To all the teachers, coaches, friends, and relatives who have, in the course of my 54 years on planet Earth, told me "quitters never win" I give you the former half-term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin: "Pundits can debate the political costs and benefits of Sarah Palin's decision to step down as Alaska governor, but the monetary advantages of leaving her $125,000-a-year public service post are beyond dispute. Since leaving office at the end of...

Republican Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall claims that disabled children are God's punishment on women who aborted their first pregnancy.   Yeah, he really did. "The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically," he said. "Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children." "In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was...

First I want to thank everybody for your comments on yesterday's post. Sorry I couldn't jump in but sometimes work gets in the way. The debate between "kill the bill" and "pass it and fix it later" is a good one with valid points to be made on both sides. That's why I like the forum we have here at the Hurricane so much. We can disagree with each other and have a substantive discussion...

Well known for selling books she didn't write, Sarah Palin's name appeared on an opinion piece in the Washington Post this morning that she also probably didn't write.  Why do I say that?  Because it was in complete sentences with subjects, verbs, and everything.  Does it express her opinions?  Absolutely.  Why do I say that?  Because the piece is simple minded, full of mischaracterizations, distortions, and outright lies, pushing politicized, knee jerk, "conservative" talking points. ...

Remember this ad from the 2008 campaign? 　 Remember how the McCain campaign and their lackeys on talk-radio and the Fox Propaganda Channel went nuts over the crowd chanting "Obama, Obama?" Fast forward to yesterday in Plano, Texas at Sarah Palin's book-signing. "Palin, former governor of Alaska, arrived around 11 a.m. Friday, shaking a few hands but not speaking publicly before she headed inside. The crowd chanted, "Sarah, Sarah" and "Palin, Palin." Remember the reaction...

Some odds and ends from around the intertoobs before I head out in search of the perfect snow shovel in preparation for the Great Texas Blizzard of '09:Someone put the G-nO-P on suicide watch, unemployment is coming down. What a shocker, Sarah Palin is a birther. Speaking of Sarah, she's set to be the keynote speaker at the 2010 International Bowl Expo. Gutter ball, anyone?WWJD? Cut the estate tax. So says Louie Gohmert.  Health care...

In my opinion, there's no bigotry worse than bigotry cloaked in religion. More dangerous than the guys in the hoods and sheets are the snakes in 3-piece suits who stand behind pulpits claiming to be followers of Christ while spewing hate for their fellow man. Here is the latest in what is getting to be an increasingly long line of "pastors" who fit that description, Grant Swank, of the New Hope Church in Windham, Maine....

The Sarah Palin Traveling Circus, Book Tour, and general all-around fleecing of the gullible public, rolled into Tempe, Arizona on Tuesday, where the Quitter's supporters started lining up the day before to get a chance to meet her. There are couple of things to listen for in this clip from Fox 10 in Phoenix, aside from the incredible comments about how "smart" she is and how "she's one of us." First, as the camera pans...

Make your reservations now, and hurry, there are only a few rooms left (oops, bad word choice for this event. Make that remaining.) The First National Tea Party Convention will be held at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, February 4-6, 2010, and the keynote speaker will be--drum roll please--Sarah the Quitter. Also on the roster of speakers, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Two wingnuts for the price of one, what a bargain. Speaking of price, from the...
