Pennsylvania has hunters, ethical hunters who are not the idle rich aerially gunning down animals, facilitated by Palin in Alaska nor the Dick Cheney and John Cornyn (senator from Texas) kind. Cornyn and Cheney in Rolling Rock killed over 400 birds in 1 day, birds raised in cages and released in nets directly in fromt of them. (text/plain)

CODDLING OF PALIN IS FALSE FEMINISM, DISGUISED SEXISM, AND RIGHT-WING ANTI-WORKING-WOMEN Ruth Rubinstein 2008-09-10 4:48 AM
The call of so-called feminists to coddle Palin is really disguised sexism and based on a medieval, male-chauvinist mentality that women are weak and fragile and should be protected. We don’t need an American Margaret Thatcher, an icon and poster child for right-wing policies that harm poor and middle-class working women, the majority of women. It’s time to expose Palin for what she really is. (text/plain)

Pit Bulls and Lipstick Randy Redbull 2008-09-10 3:11 AM
I have to admit that I have never actually seen a pig putting on lipstick. I guess it was because pigs had a hard time holding lipstick in their hooves, and the fact that their species never adapted to the manufacture and sale of mirrors for self-conscious assessment? But a pit bull with lipstick? What are we to think of such a shocking metaphor—that is of a hockey mom equating to a pit bull? Or why do moms continue to where lipstick after getting married anyway?

Update: The Criminal Corruption and Animal Cruelty of Gov. Sarah Palin ARC 2008-09-04 10:44 PM

Perhaps after you read this file, you will feel as my friends and I feel, that Sarah Palin was fasttracked from a mayor's job in a 4600 resident town to the governor's chair, coached in everything she said or did, and prepared to be a neocon candidate on the national stage...all in 2 years time. Vote fraud could have defeated her Democratic opponent. All of this occurred as the neocon dominated FBI was investigating Senator Stevens. Certainly Murkowski defeated governor and Stevens had corrupt offices, but the orchestration of the chorus for Palin by oil prostitutes Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others was it seems planned. "That most dangerous of all classes: the wealthy criminal class" wrote President Theodore Roosevelt of plutocrats and their pawns. (image/jpeg + 14 comments)
