Sarah Palin is one of those people who thinks their shit smells like cinnamon rolls. In her mind she can't do anything wrong, which I kind of admire cause I'm the exact opposite. However as a public figure and servant of the people its an awful attitude to have, good riddance to her. I hope this move keeps her in the realm of the bat-shit insane politicians; the ones nobody respects regardless of their party affiliation and are only good for a few laughs.

As for the actual reasons I can think of a few.
1.A new scandal is brewing ans she's trying to avoid it, (probably the most popular at the moment).
2.She some how thinks this will help her run for president in 2012.
3.She sees Alaska going down the crapper and is trying to get out before the blame can be pinned on her.
4. She's afraid of getting crushed in the next gubernatorial election, (I understand Alaskans are none too happy with her at the moment)

There are two wars, serious issues in Iran currently, the economy is in the crapper depending which company you work for, North Korea is apparently trying to see if Japan and the U.S. can shoot down medium range missiles or rather create fire works that could lead to a confrontation, lots of severe weather recently across the U.S., the Republican Party will soon be ordering massive amounts of Lithium for their' Senators, Congressmen, and the party's supporters; Rush already has his stuff - it's not Lithium though; and the LA Lakers won the NBA Championship...

Yet, Republicans are worried about some joke, that they never even saw; *but they did get the email from their cousin Jeremy who had talked a week ago to an old friend from college that was in the "young republicans student organization" with him, and his friend told him that the GOP fundraising committee in Florida had sent out an email to contributors (he's one) that linked them to Rush Limbaugh's page which then showed him the current liberal attack and he started spreading it to his contact list; he also made sure that every single person in his list forwarded it to everyone in their contact list (He also wrote up a small summary so nobody had to go look up the information which is hard to do with computers in their current form. Hell, if you leave MSN or Excite you always go to a German scat site with midget porn, or a page talking about Obama's and Clinton's accomplishments.) . SO, let it be known, David Letterman rapes people with his mouth.

* Untold truth behind Republicans secret intelligence gathering operations.

He is apparently an operative... check a few news articles and some posts which will without a doubt be appearing on the various video sites out there within the coming few days. Investigations are under way, and there is a lot of contradiction surrounding 'Joe'.

This guy has a huge dubious dark cloud hanging over him. He is not a licensed plumber though he does in fact have a plumbing business. He never was licensed, and contrary to his Facebook page, he NEVER was in the local 189 as he claims.

By the way.. his name isn't Joe. It is Samuel.

There is even a supposed accusation that he is related to an individual involved in the Keating 5 and Savings and Loan scandal which McCain was reprimanded by Congress for. I want to learn more about that reported connection to see if it actually has merit. If it does have merit, McCains run for the presidency will flush down the crapper faster than McCain can change his sanitary undergarments.

Quite ironic if a supposed plumber flushes a campaign down the toilet.

It just needs a fridge and a crapper so that I never have to get out of it. My Real Doll will be so pleased!

Eric,
Thanks for this post. Mental Illness is still not well understood in this country.
Sorry if I sound like Sanjay Gupta, but I feel compelled to comment on these medically related posts.

Contrary to the implication of the video, Major Depressive Illness is quite common. The life-time risk of having an episode is about 10% for men and 15-20% for women. My internal medicine buddies tell me they think about 1/3 of the patients they see every day in their office are having symptoms related to depression. Pain is very common, and it's not imagined, it's real. (We don't fully understand why depression intensifies pain) About 80% of patients with depression experience significant anxiety as well.

Antidepressant medications are marginally effective. SSRIs provoked mania in this lady, just like they did in me. My family tree is full of depression, and when mine hit at age 40 I went on SSRIs. MAJOR anxiety, racing thoughts, and insomnia ensued.
We were more likely to have this reaction because we weren't suffering from typical unipolar depression, we had bipolar illness. Many people with bipolar illness don't have much in the way of manic spells. Many times the illness is primarily depressive. So many times the diagnosis is not made because the illness is atypical. I consider this a real risk of SSRIs.

Interestingly, the only pharmacist I personally know who developed major depression declined antidepressants based on what she knew about their side-effects and efficacy.

So what does work? If it's a mild case, I would be hesitant about antidepressants, just eat right, get sleep, exercise out in the sun, and quit obsessing about conflict.
If it's a bad major depression, you need help and you need to see a professional. The normal course of a major depression is 6 to 9 months. That's a long time to be in the crapper, believe you me. Don't let people scare you away from getting treatment. There are options other than meds.

That's it, society has completely gone down the crapper!

LYRICS:
I got this little kitty about 2 months back
he was the nicest little kitty, now a pain in my crack
This little kitty is a ninja, always stalking my feet
This little kitty is a warrior you know what I mean

he's an evil little kitty look what he did to my hand
tries to get in trouble in any way that he can
I could give this cat a toy, but he'd rather have the wrapper
and I will always give him water, but he still drinks from the crapper

You could lock him in a closet and he just won't care
kitty chews on my shoes and he licks my hair
always scratching on my favorite chair and jumping on the couch
playing in the window sills and tearing through the house

He's so full of energy and easily amused
kitty will attack anything that moves
Causing trouble, starting battles just so he could be a little part of
he's a meanest little kitty so we named him sparta

Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite

Where'd you go
are you stalking me?
are you under the couch, quite possibly
ears laid back so you don't get caught
ready to pounce my leg with everything that you got

I know you're probably watching me from across the room
concentrating contemplating on attacking me soon
You're not invisible kitty, I'm gonna find you first
Come out come out before I make things worse

I've seen where you hide and I know where you've been
Hey kitty why don't you give in
Even if you try to sneak up on me, I'm prepared
Cause I've got my safety gear on and I'm not scared

I think I hear a kitty cat under the bed
I know your making noises just to mess with my head
You can stalk me all you want, but I'm not your pray
cause you always seem to find me first, but not today

Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
Come on out, I'm gonna get you now

I've got 'em cornered
and now he's mine
He's not gonna get away this time
I'll snatch him up fast before he can blink and then...
Aw man! He's asleep in the sink

What is with this cat? I'm confused
He's got a bed, but it's never been used
In every waking moment, kitty's out for the fight
then [fart] next minute kitty's out like a light

How could I let this creature live inside of my home
I gotta keep an eye on him when I'm on the phone
I'm a little afraid to leave this cat all alone
this kitty may destroy everything that I own

Look at him now, I kinda feel bad
He's the best little cat that I've had
and the one big thing I forgot to mention, was that
He wasn't fighting, he just wanted attention

Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
showing love, that's all this kitty does

Great pranks, although I don't understand who the hell came up with that model of a crapper. Not that I haven't seen them before, but they still strike me as stupid =)

ARE YOU INSANE? GORE? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? What do you think Gore would have done after 9/11? Oh wait, you all LIKE what happened. You LIKE the people who pulled it off. Oh wait, Gore CARES about the environment. He could have saved us all from global warming. So far, Islam has killed more people than the climate.

PS: Mohammed cartoon = Hilarious and true.

Also I soaked a Koran with pig blood and flushed it down the crapper earlier. Oops.
