It's official. That woman is just plain nuts. The trouble is that Sarah Palin is charming and funny enough, and interesting enough that it creates the seemingly perfect smoke screen to hide the fact that she is completely off the chain. Wanting to remove NPR? I'm practically speechless... (of course, that's virtually impossible for anyone who knows me). AND I would find a way to protect my freedom of speech even if I were to lose my tongue in a biting accident (you know, from like biting it way too much in an attempt to be civil).
Anyone with even a few brain cells left in their heads has got to realize that this is NOT in the best interest of Our Country 'tis of Pea-brained politicians.
To find out more, and make an informed choice, start here:
Or to contribute to the demise of our crumbling nation, do nothing (that seems to work). Don't read an accurate sourced article, don't bother with the New York Times, and don't question Fox News (or as I call them, Faux News). Just sit and do nothing. Nothing at all. Before you know it, we will all be spoon fed information that is packed with lies and chock full of propaganda.
In other words, speak now, or forever hold your peace, because eventually you won't have a choice.
All we need to do is pray for a miracle for the oil spill to magically stop spewing oil... well, for crying out loud, why didn't we all think of that? And we can all click our heels three times and say out loud "There's no oil spill. There's no oil spill. There's no oil spill."
I am not discounting that miracles can happen, nor am I disputing that they exist. What I am getting at here is that her suggestion or recommendation for praying for a miracle rings as hollow. It echos across the landscape of Palin's innumerable non-answers to important, valid questions. Searching for a sound answer to any meaningful question that has been posed to Sarah Palin is like looking through a childs viewfinder in search of evidence of life on Pluto. Here we are facing a HUGE eco-disaster, and she has not yet learned how to be taken seriously by actually doing some homework and contributing to a solution by delivering an informed possible solution.
The American public is sitting around an empty table of "What the hell should we do?????" With our napkins tied around our necks, fork and knife in pounding hands, we are demanding to have our plates filled with real solutions. Out she comes, donning her political apron, carrying a covered dish... she unveils it, and voila! It's empty. Not so much as a stale crust of manna from heaven, let alone a real meat & potatoes answer! Our stomachs are growling, and our minds are reeling. Hungry for a PLAN of ACTION. And, I for one, am not expecting it from her. What is on the menu at Madam Palin's house of lipstick coated lies is the same old, same old... nothing.
Here's a thought. Perhaps the answer to Palin's prayer is that BP comes up with and acts on a solution swiftly. I know, it's a stretch. Sometimes the answer to a prayer is appropriate action taken by the responsible party(s).
I have a new prayer. If she cannot conceivably come up with valuable input, my supplication is for Palin to simply shut up. (If only BP could come up with a contraption to force her to do so, but who knows how long that would take.) I am praying for a miracle right now... "Dear Lord, please find a way to stop the spill of crap spewing from Sarah Palin's mouth. Amen. P.S. Try to do it in a humanitarian way. I want to keep my karma balanced."
Seriously, when is she going to stop? As soon as her blind followers open their eyes and stop following her (whichever comes first), that's when! I would scream, but I don't want to waste my vocal cords on her. Instead I will risk developing tendon problems slamming away on my typewriter (keyboard - but typewriter sounds better in an Agatha Christie kind of way).
Sarah, oh ye of just plain stupid, when will you learn to do your homework before you open your mouth? The answer, I fear, is NEVER. In an apparent effort to jump on the anti-health care plan bandwagon, better known as the (take a deep breath) "we just have to find something to try to attack Obama about even if it means blaming him for problems that were in existence long before we even knew who Obama was, and quite possibly before he was even born, but we have to point the finger at him because we don't want to blame the blatantly obviously evil Dick Cheney, or the equally blatantly obviously a dumkopf, George W., and the rest of the guilty by association, because that could open a whole can of worms about republicans, and well, we are hoping that we republicans can regain power someday soon to perpetuate the self-serving propaganda furthering an ignorant caste system of a society in the name of capitalistic enslavement thinly disguised as a democracy.... bandwagon" (take another deep breath, and two aspirin), Madam Palin has once again proven that she is both shallow and vacant. Palin has just enough of a command of the english language to perk up the ears of would-be listeners, which is also just enough to be dangerous. Dangerously stupid that is. Both she, and her doppleganger, Michele Bachmann have nearly simultaneously, misspoken and misstated facts, and overstepped their bailiwick of knowledge, power, and understanding of the basics on a topic that is as complex as it is important - health care. In doing so, in the span of the last 2 years, they are both doing a remarkably grand job of derailing a half century of progress that women have made in the general political arena and the hard-won recognition as a strong socio-economic presence that women have achieved . They both need to go the way of whalebone corsets, and be referenced in museums as antiquated blips on the political radar screen, and defined in wikipedia as ornamentation that suffocates women under the guise of attractiveness.
My recommendation to Sarah Palin: Educate yourself. Read and study thoroughly those topics on which you dare to take a public stand. If you've got what it takes, for real, your stand would surely change, and your brazen statements would hold water. Other wise you may as well stand in front of the microphone and gargle... people can hear you making noise, but you are saying nothing. Please, in the name of humanity, stop saying empty things. Say something real, or just go away and cease making senseless noise.
Peace and Human Rights,

No more crap. No more crap. No more crap. The preferred mantra for politics in general, as I see it anyway. And, in this case, no more vague, superfluous crap answers from Sarah Palin. Please.
Sarah Palin running for office again? I can see it now... (Wayne's World "doodle-oo, doodle-oo" sound effects here)Palin and Dung 2012. 2012 being the number of times she will dodge a question in a single day. Or the number of times her hair tangles with her eyelashes in an hour during a tele-conference. Or the number of times a day that she waves 'hello' to her Russian neighbors. Who is this Dung, you ask? As in the proverbial "Who Flung Dung" as her running mate - virtually her right hand man! Palin'll be flingin' Dung around faster than sh#t hittin' the fan! Hey, she could quite possibly convince psuedo-liberals and conservatives alike that this "Dung" character is the Asian-American component on her ticket! (Howdya like them apples, first ever African-American first family!) When, in reality.... and here's a scary thought.... Dung is Bachmann... as in: (Twilight Zone music fades in) Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann 2012 (Twilight Zone music fades out). After all, Michele Bachmann's face is being flung about in political circles and the press like so much monkey crap at the zoo. And there is all this b.s. going around about how they both are so attractive. There might be a connection. You see how this could spiral out of control. If it looks like it might happen I will sell demonstration signs on my cafe press site.
Help support a middle-aged artist and writer today! Buy your magnets and buttons now, and begin the campaign against meaningless answers to meaningful (or at the very least, semi-meanignful) questions. Help prevent crap abuse and the squandering of manure. It could be a valuable and much needed alternative energy source...
Sarah Palin: Going Vogue.
Seriously... how much more do we, as a country, find it necessary to publicly demonstrate our overall "junior high" mentality when it comes to being more concerned with appearance than substance?! I have nothing against attractive people. I consider myself to be reasonably attractive. But I care MORE about what kind of person I am. And when it comes to politicians all I care about is their character make-up, integrity, intellect, and ability to assess situations and make wise, informed decisions.
The currently obsessive press coverage about how unbelievably good looking Barak Obama is, and how beautiful his wife, Michelle Obama, is, serves to clearly illustrate my point. He's our PRESIDENT not the homecoming king for Pete's sake. You would think that we have coast to coast trolls residing in our country and all previous presiders of this haven for hideous beasts known as the USA were Quasimoto impersonators to varying degrees of success with it. Like we have never seen a nice looking human being before! Let alone in office! (gasp, ooh, ahh) Is Barak Obama in charge of the United States or Project Runway? Are we actually on some kind of broad scale reality show rather than partaking in citizenship of a progressive nation? What's it called? Citizen Vain? Because if that's the case, I want to read my contract. I at least want royalties on syndication and merch! Our so-called journalism is starting to look like a hallway full of hormonal materialistic nitwits passing notes about who's the cutest kid in class and who lit the last match, signifying certain death in a house of ill repute. I can see it now, Meet the Press becomes TeenBeat by years end. And the jokers (with a few exceptions) running around at press conferences with cameras, pens, notepads, and recording devices are actually a bunch of second rate Sum Cum Loudmouth graduates from Clown College.
Again with the digressing! I can't help myself. I write how I think, and how I talk - usually. All this gawking and squawking about the physical beauty of our political leaders and wanna-be leaders has gotten out of hand. I would blame it on Hollywood, but it's we the people who buy into the hype. Hollywood is just a side-effect of the shallow-souled base that places more value on looks than heart/mind/soul. At least the aforementioned politicians don't look like they've had any 'work' done to look good. But you never know what tomorrow will bring. At the rate we're going, we'll be dubbed "The United States of Botox" before you know it. It's pathetic. Somebody please tell those idiots in showbiz " hey... pssst... we can tell when you have unnaturally inner-tube like inflated lips, implanted jawbones, and nips, tucks and drawstrings to hold your face up". You aren't fooling anybody. I suppose I am digressing again... but I make a necessary point. You see, it's all part of the materialistic narcissism running rampant in this huge dysfunctional family known as my country 'tis of thee. Who has the the coolest this, the newest that, the biggest bank account, the sexiest elbows, the whitest egads-where-are-my-sunglasses veneered grin has eclipsed the importance of the other part of the American Dream. The one that Martin Luther King so elegantly defined in his "I have a dream" speech. If he were here today he would likely bear the expression of Munch's "Scream" and be hellbent on pounding the pavement with a new and riveting lecture series entitled "Somebody Wake Me The Hell Up, I'm Having a Damn Nightmare".
Before I get off of my soapbox, a.k.a. "high horse"... I would be remiss if I did not go on record pointing a finger at professional sports and the music industry for their part in this sickness. Overindulgent, self-obsessed athletes and ego-maniacal music makers and moguls are both a cause and a symptom of the same social and moral disease plaguing this country that propels the looks of Sarah Palin ahead of the weight of her thoughts and words. Swine flu pandemic? This moral decay of epic proportions should be called the "Mine Flu".. it's all about I, Me, Mine... blah, blah, bling, bling... Where's the vaccine production on this one? Far, far behind the latest technology to make our exteriors outlast our insides, you can count on that.
Let's see, I think I have covered the basics. The media, the music industry, Hollywood, professional sports... and the suckers who buy into the unrealistic images thrust before us on a daily, if not minutely, basis.
WHICH brings me full circle... back to the topic at hand. The obsession with Sarah Palin's looks. Yes, it's true she is a very good looking woman. Her name may sound a bit like Sarah; Plain and Tall but she far from fits that kind of description. Sarah Palin is a really attractive person. Can we acknowledge it and MOVE ON! to what used to be known as the i.s.s.u.e.s.?
Note: I, myself, am guilty of using make-up, getting my hair highlighted, constantly dieting - the usual middle-classed, middle-aged, middle-amercan glamour treadmill. I also wear black quite often - it's slenderizing. And I shower. I remove body hair (namely mowing my legs and armpits, and tweezing rogue facial hair - mostly in the brow area). And I use cheap over the counter teeth whitener. And I take vitamins. So, in my own mainstream way, I am part of the problem I just blasted away about. I like to refer to my specific type of behavior where this is concerned as 'normal'. But that would still be denying the fact that I do try to 'enhance' my physical condition and appearance. They say admitting it is the first step... I'm just holding myself accountable.
I stand by my original complaint. Pay attention to what Sarah Palin is really talking about when it comes to politics, and less attention to what Sarah Palin is wearing or how shapely Sarah Palin's calves might be.
(I wonder what teeth whitener Sarah Palin uses?)
Hey! Buy my stuff, so I can buy more make-up. Maybe I can get enough money together to get the crease in my forehead botoxed... but the buck stops there. I promise. I'll buy groceries and renew the tags on my '93 Olds first. I have priorities. Click here to buy cool Palin Crapola gifts and help me pay for my ... er... tags on my car.

SARAH PALIN: Going Vague - Answering America's Questions... only not.
What do I have against Sarah Palin? Nothing personally. I just don't want her "runnin' " the country with non-answers (and no "g's").
Sporting night vision goggles wouldn't be enough to help Palin see and create a clear national vision with true depth. Perhaps it's those perpetual-bangs-in-her-eyes that are the real roadblock? Does that bug you, or is it just me? Does she use really sticky mascara that her hair gets stuck in? Does she wear sans lens prop glasses in order to appear smarter? The hollow frames thereby allowing those annoying tentacles of hair to seek out and cling to those sticky lashes? These are questions I ask myself when I see her on television. Are these seemingly small distractions part of the republican master plan? The schmooz rues? I mean, between the pretty face, malfunctioning eyewear, the blinking-batting eyes, those medusa-like tendrils of wandering locks that somehow succeed in achieving that "fun-hair-in-her-eyes" look, and that gosh-durned loveable Annie Oakley "g"-less lingo of hers, we just might not notice that Sarah Palin doesn't really 'answer' political questions.
When it comes to the real questions, Sarah Palin provides 'danswers' rather than answers. In other words, she responds to even the lightest political inquiries with vagueries and innuendo filled tapdances that are painfully obvious to the informed viewer. Sarah Palin: Going Rogue? The only thing going rogue with her life, besides that little varmint who impregnated her daughter, is her wild-ass bangs! Again, I digress...
Going Rogue has inspired me to create some products with just one of my kooky ideas. The real story? Sarah Palin: Going Vague.

Artist, writer and basically comfortable with myself. Raised 3 kids who aren' t criminally insane (I once put that on a resume - got the job). Love being a grandma, people say I don't look like one (hey, I made a quilt once, securing my spot in the grandma hall of fame). Enjoy a practical joke.
I'm a 'mogetarian'. ( (c) 1988 Sherri Faye All Rights Reserved ) A word I coined to describe my eating habits - MOSTLY vegetarian, some seafood or chicken, & annual homage to filet mignon. Confession: Quarterly I indulge in scarfing down a whole bag of cheetos. I swear, it's a weird kind of addiction, hence the need for a fix. My theory: a specific concoction of chemicals/preservatives manufactured many years ago in the original cheetos (shelf-life yet to expire) was designed to maintain a satisfactory trace level for approximately 12 weeks. Then BAM! I need my 'chemical-cheese' fix baaad, man! Find a cheetos pimp/dealer fast - Cub, Rainbow, or the gas station. I know, I know, it's a cross I bear. I have yet to find a 12 step program tailored to help with my addiction. And so, I press on...
It's official. That woman is just plain nuts. The trouble is that Sarah Palin is charming and funny enough, and interesting enough that it creates the seemingly perfect smoke screen to hide the fact that she is completely off the chain. Wanting to remove NPR? I'm practically speechless... (of course, that's virtually impossible for anyone who knows me). AND I would find a way to protect my freedom of speech even if I were to lose my tongue in a biting accident (you know, from like biting it way too much in an attempt to be civil).
