In an interview that Sarah Palin gave yesterday in Colorado, she received a question from a third grader asking: "What does the VP do?" In typical Palin fashion, she gave the completely wrong answer saying the "Vice President is in charge of the Senate." Uh, WRONG. Palin=FAIL on that one. While it is true that the VP presides over the Senate during ceremonial occasions, he or she is NOT in charge

In front of a crowd in New Hampshire, she says that she's glad to be in the "northwest"... uh, last time I checked, NH was in the northeast. Glad she's got that whole geography thing down. Maybe the "lower 48" is all the same to her? You betch'ya!

She doesn't know what the Vice President does:

As governor of Alaska, she presented this opening statement to the Alaska Independence Party convention:This group is a radical right-wing fringe political party in AK. They believe that Alaskans were deprived of their rights in 1958 and their stated goal is:Until we as Alaskans receive our Ultimate Goal, the AIP will continue to strive to make Alaska a better place to live with less government

Sarah Palin is now saying the Katie Couric was unfair to the poor little girl from Alaska. In a post-debate interview with Faux News, she actually complains that Katie didn't ask the questions that she wanted to talk about. Which in Palin-speak means that Katie didn't ask the questions that she had memorized the answers to. As the Huffington Post points out:"For the record, Couric asked her,

So we all know that Sarah Palin is a pro-life candidate, which is fine, she is entitled to her opinion. When asked about why Roe v. Wade is a bad decision, she can barely string 2 coherent thoughts together. When asked what other Supreme Court decisions she disagrees with, she can't name ONE. Not ONE. The Supreme Court has made thousands of rulings and the only one she knows about is Roe v. Wade.

I think that this one is pretty much self-explanatory:

In her interview with Katie Couric, who is by no means my idea of a bastion of hard hitting journalism, Palin continues to imply that sharing a border with Russia gives her foreign policy experience. When pressed for an explanation why, she doesn't seem to be coached on any better answer than she gave Charlie Gibson. Here's a transcript of the interview:COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to

Okay, stop having a heart attack that I am actually posting on this blog. So I was watching Good Morning America this morning (I know, bad idea, not journalism, etc.) and they had a hard hitting report about which fad diet was best. Low Carb vs. Low Fat vs. Mediterranean, blah, blah, blah. The most successful dieter lost 12 lbs in two years. TWO YEARS! I call that statistical error. Hey,

Every morning while we're having our breakfast, the lovely and talented wife (LTW) likes to watch ABC Mega-Morning Show. A bastion of hard-hitting journalism it is not (though the anchors would occasionally like you to think so). It's not terrible and keeps me from having to think too much before I've had my morning coffee. So this morning, the intrepid reporter-on-the-street did a typical

In a recent episode of How I Met Your Mother (by the way if you're not watching this show you should TIVO it) Ted and Marshall said a prayer to the TIVO God. This is very similar to the DVR prayer that is said in our house on a regular basis when it comes to recording favorite shows like Lost and 24. It went like this:Marshall: But just to make sure it records, maybe we should bow our heads and

To the nerdy, W0rld of Warecraft (misspelled on porpoise), teenagers in line in front of us at the local Bullseye Big-box store: Just a hint, condoms and pregnancy tests usually don't go together. They definitely have a cause and effect relationship, but not usually a corollary one.

To the stupid lady on the freeway, talking on her cell phone instead of paying attention to her driving: The little dots and lines on the road tell you where the lane is.

Seems that almost every single product these days has a warning label. We all know why. That's right, because of the dumbness (see previous posts). We have to have a warning on our coffee cup from the local global coffee conglomerate to tell us that the 'beverage we're about to enjoy is extremely hot'. That's because it takes some idiots spilling coffee on their crotch for them to realize
