The Writer's Poke

People are speculating on what Palin's next move will be now that she's resigned her governorship . I wonder if Hugh Hefner's or Larry Flynt's people have made her an offer... By the way, what are the main duties of the governor of Alaska, anyway? And if Palin cannot fulfill the duties, does that mean that the first runner-up assumes the throne? Does the runner-up get her crown, too? Photo from http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/

Palin isn't going away. Now that she’s had a taste of the lower-48, Alaska must seem pretty rural (Yes I know she spent time in Idaho, but let’s face it: Idaho is more or less the middle of nowhere, too). So I got to thinking: It’s clear that Palin has 2012 on the brain. And a lot of people have 2012 on the brain as well, because we all know that the world’s going to end in 2012. Don’t believe me? The Mayans said so, and they’re never wrong. Trust me. Poles will shift, nukes will explode, and even worse, Palin will be elected president. Luckily the world will end before she can be sworn in, but Palin’s election will be the exclamation point that lets people know that the prophecies of 2012 are real. This isn’t being discussed anywhere else – you’ve read it here first. Even the wiki for 2012 doesn’t list the Palin election on its “list of possibilities” --> http://2012wiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_Possibilities Surely this is an oversight that will soon be corrected.

Here's a funny, funny interactive Palin link. Just imagine what it would be like to have her as our President. Warning: Don't click on the Red Phone!!! http://www.palinaspresident.us/

Can you believe that some people are already talking about a Palin 2012 presidential run? Can you imagine that? I can. It would be glorious. :)

"What Was Palin Thinking?" Sure to be a great DVD board game. Look for it at a Walmart near you during the X-mas Season.

Now that their political stock has dropped more than the Dow Jones, McCain and Palin have decided it's time to plan for life after politics. Interestingly, both have landed roles in the popular Batman movie franchise. McCain will assume the role of Harvey Two-Face, and Palin will be the first female to play the Joker.

I say, you just gotta love capitalism, don'tcha? http://www.cafepress.com/palinfear.311403650 After Nov. 4 when Palin goes back to her igloo in defeat, this shirt will be worth what your stocks are currently. But at least the shirts will still make good cleaning rags. :)

After last night's debates, I was left wondering: why even have debates? Palin admitted early on that she wasn't planning to address the questions asked by the moderator; instead, her strategy was simply to vomit out all the talking points that she had memorized at McCain's ranch. And it's probably a good thing she did that, of course. When she was interviewed by Charles Gibson and Katie Couric, she got herself in trouble when she didn't stick to her talking points (i.e. when she had to come up with an original thought on her own). If you compare Biden's answers with Palin's, it's pretty clear that Biden knew a lot more. Biden, I'd betcha (to use Palin talk), didn't have to prep or study for the debate. He already knew the issues, and he clearly knew what he was talking about. Palin, on the other hand, didn't express a deep understanding of the issues. However, Palin does have an ideology, and she stuck to that ideology, but what use is havin...

Have you read John Updike's "A&P"? It's a short story, and the narrator asks what pretty girls have for brains -- perhaps just a fly buzzing around in a jar. Personally, I don't think Palin is stupid, but based on the limited number of interviews she's granted over the past couple of weeks, it's painfully evident that political issues aren't her forte. And that's unfortunate; since she somehow got elected governor of a state, and was "tapped" by McCain to be VP, you'd expect her to know something about political issues... Most of you have probably seen her response to Katie Couric's question about supreme court decisions, other than Roe v. Wade, that she disagrees with. Amazingly, she cannot come up with a single case. I look for patterns. It might even be excuseable for her just to be off for one question, or even one interview, but let's look at the pattern: 1. Charley Gibson asked her about the Bush Doctrine, and she ha...

Here's another sign that the world will soon end -- no later than 2012 (especially if McCain/Palin steal the election). A farmer in Ohio commissioned aliens to carve a 16 acre picture of Sarah Palin in his cornfield. Starving people around the world applaud at the waste of corn -- all for America's corniest politician. Of course, if you've ever wondered what Palin would look like with cornrows, now's your chance. http://www.whitehousecornmaze.com/

Some might think that Palin is a witch, but actually, she is not. She is protected from witches by her pastor: a man who once ran a witch out of his village in Africa. So this man knows witches, and if he blesses Palin, that's good enough proof for me... What a fun world we live in.

Sarah Palin actions figures coming to a Walmart near you! Anyway... here's a cool link to the Palin Name Generator: http://politsk.blogspot.com/2008/09/sarah_13.html My name (Bret Ramon) becomes McCain Fortress My wife's name (Linda Diane) becomes Luger Otter My daughter's name (Octavia Hermione) becomes Jeep Pike Give it a shot. But if you play in the NFL, don't change your name until Reebok has sold all of your jerseys! http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/It-ll-cost-mucho-dinero-for-Chad-Ochocinco-to-sw?urn=nfl,106605

Sarah Palin's acceptance speech tonight was full of attacks on Barack Obama. If Hillary Clinton had delivered some of the lines in her speech, people would have called her a "bitch." Palin, however, will probably get away with her comments. That's very unfortunate. Notice the difference between how these two campaigns have been run. McCain's campaign is negative and always attacking. Obama's campaign has always tried to rise above politics. So, who's really putting their country first? The Republican party, a party I've identified with my entire life, is really turning me off and driving me away.

Yeah, it's a fake, but a pretty good fake. http://www.joeydevilla.com/

Pretty funny stuff. http://www.joeydevilla.com/
