I can't stop reading about Teabagger craziness, though it's making my head explode. And serious-fucking-ly, Sarah Palin?

Hey, if tapping into those fears worked to get a triumph of mediocrity into a MA senate seat, why not?

I'm tempted to boycott the Discovery Channel, as they have signed her up for a multi-episode reality show called Sarah Palin's Alaska.

This is funny because I had just recently started to rewatch my conservative friend on FB, who I quickly had to stop watching because he posted stuff like this: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-bozell/2010/03/24/bozell-column-tainting-tea-party

I made a comment that he hasn't responded to about how both the left and right make a lot of hyperbolic accusations and that an article pointing fingers at the left does not help prevent that behavior. *sigh*

yep, Discovery is now banned...what are they thinking?

im so pissed at what Brown did to Maddow that i want to move back to Boston just to vote his ass out in 2012.....

Palin, if she does some sort of reality show, maybe it will be her final downfall...most of those reality shows wind up making people look even worse....i certainly wont be even giving 1 second to watching it, but it will give all the comedy shows and 30 Rock just more material to work with....im curious, if Tina Fey and Palin went up against each other in an election, what would be the final outcome?

I'm just realizing that there's no real reason to associate with people based solely on their world views.

Against gay marriage? Not my friend.
Anti-Choice?*? Not my friend.
Involved in the Tea Party movement? Not my friend.

I cut a person off facebook solely for being a fan of Palin.


*this is NOT the same thing as being pro-life. I've come to solid grips with the pro-life movement. We're cool. The 59,000 nuns who signed that petition for healthcare reform because giving insurance to pregnant women being the real pro-life stance? LOVE THEM and their bad selves.

I had the pleasure of talking Obama healthcare plan with a couple of old blue collar workers in a bar last weekend - their main gripes were illegal immigrants getting healthcare and further loving their free ride in america and the government 'death' panels deciding that operations for old dudes are not worth it and its cheaper to deny coverage. I had my few minutes of talking to them about the fact emergency rooms are obligated to serve illegals anyway and how we save money by providing insurance for regular doctors visits to prevent costly er visits and how could they possibly trust the government less than private healht insurance companies who'll cut off your coverage in a second if you suddenly need expensive procedures (looking for lies on your application, preexisting conditions, ANYTHING to deny deny deny). Anyhow, not my best debate day (i.e. not attaching the untruths of their premises) though I did get called a bleeding heart.
