Changes to my Blogroll with a short explanation.

It is with a heavy heart that I remove Bree Palin from my blogroll. As many of you know Bree has closed down her site and is working on a big project that requires her full attention. She did NOT get chased off or threatened (as was the case with Audrey) so do not worry about her. Bree became one of my confidants and we e-mailed each other and shared information often. (I shared the picture of the ruffled ear baby with her at least two months before I posted it. THAT is how much I trusted her!) I will very much miss seeing her blog on the left side of my page when I log onto my computer every morning. And I am confident most of you will too. As for the second change to my blogroll the reasons are entirely different. For many months now I have been receiving complaints about one of the contributors to this site. From accusations that they were passing themselves off as an Alaskan blogger, to charges that they were harassing people, to their habit of leaving comments on other blogger’s sites in an attempt to hijack the thread, the complaints have numbered at least one or two a week for months now. Yet I have resisted taking them off my blogroll because they have done some fine work and I like having as many people working on revealing Palin’s lies as possible. But yesterday was the final straw. I learned yesterday that threats were made to one of my very best friends. The threat was not physical but it was a hurtful attempt to get undeserved credit for their hard work. For me that was it! The reason that I have received so many complaints is because there has been an assumption that I support this site and that we are working together. We are not! Developing trust on the blogosphere is very tricky indeed. There are a lot of people who say they are your friend and then stab you in the back. I have been blessed with some of the best friends that you can imagine (and yes Bree is one of them), but this person betrayed my trust a very long time ago and, though they were on my blogroll, they were never in my confidence. Now I am certainly not telling anybody WHO they should visit on the internet and I hope that you continue to give them your support if you like their work, but I will no longer be allowing any comments which link to them or talk about stories on their site to be posted in my comments section. And before this person decides on retaliation for my decision, I would remind them that I did NOT mention them by name, and that I left out a ton of details that I am sure they do not want revealed. I know this will upset and confuse a number of you and I apologize, I hope that you trust I did not make this decision lightly and that it is one which is long overdue. I will not be adding any more clarification to this post so please do not ask for it. Now that this unsavory business is behind us I need to focus on interviews for next week’s stories. Happy surfing my friends! The quest continues.

Shannyn is going to have Michael Stinson on her show today!

I just got off of the phone with Shanny and she told me she will have Michael Stinson on at around 11:15 Alaska time. For those of you just joining us Stinson was the guy who posted that Palin’s Tonight Show performance was not exactly the home run we were led to believe that it was. Anyhow I will post the podcast later this afternoon, but if you want to hear it live just click here and give it a listen. It should be quite informative.

Jon Stewart demonstrates dismay that the Senate Democrats lack the balls to stand up to one cantankerous old GOP fart.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Senate After Dark http://www.thedailyshow.com/ Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Health Care Reform I hate to be all petty and partisan, but am I the only one who thinks Senator Jim Bunning is a giant dick? And does anybody really believe he is a “stand alone dick”? Because I am pretty sure he emerged from some smoke filled Senate backroom where Republicans get together to decide how to slow down the Democratic agenda at every turn after being told that since he was on his way out of the Senate he needed to “take one for the team” and act like a complete asshole while his GOP comrades acted all innocent and confused. “What? Senator Bunning is blocking this vote? Why, whatever would possess him to do such a thing? I swear I cannot imagine.”

Keith Olbermann shares the very personal story of his father’s battle for life and destroys the myth of "death panels" once and for all.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy I cannot tell you how impressive I find Keith’s unselfish decision to share this incredibly painful episode in his life with his viewers. As much as he is personally suffering he still realizes that what he is going through gives him a unique perspective that will help others understand the truth behind the Republican lies and obfuscation.

Teabagger convention speaker, and out of the closet racist, Tom Tancredo does not love Sarah Palin anymore.

In an interview with NRC Handelsblad, he (Tancredo) talked about the Tea Party movement, senator John McCain and Sarah Palin, the former vice-presidential candidate and a heroine of the movement. After her speech at the Nashville convention, Palin said she is considering a run for the presidency in 2012. Tancredo however, does not believe she is fit for the presidency. “I really don’t have this feeling about her as being presidential,” he Tancredo said. “I don’t know what it is exactly. I don’t know if the issues really are that difficult for her or not.” He questions if she has what it takes, and whether she really wants it. “As governor of the state of Alaska, she doesn’t have all that kind of experience. She can get better. But I don’t know if she is really looking to do it.’’ It could all be a commercial thing, just a way to sell books? “Sure. Make a lot of money and stay in the mix. I think that’s a great idea.’’ John McCain has brought over his former running mate to campaign for him in Arizona, where the Tea Party movement is challenging his seat in the Senate. She will campaign against J.D. Hayworth, a friend of yours who is on your side in the immigration debate. What does that tell you about Palin? “That tells me she is a Republican. I am not. I mean, I am a member of that party and that will always stay that way. But to me it’s only a mechanism, a way to get on the ballot and all that. But she is a real Republican.’’ She has to do this to rise in the party ranks? “I think so.’’ So she is just as much an unprincipled politician as all the rest of them? “To a large extent.’’ And you still love her? “I didn’t say that!’’ Well, in your Tea Party speech you pointed out that she could finally say all those wonderful things now she’s free from McCain. “I said: ‘Now she can tell it like it is.’ And she chooses not to.’’ So at the end of the day you are not that fond of her? “You are right. I was much fonder of her before she chose to get involved in the McCain thing. She didn’t have to do it.’’ The Republicans are abandoning her, the teabaggers are abandoning her, her own inner circle is abandoning her, how much longer can it be before Sarah Palin finds that the only people left who will listen to her speak are Piper, and the “retarded baby”. (Sarah calls him that , not me.)

Bill Maher’s New Rules for 2-26-10

Watch til the end for a nice surprise.

Bill Maher’s New Rules for 2-26-10

Sarah Palin responds to questions about Teabaggers whilst standing in a Wasilla Winter Wonderland and giving the ghost of Ronald Reagan a handjob.

To paraphrase Reagan a little “There both EASY candidates, and SIMPLE candidates, and I stand before you as both”. Nice to know that if you are NOT a Teabagger you don’t believe in freedom. So I guess freedom from joining a particular movement is not an AMERICAN freedom. Good to know. I should probably write that down. Can I borrow your hand Sarah? “Take over the Republican party Tea Partiers!” Because you know nothing says “democracy” like a hostile take over of a political organization. I do like one of her often repeated statements however “Hey bottom line, we win, you lose.” Perhaps somebody needs to remind her that in the last election Obama won, and she and her and her creepy old uncle lost. And the reason they lost is because when the Republican were in power they damn near destroyed the very foundation of our country. And THAT by the way is what the Teabaggers are really pissed off about, which they could see if they could stop focusing for a minute on the fact that President Obama is a black guy. Does anybody else think that Plain looks a little high strung and agitated? Gee I wonder what could possibly be bothering her? By the way there is really not that much of a delay between the question and the answer when being interviewed in Alaska from the lower forty eight. However if Palin has not had time to write the answers on her hands it takes her an extra few seconds to decide which memorized conservative talking point to vomit forth. “Less taxes!” “Freedom!” “Smaller government!” And if she can’t come up with anything she just licks her botox deadened lips and whispers “Reagan”. That is political porn to the viewers of Fox News.
