David Frum on a nation’s obsession with Sarah Palin.
“Imagine you’re at the circus. On the ground is a poodle performing a stunt. Above the clown’s head, dangling from a thin wire, is a piano. The piano is teetering, tottering, looking as if at any moment it might slip, crash to earth, and crush the dog. Impossible not to watch, right? And that’s the Palin show, only this time with the party of Lincoln as the little dog, and Sarah Palin as the piano.”
Good analogy. Hopefully the piano comes crashing down sooner rather than later. I never did like that obnoxious poodle.

Scientists say an entirely separate type of human identified from bones in Siberia co-existed and interbred with our own species.
The ancient humans have been dubbed Denisovans after the caves in Siberia where their remains were found.
There is also evidence that this group was widespread in Eurasia.
A study in Nature journal shows that Denisovans co-existed with Neanderthals and interbred with our species – perhaps around 50,000 years ago.
An international group of researchers sequenced a complete genome from one of the ancient hominins (human-like creatures), based on nuclear DNA extracted from a finger bone.
According to the researchers, this provides confirmation there were at least four distinct types of human in existence when anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) first left their African homeland.
For you young earth creationists out there, go ahead and ignore the entire story. It’s just more of that ungodly and overrated science stuff trying to mess with your heads.
Oprah Winfrey on why she’s not concerned about a Sarah Palin run at the presidency.
“It does not scare me because I believe in the intelligence of the American public.”
Really, Oprah? One word for you: Bush. He may have stolen the first one but he won his second term because there were enough fools out there willing to cast their vote for an inept, know-nothing simpleton with the awareness level of a dandelion.
That said, I’m not concerned about a Palin run either. I’m actually looking forward to it for reasons which have nothing to do with overestimating the intelligence of the electorate and everything to do with my love for satire.
It pains me to say that I have been unable to find the time to tune in to TLC’s Sarah Palin’s Alaska. There always seems to be something a bit more important to do with my Sunday nights (washing the kitchen floor, trimming the cat’s claws…you know, important stuff.) But from the looks of the following clip, I don’t think I’m missing a hell of a lot. NOVA this is not..
What’s particularly awesome about SPA is that each episode is obviously crafted around a “Sarah’s-Just-So-Darn-Great” arc followed swiftly by the brutal murder of various life-forms.
Poor Sarah. She’s getting hit harder by conservatives these days than she is by liberal pundits. This time it’s Ed Rollins, former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Ms. Palin, serious stuff needs to be accomplished in Washington.
If you want to be a player, go to school and learn the issues. Put smart people around you and listen to them. If you want to be taken seriously, be serious. You’ve already got your own forum. If you want to be a serious presidential candidate, get to work. If you want to be an imitator of Ronald Reagan, go learn something about him and respect his legacy.
If you want to be a gadfly, just keep doing what you’re doing.
Imagine the gall of Palin comparing herself to the greatest, most wonderful, caring, brilliant American ever to con impress a gazillion people with his “trickle down” sham gem. How dare she.
Are you starting to get the idea that there is real panic brewing from within conservative ranks with the growing possibility that Palin might actually pull it off and get the nomination? Great theater for the rest of us.
