hey, what’s with all the hatin’ on Sarah Palin?
here’s why she is appealing;
-she comes up from a grass roots past. Alaskan with small town appeal.
-she is for the second amendment and not apolegetic about it.
-she is a woman with religious faith. period.
those who want to throw stones at that should also throw stones at the many religious people around us here in nyc such as the observant muslims, babtists in bed-stuy, hassidics in williamsburg/crown heights, mormons walking around in white shirts and black ties, conservative sephardic jews along ocean avenue and the myriad others who express themselves religiously.
-she has charisma, like it or not. she’s attractive and can speak in front of a crows (this scares the left for some reason)
– Despite the SNL skits and the Maureen Dowd zombies, she has brains, how would she get into a position running the largest state in the union without some mental capacity. Let’s not even be facetious about it. You have to have an IQ above 100 to run a large scale operation.
– She is not the Ivy League clone that the left would often seek. This appeals to the conservative base who often mistrusts these ivy league “superstars” like Tim Geithner or Jaime Gorelick or Robert Mcnamarra.
-hey, I wouldn’t put her on top of the Republican ticket, Mitt Romney was the better choice, but she has appeal, and at least she is not as hypocritical as Hillary Clinton who has stood by her man only out of political expediency.
etson – She didn’t even have what it takes to finish her term of office. Regardless of her aspirations, stepping down is dereliction of duty (esp. since her commitment to “follow-through” was one of her talking points.)
I do see that intelligent people can think differently from me – witness that woman from EBay – but it’s still astonishing.
My amen choir consists of former colleagues now singing at the Met, La Scala and City Opera, among other places. They will be augmented by members of some of Bed Stuy and Crown Heights’ best gospel choirs. All together, they will take the roof off the building. Et tu, Biffy?
OK, CG….a multi-unit building complicates things, I agree.
But, if you know the owner/landlord, and approach them with the same polite and reasonable approach you display here, (maybe say something like “I LOVE fruit and yours looks SO good!) I’m sure they’d be happy to have you take the fruit. You might even find you’ve made a new friend in the neighborhood.
I think a situation like this exemplifies one of the true benefits of living in Brooklyn, as opposed to Manhattan. Just go on up to them and talk!
Speaking of which, the Biff Amen Choir will be performing this Friday through Sunday at The Church of The Poison Mind. And on Sunday, September 20, they will appear at Our Lady of the Night Church in Brooklyn Heights.

Biff, my fellow clan member, how many times do I have to tell ya, it’s the Shul of the Poison Mind, S-H-U-L.

Will do Benson! I’m now in the gospel mode and I’m bopping and singing to Bebe and Cece Winans right now. Ahhh. 🙂
I just ran into Rob outside – he sends his best
“DH, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind playing cougee to Palin’s cougar.”
I’d give her a taste of my liberal agenda for sure.

Snappy;
Como on, this is my choir: suits and fedoras for the men. As for the ladies, I’m clueless. Just make it classic and elegant.
