lead the GOP on the same losing path as the French Socialist Party. The long overdue implosion of the GOP (see "GOP : time to split") has started. McCainiacs are as dead as their leader. They are the only Americans (...)

McCain’s Strange Obsession with Iowa

Many articles have questioned McCain’s obsession with Iowa. Given that he all but skipped the caucuses in Iowa to campaign in New Hampshire, and that he has not led in a single public poll from the state, the obsession is puzzling. And then (...)

Annals of McCain - Palin : endorsed by terrorists
