Being Satirical

Sarah Palin recently excused Rush Limbaugh for repeatedly using the word "retard" but slammed Rahm Emmanuel after it was reported that he used the word, calling for his resignation. Palin has a mentally disabled son. She either feigned outage then or is covering up for Limbaugh now. Both are unacceptable responses.

Palin defended Limbaugh by saying that he used the term satirically. "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ...," said Palin on Fox News, as if she knew the meaning of the word. "I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with f---ing retards."

Here is what Stephen Colbert had to say: "Sarah Palin is a f---ing retard." Like Limbaugh, maybe Colbert was using satire too.

Lest we forget, here is what Jack Cafferty thinks and the look on Katie Couric's face says it all:



Here's what I think sans satire: Sarah Palin most certainly has mental deficiencies.

Being a Pundit, Newscaster and Analyst

Sarah Palin, the newest analyst for Fox News, over the weekend in an interview with Chris Wallace of the same news station suggested that President Obama play the "war card" to boost his poll numbers to win the presidential election in 2012. Can somebody please affirm that war is actually about death and destruction, the loss of life of civilians and soldiers? My father was a veteran and I know first hand that coming home alive may for many be just as devastating as if they had died on the battlefield. What is wrong with this woman?

Being Inspired by Others

Let's do better about being there for each other.



"Just Don't Wanna Know"

I hurt so many nights. Cried so many hours. Trying to make it right. Just didn't have the power. You ignored all of my tears. In hopes they'd disappear. I tried to let it show.

But I guess... you just don't wanna know

I came to you in love. I came to you in earnest. Could you possibly explain? Why the flames, why the furnace? Just needing to get it clear. I was hoping you would hear. I tried to let it go.

But I guess... you just don't wanna know.

Now it's true that God is always there. He said He'd never leave. But at times the human touch is what I need. And if I had a dime for every time I tried to call your name. Some tell me, I'd be wealthy.

But I learned that I could cope. I discovered I could make it. In nights so long and cold. So cold, you don't know how cold. I learned that I could take it. Now I wouldn't change a thing. Not for the knowledge, not for the knowledge that I've gained.

I learned that I could grow. I really did, I tried to let it show. I did. I tried to let it go.

But I guess... you just don't wanna know.

Being Pathetic

Here is Sarah Palin at the teabaggers' convention reading cheat notes written on her hand like an elementary school student. How pathetic! It's extraordinary that she would be paid six figures to read anything to anybody written anywhere, let alone on the palm of her hand.



Who would elect this pathetic politician to the presidency?
















Other pathetic people? I don't think Americans are largely pathetic.

Being Enthusiastic

A weatherman for AccuWeather.com loses it on television about
the impending snowstorm. This is so funny.

Being Humble

Practice humility. It both arms and disarms for the best results.

Being Republicans

Tom Tancredo, a former Republican Congressman and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, addressed the Tea Party Convention evoking racist ideology of a discriminatory voting record past. (I wonder how much he was paid? Palin is reported to be receiving six figures for her keynote address.) Tancredo links the heinous discriminatory past that prohibited African Americans from voting to our recent election via the large African American turnout in support of President Obama. Please note the laughter in the audience. Does anybody wonder about the efficacy of this movement?



TANCREDO: And then, something really odd happened, mostly because I think that we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in this country. People who could not even spell the word "vote," or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House, name is Barack Hussein Obama.

Who can honorably justify the Tea Party?
