Sarah Palin.

First she supported the so-called “Bridge to Nowhere.” Now she doesn’t. That’s fine, people are allowed to change their minds. Except now she’s lying about that former support, even though it’s a matter of public record.

However, there may be an even bigger skeleton in her closet than a $220 million dollar bridge.

Her fourth baby, born early this year. Is it really hers? Daily Kos has a detailed story on how the mother of this baby may actually be Palin’s 16 year old daughter. Since she’s an evangelical Christian (who believes in creationism and not evolution), I guess she thought it would be the Christian thing to lie to the entire world.

ABC News details how Palin was such a last minute choice for McCain (who really wanted Lieberman and had to be talked out of it) that his staff never had the chance to do a complete vetting process on her. And so McCain chose a relative unknown who he himself had only met twice and knew little about.

Kind of reminds me of the way Resident Bush chose people. Like Michael Brown, the guy fired because he couldn’t stage horse shows and was hired to run FEMA.

Now another hurricane is bearing down on the gulf region and there are fears that it will be a big one. It is a vivid reminder of the way Republicans left this city to die. It’s also, in a sad sense, an opportunity to show that they’ve learned from their mistakes and won’t screw up like that this time. But McCain voted against the Katrina Commission (twice), against unemployment assistance for Katrina victims, against Medicaid access for Katrina victims.

Also, after Obama’s speech got higher TV ratings than the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies, it will take air time away from the Republican convention, just when they need it the most.

Stuart Shepard of “Focus On Family” asked his viewers to pray for rain of “biblical proportions” to interrupt the Democratic convention. Guess he got his wish, just a little late?

This is the thing about some Republicans, like this nutjob Shepard or the people on Fox News shouting down people who disagree with them. They’re not true Americans. Bill O’Reilly is not a true American. He isn’t looking out for you. He is looking out for ratings and sales. They don’t support the constitution, they don’t support freedom of speech, they only support freedom for people who believe what they believe and that is not America.

I am not praying for rain of biblical proportions. I’m hoping the weather folks got it wrong and that Gustav is just a fraction of what they’re predicting. Let McCain strut his little barbie doll grandma around on stage. And let’s just wait for the debates ….

This morning, on the drive to work, I decided to listen to the Katy Perry album. I was curious as to how old she is (her lyrics make her sound about 17) and looked her up on Wikipedia and was surprised to discover she’s 24.

Something else in her Wikipedia listing surprised me. Wish I had screen grab software on this PC but I don’t, so please believe me when I say that this is there right now – probably by the time many of you click on this to check it out, it will be gone.

Personal Life

On August 21, 2008 Perry revealed in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone Magazine that she had in fact sucked Wesley’s penis. She described the experience as one of the best of her life. She said, “Everything that has happened to me in the past year pales in comparison to my experience with this penis.” she went on to describe the experience as a “sticky situation.” It is in fact unclear if she swallowed for him, but we can assume from the author’s wording of the article that she did at least gargle for him. She said, “I really love sweaty testicles smacking my face, especially big and salty ones like his.”

There is nothing anywhere else in the listing to indicate who this Wesley might be.

UPDATED: I went to look at the history page for the article, went back to the main page and the section has already been removed!
