The missing SNL Dem-bailout skit

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Serves me right for missing this episode. Sighs. Then again, if I see Tina Fey playing the flute and mocking Palin's "goshdarnit" one more time, and I'm punching my monitor. Details within. Special thanks to hotair.com.

I think we'll be heading for slippery slope domain, soon. If the Sandlers can pull this off, then anyone with deep pockets can do the same (well, the left has more money, you do the math).

Update (10/7): SNL will now re-write the script: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/07/flash-snl-rewriting-bailout-skit-didnt-meet-their-standards/

Plus, Michelle Malkin offers a transcript and caps: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/07/the-forbidden-skit-full-transcript-and-screenshots-of-snls-sorossandler-bailout-satire/

According to Barney Frank, if you criticize Congress, you're a racist.

Pride makes me fangirly.

This was the largest re-enlistment ceremony ever held in military history.The ceremony was held on the 4th of July, 2008 at Al Faw Palace, Baghdad, Iraq . General David Petraeus officiated. This amazing story was ignored by the 'mainstream' media.

For those who have been in the Al Faw Palace, you'll have a better appreciation of the number of people crammed around the rotunda supporting the re-enlisting soldiers.

Palin Rally

[some-day-soling.livejournal.com]

I just got home from the Palin Rally in Jax. I got to meet up with leahfu which was really cool. We got to be pretty close to the stage and getting to see Sarah live was just cooler than I can express. I have some great pictures of the speech that I'll post in a bit if people are interested but I wanted to talk about what happened afterward first.

We were waiting to watch her motorcade leave and there were three marines standing across the street.

( these three )

As Palin's car drove close to them, after the lead cars and motorcycles had already taken off, it stopped. She jumped out of the car (at least, as much as you can jump with a secret service detail), ran across the street and shook their hands. Then she ran back and took off. I just thought it was very classy.

( Here she is shaking their hands )

Alright, now off to re-size the rest of the pictures.

Ok, Pictures from her speech.

Sarah Palin rally Jax

[leahfu.livejournal.com]

As some_day_soling had said before we went to the Palin rally today. While I CANNOT compare to the awesomeness of her getting pictures of Sarah shaking hands with the Marines(best part of the whole thing).

( Buuuuut... )

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

A priceless sotry you will all appreciate:

I was sitting alone in my political sociology classroom about twenty minutes early when another classmate came in.  We'll call him Al.  Al is a bigwig in the college Democrats on campus and often uses our class as an excuse to get up on his soapbox.  Anyway, he puts his stuff down and says to me, "You seem pretty liberal.  Why haven't you ever done anything with College Democrats?"

I unhooked my earphones (I had been watching Doctor Who on my iPod (Army of Ghosts *squee*)), and said, "Because I'm not liberal."

"Oh," he said.  Short pause.  I had to ask.

"What made you think I'm liberal?" I asked, incredibly curious.  I always went out of my way to remain impartial in the classroom setting unless we were required to specifically express our affilitations.

"Oh, you've got style, and you always say intelligent things in class."

I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm kind of an elitist Democrat," he said with a bashful smile, "in case you haven't noticed."

"I'd picked up on that."

Awkward pause.  I put my headphones back on.  The rest of the class soom came in, leaving me to think ...
 

... Freaking seriously?!?!?!?!?!

The format of tonight's debate

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Michelle Malkin lays out what to expect of tonight's debate. Don't set your expectations too high.

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/07/a-word-of-caution-about-tonights-town-hall-debate/

Between Brokaw and Scheffer for debate moderators, you might have a case for bias. Sighs. When are we allowed to train journalists and moderators to be objective, again?

Also, Palin weighs in, and has a great finish. Link from Tammybruce.com.

IAVA Report Card

[kampfbaby.livejournal.com]

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonpartisan oraganization that works to help veterans get a voice in today's politics, has put out their score card for the year, reporting how every senator and representative has done supporting veterans.

How did Obama and McCain fare?

What do you all think about this?

(Incidentally, if you're interested in the rights of veterans, you should sign up on the IAVA's web site.)

Jim Geraghty, er, Obi-Wan, tells young conservative Jedis not to panic.

I'm dedicating this to lazypadawan, because I'm feeling nice and this is up her alley. Plus, there is none of Vader's big "Noooooooooooo!"

Time to panic? Not for young Jedis

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO violettavalery who made this picture possible to post!!

I had to share this with every community I belong to that is pro-Palin. This is from the rally at my city today! THIS IS BEYOND CUTE.

Are you ready for some debate?

[mynuet.livejournal.com]

Since it turned out so well for the VP debate, I figured I'd see if anyone wanted to watch this debate together. :)

I really, really hope we get the fighting McCain tonight rather than the conciliating one. *crosses fingers*
