I don't know if the w00t the crowd for booing Sarah Palin or to be appalled at the fact she dragged her middle and smallest daughters out on the ice with her. What kind of a mother subjects their daughters to the scorn and rejection of thousands of fans on a hockey rink?

Oh right. The same mother that would force her daughter through a pregnancy even if she were the victim of rape or sexual abuse by her father.

Way to go Sarah!

ps : Can you spot the fan with the Obama/Biden banner?

You know the right wingosphere is going bonkers over the intimation that there may be anything with which to "take down" Barack Obama.

They don't have a viable candidate.

Their VP has been described as a joke and a cancer to the Republican Party.

Some either think Sarah Palin is a dangerous mistake.

So what to the right wingers do? Either incite to racist violence against Obama or try to smear him through the Rezko corruption investigation. Even if the real fall guy looks to be Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich :

Steve Benen explains:

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

Ouch.

Khaled Hosseini is the author of "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns", and he has some strong opinions about the use of "Hussein" as a dirty word and a call to violence against Barack Obama :

Making my life far easier in digesting the news :

ACORN registers lots of lower income and/or minority voters. They operate all across the country and do a lot of things beside voter registration. What's key to understand is their method. By and large they do not rely on volunteers to register voters. They hire people -- often people with low incomes or even the unemployed. This has the dual effect of not only registering people but also providing some work and income for people who are out of work. But because a lot of these people are doing it for the money, inevitably, a few of them cut corners or even cheat. So someone will end up filling out cards for nonexistent names and some of those slip through ACORN's own efforts to catch errors. (It's important to note that in many of the recent ACORN cases that have gotten the most attention it's ACORN itself that has turned the people in who did the fake registrations.) These reports start buzzing through the right-wing media every two years and every time the anecdotal reports of 'thousands' of fraudulent registrations turns out, on closer inspection, to be either totally bogus themselves or wildly exaggerated. So thousands of phony registrations ends up being, like, twelve.

Go read the whole thing.

Seems rather convenient for the governor to have had our Alaskan friends release the abuse of power investigation way past 5pm EST on a Friday. And it's a 263-page report at that!

It looks like a mixed bag of findings. Palin didn't break labor laws when she decided to reassign the then Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan, as retaliation for his insubordination. Of course, her camp is spinning it as a decisive victory for her.

Yet the report does say she broke ethics laws by abusing her executive power. In her case though was her inability to reign in her husband's "inappropriate efforts" in trying to get their ex-brother in-law fired

Not only does she call Sarah Palin a crazy bitch, she also said that if Barack Obama needed more experience, she could so totally give it to him. She thinks he's one sexy piece of man, LOL!

Enjoy Betty's mischief on the Craig Ferguson show.

Here's a hint : When am caught in a loop of videos or gossip posts, it's because I've been doing some serious pondering in preparation for a long post/article.

Hence La Britney.

What a hot mess.  I don't remember so much nakedness in a music video. What do you think?

They are both the awesome words of the day!

A fauxmosexual is a hetero who tries use celesbianism as a marketing ploy a la Katy Perry. Why? Because celesbians are only famous for being lesbians and very little else. It's like shooting fish in a barrel in a culture where media presentations of lesbians are the most often borne of male heterosexual sexual fantasies.

So even if it is surprising it is not shocking that Katy Perry would jump on the celebianism bandwagon to move an album or two. Up until last year she was a daughter of Christian Evangelical pastors, struggling as a Christian pop-singer under the name Katy Hudson.

Cue an overnight makeover, some fauxmosexual lyrics, a masterfully manufactured image and behold! A new, improved and, it goes without saying, successful product.
