I'm looking forward to meeting Joe Biden. I've been hearing about him since the second grade.

Of course, Karl Rove told her to say this.

Particularly funny given the age of her running mate, when did she hear of John McCain? The snark in me thinks, not before June 2008. ;)

The snark in you makes a very funny observation. :D

And he's looking forward to meeting you, Palin. Of that I am super sure.

Aren't we all...aren't we all?

I'm popping a big bowl of Orville Redenbacher's. :D

Um.... Why would a second grader in Alaska have heard about a (very) Jr Senator from Delaware?

Oh, don't be silly. Palin is just trying to audition for her role as a member of the SNL cast.

Because being up to date on current events has been a passion of hers since she was a young girl. :p

Viral Email raises money for Planned Parenthood in the name of Sarah Palin.

Quote:

An anonymous viral e-mail is circulating nationwide asking people to donate to Planned Parenthood in the name of Sarah Palin. When donors do so, Planned Parenthood sends Palin a thank-you card informing her that donation has been made in her honor.

Quote:

Dear Friends:
We may have thought we wanted a woman on a national political ticket, but the joke has really been on us, hasn't it? Are you as sick in your stomach as I am at the thought of Sarah Palin as Vice President of the United States?

Since Palin gave her speech accepting the Republican nomination for the vice presidency, Barack Obama's campaign has raised more than $10 million dollars. Some of you may already be supporting the Obama campaign financially. None of you, however, can be happy with Palin's selection, especially because of her position on women's issues. So, may I suggest the following fiendishly brilliant alternative?

Make a donation to Planned Parenthood. In Sarah Palin's name. And here's the good part: When you make a donation to Planned Parenthood in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor.

Cut and paste to the Planned Parenthood website: www.plannedparenthood.org.
You'll need to fill in the address to let Planned Parenthood know where to send the 'in Sarah Palin's honor' card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:
McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington, VA 22202
Feel free to send this along to all your friends and urge them to do the same.

Diagraming the Sentences of Sarah Palin.

In conclusion....

Quote:

In a few short weeks, Sarah Palin has produced enough poppycock to keep parsers and diagrammers busy for a long time. In the end, though, out of her mass of verbiage in the Sean Hannity interview, Palin did manage to emit a perfectly lucid diagram-ready statement that sums up, albeit modestly, not the state of the economy that she was (more or less) talking about but the quality of her thinking:

An exchange from the most recent Palin-Couric exchange:

Quote:

COURIC (to Palin): Do you think there's an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution?
PALIN: I do. Yeah, I do.
COURIC: The cornerstone of Roe v Wade.
PALIN: I do. And I believe that --individual states can handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in in an issue like that.
