Like Cruella de Vil, Repugnican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin-Quayle (photographed in her Anchorage office in August 2007 above) likes to surround herself with dead things. Because that's what being an American is all about: shooting or bombing defenseless animals or civilians. Because it takes great fucking courage to shoot or bomb a defenseless animal or civilian from a safe distance. (Really, tell you what: Kill a grizzly with your bare hands and then I'll be impressed that you are displaying its remains.) Palin-de Vil, who perpetuates the big-oil lie that more drilling on U.S. soil is any sort of a solution to the energy crisis, hates not just grizzlies, but polar bears, too; she opposes their placement on the endangered species list because the endangered bears are inconvenient to oil and gas profits. (Hey, maybe we could power our SUVs with polar bear fat!)
Palin-Quayle is under investigation by the Alaska Legislature for the allegation that she abused her gubernatorial power by having fired the public safety commissioner for having refused to fire her former brother-in-law, a state trooper who had been involved in a custody battle with her sister.
But nevermind all of that: Palin-Quayle, who is a Pentecostal, likes to proclaim that those things that she supports -- such as the Vietraq War and a proposed multi-billion-dollar natural gas pipeline in Alaska -- are "God's will." Because theocracy is bad when the "Islamofascists" practice it, but is good when the "Christo"fascists practice it.
REPUGNANT
I could give a flying fucking shit that Repugnican Alaska Gov. Sarah "One Heartbeat Away" Palin-Quayle's underaged, unmarried daughter is pregnant -- except that it is yet another fucking example of Repugnican hypocrisy. When the rest of us do it, we are sinful sinners; when the Repugnicans do it, Hey, they're just human, too, and the rest of us shouldn't cast stones!
Sarah Palin-Quayle, who has been governor of one of the nation's least populous states for less than two years, is just another repugnant stupid white man in a stupid white woman's body -- she's a Stepford wife just like Laura Bush. She's a global-warming denier who believes that creationism should be taught in public schools (and probably still believes that the earth is flat) and she believes that the only good Muslim baby is a Muslim baby that the U.S. military has bombed to death, because hey, she's all about what Jesus would do. She believes that women shouldn't have control over their own uteri (we have to have all of those babies born so that they can die as cannon fodder in the bogus wars that the Repugnicans deliver to the war profiteers), and she enthusiastically supports the continued oppression of gay men and lesbians.
Former beauty pageant contestant Palin-Quayle obviously figured long ago that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em -- so she joined the oppressors of the Repugnican Party, and I have as much respect for a Repugnican woman as I do a Repugnican gay man. Supporting the oppressor -- yeah, that's always a great thing to do.
Yes, it's too bad that it has come to light that Palin-Quayle, a Pentecostal, is such a champion of those good ol' family values that her own unwed, underaged daughter is preggers -- when the real threat of a McCainosaurus-Palin-Quayle administration is that the BushCheneyCorp's oily "Christo"fascism, which threatens the entire fucking planet (can you say World War III?), would continue. The rich would continue to get richer while the poor would continue to get poorer, wars of aggression for the war profits of the war profiteers would continue, and the planet would continue to get hotter. As if things under eight long years of unelected Repugnican rule weren't hellish enough already, the United States of Amnesia would even contemplate allowing another Repugnican in the White House?
Anyway, I've been watching time-delayed coverage of the Repugnican National Convention on PBS, and I note the dearth of non-white faces that I'm seeing at the convention. I live in Sacramento, one of the most diverse cities of the nation, and to see the Repugnican National Conventions, which are about as white as KKK rallies (with occasional token sellout exceptions), is surreal to me. The Repugnicans do not represent the United States of America that I am familiar with.
I've yet to watch Palin's speech, but I will do so shortly and comment thereafter.
So the KKK-rally-like Repugnican National Convention continues to periodically break out in a spine-chilling chant of "Drill, baby, drill!"
Jesus Fucking Christ. While we're at it, why don't we cut down every last fucking tree on the planet? And shoot and kill every last animal?
Yes, let's follow the Repugnican Party's insanely short-term "vision" until the planet is just a smoldering mass of molten lava on which even WALL-E and his cockroach sidekick couldn't survive. Yes, this is the party of responsibility! Let's put short-term corporate profits over the survival of mankind and even the planet itself! Woo hoo! Praise Jeeesus!!!
Anyway, so Rudy "A Noun, a Verb and 9/11" Giuliani is pontificating right now, and I think that Palin-Quayle speaks next.
Palin-Quayle is speaking now. She is annoyingly nasal and I find her speech unremarkable thus far.
Her oldest son is named Track. Because the family is or was into track, apparently... OK... I guess that's better than Ping-Pong or Pinball... Palin-Quayle's youngest son is named Trig. Had there been a twin girl, I guess her name would have been Algebra. Whatever...
Track is off to the Vietraq War, Palin-Quayle tells us. Gee, you have to wonder whether the U.S. military will allow Track to come anywhere near harm's way in Vietraq. I mean, that would be pretty bad P.R. for the McCainosaurus-Palin-Quayle ticket, wouldn't it? (Or maybe not?...)
Anyway, so Palin-Quayle continues to talk in her whiny voice as I type. She sounds like one of the characters on "South Park" and she seems to have a bit of a lisp...
That this woman might actually be president of the United States of America -- Oh. My. God. I guess that I have religion now.
Enough so that I'm going to donate some more money to Barack Obama.
P.S. My brother joked that if you played a drinking game in which the Repugnicans mentioned "terror" or "terrorists" during their convention, you'd quickly be drunk. No, the word that would have resulted in a dangerously high blood-alcohol level would have been "maverick," followed at a close second by some reference to the McCainosaurus' experience as a prisoner of war, which surely is enough to extend the BushCheneyCorp's catastrophic policies and practices for at least another four years.
