    It's official: Rahm Emanuel will be Obama's chief of staff.

    Interesting.

    Has anyone seen those hideous National Review commercials today? "As Congress leaned left, get it right, before liberal democrats raise your taxes." *vomit*

    OT

    After reading the Newsweek article I have one burning question--what charitable organization is going to get the Palin wardrobe? Apparently Mrs Palin was quite the shopper. Some organization is/should get a big donation, which should include a $300 baby stroller.

    The Aryan Bitch's favorite consignment store will get them for resale, of course: Out of the Closet (sic). Proceeds to go to the Palin Charitable Foundation...

    I particularly liked this from the Newsweek piece:

    An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

    I can't help but wonder whether the powers-that-be in the Republican party deliberately scuttled McCain with those Wasilla hillbillies. He wasn't one of "them."
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    I just started laughing when I read that line, mostly because I always thought of Palin as a "hillbilly".

    I don't understand what these maps/numbers are.

    What an interesting map! I get it about how nobody visited from China and too bad about Greenalnd but what's that tiny blank country in Europe next to Mother Russia that nobody visited from?

    Here's a fun map. 3 guys from Iceland asking people from all over the world to vote on their website for the American president. http://www.iftheworldcouldvote.com
    Final results
    Barack Obama 87.3% (758,041 votes)
    John McCain 12.7% (110,103 votes)

    Total number of votes: 868,144
    Countries voted from: 213

    I want to know what the 52 regions are on that USA map. I mean there are 50 states, and DC, which doesn't look discernible on the map, but that only makes 51 regions. Puerto Rico's not on the map...

    Oh, that tiny country is Belarus and is about the size of Kansas in land area.
