I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
good morning.
Happy 4th
Where are you all?
[shrugs] Have a nice day.
The Formula One commercial rights holder, Bernie Ecclestone, has stoked up controversy by claiming that Adolf Hitler was a man who "was able to get things done", that democracy has not worked out for Britain and that his colleague Max Mosley would make a good Prime Minister.

It's also a problem for Sarah Palin, since the FY2010 budget she presented back in January was all predicated on oil being $74 a barrel.
FY 2010 in Alaska began July 1.
Big mystery why Sarah took a powder, the shit's about to hit Alaska's fiscal fan.
One company's debt is another company's asset. So it's a win-win?

The (Palin) administration is basing its 2010 budget on the hope that the price of oil will average $74.41 beginning next July and through the fiscal year. Taxes on oil represent ninety cents out of every dollar the state collects.
I can't believe this isn't even mentioned among the MSM. Okay, well, maybe I can...

Hey, if Vitter & Craig can survive much more sordid scandals with nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders, Sanford should have it easy.
I've got Wimbledon on now!
So, to recap:
Sarah Palin's resignation speech indicates that:
1) she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown
2) she's on meth
or
3) she was rushing to get through it because she knows a major scandal is coming momentarily.

Oh bullshit. You have no idea how many people voted in spite of her, against Obama, for McCain, or whatever. I know of several who "held their noses" but couldn't vote for Obama. And I know just as many if not more who were so offended at her even being on the ticket that they switched parties.

As stated yesterday, it seemed to me she was trying to get through it before the networks put her in a 2-shot with Steve Schmidt.
And I obviously thought myself clever for saying it.
I was certainly an under-rehearsed speech.

I listened to a bit of the audio of Sanford's "confession",and the narcissism fairly blares through. There are sniffles in the audio, but there are no sniffles in his voice. Totally fake.
This is odd. Two sets and championship point.
This review of 'Methland', a study of Oelwein, Iowa by Nick Reding, an investigative reporter, is well worth reading:
The agricultural conglomerates that have gobbled up Oelwein and similar farm towns may feed the world, but they starve the folks who work for them, breeding a craving for synthetic stimulants that conveniently sap the appetite while enlarging the body’s capacity for toil. These offal-streaked Dickensian mills are also magnets for desperate immigrant laborers who, in some cases, blaze the smuggling trails that run up into the Corn Belt from Mexico, home to the gang lords who own the superlabs that, increasingly, dominate the meth trade.
“Vicious cycle” is not an adequate term. As Reding painstakingly presents it, the production, distribution and consumption of methamphetamine is a self-catalyzing catastrophe of Chernobylish dimensions. The rich, with their far-off, insulated lives, get richer and more detached, while the poor get high and, finally, wasted. In the meanwhile, the traffickers fatten in their dens, expanding their arsenals and their private armies, some of whose troops are recruited from the ranks of the pale zombies their business spawns.

So here’s a little Palin primer on energy and climate:
McCain VP Palin is a global-warming-denying, polar-bear-dissing, Pat Buchanan acolyte
Protecting polar bears gets in way of drilling for oil, says governor [Palin]
Palin’s axis of evil animals: Beluga whales join polar bears and wolf cubs
Must see ad: Palin “champions … savagery”
Palin does not even know basics of Alaska energy
Palin in debate STILL gets global warming backwards and repeats Big Energy Lie twice
Palin on CBS: “I’m not going to solely blame all of man’s activities on changes in climate.” Seriously.
Sarah Palin is the fungible candidate
It’s quite ironic she’s known as Sarah Barracuda — given that her positions, if adopted at a national level, would wipe out most ocean life, especially those that tend to dwell around reefs (see Ocean dead zones to expand, “remain for thousands of years”).
But is she going to go national?

We talk a lot about zombie banks, etc. here, but for my part, what I think we need to do more than anything else is to deal with is our zombie public. The institutions still exist for them to hold our representatives accountable for their actions. The problem is that the media-industrial complex is continually spewing Soma gas at them while refusing to give the microphone to anybody who really wants to explain to them what is being done.

Sarah Palin, the Republican Alaska governor who captivated the nation with a combative brand of folksy politics, announced her resignation yesterday in characteristic fashion: She stood on her back lawn in Wasilla, speaking into a single microphone, accompanied by friends and neighbors in baseball hats and polo shirts.
Frankly, I hope Palin's soon-to-be-disclosed problem is run-of-the-mill corruption, and not something sordid. Her poor family doesn't need this shit...
