Or Teddy Roosevelt. Hell all our money should have teddy on it.
Teddy really deserves to be on something.
We should invent a coin for him.
Provided whatever you put him on doubles as a tool an outdoorsman can use (I'm thinking combination three-cent piece/carabiner) I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
If we replace Grant with anyone it should be Wilson. Dude doesn't get enough credit.
I could get behind this.

No I haven't gone soft. It's just very hard to remain serious in the face of this farce of a politician/celebrity. Here's her analysis of the president's and Bob Gates' marginal recalibration of US nuclear policy:
"It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. No administration in America's history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today. It's kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face and I'm not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.'
Seriously. We're supposed to take this seriously? Then we get this far-right conspiracy theory:
"Steps towards insolvency. Steps towards socialism with some of their programs."
The insolvency reference is clearly designed to echo the far right theory that for some reason Obama wants to bankrupt the US in order to take over the entire economy and run it like the Soviet Union's. Obama was trapped into responding. But there is no response to this kind of, well, playground taunts. Which, of course, is why they're effective.
And so you return to the Palin conundrum. The sheer crudeness of her rhetoric, the vast ignorance it champions, and the charisma of a beautiful white woman rallying heartland male voters against commie evil is a combination it's simply impossible to grapple with effectively.
She can plagiarize Slate writers in a stream of consciousness at the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Convention, and chirpily host a clip show, and headline Tea Party events with writing on her hand ... and somehow remain a credible figure, getting world-weary, post-everything encomiums from the likes of David Carr. And the sane WTF response - how does one do otherwise? - simply feeds the Palin media machine.
That's why I remain so concerned about her and what her future candidacy for president could do to this country and the world.
I read today that Huckabee probably won't be running.
That's too bad.
I enjoy him so much more than Romney. I bet the fight between he and Palin would have been hilarious.
Palin: <meaningless tautology, "dontchaknow">
Huckabee: <big smile, urge for everyone to be nice to one another>
Palin: <rebuttal employing blatant torturing of facts, "youbetcha">
Huckabee: <big smile, appeal to populism>

Huckabee: <big smile, deeply horrifying suggestion, disarming chuckle>
Man, I would pay money for that.

On the one hand, a concentrated effort to reveal her as a complete fuckwit would be the only sensible course of action for the primary candidates. On the other hand, it would be dangerous if LimBeckAnnity decide to denounce anyone who crosses her, and I doubt any current potentials have that much spine.

I wonder, if by some crazy chance she grabs the nomination, if she'll still claim Obama doesn't have any experience.
All answers point towards yes. And we've already seen she'd counter the quitter talking point with him quitting the senate.
That was just some random commenter.
On energy policy, she said "the left has waged a multi-front war on conventional resources." Palin dismissed the president's decision to open up some offshore areas for drilling, saying, "they banned more offshore drilling than they allowed." She said the administration had purposely built a delay into opening the areas "to give environmentalists more time to sue."
"Let's drill, baby, drill, not stall, baby, stall," said Palin.
She said the president had opened up drilling in certain areas to help win support for his energy policy, but that he is "not going to find bipartisanship down there."
Palin argued that the president is "trying to play both sides against the middle" and is pushing a policy that will "destroy jobs and impose a new national tax on energy on all of us."
o_O
Ugggh, the gall of this woman. That entire statement is nothing but hyperbolic, through your teeth lies. How is it possible she's till taken seriously?
If you bitch about offshore drilling, than Obama tries to kickstart some, and then bitch even more, it makes it look like sour grapes republicans. Sure the 15% core of radicalized tea baggers eat that shit up, and obviously the media too since teabaggers generate clicks, but the rest of this country won't. Tea baggers are a shrinking demographic of white people, whites will be minority in a less than 10 years, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Huckabee is way scarier than Palin; I'm glad he's sitting this one out.
Palin on her own is more than enough entertainment for me.
Huckabee has some pretty wacky principles that he (I presume) is very devoted to, so I can see how he could be viewed as scary. On the other hand, Palin seemingly has no problem saying or doing whatever strikes her as a politically beneficial in the heat of the moment with no reflection on how it might play out. I've yet to see any evidence that she has any strong principles out side of "rarr liberals bad," and she is one of the key leaders of the cut-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face crowd.
Huckabee is at least a predictable kind of wacky. Who the fuck knows what Palin would do as head of the nation.

I really really hope she runs and does some kind of town hall nearby. I will make it my mission to ask her if she supports "revoking the nineteenth amendment, which clearly runs counter to the Founder's original intent and effectively reduces the political power of half the country, and was only put into place after years of weasling by the most progressive elements of the day after their appeals to state-level courts and legislatures failed in a blatant attempt to force their agenda upon a populace which did not care about their message, and which was passed by a margin of a single vote."

In fact, good people on both sides of the message that we have to take a whole a change in leadership in order to, get to go running every day, which is my sanity.
Oh, absolutely.

So in a Palin vs. Obama matchup, what do you guys think the electoral/popular vote makeup will be.
Obama will of course blow her out of the fucking water, but we can have fun figuring out the odds.
I don't know and don't really care, but I'll spend the hours and hours...and hours it'll take combing the "Where does the GOP go from here?" thread(s) we had after 2008 and collect everyone who said that Palin running in 2012 will NEVER EVER happen
And I will laugh
Oh I will laugh long and hard
But then I'll be sad because what the fuck, America
Okay, yes I do care :P I fully expect it to be 1984 but for Dems. I also expect Obama to get > 60% of the popular vote, and Palin to get < 30%

Yeah, I was going to say... before the spoiler edit. I mean, Obama already has, according to gallup, 50 approval rating, and that's without any campaigning or funding. Palin, last polling I saw, was something like 30. According to the Research 2000 polls the GOP in general is about 27.
Palin running? Not a deal. Palin winning the primary? Hilarious proof that the GOP has reeeeeeeeeeeeally gone off the deep end. Palin winning the presidency? Only if "double digits" counts as good polling.

She needs three translators. Palinglish > Maverickese > English > Whatever.
...that explains it. That's the whole thing.
She's not talkin' English the way people do. She has to put it through three different online translation engines and then has someone spell it out phonetically on her cue cards, papers, and hand. We're mocking this poor woman when it's just the fault of incompetent translators.
Actually I hope Palin does get a chance to run against Obama. That way we can see how many stone cold crazy people live and vote in the US. It would also give me a chance to figure out which people I associate with I should never attempt a political conversation with.
I love whenever the Newt wagon picks up steam for a bit until someone remembers the horrible, terrible earth shattering skeletons in his closet that ended the "permanent moral majority" for good.
