The Stupid Sara Palin “Tanning Bed-Gate” Story

Just my comments on this rather idiotic story…

Quote:

Sarah Palin brought one unusual accessory to the Alaska Governor’s mansion after moving in last year: A tanning bed.
Al Giordano’s NarcoNews first reported that Palin had the apparatus installed in the mansion in Juneau, and a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Roger Wetherell, confirmed the account to Politico.
[…]
It does get awful dark up there in Alaska, but health authorities like the American Cancer Society generally frown on tanning beds as cancer risks.
The McCain-Palin campaign didn’t have an immediate comment on the purchase

While at the outset this might seem to be a outrage and may make people want to reconsider voting for McCain, But there’s one little problem with the whole scandal.

“She paid for it with her own money,” Wetherell said in an email.

So, as far as I am concerned, this is a non-story.

I mean, I am all for bringing out stories of corruption, mismanagement, and the fact that McCain is on the wrong end of the many issues facing this country at the moment. This is just not one of those kind of stories.

Chalk this one up as a rather stupid story that made it into the MSM.

Photos of the day….

This picture is one of the most beautiful Churches in the World.

It is, in fact, the interior of the Mood Church in Chicago, Ill.

D.L. Moody never preached here. But it was a place where people off all Faiths could come worship.

Sad News: Pink Floyd Founder Member Richard Wright has died

This awfully sad story via The New York Times:

LONDON (AP) — Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group Pink Floyd, died Monday. He was 65.
Pink Floyd’s spokesman, Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member’s family did not want to give more details about his death.
Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason in college and joined their early band, Sigma 6. Along with the late Syd Barrett, the four formed Pink Floyd in 1965.
The group’s jazz-infused rock and drug-laced multimedia ”happenings” made them darlings of the London psychedelic scene, and their 1967 album, ”The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,” was a hit.
In the early days of Pink Floyd, Wright, along with Barrett, was seen as the group’s dominant musical force. The London-born musician and son of a biochemist wrote songs and played the keyboard.
”Rick’s keyboards were an integral park of the Pink Floyd sound,” said Joe Boyd, a prominent record producer who worked with Pink Floyd early in its career.

This indeed is very sad news. I’ve listened to Pink Floyd for years.

Here’s a great video of theirs:

In case your wondering…

No, I didn’t fall into a hole. I fell asleep! 😀

I was up at around 4:30a.m. around 2:00p.m. or so, I laid down and took a nap….

….and what a nap it was…. WOW 😯 😮

It was one of them kind of naps, where you wake up with numb hand and slobber all over your face, sweating like a Democrat in a election.

In other words, I slept good.

But I’m back now. 😛

Looks like ol’ Juan McSame has basically shot his wad over at Faux Noise.

The Video:

Quote: (Via Think Progress) (anyone that doesn’t like it that I quoted them, can go fuck themselves..)

“Not on the middle class,” shot back Kelly, noting that “virtually every independent analyst” has said that the McCain campaign is lying:
KELLY: But you guys have suggested he’s going to raise taxes on the middle class and virtually every independent analyst
who took a look at that claim said that’s not true. He’ll raise it on people making $200,000 or $250,000, but not the middle class.
Bounds tried to push back by saying that Obama had voted to raise taxes in the past, but Kelly kept pushing Bounds to admit the McCain
campaign was lying. “If that’s false, why would John McCain do that, Tucker? Why wouldn’t he just level with the voters?” asked Kelly:
KELLY: Let’s stay on point, I’m not giving him any credit. I’m saying what the independent analysts say. They say that claim is false. And if that’s false, why would John McCain do that Tucker? Why wouldn’t he just level with the voters and say, “look, he’s going to raise taxes on the wealthy or whatever you consider somebody to be making over $250,000, it’s going to have a trickle down effect. That may not be good for the middle class.” But why say he’s going to raise taxes on the middle class when he’s not?

I don’t look for Juan McSame to last much longer, if he keeps this up. Oh Well, that’s what happens when you stiff your own party in favor of a platform of a reformer. Can’t say he doesn’t deserve it though. Thought he’d bring the moose bitch on and everything would be all rosey posey. Think again McSame, the Republican Party and the Conservatives have got your number.

Juan McSame is about as much of a Conservative as I am an atheist. His favor of amnesty is stuff of legend. He’s a Neo-Conservative Globalist, just like King George W.
