  1. “Um…can I squeeze my chunky ole butt into your suitcase?”
    Snappy, I already carry lots of baggage, but why not?

    Kens, if you want to be the nanny to the Champfruit, then by all means I’ll take you along.

    After daydreaming about Prague, I remembered the video to one of my fave songs (as we’ve discussed here before) was shot there.

    Enjoy:

  2. benson- funny, you didn’t mention the Biff amen choir- just the MM one. I love the fantasy of why people dislike her- common man hero! Speaks unashamedly and “honestly.” Great media spin- delusional and inaccurate, but very well done spin. As for knowing nothing about her? Well, her speech certainly said a lot. Not about anything important, but a lot. She went on the attack and whoa- big surprise, got hit back.

    Palin speaks in platitudes and political punch lines. Anyone who thinks an honest word or opinion came out of her mouth doesn’t know much about political groomers. She was a construct of Republican fantasies of being mavericks. Mavericks- right. Real Mavericks go their own way and wouldn’t go into politics if you paid them.

    “More broadly, the left has never understood working- or lower- middle class conservatives. So they dismiss them as stupid, or provincial, or religious nuts or the like.”
    And that is a crock. The left traditionally was made up of the working and lower middle class, unlike the republicans who are mostly white and wealthy. But they pander to the worst in the “lesser classes” because they need the base.

  3. > Both Huckabee and Palin were perfectly good governors.

    Palin? Really? She quit less than halfway through her first term. That’s not perfectly good. It’s the definition of failure.
