Ok, ok: Just One More

I found this on CBS news. I think it's hilarious!

NEW YORK (CBS) Maybe Jeremy Olson should have practiced with a target before attempting to pelt Sarah Palin with tomatoes at a book signing in Minnesota Dec. 7.

Olson, 33, who police say has no permanent address, was arrested at the Mall of America in Minnesota after one of the tomatoes meant for Sarah Palin failed to hit their mark and landed squarely in the face of a Bloomington police officer, according to Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik. Commander Stehlik said that Olson’s aim was off by "maybe ten feet to the left, it wasn't close to her."

As officers were arresting Olson he said that "he wished he had better aim" according to Commander Stehlik.

Olson now faces charges of 5th degree assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct, according to Commander Stehlik.

Olson is currently being held in the jail at the Bloomington Police Department and when question early Tuesday Dec. 8 he refused to give a statement. He will likely appear in court later today or tommorrow depending on when the investigators are able to get the case in front of prosecutors.

Commander Stehlik also told CBS News' Crimesider that Olson had "a bigger tomato arsenal in his pocket that had yet to be deployed" as well as a journal with one entry that read: 'Today i will attempt to pelt Sarah Palin with juicy red tomatoes for her fantastic collection of stamps on the American political piggy sceen(sic)', it is not known what he meant by 'stamps'.

An alternate ID was also found, when he was arrested, with a different name than the one he gave police. "But we are fairly certain that the name we released is the correct one," Commander Stehlik said.

Commander Stehlik said that there were still questions about why he had an alternate ID and that depending on where the investigation leads there might be more charges.

One More (awful) Bit

So I just found this excerpt from Palin's book (because I still refuse to purchase it), and I couldn't help but post it:

I know for sure that I could carry on, like he, and we, have done together all of these years on this long, Iron Dog race of a marriage that is at once grueling and celestial, onerous and majestic.

Can anyone (and I mean anyone) decipher meaning from that sentence. Anyone? I didn't think so. Fingers crossed for Obama 2012.

All good things must come to an end;

Like my blog and Sarah Palin’s book tour:

"Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has ended her book tour, arriving home in Alaska on Sunday for her final stops.

The former Republican vice presidential nominee visited 24 states before coming back to Alaska, where she ended the tour with signings at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage and Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks.

Palin has sold more than 1 million copies since her book came out in November. HarperCollins printed 1.5 million for the entire first run of the hardcover book that sells for a cover price of $28.99.

It is unclear what Palin plans to do following the book tour, though the former governor has scheduled a number of paid speaking events.

“22-degrees below zero here @ Eielson Air Force Base,” Palin tweeted with her final note from the road, “but so many warm hearts made r book signing event toasty, energizing, welcoming! Thx Frbnks.”

Thanks so much for sticking with me over the past few moments. Researching Palin's silly maneuvers have been enjoyable and entertaining. I hope I have provided at least a few laughs and that now, more than ever, it is clear how dangerous Palin could be to the US. Thanks for reading!

The best of Sarah Palin

As the blog comes to a close, I wanted to shared this video which captures Sarah's greatest moments during the 2008 election. I hope that people keep this in mind as 2012 nears:

The Democrats Respond

After hearing Palin's attacks against the Climategate scandle, many Democrats in Congress are responding with force:

“Before Sarah Palin writes a book, she should try reading a few,” said Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), who followed up with a series of peer-reviewed reports on rising sea levels, air temperatures and ocean acidity.

Palin’s position is “worse than one of denial – it’s one of defeatism,” added Inslee, echoing earlier comments by former Vice-President Al Gore.

“Ex-Governor Palin is at it again, [she] somehow has discovered some kind of smoking gun,” added Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who compared Palin’s statements to her support of the discredited “death panel” charges over the summer.

“There is no there,” he added. “And the ex-governor’s state has [suffered] the greatest impact in terms of global warming of any state in the nation…It’s absolutely critical that we not allow the same sort of death panel, swift-boating to occur.”

It's good to see that the Dems aren't taking her non researched, unfounded comments laying down. Good for them for reacting.

Simply Absurd

I found this online today and I have to admit that I am absolutely shock. Shocked. Who would pay over 7K to have "Palin's red jacket." Her followers are absurd.

Radio host Laura Ingraham is auctioning off the red jacket Sarah Palin wore on the cover of her memoir, "Going Rogue." Proceeds for the sale will benefit two organizations that serve American military and veterans.

As of 3:15 pm Eastern Standard Time, the bidding on the jacket had reached $7,050.

Palin announced the auction this morning in a note on her Facebook page.

"It's a privilege to participate in the auction Laura Ingraham is organizing to help our men and women in uniform," Palin said. "Laura asked if I would donate the jacket I wore on the cover of my book, "Going Rogue." I can't think of a better cause, and it's especially fitting because the book is dedicated to patriots and in particular to our women and men in uniform."

Palin also called into the Laura Ingraham show this morning to talk with the radio host as bidding began.

"Now Going Rogue has sold over a million copies…" Ingraham said. "And it drives [the liberal media] insane, because they don't understand why people are rallying to [Palin's] cause, and her ideas, and what she stands for and represents. And I'm telling you it's partly because of her generous spirit. And when I asked her on the spot during our last interview… if she would do this for the troops, for the Wounded Warrior, and the Fisher [House], on the spot, Governor Palin said yes. The auction begins now."

Ingraham also plugged the "Code Red Rally," a protest against healthcare reform that is scheduled for next week outside the Capitol. The event description on Ingraham's website offers a warning to politicians who support the reform efforts: "enjoy your remaining time in the U.S. Capitol because we're coming for your seat." Ingraham referenced the use of the color red to symbolize an emergency.

"People are going to be wearing red jackets," she told Palin. "And you wore red on the cover of your book, but it's an emergency. It's red for the emergency… So I think that's going to be another show of power."

The auction will end at 8:00 am on December 18th. Proceeds for the "Rogue Warrior Jacket" will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project and The Fisher House.

Palin on the Tonight Show

Palin did make a surprise appearance on the Tonight Show. She talked about her book and showed a sense of humor some never thought was possible.
