Sarah Palin > Bill Clinton + Al Gore

Sen. Chambliss Says Palin 'Fired Up' the Base in Georgia Runoff :

Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, fresh off his victory over challenger Jim Martin in the Georgia Senate runoff, told FOX News Wednesday that campaign trail appearances by Sarah Palin helped put him over the top

Both candidates brought in heavy hitters to stump for them in the final days before the runoff. 

Former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore hit the stump for Martin. [...]

You go girl!  (chanting)  Sarah!  Sarah!  Sarah!  :)

 It isn't really too shocking, that a Republican won in Georgia is it?

I hadn't realize that RS 4.0 was already up

It's a wordpress format.  That means it's very different than RS 3.0 which lasted a whole 6 months.  Maybe.  I wonder if any of the rubes regret donating to the RS 3.0 fund- all $25,000 of it.

 

A commemorative tribute to RS 3.0:

Thats their image by the way...  Yeah.

Is it really still "irony" when they cast themselves as the bad guys whose technical marvel blows up the second time its used?  That may fall more into the category of "self fulfilling prophecy."

Imagination, lack thereof

My mother took me up for my monthly check up as far as the meds and she wanted tostop at some ubertrendy yuppie mall on the way.  Specifically she wanted to go to "The container store" which is huely overpriced and plays the most god awgul christmas music imaginable. 

What really got me about the place though was the total lack of imagination.  Even the name, which on the store front is written in the most bland font, is generic to the point of making you think their marketeers are phoning it in.

And then I walked around the corner and saw a shop literally called just "Product."

 

I came. I saw. I posted.
Veni, Vidi, Bitchy.

I always laugh

when I think about the aisle in the grocery store that used to have all of the generic goods.  I have not seen it since the mid-eighties or so, but they used to carry all of the high quality products like this:

My god, that just screams hangover.
