Political Poop '08

Thieves tried to break into Sarah Obama’s (Barack Obama’s paternal grandmother) house on Wednesday (September 10, 2008). They never gained access even though they tried the doors, which had been locked, and finally climbed on the roof with a ladder.
"I just spoke to Sarah, and she's OK," Barack's uncle said on Thursday. "The police have been there since yesterday, and we're not worried. Everything is fine." Source
Good to hear Mama Sarah is ok. Something tells me she woulda been ok. Old black women are NOT to be messed with. My Granny Beth, God rest her soul, was like a friggin ninja warrior with her cane. She could poke out both your eyes and separate your sternum in one move.

More Poop…

The above is a clip of Senator John McCain on “The View”. McCain says something that causes concern in Whoopie and Barbara responds with:
“Us White Folk Will Take Care of You”
Please watch the video in its entirety so you can gather the context. Then we’ll sigh in indignation together. All that keeps ringing over and over again in my head is that line from The Color Purple when Miss Millie says, “Your children are so clean! Would you like to be my maid?” (Insert southern racist accent…and yes, there is such a thing as a racist accent).

Still More Poop… Many people think of Michelle Obama as the fashionista of Decision ’08 but Sarah Palin is nipping at her heals. Her hair-do is so popular with American women that wig sellers and hairstylists are bombarded with requests for help to look like her.
A wig supplier, Wigsalon.com, has been promoting a range of Palin-style wigs and hair pieces.
But it’s not just about the hair, Italee Optics, the US distributor of Mrs. Palin's frames made by Kazuo Kawasaki, has run out of supplies after orders more than quadrupled since the Republican National Convention.
"We began hearing from our authorized dealers and they wanted to stock multiple pairs of the exact same frame and style and color that she had," said Amy Hahn, the distributor's vice-president. Source This is like the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. I thought doing it ‘Sarah Palin Style” meant shootin’ me some vermin and fryin’ up a bunny burger on the grill.
