Palin porn
By Will last year, at the start of October, 6 Comments »
She’s a nobody from Alaska. She thinks the world was created some time around the Tudor era (this is an exageration. She is a creationist). She only knows Russia exists because she can point to it from her ranch, from which she believes in the death penalty and in gun ownership, but she’s anti abortion. When recently asked which newspapers she read, she floundered before spluttering “all of them”.
She spoke of everyone’s favourite insurgents, the “Talibanis” and claims she “knows foreign policy” because of Alaska’s proximity to Russia. Oh, and she said that McCain knew how to “win a war” when talking about Iraq and Afghanistan. “Win,” Sarah? This woman is an idiot.
And she’s not even that attractive, yet I’ve still received my first Palin-porn spam email. The world has truly, utterly gone completely bloody bonkers.
6 Comments »Palin’s view of the world
By Will last year, at the start of October, No Comments; be the first!
Nice front cover from The New Yorker on Sarah Palin’s view of the world.
The always-fascinating Strangemaps blog explains:
No Comments »In its most recent issue, The New Yorker magazine revisits one of its most famous covers ever. Saul Steinberg’s cartoon on the front page of the 29 March 1976 issue showed the world as seen from New York’s 9th Avenue. Mr Steinberg’s ironic, iconic cartoon, mentioned earlier on this blog (#72), has been recycled, imitated and parodied many times - and now by the New Yorker itself, as a comment on vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s world view.
The world outside Alaska knew little of Sarah Palin before Republican presidential candidate John McCain announced, on August 29, that she would be his running mate. It seems that before that date, Sarah Palin also knew little of the outside world. She has been outside of the US only once, on a visit to Alaska National Guard troops in Germany and Kuwait.
