— Open Blogger Sarah Palin's Thanksgiving Day Message
My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…
Despite my occassional criticism of her this why I love Sarah. Let the press beat up on you a little then stuff it back in their faces.
A valuable life lesson - Call the Better Business Bureau not the police
The next time Ryan McNames wants to lodge a consumer complaint, heÂ’ll know better than to call the Columbia Police Department.The Missouri man, 19, dialed cops Saturday night to report that he paid $60 to a pair of prostitutes to perform sexual acts for him.
...
He also requested that officers contact the woman who did not fellate him and “get $40 of his money back,” police reported.
This woman needs to be beaten with a sockful of batteries
For breakfast, I usually have a cappuccino—espresso made in an Alessi pot and mixed with organic milk, which has been gently heated and hand-fluffed by my husband. I eat two slices of imported cheese—Dutch Parrano, the label says, “the hippest cheese in New York” (no joke)—on homemade bread with butter. I am what you might call a food snob. My nutritionist neighbor drinks a protein shake while her 5-year-old son eats quinoa porridge sweetened with applesauce and laced with kale flakes. She is what you might call a health nut. On a recent morning, my neighbor’s friend Alexandra Ferguson sipped politically correct Nicaraguan coffee in her comfy kitchen while her two young boys chose from among an assortment of organic cereals. As we sat, the six chickens Ferguson and her husband, Dave, keep for eggs in a backyard coop peered indoors from the stoop. The Fergusons are known as locavores.
I don't really know what else to say except get over yourself lady. Yes, you make some points about food insecurity but even those are pretensious twaddle. If you really want to make a difference donate to a food bank.
That's it for tonight. It's a holiday so have fun enjoy the family (speaking of which the al-Jazeera correspondent I was supposed to be supping with cancelled, so I am truly thankful.) So thankful that I will skip mentioning that the Army of Morons World of Warcraft guild is still recruiting on the Hellscream US server.
Edit: spelling correction made in title.

She left out the "my Muslim faith" bit and the "10,000 dead" too. She has to save some material for future 'Cuda attacks.
If you go read it at her FB page she's got links to Youtube vids of all the gaffes. She also links to Shep Smith's blowjob gaffe from a few years back because Shep was attacking her too.

Gwen: Looks like Sarah Palin made a bunch of mistakes in the first paragraph on her most recent Face Book entry.
Um, ah Gwen it actually was a bit of parody using Mr. Obama's exact words.

Food insecurity is especially high in households headed by a single mother. It is most severe in the South, and in big cities.
Much like Pepper Brooks, I feel shocked!
Or not so much....
Posted by: Delta Smelt at November 25, 2010 06:41 PM (AZWim)
Back when I was making almost nothing as a college student, I could somehow always afford enough nutritious food to get by. No organic, no imported, no hip food. But enough calories and nutrients to not starve...
Yes, some people can't easily get to a grocery store in the inner cities...but as I pointed out above maybe this is a problem with clustering them in cities to begin with?!?

I have a few questions for you guys.
Do you think it's inappropriate for someone over the age of 22 to have a video game consol? Keep in mind I don't have kids.
Also, what's better? PS3 or Xbox360. PS3 is much more expensive.
I'm torn. The games look so f'ing sweet, but I can't bring myself to spend a few hundred buck on a system. Also I can't justify someone my age playing video games.
thoughts?

the funniest part is - she realizes that by buying overpriced organic food, she is stimulating demand for that food - but she's probably one of those libtards who thinks that you don't give "tax cuts to the rich" because they will just take that money and stuff it in their mattresses or something

Thank God we have another supersmart Democratic administration overseeing our foreign policy!

Damn right ! These people are a fuckin' plague upon the earth .
This coming from someone like me , a real locavore , or as much as one can be in these United States . Wife's chicken flock provided the numerous eggs involved in the feast , the star of the meal was "harvested" about 270 yds from my back door. He was really reluctant to parcipitate too . Damn gobbler was flaunting himself with a bunch of hens for two weeks in my neighbors field before he'd finally come to my calls at a reasonable shotgun range . The sausage in the dressing was killed about 200 yds from same back door .
If , god forbid , a total collapse ever occurs , I'm going to keep a couple of over educated urban metrosexuals around to do simple chores . Nothing of real import, just wood cutting , garden weeding , things of that nature , as it's obvious they can't be trusted to do skilled tasks .I'll have my ten yr. old keep an eye on 'em, you know , tell 'em when to come in out of the rain , take a bath , tie their shoes , that kind of stuff .

xbox360.
And pat yourself on the head for not even including the Wii in it.
(also do you play multiplayer games, if so 360 hands down)
Yeah, wii is great, but it is targeted for like 5-13 year olds.
The last consol I has was PS2, which was great. PS3 is 100 bucks more than xbox 360, but i think they have all the same games.
Does xbox 360 have bluray?

Incidentally, I don't understand how cooking at home and shopping can be more expensive than fast food. I've always eaten well and for less when I could cook for myself, and this was using nothing but the local supermarket.
Of course, from a young age, my parents required my sister and I to help in the kitchen, and mom often left $20 on the counter and a note that said "Working late, it's Fend For Yourself Night".

Do I have to admit to this? Heh.
Actually in my Madden heyday, with online competition, I spent many a night up til 3 in the morning playing.
Still, WoW is in it's own league and 19 hours a day is way over the top.

I was just looking for extra reasons to justify it. I can't see myself spending 400+ bucks for just a consol.

Do I have to admit to this? Heh.
Actually in my Madden heyday, with online competition, I spent many a night up til 3 in the morning playing.
Still, WoW is in it's own league and 19 hours a day is way over the top.

--I remember one night at about 1 A.M. when my roommates wanted to drag me out of bed to play my next game, which was head-to-head, so the season could go on. If it had just been against the computer I would have done it but I was too fried to play a roommate.

It was actually kind of funny when it all got sorted out. The biggest thing is Eldest Daughter thought someone was messing with her little brother and was going to go ballistic about it. She called her brother and told him something funny was going on and he said he had given his new girlfriend her number, so she got mad about him giving her number out.

the Wii is for people who want to play games but who aren't "gamers".
I don't know how you all can manage 12+ buttons at once with only 2 hands using all of those sooper-sekrit combo moves in your games.
with a Wii you don't need those stupid combo things, because the moves are actually intuitive

My uncle told me that several of his friends took a pregnant woman with them Black Friday shopping, thinking that people wouldn't jostle an expecting woman and that maybe they'd could curry some sympathy during their travels. Alas, this assessment was incorrect.
I went Black Friday shopping once, a long time ago. Never again. I hope nobody dies this year in the Black Friday shopping chaos.

I have never received independent confirmation of this story, so I still claim it is a fabrication. "Pics or it didn't happen" and all that, .
My mom has pics from my 1st b-day, and it appears I was absolutely fascinated by the wrapping paper and bows. "Pretty colors!"

Agreed. The next time Kim Jong Ill tries anything, anything at all, we should kill him, his family, and all of his top military generals and their families. They should be the ones who suffer, not the brainwashed commoners. Then the pimple on the ass of the world known as North Korea may have a chance to be excised and cleansed.
China won't allow it, of course. Any war between the Koreas will most likely end up in victory for the South, albeit a costly victory. Millions of refuges will flee into China. Also, China prefers a divided Korea for historical reasons.

Happy Thanksgiving...Moronettes and Morons.
Mrs. Mallamutt and the 2 girls are going out in a few hours for Black Friday shopping. The 12 year old son and I will do our Christmas shopping the way God intended men to do their Christmas shopping....at 5:00 p.m. Christmas Eve.
Carry on.

Your best bet is probably to look for deals for games and not specifically StarCraft 2. I think some stores are doing "buy 1 game get a second for $5" so you know if you have to get another game gift go that route or get yourself something.

What we need is for some sort of cruise missile or rocket to come in over the Yalu river and score a direct hit on the NoKo Military HQ, after which we can jump in alarm and exclaim, "What the fuck was that?!??!?"
It goes without saying that none of the recoverable components should source to the US or South Korea.

I cover mine with a clear vinyl sheeting. It comes in 36" and 48" rolls 25' long. Put it up with wood lath and a staple gun. Do it inside and out, and there is no "puffing." Creates a dead air space, which is a great natural insulator. Come spring, I take the outside off and on the inside I just take it loose at the bottom, roll it up to about halfway to the top of the window and tack it in place. That way I can open windows for a breeze in the warm weather and recovering the inside is quick and easy the next winter. The stuff is 4 mil, so it is pretty durable and lasts for several seasons.
It is also as clear as looking through glass. Great stuff.

This season the Saints have in large part reverted back to the good old 'Aints I remember from childhood. Guess it's time to get the exorcists back out to the Superdome, though at least this was an away game.
Kids, just a tip here; don't build your sports stadiums on top of old yellow-fever cemeteries.

Yeah, they also have the Vikes but both that game and the Lions are on the road. And yes, the rest of the sched is pretty tough as well.
Kratos, njc's happiness may be short-lived.
I'm a Colts fan, and their remaining schedule is so-so, but they are so beat up with injuries I'm surprised they've won as many games as they have.

You can't eat the turkey and watch football at the same time?
If it's a small group, as it was this year, sis inisists that we all sit at the table. But if we have a large group, then we have to disperse a little bit.
That's when all we football watchers say, "Hey, let the kids sit at the grown-up table for Thanksgiving. They'll get a kick out of it."
And we load up our plates and head for the tv trays in front of the tube.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and not those horrid ordeals described in the horror post yesterday. I had a beautiful day with an orgy of eating.
My day was estimated at 3300 calories. With 660 mg of cholesterol. I say estimated because I didn't have my scales to weigh out portions with, and of course I would never "fudge" those estimates. Especially not when we had a fudge cobbler topped with hi-test ice cream for desert.
Posted by: Vic at November 26, 2010 03:11 AM (e4sSD)
What pisses me off is that release from the FDA:
According to data released last week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 17 percent of Americans—more than 50 million people—live in households that are “food insecure,” a term that means a family sometimes runs out of money to buy food, or it sometimes runs out of food before it can get more money.
So we have a new stupid libtard commie term "food insecure". Having the FDA come up with "data" like this is tantamount to having a used car lot releasing data through its "salesmen" representatives about people who are "travel insecure". All we need is a borderline criminal with a low IQ in a plaid suit telling us we need more government supplied pre-owned vehicles because this poor drug addled bum laying in the gutter at the corner of Archer and Taylor Ave doesn't have a car.
Of course this woman would help that drug addled bum by buying a BWM without a sun roof at the same time she screamed for the government to provide free bus rides for the bum so he travel back and forth from the shelter to the alleys where he can score his hit for the day.
The truth is that there is absolutely no reason for any child in the United States to be hungry. The welfare program in the U.S. has once again expanded beyond all measure. This time in the name of "the children". We have seen stories of welfare moms scoring $80,000 a year in direct payments and then added food coupons to support hordes of illegitmate children.
The United States (and possibly the U.K.) are the only countries in the world where poor "hungry" children are more in danger from diseases like diabetes due solely to the fact that they are morbidly obese. Contrary to what the lying scrunts say nutritious food is NOT expensive. The U.S. has the cheapest groceries on earth when compared to available income. These poor overweight "food insecure" people are that way because the "mothers" are lazy and uneducated (because they were lazy).
Again, the solution to this problem. NEVER vote for a Democrat or a RINO ever again.

Quinoa porridge and kale flakes...that sounds really tasty; there's a kid who's going to grow into an angry adult. And what the hell is so special about Nicaraguan coffee?
I also notice these precious, wealthy bastards can keep chickens and whatnot to keep up with their affectations...but the working and lower middle class, even in rural towns, cannot, because of zoning ordanances and animal keeping regulations. Yes, I just did the class warfare thing by calling these cats "wealthy bastards", won't take it back (because they are; let's face it: these people make a lot more money than most; they can afford freaking Danish cheese for God's sake -- and they vote just as "preciously" as they eat, which ruins the rest of the country...they are the "rich" I'd loved to see taxed into ruin -- and by the way: while they are usually brand D there are a lot of brand R who are of the same ilk; I could care less about them).

609 I said "seriously"...and somehow I am doubting it brevity of your explanation
Perhaps I asked incorrectly, because fluffed (manual or otherwise) coffee beverages seem a bit odd to me.
And Vic's right: but I'll qualify it -- food prices are going through the roof, but whenever anyone brings up the idea of allowing just plain folks to keep gardens or some chickens (you know, be self sufficient), it's people exactly like these fluffed coffee drinkers that put the kibosh on it -- damages their property values, and the animals may not be kept the way they (and HSUS) approve of...and well, it damages their property prices (yeah, I've had run ins with them).
And the day may be quickly coming where those gardens and chickens are going to be needed, when the poor really aren't all that fat.

612 To be fair, my chickens would hop up and peek in the window at feeding time; peck on it and cluck if you were running late. They can be fairly nice pets; well, the few you allow to be, the rest get eaten when they lose egg production value. As for the poop...well, theirs, if they are chickens being taken care of decently, is no more dangerous than the dog shit you see on the streets, and it composts well for the garden, unlike dog shit (eww, nasty). Plus you just keep it picked up -- manure fork, muck bucket...hand to kids, tell them to earn their keep...no problems
Yeah, I liked my chickens (when I was allowed to keep them -- zoning ordanances got me last year, no more goats, no more chickens, had to move my horses to a rented place -- actually my military serving kids...I had to sell all but my old show horse, now the younger kids' lesson pony, to afford the move).

617 Those are exactly the people I'm talking about.

I have noticed that the granola munchers do tend to vote D and identify as liberal, but the other ones tend to vote R and identify as conservative.
I prefer to call them both assholes, and think they are ruining our country -- because each in his/her own way wants the world to run according to how they decree...and they want to get a cookie for just being so wonderful.

Sorry for the late response. I have been working a different computer upstairs (complete fail).
In any case that story was linked in one of the threads on here a few days ago. I believe it was the "Monty Gloom and Doom" replacement thread.
Anyway it linked to another site which provided a chart from various income levels vs taxes and benefits you could get. That site in turn referenced back to one of the alphabet soup of federal agencies.
