"The
governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, is stepping down from office. Will no longer be
the governor of Alaska on Sunday. So right about now, Sarah Palin should be
taking her grizzly bear head off the wall and packing it in bubble wrap."

Disturbing News
Pentagon Propaganda
The Pentagon did not violate
a federal prohibition on propaganda by using retired military officers to tout
the Bush administration's war policies in the media, congressional investigators
said Tuesday.
At the same time, the report by the Government Accountability Office said the
use of military analysts by the administration prompted legitimate questions
from members of Congress and the news media about whether
defense contractors with commercial ties to the retired officers received
favorable treatment in procurement decisions.
"Happy birthday to former Senator Larry Craig from Idaho. Sixty-four years old. And if you are wondering where the celebration is, well, it's in the stall with the yellow balloons." --David Letterman

"Gov.
Sanford is still trying to recover from his sex scandal. This is the latest.
This weekend, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford wrote an editorial
apologizing for his behavior. I'm not sure he's sincere, though, because it
starts out, 'Dear Penthouse.'" --Conan O'Brien
The Sad Effects of Conservative Constipation

Former Miss
California Carrie Prejean, who got canned from her beauty queen job for not
showing up to her contractual obligations, is writing a book.
It will be called “Still Standing" and it's due out in November.
"Still Standing," despite, we assume, those nasty winds that exposed her breasts
during that photo shoot.
Wanna bet the book is about her being the victim of a liberal media that hates
beautiful conservatives like her and tried to make her look really, really dumb?

White House delays report on closing Guantánamo Christian Science Monitor

"It was that fateful day in July that we planted the Stars and Stripes in the lunar surface, officially claiming the moon as America's space Puerto Rico. It was all ours. It was the culmination of a dream. ... It took us ten years, astronauts' lives, billions of dollars, and all we did is hit a f***ing golf ball? ... I can't help but think, if only there'd been Moon Indians. By now, we'd probably have hourly shuttles to the moon casinos that we had to give them as an apology for the terrible Earthpox epidemic of 1973." --Jon Stewart

Subject: Health care costs
Hey Lisa,
I'm not really sure why there is so much controversy to paying for
health care. I have paid for public education for all of my adult life
even though I don't have kids and never gave it a second thought because
I realize the alternative: ignorance. Just my opinion, but I consider
the right to health care in the same league with education. Everybody
should have it. Not really sure why the government can mandate car
insurance but not health insurance. As I said, just my opinion.
Jonathan
P.S.- Hope your son is good
I couldn't
say it any better: Not really sure why
the government can mandate car
insurance but not health insurance.
And yes, my son is good. The excellent healthcare he is receiving in China is a small fraction of what it would have cost here.
