This was an actual ad on Craigslist today:

Looking for a Sarah Palin lookalike for an adult film to be shot in next 10 days.   Major adult studio.  Please send pix, stats etc. ASAP  Pay: $2000-3000 No anal required.

Now.  The fact that porn studios are putting out a call for Sarah Palin lookalikes doesn’t surprise me, that was inevitable.  (Remember how hot the Geraldine Ferraro porn from the 80’s was?)  The part that has had me laughing loudly every time I explain it is that I’m sure this was written in complete earnestness.  “No Anal Required” is completely true and relevant in this context.  But if this is from a “major adult studio” as advertised, it means they are filthy rich and probably have capable employees; possibly highly educated ones.  All day I have been imaging a young man with an MBA typing the words no anal required.  Did he giggle?  Is he totally desensitized?

At the office we are in the process of finding a replacement for our office manager.  It is taking every iota of professionalism in my being to not put out this ad:

Leading content producing skateboard website looking for an Office Manager with at least 2-3 years experience.  Must be proficient in Microsoft Office, have excellent communication skills and own your own car.  Web design, Graphic design or Video editing skills a plus.  No anal required.

Or, little-to-no anal required.

Great sign for us when even “Fair & Balanced” Fox news polls are showing Obama as the winner of the debate.  In case you can’t read it, it reads:  Obama 69%, McCain 31%.  I highly doubt this poll will show up on any of their television broadcasts.

Fingers crossed.

What in the hell is this woman talking about?  She sounds like a nervous teenager.

John McCain in front of Walter Reed Middle School.  Oops.  Republicans aren’t so good with the details.

So glad the lying and fear-mongering convention is over.  The first 5 minutes of Sarah Palin’s speech was pretty good, and had me worried.  But she deviated into being a dickhead for the last 25 minutes.  Rudy Giuliani is a cocksucker.  That little “performance” he put on making fun of liberals was ridiculous, but it was the only time he sounded mildly intelligent.  Maybe he should act like a liberal more often.

Please don’t let these people in again.  Please.

-She was elected Alaska’s governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage.

-She has no foreign policy experience.Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

-She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000.

-Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.

-She doesn’t think humans are the cause of climate change.

-She sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.

Since John McCain is 128 years-old, it is very plausible that this woman could be president.   Issues like abortion are personal.  Though I happen to be pro-choice, I can certainly see things through a pro-life perspective, but the “not even rape or incest” part is a little ridiculous.  No comment on creationism.  And at this point you just have to be an uninformed buffoon to not think that our lifestyles and human beings has caused climate change.  I know you are a creationist, but please pay at least a little attention to scientists.

Supporting Pat Buchanan is really never forgivable.

“Aspirational Time Horizon”

Why is the President making jokes about things like this in front of world leaders?  Just when I think he can’t get any worse, he totally raises his own bar of lowdom.

It makes us all look like fucking idiots, because we kind of elected this guy.  Seriously, almost no one I know thinks environmental issues are a fucking joke.  And I certainly don’t.

To the rest of the world:  Only 19% of our country supports this moron, please don’t let his stupidity be the measure to which we are judged.

Mac’s appearance was Obama’s first celebrity event of the evening. Later at a Lincoln Park nightclub, Obama spoke to a raucous crowd of music fans, who paid up to $500 per person to see a performance by Wilco lead singer Jeff Tweedy, and two other band members.

“Before these guys go, I want them to know that I had heard a rumor that they had suggested that I had nothing by them on my iPod,” Obama said. “That is not true. I love Wilco.”
