State & Lake

The snake calmly replied, “you KNEW I was a snake when you picked me up.”
The above phrase comes from a series of stories involving people who picked up a snake because it pleaded with them.  In one story, a woman picks up the snake, takes it home, nurses it back to health and then she [...]

After McCain stated he would not run a negative campaign, like the screaming lawyer losing his case, McCain and his supporters have stooped to the level of negativity like nothing I’ve seen in a very long time.  It has also brought to memory some very old, tired and hurtful experiences of my life that were [...]

Palin Biden Debate & Wink[/caption]
Margaret & Helen have been friends for 60 years and they have a blog.  At 82, Helen dared to say what many are thinking but really don’t want to say.  Yeah, Sarah Palin is out for Sarah Palin and this past week her ambitious goals became very obvious.
In a discussion with [...]

My Fair Lady - The Rain In Spain

Yeah you know, you go off to college and you learn a little something and suddenly you’re an elitist.  Okay, so, let’s see, we have ageism, sexism, and racism.  How about we add classicism as well?  That will make the mess complete in this Divided States of America.  I tell you, we must have a [...]

SNL has not been the same without Tina Fey who is, in her own right, an excellent writer.  So many of us saw it the first time we got a glimpse of Sarah Palin in her “Tina Fey” glasses that Fey had to return to Saturday Night Live to do Palin.  The resemblances are striking [...]

Sarah Palin With The Big Gun[/caption]
Give it up!  Note the photo here.  Honestly, I don’t know if what she’s holding is an M16, an M4 or an AR 15.  It looks like an M4 but I don’t know assault weapons that well.  She can fire off this thing without a flinch, she holds it right [...]

Only because it was soooo good and made my day.  Love Tina Fey.

Okay, saw Palin tonight.  Underwhelmed to say the least.  I listened to her talk and she needs more of the Karl Rove Repub Charm [...]

. . . runs on horse power — varroom!
No wonder they won’t let the woman do interviews, she’s got some real issues and it seems anyone who has a mouth with anything to say about the “First Dude” and “First Duddete” of Alaska are saying it.  McCain’s handlers don’t want something to come out, have [...]

Now that I’ve had time to sleep on my anger, I feel good today.  I’ve talked with a few people about this week’s RNC convention and I feel really good knowing two people have made up their minds and have reconsidered their decision to vote Republican.  That too [...]

They ain’t good and this is a rant.  First, who wrote her speech?  I’ve seen and heard Palin speak in videos all over YouTube and elsewhere on the web.  My impressions, prior to tonight’s speech, were she’s a woman that can hold her own, feisty, and I have a great deal of respect for her [...]

Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan, two conservative bobbleheads, have a Jesse Jackson moment while talking with Mike Todd.  Their mics were open and their words, loud and clear.
After the cameras dimmed, Todd, Noonan and Murphy say what they really feel about McCain and his VP choice Gov. Palin.  Yikes!!  Peggy Noonan refers to it as [...]

This was a long weekend for the McCain campaign.  You would have thought Gustav made landfall in the life of John McCain, not the Gulf Coast.
This weekend, after the Daily Kos and others started the rumors on the internets, this morning the McCain campaign issued a statement that Palin’s daughter is pregnant.  That now has [...]

A focus group was conducted yesterday, sponsored by AARP, to gauge the feelings of undecided Minnesota voters.  This was done prior to today’s news regarding Palin’s daughter.  Many in the room were not in favor of McCain’s choice stating they felt Palin inexperienced for the job and an unknown.  Others, many of the women, felt [...]

Or so says the Los Angeles Times.  Today, according to the Times, Palin has admitted — or is stating — her daughter is pregnant and plans to marry the child’s father.  According to CBS News, the announcement is “intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up [...]

Ah, the music of South Pacific.  I loved the film only because of the music.  The music was by Richard Rodgers, the lyrics, Oscar Hammerstein II.  Now that McCain has chosen his VP, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, all I can think about are the words “some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger, you may [...]

I don’t know how long this video will stay around because it appears the post-vetting group is catching up with the tour and removing a lot of stuff that might be critical of Governor Palin.  That aside, I love what she says here about “whining” or perceived whining.  She’s right, you gotta plow through the [...]

I know a few of my friends — former and die-hard Hillary supporters — are livid right now.  They have accused McCain of patronizing women with his VP choice.  They’re livid.  I have heard every bad name a man can be called today [...]
