I disagree with the clothing bit, but otherwise you hit the nail on the head with Sarah Palin.
Good God. It's been two months since the election and i still can't believe what all of that was about.
When McCain gave his concession speech, and the camera panned to Palin, my excitement for Barack Obama was interrupted by, "Sweet Jesus! You are no longer politically relevant!!!"
I shudder at the thought that she was so close to the second highest office in the most powerful country in the world. Had McCain won,. the US would have been an even bigger embarassment, and that's saying a lot.
Oh Dear Lord, I thought I was alone in my utter contempt for all things Nancy Grace. Hallelujah, I am not! When she was on CourtTV I used to pray that Rikki Klieman would jump over the desk and start wailing on her. Alas, instead she was promoted to prime time. She is Bill O'Reilly after gender reassignment surgery.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for cheering up a pretty miserable week.
chez you are a bitter, bitter man. but very funny.
Totally brilliant. I should have cried in despair at each and every one of the 10 (plus "honorable" mentions), but instead I couldn't help laughing at the wit and insight. Maybe there's still hope for America after all with writers like you, Chez. Great work.
P.S. Your "Andy" use was Wow! He'd be proud.
