Palin, Ensign, and Going Hungry

I have a few brief notes and thoughts of interest (interesting to me, not so much to you) to pass on.

It was nice to see that Sarah Palin accepted David Letterman’s apology about his jokes about her daughter.

But seriously…

In her acceptance statement, why did she have to say his joke, her reaction, and the ensuing apology was in part due to our brave young men and women serving in the Armed Forces?

Ha. I know why. She is always politicking. Good God, does she ever stop? Will she ever shut up? Does she ever stop exploiting others for her political benefit?

I don’t think so, and it’s making my ears bleed!!

Lucky for her that her lunacy makes me laugh, because if it didn’t, I’d have to go to Alaska, duct tape her pie hole shut, and then take her daughter out for a cozy “lunch” just for spite.

And by her daughter, I mean, Bristol, not Willow. Capiche, all of you Con-Pervatives ©?

Speaking of Con-Pervatives ©…Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) announced Tuesday that he had an extramarital affair with a female campaign staffer between December 2007 and August 2008.

Tsk, tsk, tsk…Ensign was one of the Senators calling for Clinton to resign over the Lewinsky sexcapade.

As I am not the wife of Ensign, I really don’t give a crap, but I do find the irony and hypocrisy fairly funny.

In fact, I think Ensign is pretty hip for gettin’ his extramarital, Senatorial groove on with a staffer. Unless the staffer is a real pig with small boobs, and man hands.

If that’s the case…screw the philanderer!!

Ryno’s HS basketball team is lifting this summer in advance of the 2009-10 season. As of now, he is listed as the starting Small Forward for the JV team.

I’m taking Ryno to weightlifting today. And when he's done, I am picking him up and taking the 5’10”, 155 pound soon-to-be Freshman to lunch.

I will have to eat something here at home after we go to lunch. We are going to Applebee’s and I only have 30 bucks.

Even though he is fairly thin, the boy can EAT. I figure his part of the bill will come to 25 bucks. That leaves me enough for a glass of tea and the tip.

Hopefully, Ryno will have a new Chuck Norris joke or two for me. He tells them all the time. My favorite is this one:

It’s said that Chuck Norris’ tears can cure cancer. It’s a shame that Chuck Norris doesn’t cry...Ha!!

Anyhoo…That’s all I have today.

I won’t be around much today because I’ll be taking Schmoop to work, carting Ryno around, going hungry as I watch him eat, and then I’m off to work.

Have a wonderful Hump Day, all.

Cheers!!

Sarah Palin and David Letterman: Knocked Up On Late Night

I tried to stay away from the following issue, but alas, I could not.

The issue won’t go away, and who am I to shy away from a such a phony, overblown, media driven controversy?

I am talking about the brouhaha going on over David Letterman’s jokes that he made last week about Gov. Sarah “Plain and Dull” Palin, and her daughter.

You see…

I found his jokes about A-Rod knocking up her daughter during the 7th inning stretch and trying to keep Eliot Spitzer away from her at the Yankees game, to be quite funny.

And…If anyone, including dim-bulb Palin, says that Letterman was talking about her 14 year old daughter, Willow, and not Palin’s, prematurely cultivated 18 year old daughter Bristol, they are being disingenuous.

See? If Letterman had meant the jokes to be directed at Palin’s 14 year old, they wouldn’t be funny. There’s no context or history to the joke.

Bristol however, much like the Cincinnati Reds have given up on fielding a competitive baseball team, gave up on her virginity long ago.

These joke makes sense (comedic or otherwise) in the context of Bristol’s history, and the histories of both A-Rod and Spitzer.

Of course, Palin has come out swinging (oops, is that a sexual connotation?) by saying that Letterman is a dirty old man who cannot be trusted in the company of 14 year old girls.

According to Gov. Sarah “I’ll Trot My Daughter And Her Illigetimate Baby Out Onto The National Scene” Palin, Letterman’s a deviant and he owes all underage girls across the country an apology.

Letterman owes an apology to no one.

He’s a as much a sexual deviant as was Mother Teresa…Although I have heard rumors that she did have an affection for young Indian boys who suffered from cholera and tuberculosis.

Seriously though, about the only thing sexually deviant about Letterman is that I bet he still chuckles when he tells people that he graduated from BALL State. Hee. Hee.

Of course, it is not only Palin using this manufactured outrage in order to garner some TV face time.

In addition to the usual 24/7 Cable Outlet suspects, New York State Assemblyman, Brian Kolb-R, has called on CBS to fire Mr. Letterman.

“Hey Assemblyman Korn Kolb…Your call to a, Mr. National Relevance went through…don’t bother picking up, he’s reversing the charges.”

And of course there are “outraged” bloggers, such as some chick named Texas Darlin, who have lambasted Letterman for statutorily raping the Palins with his jokes.

Oh yeah, this Texas Darlin peapod is a peach. She has blog rules, ya know.

One of which is, if she doesn’t like and/or agree with your comment, she probably won’t post it. Love the discourse there, TD.

Anyhoo…Letterman is a comedian. He was doing his job. He makes jokes. That’s what he does.

Palin’s job on the other hand, is to be the Governor of Alaska, and yet she seemingly spends her time doing everything except for being the Chief Executive of the State of Alaska.

Her supporters will claim that she is busy promoting abstinence, making a name for a 2012 Presidential run, and educating people on conservative values.

Nah, Baby, Nah…What Palin is actually doing is busy becoming her own TV reality show, and she is shamelessly dragging her family into it right along with her.

She has become a scaled down, yet no less seedy, and mind numbingly horrid version of, Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Letterman did his job, and he did it well. He lived up to those immortal words of the late George Carlin…

“I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.”

Damn straight…Rock on Mr. Letterman…Rock On.

Cheers!!
