I don't find any of the women in the picture to be all that attractive, so I guess I'll vote for McCain.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, she's no longer running for VP in '08, rather for future (as yet undecided) national office.

I, like many, would prefer to see the success of such an endeavor be made as remote as possible, so piling on now is just a logical tactic. Every well-documented misstep she makes now will be ammo against her in the future.

The Right may cry foul, but it's the exact strategy they employed against Hillary.

Put a stake through Palin's political heart.

Sarah Palin talks the way a lot of Americans talk

One of the principal shortcomings of citizens like "Elephantman" -they value talking, rather than speaking...

It's a joke.

Karl Rove is human being.

Ms. Paglia barely finishes gushing her admiration for Ms. Palin's low-brow affectations when she immediately launches into hawking the very product that she was just dissing: academia! No doubt it's just a matter of time before the Lipstick Pitbull discovers Ms. Paglia's latest pap on "that invaluable site Arts & Letters Daily."

Rather than wasting her twilight years prattling on about the "murder of American poetry," perhaps Ms. Paglia could peck out some important work on the REAL American poets: Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and Hank Jr!

That we were attacked 6 times under Clinton, and, with the exception of 9/11, haven't been attacked since...

Some of the families of the 5000 U.S. troops killed in attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq would probably disagree with him on that one.

own your death: Brautigan, Plath, Hemingway.

No laughter from the nurses, or their daughters, and it wouldn't matter even if they did.

Thanks for helping perpetuate such shit.

Step 1. Find out where the business power brokers (agents!) attend their AA/NA meetings. (You'd be surprised how easy it is.)

Step 2. Join AA/NA yourself. (Note: You do NOT have to stop drinking and taking drugs at this time; doing so will actually put you at a disadvantage, because you'll have less to talk about.)

Step 3. Go to every meeting you can. Talk a lot in front of the group, about how miserable your life has been until you met these wonderful people who are now helping you make it "one day at a time." When others (especially agents) speak, listen attentively, and be sure to offer genuinely heartfelt support to them, should they need it. (Make sure to have cigarettes handy at all times, as you will likely be required to smoke them with power-brokers during breaks. "American Spirits Lights" are popular currently.)

Step 4. Repeat step 3 until you find yourself working long hours for what seems like low pay in an industry job (preferably at an agency).

Step 5. Now that you have a toe-hold in the Biz, you must dedicate the remainder of your life to the following lines. Learn them, live them, apply them ruthlessly to every situation:

-If it's successful, I'm the person responsible.

-If it's a failure, I have nothing to do with it.

-If it turns a profit, any means are justified.

-If it doesn't turn a profit, it has no reason to exist.

-Fucking people is fun, both literally and figuratively.

-I never lose, no matter what, so don't try to fuck me.

Lastly, it doesn't hurt to find a "mentor" (very easily accomplished if you're young and good looking. Mentors are always men, so if you're a straight man who's uncomfortable in gay "situations," you may need to reconsider your commitment... It's comforting to remember that just because you sleep with men doesn't make you gay, and women in L.A. understand this.)

I absolutely guarantee that, strictly followed, the above directions will lead you to fame, fortune, and most importantly, power, Power, POWER! in Los Angeles.

Note: Someone with talent and/or looks should be hitting their stride in about 3 yrs.

Good luck, Grasshopper!

and Sarah Palin seriously.

We're so lucky Salon has provided such a remarkable intellect the opportunity to publish her "writing."

I fucking LOVE the internets.

There is no "T" nor is there an "H" in birfer. Editors, please take note. Thank you.

= fail

How can anyone take a fucking idiot like this seriously?

Oh wait- he makes lots of munnnny selling garbage to other idiots, so he must be important.

Here's an idea: shove a couple of dicks in his mouth; at least that would save us from having to hear any more of his "shit."

"Mr. Steele, what would YOU do to make Medicare more efficient? Be specific, please."

Alas. Painful nonetheless.

Whether by bootstrap pullin' or lottery winning, every American thinks, "Don't put constraints on the wealthy, 'cuz I'll be rich one day, too."

Sadly, it's in our DNA.
