Sarah Palin as seen by:
The Times on Palin in Michigan and Indiana, but no mention of her ditching her fans in Indiana
Palin did manage to find time to ditch some fans yesterday so she could rip on the Senate healthcare vote in which her side has been winning on points but simply cannot stop fuliminating long enough to accept the trophy campaign funds for keeping health insurance in the corrupt hands of the private sector and overpaid executives.

Starting with the premise that if you’re American, you’ve got biases, offends you know who.
I’m sure there are a few bias-free Americans, but the author of this twaddle is obviously not one of them. Another ode on the blackness of kettles as delivered to the National Association of Pot Makers by the Strib’s very own Katherine Kersten.
I did a wordle, but it was as boring as the original material.

While everyone was focuses on their buttinskiism on abortion, the Catholic bishops also rubbed themselves up against the dying.
They are the boss of you, and no, you don’t get a vote on that.
And if you argue with them, they’ll bar you from receiving communion, like the right reverend Thomas Tobin, Bishop of Providence, just did to Rep. Patrick Kennedy. Bishop Tobin rails against public officials in the name of Jesus, but even after wasting half an hour googling I could not find one utterance from him against war, although he was quick to let Kennedy know that He (the Bishop) knows God’s will better than Kennedy does. Even though you would go insane trying to find any proof* that the Holy Roman Catholic Church ever gave a shit about abortion prior to reinventing themselves in the mid 19th Century.
Why would anyone who claims to love God be a Catholic?

Too many fucking Christmas stories already. This year lobby not to exchange gifts unless they’re handmade by the giver.
This holiday has nothing to do with the religion, it teaches all the wrong values, and more and more the corporations have turned it into such a festival of greed and overeating I really don’t know how any families survive the orgiastic excess.

There is a point at which unions lose my support, and that comes when the union becomes more important than the work.
Professions shouldn’t be unionized. Yes, professionals need protection too, but what’s wrong with reviving guilds? Guilds take quality seriously, and speak to the need for higher standards.
Making everything be about your paycheck isn’t the only reason we have unions, but for some I guess it’s enough.

Astonishing:
What the press is up against? Unless only 20% of Americans read newspapers, it seems that the press hasn’t been doing a very good job of explaining to their readers just who exactly is running this country.

Politifact’s biggest lie to date:
1). Joe Lieberman says, “If you look at last year’s presidential campaign, ‘you can’t find a mention of public option.’”
2). Politifact headlines that as “The public option was not discussed much during the campaign.”
3.) Lieberman says it wasn’t discussed, Politifact changes that to “not discussed much” and then says Lieberman is mostly right.
4.) Obama did discuss the public option on more than one occasion in 2008.
5.) Joe Lieberman is a liar.
6.) Politifact is not a factchecker so much as a message parlor for the establishment.
7.) Fuck Politifact. I’ve just taken them off my RSS feed and am never going to bother with their corrupt hogwash again. Getting half of them right isn’t a good record for factcheckers.

And yes, that’s the least Sunday morningish music video ever, but not bad for watching football to.
