“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.

Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs”...

A Limerick for Sarah

by Robert Rouse

There once was a lady named Palin

Whose credentials as V.P. were failin’

If the press gets a handle

On just one more scandal

Then McCain may just send Palin sailin’

McCain's choice

Asked about Palin's national security experience, Cindy McCain could not come up with anything beyond the fact that, after all, her state is right next to Russia. "You know, the experience that she comes from is, what she has done in government -- and remember that Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia."

Earlier in the interview, she said that Palin was "heavily experienced" in general, citing her going from the PTA to mayor to governor -- and having a son headed for Iraq. She actually said that she started her political career at the PTA "like everybody else."

After Michelle's awesome speech, one of the historians on Jim Lehrer Newshour said Malia & Sasha's appearance was worth as least four million votes! It was so cute when they kept saying, "Hi Daddy" to Barack!!

One amazing woman!



Dara Torres, the oldest female swimmer in Olympic history, settled for a silver medal in the 50-meter freestyle — missing gold by 1/100th of a second — and added her third silver medal of the Games by anchoring the 4x100 medley relay to a second-place finish to Australia.

It gave the 41-year-old mom her 12th career swimming medal, tying her with Jenny Thompson for the record for U.S. women. She became the oldest swimming medalist in history when she won silver in the 4x100 free relay earlier in the meet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARACK!

Bush travels to Olympics

Barack Obama announced that next month he wants to spend a week on vacation in Hawaii. Yeah, after hearing about it, President Bush said, “I can’t believe he’s taking another trip to a foreign country.”- Conan O'Brien

Chuck Hagel as Barack's VP... consider the possibilities!!!

I would be remiss if I didn't post pics of Barack in Berlin today. Blogger friend "An Average American Patriot" said it best on my last post... "Did you hear his speech in Berlin today? Excellent! The guy is awesome."

Video of Barack's Berlin speech in case you missed it.

The next Commander-In-Chief of the United States will make our country very proud again!

It was well worth the wait for Bush to come to the rescue of solving the banking crisis by issuing his advice of "take a deep breath."

A Shortage at the Pump: Not of Gas, but of 4s



If one is the loneliest number, then four is the hottest — at least when it comes to gasoline.

With regular gas in New York City at a near-record $4.40 a gallon, station managers are rummaging through their storage closets in search of extra 4s to display on their pumps. Many are coming up short.

That’s why Vishal Nair, who runs the Lukoil station at Eighth Avenue and 13th Street in Greenwich Village, took another plastic number last week, turned it over and scribbled “4” on it with a black magic marker. The result was an obviously homemade “$4.47,” but it would have to do until he received the extra 4s he ordered months ago.

Step right this way, Mr. President
