Memo To Dick Cheney

Dear Dick,

Just a helpful hint. You’re showing an alarming increase in the symptoms of an ugly and serious condition. It’s called:

“Cheney Derangement Syndrome”

The good news here? If you’re hasty and stop dithering around, it’s easily treatable:

SHUT UP!!

And She Couldn’t See Cuba From Her House Either!

Brand new Obama nominee to the Broadcasting Board of Governors Dana Perino is not happy that Sarah Palin has stolen her idiot crown, and she wants it back. Perino has jumped back into the spotlight of the dumb in an attempt to position herself as the official “dimmest of the bulbs” with this brilliant statement:

“We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.”

Oh Dana, how we’ve not missed you. Where have you been? Wait, wait! Don’t Tell Me! Unemployed?

Sarah Palin: Blame Canada!

Canadian comedian Mary Walsh went to a Sarah Palin “Going Rogue” book signing in Columbus, Ohio last week and managed to ask Palin a question, and she got a classic robotic Palin response, with a twist.

Walsh asked her “if she had any words of encouragement for the Canadian conservatives who have worked so hard to try to diminish that kind of socialized medicine we have up there?” Palin answered:

PALIN: Well, my answer was too keep the faith. My answer was to keep the faith. Cause that common sense conservatism can be plugged-in there in Canada too. In fact Canada needs to reform its health care system and let the private sector take over some of what the government has absorbed. So thank you, keep the faith.

Yes, Palin can see the wreckage left behind Canada’s socialized medicine from her mansion on the lake.

Palin Makes Fort Bragg A Political Event

Sarah Palin today in Fort Bragg:

Palin’s appearance tested Department of Defense regulations, which prohibit politicians from using installations as a platform. Palin didn’t give a speech and individually thanked soldiers, and a base spokesman said she was not campaigning.

But the bus parked nearby encouraged donations to her political action committee and supporters made clear that she should run for president.

Army officials initially barred media from the event, fearing coverage would lead Palin’s backers to lob negative comments at President Barack Obama. The military later relented and allowed media access. (The Huffington Post)

So, she did take donations to her political action committee.

Maybe she didn’t speak, but she had her father along and he did express his feelings for her:

Palin’s father, who greeted supporters as his daughter signed copies of the book, said in an interview that Obama’s handling of the military was “scary.”

“I see a decline in our might,” Chuck Heath said. “People used to be afraid of us and respect us, (but) they’re not afraid of us and don’t respect us anymore.”

Her father spoke out against the President, and implied that our military is weak. What exactly is he saying Obama has done to weaken our military? Apparently Palin’s father has “gone rogue” as well and spews empty statements around just as his daughter does.

Palin also made a “statement” on her Facebook page before her stop at Fort Bragg to express many of the same views and more.

She is turning these stops into political events, and since she can’t keep politics out of her book signings, she should not be allowed to go to Fort Hood.

Why Is Palin Getting A Military Pass?

The Obama Administration allowing Sarah Palin on two Army bases to sign her book on Monday and in early December nearly rivals the fiasco they created in setting up Air Force One for publicity photos in a low-level swoop over New York City a few months back, scaring the crap out of people on the ground and costing thousands in fuel and other costs.

After all, post 9/11 security remains so strict at other bases that combat veterans, military veterans and taxpayers are not allowed on numerous military bases to visit the military museums there.

If you are don’t have current military identification, or know a person who’s a Department of Defense card holder, you don’t get on McChord AIr Force Base in Washington, which is adjacent to the Army’s Fort Lewis.

So will Palin’s public go through the same rigid requirements on Monday? Stay tuned.

So far, Palin book sales in the bedrock North Carolina military community have not been stellar, according to local news agencies.

Palin Books Would Make Great Firewood?

Oh dear. It seems another Sarah Palin book signing didn’t go well according to her Facebook “fans”, this time in Rochester, NY:

Jon – Extremely disappointed, Governor. After being told that 1000 bracelets were being given out in Rochester, we waited in hopes to get a book and meet you even for a brief moment. Several people counted down the line and each time we were around 700 – 750. After 4 hours in typical 43 degree Rochester weather, we were told that all the bracelets had been given away and we never got an answer as to how many were actually handed out (we’re assuming 500). I hope that the “confusion” gets sorted out between your people and the folks running the tour, and I would hope that you find some way to appease the many supporters you had that were also disappointed today.

And it’s only the seventh stop on the tour. I wonder if people waiting in lines will simply start burning their copies for warmth?

Here’s another one, short and to the point:

Tim – You blow goats

Followed by:

James –  You are quite possibly the dumbest human being that God ever made the mistake of putting into his beautiful creation. Go away, please.
~A disenfranchised Libertarian patriotic American who wants America to be great

Edward Sarah. You have zero qualifications for being an author or a decent politician. You showed your true colors when you quit your elected position. You’re just another slimy, hide behind the flag, prey on special needs, dirt bag of a person. Stop embarassing your family, yourself, and this great nation.

Me thinks she may wrap this tour up early……….

Cancer Screening: No Changes For Men?

This past week, while the health care reform bills were being debated in Congress, it seemed oddly coincidental to me that new recommendations for cancer screening started to come out. First it was breast cancer screening recommendations changing the age when women should start getting mammograms. Then Friday it was cervical cancer and changes to annual pap smears at age 21.

It’s no secret that health care costs are much higher for women than men, but still, I have to wonder. Has anyone else noticed that there have been no new “recommendations” for, say prostate cancer screening? As far as I know, there have been no men’s health recommendations even spoken of during all this controversy.

Just sayin.’
