Palin Brushing Up On Foreign Policy At Epcot

I read this over at the Onion and I just roared. Those dudes are just so very good at what they do. They are one of the few teams in humor that can get me to smile, and even laugh through my depression. Seriously, though, they always raise awareness of serious issues, like this incredibly frightening choice for leader of the free world, as that's what she'll be as soon as the psychopath kicks the bucket, which wouldn't be too long I think. Someone who is a hell of a lot more bone-headedly stupid (and mean) than that unfortunate teen beauty queen they're always mixing in on all those YouTube videos. Anyway, thanks Onion!

Palin Brushing Up On Foreign Policy At Epcot

September 29, 2008 | Issue 44•40

ORLANDO, FL—Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin sought to silence those who have criticized her lack of foreign affairs experience Tuesday by announcing plans for a weeklong, 10-nation tour of Walt Disney World's Epcot. According to Palin, the trip—her first past Frontierland—will include speaking engagements at Norway's famous Viking ride, sausages at Germany's Kaufhaus, and, time permitting, a fact-finding mission to Future World. "This ambitious trip should finally demonstrate that I am ready to assume the vice presidency, whether by standing in long lines at Morocco's Tangierine Café or by sitting down face-to-face with Mexico's Three Caballeros," Palin announced during a campaign stop outside a Chinese restaurant in Tulsa, OK. "All of our neighbors deserve good diplomacy, from the Universe of Energy down to the French pavilion." Palin also promised a visit to the American Adventure exhibit before returning home, adding that she hoped to learn more about her own nation and the diverse peoples within.

Sarah Palin's Book Club

Received in an email blast from a friend...

Let's spend a few moments browsing the list of books Mayor Sarah Palin tried to get town librarian Mary Ellen Baker to ban in the lovely, all-American town of Wasilla, Alaska. When Baker refused to remove the books from the shelves, Palin threatened to fire her. The story was reported in Time Magazine and the list comes from the librarian.net website.

Sarah Palin Champions Barbaric Aerial Hunting of Wolves

Too bad there's no way to shoot politicians and corrupt corporate and military types from planes.
