<i>"In 2009, President Obama inherited a war on terror where Middle East terrorists were in retreat, with al Qaeda in Iraq a broken force at the time."</i>

al Queda in Iraq and Islamic State in Iraq were on the offense before Obama took office. In 2007, among various attacks, three U.S. soldiers were captured and executed in Iraq. But Obama DIDN'T USE HIS TIME MACHINE TO SAVE THEM!

While she has simply become a badly-written parody of her nutty self, there was one krazee story in the past week or so that suggested she was being pressed to run for the Senate in Arizona. For McCain's seat. In the months to come, I hope the talented archivists and database professionals that are part of Our Team Wonkette will be able to recover the valued illustrations (and articles? I have no hope for the comments) from "The Great Paultard War" and Commenter-General Nick Farr. If Rand does make a run, we'll want his thoughts on fiat money and the gold standard and other things his dad was keen on (NAFTA Superhighway?)

She was too focused on looking for something more sad than bread bags on her feet. Nobody one-ups sister Sarah, let alone some cornpone pig slicer.

<i>...the teacher acted against school policy — I’d add she or he acted against the Constitution, too, by telling the student to put away the Bible — so, the principal understood part of this, anyway, not the teacher though.</i>

No, you animated, bumpitted, screeching harpy, you don't get it. Even the venerated* Supreme Court has said on a few occasions that students' rights to things like freedom of expression and speech (and religion! perish the thought!) can be curtailed to some degree at the schoolhouse door. Look, I know that you didn't really study for that journamalismism degree, but fer the love of your god(s) you could at least <b>pretend</b> that somebody researched this for you. More than that, the teacher very much has the right to tell the idiotically-named child that maybe doesn't even exist to put away a book and PAY SOME F*CKING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT. I don't think he'll learn to solve 3x[plus]2^y=42 from the goddamned (heh) Bible. [Edited the equation; sorry. Brain running on three cylinders and bourbon.]

Also: Are you related to that guy Leo on "Worst Cooks in America"? Because you both seem to have the same idea on a new pair of glasses each week. And you're both incomprehensibly stoopid. (ETA: Leo calls himself a "performance artist." So...yeah, must be related to the Grifta from Wasilla.)

*Well, you venerate the Supreme Court when it agrees with you, anyway...

What a bad experiment I promoted. Hypothesis = Sara is confirmed batshit. Exitorix please advise if I need to beef up the staff liquor stipend. And I hope ba-be is awesome and healthy.

if wingnuts had a problem with people saying things that don’t make any sense, then there wouldn’t be a Republican Party at all.

So if I open up a Bible in math class and the teacher asks me to put it away she is being unconstitutional?

Made-up story about a kid reading made-up stories. Sarah Palin™ has gone meta.

Jeb should run on his brother's accomplishments.

So we must assume that the Grandstaffs were grandstanding.

Unfortunately, I can imagine the type of parents who would name a kid Loyal Grandstaff.

So, you expect people to believe the woman who all the way through 2008 still thought Iraq was responsible for 9/11, while speaking to an audience that still thinks Saddam Hussein had a nuclear weapons program (because Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld still deserve the benefit of the doubt), lecturing on foreign policy by conflating Syria and Iraq? And while charging her ideologically unmovable supporters $9.99 per month to lIsten?

No wonder conservatives think they're God's favorites: devine intervention might be the only rational explanation for something this ridiculous actually being a plausible money making endeavor.
