The Left’s New Crisis: Sara Palin Wrote On Her Hand. Gasp!

*Scroll down for Updates:*

The left has a new crisis! A photograph of Sarah Palin taken sometime while at the 2010 Tea Party Convention, shows writing on her hand that might suggest a couple of notes made, or not, to assist her through her speech. The left is outraged at this seeming ignorant act from a “hick” from Alaska, the same left that supports their president, who while reading from his teleprompter, twice mispronounced the word Corpsman as “Corpse Man”. To think of the difficulties some people have in life as long as Sarah Palin walks, eats and breathes.

*Update:* I posted this video for a little bit of light entertainment. The idea that a former governor of Alaska would write a note on her hand and a portion of our society would go insane over it. Yes, I criticized President Obama for using a teleprompter in a sixth grade class setting. No, I never said Obama shouldn’t be using a teleprompter. All presidents do but dare we say Obama has carried a bit too far?
Anyway, the video is intended to be on the lighter side of things, to show the silliness of the whole thing.
Regardless, those who have viewed this video at the YouTube site, it seems a handful of viewers are afflicted with Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome. That and what appears to be a lack of vocabulary.

*Update 2*There were two things I made assumptions about and now seem to be coming true. The photo of Sarah Palin with “Hi Mom” on the palm of her hand was evidently taken at a later time while campaigning for Texas Gov. Rick Perry. I didn’t say in the video this picture was taken at the same Tea Party Convention. I said it was taken later. I just didn’t know when at the time. (Yes I could have been more explicit about that.) Why is everyone missing one of the points that Sarah Palin is having a lot of fun with this, knowing full well, the media would now have magnifying glasses on her hands and who knows where else. She was right and got in a “shout out” to her mom.

The second thing has to do with the 5 items on her hand. This too appears that these she did to assist her through the question and answer session. And, yes, for all you whose undies are in a wad, it was announced during the televised part of the question and answer, that Sarah Palin agreed to do a question and answer and that the questions were selected ahead of time. Yup! 3×5 cards would have worked as well and would have also brought on the same hysterical response from the media.

My God!!!! Allahpundit thinks also that this is all a bit too silly and that there is hypocrisy in the reporting when compared to something like President Obama’s “corpse man” gaffe, which I learned today he has mispronounced on other occasions prior to the latest. Oh, my! So what’s the deal? Has his staff not informed him he’s mispronouncing this word? Do they know the difference? Or maybe, he just has trouble with that word….kind of like someone we all knew who said, “nucular”. So that must also make Obama stupid.

Budget Freezes For Dummies

I told my wife I had to make some cuts in our budget, that we were spending too much money. (I cut her shopping allowance and eliminated altogether any money for antiques. I also told her she needed to go on a diet so we could cut down on our food expenditures.) What I didn’t tell her was I jumped everything else 20,30 or 40% and then announced a freeze! Maybe I’ll get my new boat this year after all, if I can pull this one off.

Journalistic Integrity – Oh Yes! I’m Full Of It

I’m full of it alright but some of you probably think I’m full of something else besides journalistic integrity, whatever that is.

Maintaining journalistic integrity. What is that? It’s something to try to hide behind I think. There are few journalists by definition anymore. Most in the media business are “political provocateurs” and that’s okay. That’s what people want to hear. But there are some “journalist” who are the biggest defenders of journalistic integrity who have no integrity at all and are quick to find fault in others. I think we call that hypocrisy.

Sports And Sex – Open Air w/ Tom Remington

I never stop learning. Last night I learned why men play sports. Little did I know that it wasn’t about having fun, or learning how to work as a team, a sense of accomplishment, discipline, or even making money. No, playing sports for men is all symbolic of the sperm and the egg.

There’s A Time And A Teleprompter For Everything, Mr. President!

The President of the United States using a teleprompter, complete with official podium and Presidential Seal, is not quite appropriate for appearing in a 6th grade classroom in Virginia to talk about education. It’s awkward and it’s embarrassing….well, it’s embarrassing for me and it should be for the President and the White House. Maybe Barack Hussein could cancel a couple of his tee times and bring in a speech czar to teach him how to take thoughts and ideas from his brain and translate them onto his tongue.

I’m not suggesting the guy is stupid, although there has been some double standards, but this entire set up with his podium and teleprompter in a 6th grade classroom is pretty ridiculous. Who can take a person that does that seriously?

National Awareness Day For National Awareness Days

There are over 500 day, weeks or months of National Awareness. They range from month long awareness of candy and gay and lesbian history, to a day to recognize umbrellas and everything in between. So, do we set aside enough time to become aware of such things as the U.S. Constitution, the history of this great nation or those who fought and died so we could have Awareness Days?

It’s National Hat Day – Open Air w/ Tom Remington

January 15th is National Hat Day and what a better way to celebrate the day than with a parade of hats! Can’t say much for the model but at least the hats are interesting.

Buy Global Warming Insurance – Open Air w/Tom Remington

*Editor’s Note:* Within minutes of recording this show, the construction crews moved in outside my office hammering and drilling. I apologize if there are distracting noises.

The Heritage Foundation is warning people, particularly corporations to not buy global warming insurance. Even as a member I have to disagree. I think everyone should buy it and I’ll tell you how we can use the money and time of the insurance companies to do away with the nonsense of man-made climate change fear mongering.

Schnitt Show link to the list of global warming stories.

Half Man – Half Goat? Open Air W/ Tom Remington

From out of Turkey comes the story of a still-born goat fetus that appears to have the head of a man and the body of a goat. Can this be real? Is it biologically possible? Photoshopped picture?

After seeing something like this, it makes we wonder if we might need to make room for such things as “RoXXXy” the sex robot.

“RoXXXy” The Sex Robot

Man has invented “Roxxxy” the sex robot. I think that’s only fitting considering the direction this country is headed. But what’s scary is they intend to replicate a real personality for this robot. My God, think of the possibilities.
I considered a better use for Roxxy. It seems that her only function is to please a man sexually. She can’t be too bright, can’t walk and is lazy as all get out. That automatically qualifies her for a job in Congress or maybe even the White House.

I should have posted the picture of this sexxxy, no dish washing, no vacuuming, faux sex robot. Couldn’t they have done better? Which really prompted to me to question just what kind of a real personality they would try to “recreate” to give “Roxxxy”.

The “Undiebomber” And The Fool On The Hill

A fool who lived alone in a cabin on the hillside, was too stupid to understand that when your roof leaks, the remedy is to plug the hole. The “Undiebomber”, I prefer “Pantybomber” got on a plane with explosives. Just like the fool on the hill, our leaders don’t know how to plug the hole.

We Need A “More Sophisticated Understanding” Of Coyote Management

In Maine’s debate about what to do about predator control, some towns and local sporting clubs have started up coyote hunting contests in hopes of helping to save a deer or two. In places the deer herd is beyond serious trouble, it’s become unsustainable and will be extirpated. The contests have stirred up protests from the usual groups. The Bangor Daily News today in an editorial said, “But a more sophisticated understanding of the role coyotes play in the ecosystem is overdue.”

Just what does that mean? Watch and listen and find out.

Benoit Brothers Trophy Buck Tracking School 2006

Back in 2006 me and photographer Milt Inman journeyed to Allagash Maine to film and cover the Benoit Brothers who were putting on a deer tracking school. The following is a short collection of some of the original video I shot during the weekend event. There’s a lot of story telling and some target shooting as well. The first part of the video is an explanation about the school and the videos you’ll see.

Have Yourself A Merry Christmas

Look what I dug up out of the mothballs! I found the original video of the Christmas song, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, and adorned it with a new “Open Air” intro. Couldn’t do much about the performance itself though. And that guy singing. Man he was quite a bit thinner than he is today.

Have fun with it and have a Merry Christmas.

Grading Myself, Four Horsemen, Banks, Person Of The Year

I figured that if President Obama can grade himself (solid B+), I might as well grade myself. In Copenhagen, protesters showed up dressed as the Four Horsemen described in the Bible, even riding on horses claiming that their conquest, war, famine and death would happen if we didn’t do something about global warming. We have control over the 4 Horsemen? Obama wants the banks to pay us taxpayers back by doing the same thing that got them into trouble the first time. And, a list of the 5 finalists for Time Magazines, Person of the Year.
