Republican vice presidential candidate Alaska Governor Sarah ...

"Christo"fascist Gov.-of-Alaska-for-Less-Than-Two-Years Sarah Palin-Quayle blows a kiss to her family during the KKK rally -- er, during the Repugnican National Convention earlier this month.

Hurricane Sarah will blow over

In fact, she's probably already been replaced by Ike

During lunch today my brother and I (who really should have our own left-wing talk radio show) were discussing Sarah One Heartbeat Away Palin.

Two gay guys at the next table overheard our conversation. They weren’t talking that much themselves, apparently because they were listening to my brother and me talk about Pentecostal Palin.

Finally, one of the two guys at the next table broke into our conversation and stated that he and his lunch companion were happy to learn that they weren’t the only two sane people in the nation.

Yes, everyone is talking about Sarah Speaks in Tongues Palin.

The Associated Press even put out a story today on the fact that everyone is talking about her.

And everyone who is sane and thinks (unlike the Pentecostals) that Armageddon is a bad thing is freaking out that John Fossil Fool McCain has been slightly ahead of Barack Obama in the polls for the past week or so.

While those of us Americans who are still sane need to remain alert and need to do what we can to prevent a McInsane-Pentecostal Palin White House, it’s not quite time to press the panic button over the fact that Pentecostal Palin might one day have access to The Big Red Button.

For right now, my advice to my fellow Americans who want to move to Canada if Obama isn’t our next president is: Chill. (And you'll die in a nuclear Armageddon in Canada, too -- there will be no escaping it.)

The election is still several weeks away. The McCainosaurus was expected to get a post-convention bounce.

Right now it's all about Palin. But the she-Nazi mystique will wear off soon enough. Americans can keep their attention focused on one thing for only...

…Uh, what was I saying?

Oh, yeah: As I was saying, right now it’s all about Palin, but look: Before the Repugnican National Convention, the Big News Story was the fact that Hurricane Gustav was expected to hit where Hurricane Katrina had hit three years before -- and during the Repugnican National Convention, no less. After Gustav didn't turn out to be another Katrina, the news story of the moment became Hurricane Sarah, who, as she was meant to do, pumped some life into the moribund McCainosaurus' campaign. 

Hurricane Sarah has been in the news only because nothing else has replaced her yet, and as I type this sentence it looks as though Hurricane Ike is about to devastate Texas (a.k.a. Bushland), knocking Hurricane Sarah out of the national spotlight.

And come Election Day on November 4, when Americans actually are casting their ballots (to be tallied by mysterious black boxes manufactured by Repugnican-supporting corporations, but that’s another blog piece), they will have to pick between John Sidney McCain III and Barack Obama (or, as the xenophobic, fear-mongering wingnuts love to call him, "B. Hussein Obama," ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!).

The thought that Pentecostal Palin might actually have to act as president one day – the average life expectancy of an American male is 75.6 years and the McCainosaurus is 72 years old – probably will make a lot of swing voters (I define a "swing voter" as someone who doesn’t know good from evil but who votes nonetheless) cast their votes for Obama. (Again, whether or not their votes will be tallied as they were cast is another story altogether.)

And for months now, Obama and the McCainosaurus both have been running at 40-something percent each in the polls. Only comparatively rarely has either of them hit or exceeded the 50-percent mark.

Go to this this web page and scroll down and take a look at the numbers.

You’ll see that in most of the polls since July, Obama has led Thurston Howell McCain III in the single digits.  

As he had been expected to, McInsane got a surge in the polls after his vote-for-me-'cause-I-was-a-POW speech during the Repugnican National Convention, but already his poll numbers from this past week are back down to within the margin of error. In fact, I see now that a Newsweek poll taken yesterday and the day before has Obama and McInsane tied at 46 percent. Already Team McInsane seems to have lost its bounce; the little surge hasn't won the war.

I expect Obama to start leading the McCainosaurus in the polls again in the near future, but I expect the race to remain tight up until Election Day, unless something seriously huge breaks. (And apparently the Repugnicans are concerned that something seriously huge might break, since they rarely will allow Lipstick-on-a-Pig Palen out of her pen.)

The nation has been rather evenly split between the sane and the intelligent (the blue states) and the insane and the ignorant (the red states) since at least the presidential election of 2000. The blue state-red state divide is quite real, despite the wishful thinking of those who say that it isn’t. The blue state-red state divide closely resembles how it was in Abraham Lincoln’s day with the slave states and the free states:

Little seems to have changed since the Civil War, and we might just need a second civil war -- especially if the Repugnicans keep trying to steal presidential elections.

Anyway, one of the gay guys at the other table today stated that if nothing else, the Alaska state trooper whom Abuse of Power Palin apparently tried to have fired because he had been involved in a messy divorce from her sister is cute:

Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten answers questions about the ...

Yeah, he’s not bad on the eye. (I hadn’t seen his picture before until I just looked for it on Yahoo! News.)

And about the only good thing that I can say about Pentecostal Palin, I told the other gay guy, is that her husband Todd isn't bad on the eye, either:

(But, I added, my guess is that poor Todd is pretty henpecked.)

Anyway, so Pentecostal Palin has given the nation something to talk about for a little while, has even given us fags (whom she'd burn at the stake if she could -- using public library books as fuel for the fire) some cheap thrills with some pictures of a couple of hotties with whom she is associated. She has been a great little distraction from any issues or substance, which is what Team McCainosaurus has wanted, but I doubt that she can keep the pit-bull-in-lipstick ruse going for the next several weeks here in the United States of Amnesia, especially as more details of her "Christo"fascist words and deeds in Alaska come out every day, and as it appears as though there's a good chance that the Alaska Legislature is going to find her guilty of wrongdoing before November 4.

And again, there's Hurricane Ike come to follow Hurricane Sarah, who followed Hurricane Gustav.

Come November 4, I expect Barack Obama to win. Not by as much as he should, but enough to prevent yet another presidential election stolen by the Repugnicans.

And Sarah Palin-Quayle will be just another little footnote in the history books.
