Willow Palin: Vote for my mommy... or else!
Sarah Palin drives a Zamboni to work.
Sarah Palin got Tom Brady pregnant, and then left him.
Sarah Palin is the only woman who can make Tony Romo WIN a playoff.
Sarah Palin’s presence in the lower 48 means the Arctic ice cap can finally return.
Hahaha.
Great stuff. More at Sarah Palin Facts.
H/T to Ace.
Rob Parrish @ SkySports:
The Premier League fixture compilers clearly have a wicked sense of humour, sending Liverpool to Aston Villa in the final match before the transfer window closes.
I hope Barry makes them regret they didn’t pony up and pay Villa’s asking price. Should be an interesting game.
How bout Zenit beating ManYoo in the SuperCup?? 2-1, baby.
As for my Gunners, it should be a great match. Hopefully the momentum from whomping McClaren’s Twente 4-0 will carry over to this weekend. Gallas and Walcott are reported to be back and Fabregas is sposed to be OK. Apparenly New Castle’s ranks are thinned a bit but nevertheless, Owen is always a threat.
C’mon Arsenal!!!!
I just heard on CNN her husband’s a fighter pilot and loves craps. Nope: Her husband’s an oil jockey and champion snowmobiler. I heard wrong; they were talking about McCain.
Niiice.

Was at a “T” interesection this morning en route to work (you know, where you get to a stop light and can only turn left or right).
Driver coming from my right was going to turn left. His light was RED.
He pulled out and STOPPED right in front of me (was it because the light was red and he was confused?), meanwhile, my light was GREEN.
I held the horn down and threw up my hands. “Whiskey…tango…”
He sat there waiting to complete his left turn, oblivious to the fact the car opposite of of him making a right turn had the YIELD sign (and the even more obvious fact I had the GREEN light).
He never reacted to me.
I couldn’t help but to recall Carlos Mencia’s skit on Asian drivers. To paraphrase:
“Asians. You are some of the smartest, most talented, brilliant, gifted minded people in the world. You excel as a people in areas of math and science and technology that other people can only hope to match. BUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS TO YOU BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!!!”
heh.
Hey, I can make an Asian joke. I have Asian friends. That’s my excuse. (OK, well, I have one.)
Kinda like when whites say they can make black jokes because they have black friends. “Hey, I have lots of black friends like… um…Charlie my mailman…and uh… this guy on my floor frosh yea of college and.. uh.”
Just stop right there.
Jack Wallen at TechRepublic’s blog “10 Things”: 10 fundamental differences between Linux and Windows
Some see the fanaticism as the same college-level hoorah that keeps Linux in the basements for LUG meetings and science projects. But I beg to differ. [. . .] Windows does not have these same fans. Instead, Windows has a league of paper-certified administrators who believe the hype when they hear the misrepresented market share numbers reassuring them they will be employable until the end of time.
hahahaha.
Pvt. Nathan Z. Thacker
18 years old from Greenbrier, Arkansas
2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment,
1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division
October 12, 2007
Pvt. Nathan Z. Thacker had only been in the country for two weeks before his death, according to the soldier’s father, Stephen Thacker.
Thacker’s father said his son felt a duty to enlist. “He said it was his job. Even after he got his orders that he was going over there, he said it’s his job.”
Thacker had attended Guy-Perkins High School in Guy, Arkansas. He earned his GED in 2006, his father said. Thacker enlisted in the Army in April 2007 and completed his training at Fort Benning, Ga. He arrived at Fort Drum in August 2007. His honors include the Purple Heart.
“Nathan was an excellent man,” sister Sabrina Black said. “He loved me, I loved him, and I’d give anything to have him back.”
Pvt. Thacker was killed when an IED was detonated near his vehicle near Kirkuk. Three other soldiers were injured in the attack.
Pvt. Thacker is survived by his parents, siblings and his grandfather.
