TRAIN WRECKS

Insane Sarah Palin, Late At Night On July 4, Threatens To Sue Entire Internet, Via Twitter

'Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned, Have died in battle or in vain, And you're sick of all this repetition, Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?'

How did you spend the Fourth of July? Maybe having a BBQ with friends and family, watching a fireworks show, and generally enjoying a happy patriotic holiday? Batshit-insane American Quitter Sarah Palin ended her own special “Independence Day” by posting a series of desperate grammar-challenged nonsense and vicious threats on her Facebook and Twitter pages. Really.

(Also: Sarah, you idiot, when do you plan to give up your Twitter name AKGovSarahPalin? Because, you know, you just quit being governor ….)

It is unwise to dwell on the past or be obsessed with an unknown future, but we should all appreciate the wonderful present — a present in which Sarah Palin is nothing more than a punchline. Because, had things gone very differently in November, this dangerous delusional numbskull would’ve been just an Ambien overdose away from the presidency.

Thank you, America, for steering clear of the Sarah Palin disaster.

So, after crazily quitting her elected position as governor of Alaska, via an alarming backyard last-minute press conference void of any explanation , at the classic 4 p.m. hour of the Friday-Holiday news dump, Sarah Palin is now twatting on the twitter about how her Anchorage attorneys are going to SUE THE AMERICAN MEDIA, for saying “WTF?”

Honestly, this is what Sarah Palin twatted on Saturday Night, July 4th, Independence Day, in America.

Her link goes to (of course) Scientologist nut and sub-literate weirdo Greta Van Susteren’s blog on FoxNews.com, where Greta has helpfully (?) posted seven pages of legal threats from Palin’s lawyers, although you can’t actually read beyond the first vague page of whining bullshit, because Greta/Fox can’t figure out how to operate the Internet.

@RandyG -- yeah, that's what I was thinking, too

My main problem with this is that I don't think this girl's pretty. At all.

This is the long and short of it.

Will Congress act? C'mon.

Yes, they'll continue to act like the useless millionaire's club that they are. Eight years of open fascism and now a genuine lemon we cannot believe in. Expecting Washington to correct any part of itself is a joke.

The States ought to reclaim power from the Federal government until the Feds deliver the mail and administer the National Parks and defend the coastline. And that would be all. They're shot through with corruption and this is yet another instance that will prove it.

Bizarre choices

Lists like this are an amusing waste of time better debated in person @ a decent bar while drinking ice-cold beer.

Stats are like Play-Dough

Moosh them to get the headline you want. Unemployment is more like 25% IMHO, but that would look bad in the press. What's left of the press.

The "stimulus" and that Bush43 "bail out" were THEFT plain and simple.

Zzzzzzz...

Another Nazi movie... zzz... wake me when it's over... Remember the Life magazine photoessay on the half-bred children US servicemen had left behind in Viet Nam? Doesn't have quite the same bite as One More Fucking Nazi Movie, does it?
