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

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

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.

I'm so excited about tomorrow.

Indeed. It is a global world. I find all of this amusing, because the European housing and credit markets are in largely the same condition. In fact, I beleive we're going to be getting healthier long before they do, as is evidenced by the amazing surge recently of the dollar against the Euro. If Americans are paying the price for their pride (which is not all together untrue), what are the Europeans paying the price for as they experience much of the same?

I am most certainly not an isolationist, and to call me such is rather ignorant of my views that have been clearly stated over the years on this board because I have always supported US influence in the rest of the world. I am pro NAFTA, pro Gulf War I and II, pro free trade (NAFTA being north American only I am listing this separately), pro Israel, pro NATO, Russian expansionist aims concern me....I could go on and on and on.

I make NO apologies for not being concerned about what "Gaston thinks in Paree" when they have so many bass ackwards policies there, which if I am critical of I seem to be a target of ridicule and accused of being too nationalistic....yet criticism of American problems (when a large portion of the free world is experiencing the same thing) is gospel when coming from Gaston.

No apologies whatsoever. What the rest of the world thinks is not what concerns me overall, because I think the rest of the world is more often than not screwed up in their thinking.

innerSpaceman · 10-02-2008, 07:41 AM

But there you go again, scaeagles. Trying to excuse the problems of the United States by crying to mommy, "but Europe did it, too."

For all you know, "Gaston" could go on in the next sentence to ridicule Algeria, Japan, Malaysia and then his native France. But it doesn't matter if he does or not. If everyone is a thief and a liar, does that make it ok for me to be a thief and a liar??

scaeagles · 10-02-2008, 08:12 AM

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

In my post there is NOTHING about excusing the US at present, nor have I portrayed it as such. I am simply saying that their criticism of the US in this current fiscal crisis is laughable when they are experiencing their own crisis in the same financial markets.

We have problems of our own making. Europe has problems, too. So I am to take the criticism of Europe seriously when they have the exact same thing going on? NO WHERE did I justify ANYTHING going on. I'm laughing at the criticism from them because of it.

I did not say our problems are excusable because of their problems. I said their criticism of our problems is laughable because of their own.
