Just a lot of unexpected things came up – and a day that was planned to be one at home ended up being one of appointments and meetings.

But just so I’m not leaving you completely empty handed – a friend on Facebook posted a link to this op piece on Huffington Post by Paul Slansky.  It’s short so I’m gonna give you the entire thing:

She took great umbrage at Rahm Emanuel’s use of the phrase “fucking retards,” then excused Rush Limbaugh’s subsequent reference to a “retard summit” as “satire.” She snarked to the Tea Partiers about President Obama’s use of a teleprompter, then was caught during the Q&A sneaking peeks at her hand, where she had pathetically scribbled crib notes in the idiotic belief that no one would notice them. (“Energy,” “Tax,” and “Lift American Spirits” — she was afraid she’d forget those deep thoughts?) And, of course, there was, “How’s that hopey-changey stuff workin’ out for ya?” which, in all my years of watching politics, is the most viscerally nauseating utterance I’ve ever heard. And these are just from the past week.

After a year and a half of exposure to this virulently toxic presence, the question on the table is: In our lifetime, has there ever been a worse human being in American politics than Sarah Palin? For all the morons and criminals and bigots we’ve been subjected to, has there been anyone else who has combined all of the fetid qualities — the proud ignorance, the sadistic viciousness, the shameless hypocrisy, the arrogant laziness, the congenital dishonesty, the unctuous sanctimony, the bilious resentment, and whichever others I’m forgetting for the moment — that this morals-free harridan so relentlessly displays? (Not to mention that atonal bray with which she communicates it all.)

Talk amongst yourselves.
