This must be some liberal smear.

Hockey moms don't lie.

True fact.

Pipelines + Alaska don't mix. If Palin's biggest achievement is failing on it, I consider it a win.

Well, then it's time to start banking on her second-biggest achievement: heading up the PTA in an intense lobby of the school board to change the soup on Fridays to minestrone.

That's change I can really believe in.

Two words: Larry Langford.

If you think Palin's overspending is ridiculous.

Is he running for VP?

Thank you Janice!!!!! EVERYONE knows that kids want minestrone on Fridays! Someone who finally understands us!!! (HE-HE-HE) I can't resist-Palin can't even lay pipe right,it's only on paper!!!! (HE-HE-HE!!!) They must be referring to the flag bikini,and semi-automatic pic of her. (Who says you can't be tough and sexy at the same time!) I said "LAY PIPE!" (HE-HE-HE!)

'Federal approvals are years away'??…Let's put the blame where it belongs, shall we! What that means is that our liberal democratic congress will drag their feet and will never pass legislation for the pipeline. For some reason democrats want to leave this country at foreign oil's mercy! Don't worry…John McCain will call them out and as he said, "You will know their names…you will know their names!" This point that you are trying to make only shows, yet again, how this democratic congress is a do nothing congress. They will soon realize that 'we the people' are the employers of them and they will have to start listening to us and let our country become energy independent.

That "selling-the-plane-on-ebay-being-her-idea" is also a load of crap. They also lost about 600 grand on the deal. Just another lying Republican piece of shit. I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for all Republicans. The only thing that is true that is being reported on her is that she has a knocked up 17 year old whore daughter.

actually sue, the "federal approvals" would come from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, not congress.

From their website:

"The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is composed of up to five commissioners who are appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate."

like I tell the other republican knuckleheads on here (disclaimer: I do not think ALL republicans are knuckleheads), EDUCATE YOURSELF.

L, OK no, but I won't be surprised if he tries. he's about to bankrupt the county that Birmingham is in… and he just got his Dome Stadium building approved. I ask you, can you think of any Birmingham sports team? No. No, neither can we.

Sorry I'm just pissed at that guy this week.

Sue–Why do you think a pipeline will lower your gas prices or do anything to help us with our foreign oil troubles? Do you have any idea how long it would take to drill? To actually get oil? It would do NOTHING for like 15 years. In the meantime, McCain has no plan for renewable energy sources and Obama does.

McCain has no short-term answers and will push forward blindly until our oil is depleted, ANWR is destroyed (That's the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge if you're bad with acronyms. That's right, an effing wildlife refuge that's more beautiful than you can ever imagine, if you've never seen it), and your gas prices continue to rise.

And here I was thinking the only one laying pipe that mattered was Levi Johnston.

HAY

OOOOOO

Oh snap, say what?! You mean sue was laying unresearched blame (and ignoring that one can be waiting for approval and not put all one's eggs in said basket or cry "Mission Accomplished" when little has been done)? Big surprise!

To add to the mendacity:
She supported the Ted Stevens Bridge and told Alaskans it was an insult to call it "the bridge to nowhere," then nixed the project and called it "the bridge to nowhere" at the Repub convention.
She crows about taking a pay cut but has claimed 312 days in per diems in 19 months for time spent at home. Some fiscal conservative. Some reformer.

It would be nice to see more examples of Palin mendacity added to the list here. :-)

And the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom? Pit bulls spit it out, hockey moms swallow.

Everytime I hear repubs (or anyone for that matter) say that we should drill, I wonder why they assume that we would get the oil. Our oil, like any other, has to go on the common market. The oil we drill could very well end up in China or Russia or whatever. It all a matter of who bids the most.

she's kind of entertaining as long as she doesn't win. can we get a sex tape or somethin?

killorn that was AWESOME! it did not go unnoticed by me.

I was starting to question my ba dum cchh factor.

Uh oh Milly, I thought you loved Spiedi, known McCain supporters?

Another reason to love MG commenters: this is day #2 in a row in which I had to consult http://www.m-w.com to understand a post. Today's winner is Run-DMS and "mendacity."

Mendacity was part of the title of the post …

Ehh, it is 4PM and I am drunk. You and your logic Alice.

Well, you gotta have a hobby. You drink and I'll cover the logistics.

I hated that "zinger" she gave about the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom. It makes no sense, is she saying hockey moms are dogs? Owned by gang bangers? I don't get it at all.

I think she's saying the she'll rip our arms off with her teeth. That's the only logical answer.

Ha! A guy that works with my friend rescued a pit bull off the street and the dog ATE their cat. I don't know what this has to do with anything but I've been traumatized by it - I think pit bulls are mostly cute and then I'm like no, no, they're cat eaters!

Shit. I would rip the dog open and retrieve my cat. No one messes with my cats. Not even my dog. But she's s very mellow border collie.

sad! i agree about the lipstick joke too. i heard myself giggle but then i thought, NOT COOL.

I probably would have to be in a mental institution if a dog ate my cat. My cat is definitely at the status of Goddess in our house. One touch from her paw makes all the bad thoughts and stresses of the world go away.

My two girls, Klaam and Tchz (pronounced clam and cheese), rule our house. Our dog just happens to live here. And all of them was to eat their little brother, Greg House D.H.M. (doctor of hamster medicine), our sweet beige hamster.

I don't think I'm reading your post right, one of them ate your hamster? Awesome pet names, by the way.

No no .. I meant to say that all of them want to eat him. They can't because he lives in an awesome little space pod.

I wouldn't put it past her, Killorn …

That hamster pod is awesome.

And here are my other peeps.

Alice, your critters are SO CUTE!

I wish I could have that many pets - I have ridiculous allergies and I have to get stupid allergy shots for the one cat I do have. I have one cat, one husband, and a sock monkey.

Thank you! I love my kids. They make life tolerable.

You know, I have cat allegies myself. When ever I get even the slightest scratch from them, it'll swell up like a little balloon. I just can't part with them. They make me too happy.

I love how this post has just turned into a conversation about pets. Pets rule!

That's the fluid natute of the interwebs. It becomes whatever we want.

Is #8 Milly the same one who loves Speidi? Because if so, I'm terribly confused.

I <3 your animals Alice! How does Greg House get out of his observation deck? Does he just slide down and hit his head? Or is this hamster like the mountain goat of hamsters? It looks steep. Also, I want to hug him.
