At a recent speech in Wisconsin, Sarah Palin asked about the ‘In God We Trust’ signage on US coins. Excerpt from The Awl:
[...]perhaps nothing is more disturbing than the terrible conspiracy to remove “In God We Trust” from the new presidential dollar coins. (The phrase was engraved on the coins’ edge.) At a top-secret speech in Wisconsin on Friday, the former Alaska governor broached this very serious subject, asking, “Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that?”
She also added that it was disturbing. Now, of course, I don’t know why the voices in Sarah’s head told her it was disturbing but I have a feeling why she felt the need to bring it up:
1. to communicate to her crazy as cat shit listeners that the scary black man was changing everything, even the money. THE BEAUTIFUL MONEY OF AMERICA IS BEING RAPED! (Can you imagine all these people going home and dumping all their change on the kitchen table to examine it? That thought does make me laugh.)
2. She’s got nothing else to say. She can’t speak knowledgeably about anything that is relevant and truthful so she has to create false narratives for Americans who cherish their paranoia like a first-born child.
But, but, but…
Sarah was totally wrong in trying to blame Obama for changing the position of “In God We Trust” — it was the Boy King George W. Bush who made the change and President Obama who changed it back.
Now, I have to ask myself if Trig told his mother that she was incorrect and she decided to go with the speech as is.
Yeah, I said Trig.
Because clearly he’s much smarter than his mother.

Adam Serwer of The American Prospect responds to Patrick Buchanan’s bleating about white Americans losing ‘their’ country:
Black Americans have shed blood in every American war since the Revolution. This country, even the very Capitol building in which today’s legislators now demand to see the birth certificate of the first black president, was built on the sweat and sinew of slaves. Before we were people in the eyes of the law, before we had the right to vote, before we had a black president, we were here, helping make this country as it is today. We are as American as it gets. And frankly, the time of people who think otherwise is passing. If that’s the country Buchanan wants to hold onto, well, he’s right, he is losing it.
Good riddance.
Tis a pity how reality must intrude into Mr. Buchanan’s brain.

The heart breaks for Rush Limbaugh. He was so close to achieving what, I presume, was a lifelong fantasy for him: becoming a NFL team owner. But unfortunately the reality of the free market that he once loved with his big mouth self. How does it happen that a man who says the most obnoxious things for stacks of cash doesn’t understand that a multibillion dollar enterprise doesn’t want to be tainted by his wacky, divisive antics?

Excerpt from Sarah Palin Discusses Trig Decision [Wowowow]:
Palin explained that she was out of Alaska when she found out, and did briefly toy with the idea of terminating the pregnancy: “There, just for a fleeting moment, I thought, I knew, nobody knows me here. Nobody would ever know. I thought, wow, it is easy. It could be easy to think maybe of trying to change the circumstances. No one would know. No one would ever know.”
Her conscience and faith, however, won in the end: “It was a time when I had to ask myself, was I gonna walk the walk or I was gonna talk the talk … I had just enough faith to know that trying to change the circumstances wasn’t any answer.” And for that we commend you, Gov. Palin.
I’m grateful that she had her faith to guide her to make a momentous life decision. And I’m glad that she did it without involving a judge, a lawyer or an elected official. Or even clergy.
I do not understand why she would like to deny me the same opportunity.

I just flipped onto Fox where Glenn Beck was telling some ninny that most people in the country would rather not have a president who is so “accomplished,” they would rather have somebody “sincere” and “honest” like Sarah Palin.
Sweet Jesus.
That’s what it comes down, doesn’t it?
For certain people , if you have a big brain and like to use it but happen to not be white, you will never be good enough to be President. Who needs intelligence when someone who is sincere, honest, unsophisticated, corrupt and incompetent that happens to be white?
Wednesday’s ‘grassroots’ protest was an extended temper tantrum over John McCain’s inability to rig the election. The teabaggers (everytime I see the word now, I get a visual of Rush Limbaugh teabagging Glenn Beck. My life is not pretty) cannot believe they have to live with the indignity of having a black (okay, technically 1/2 black) president represent the country they love so much (AS LONG AS THE COUNTRY MAINTAINS THEIR FANTASTICAL CONCEPTION OF WHITE HEGEMONY).
Fascist!
Socialist!
These are the words teabaggers use because they can’t shout nigger at the top of their lungs. These poor people are being forced to live in a world where reveling in their bigotry is no longer considered a sign of good breeding! Heartbreaking, isn’t it?

Bristol was also quoted in the statement from the governor’s office, saying “Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with–this isn’t ideal. But I’m fortunate to have a supportive family. The careful cobbling of sentiments reflected the awkward lin Palin has walked as an advocate of premarital abstinence and limited sex education, an oppeonent of abortion and a mother of an unwed teenaged parent.
You almost feel sorry for Sarah Palin that she’s carping about her lousy treatment at the hands of Katie Couric, Tina Fey and John McCain’s handlers while ignoring that she espouses policies that her own family proves doesn’t work.
Almost.

I don’t want to hear from her.
She’s the biggest punk for refusing to talk to journalists that aren’t afraid to do their jobs which is to ask REAL QUESTIONS.
