Bill Scannell has suffered many Alaskan indignities for Wonkette since the ridiculous rise of snowbilly grifter Sarah Palin, but Saturday night's rip-off 9/11-palooza was, as he reports, a total fraud.
It appears that if either of the Twin Pillars of New Moralism attain high public office we may avoid the <i>auto da f&eacute;</i> by cash payment, just as in the days of old.
Ken: You say &quot;Grifter&quot; like it&#039;s a bad thing.
PS: Were all those Hoverground Scooters &quot;purchased&quot; (I should say acquired) with Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security or other &quot;Free&quot; Federal Money? I&#039;ve heard the radio commercials and my bet is &quot;Hell Yes!&quot;

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

If Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. wasn&#039;t already dead, this would&#039;ve killed him.
Hope &amp; Crosby had Dorthy Lamour and her Sarong (but SoRight!).
I see Glumm Bleek being more the Riley type.

She can&#039;t name a newspaper she reads, but Boy Howdy, she knows the name of the network that pays her a $1,000,000 a year.
Did anyone want the Post Office to change Alaska ZIP codes from AK 99xxx, to AK 47xxx.
Did Beck announce which charity he was giving his speaking fees to?

Dammit, I lost my bet.
I was sure that Beck was going to announce a remastered version of Odelay, and that Palin was going to announce that Monty Python were reuniting.
Double damn.
At least Rev. Billy Graham kept the kegs under lock and key at his many stadium &quot;crusades.&quot;
More like the Ritz Brothers.
