What to do, what to do? I finally went with Putin seeing Palin from his porch. I could just imagine each of them standing with binoculars trained.

I liked 'Younger, taller, more hair, better looking' but a lot of people went with that. As for Putin watching Palin, I've got a lot of pictures of him near the chain of islands that connect Russia and Alaska. It could happen, you know!

Bears are involved at the beginning:

Putin asks: A Russian bear defecting to Alaska?



Palin is safely kept in a bubble in the corner of this picture of a bear moocher:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uzVZA7KHnGA/TE-S9VUqdWI/AAAAAAAABR4/Hzl6gy_IusU/s400/palin+meets+bear.jpg

Maybe not safely kept in a bubble. See Sarah. See Sarah's gun. No killing. Yet:



See Putin. See Putin's gun. He's really 'loaded for bear.' Should Putin put his shirt on? No killing yet:



Classic campaign poster of Palin quote and with Putin spying at Alaska in 2008. Yes, their voters saw that as foreign policy experience:



And that's the year when everything went wrong:

Video: Watch Sarah Palin shoot Alex Ovechkin with a hunting rifle

Warning: This satirical video does contain some graphic images and a violent scene of wild-game hunting that aired on TLC's "Sarah Palin's Alaska" recently. With that out of the way, here's one of the oddest places we've ever seen Alex Ovechkin (notes) show up in pop culture:

The video comes from Tauntr.com, with the following description:

After finding out America wouldn't get to host the 2022 World Cup, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin decided to get rid of some pent up rage the most patriotic way she knows how - hunting. Although her and her crack squad of assassins were out for some caribou, they stumbled across a much more rare and prized trophy, one native to Russia that must've somehow crossed the Bering Strait and invaded Palin's beloved home of Alaska.

By linking to this video from Tauntr, Puck Daddy in no way endorses the politics or potential presidential candidacy of Sarah Palin; nor the ideology of those who oppose her; nor the shooting of wild game; nor the shooting of dancing Russians that appear in commercials for discount auto dealers in the D.C. metropolitan area; nor the shooting of Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals or any NHL player; nor the state of Alaska, the Bering Strait and Russia; nor wascally wabbits, Mr. Elmer Fudd or another other standard-bearer of the hunting parody.


http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/video-watch-sarah-palin-shoot-alex-ovechkin-hunting--nhl.html

The video referred to is linked to another website with comments and is named:

Palin's Huntin' Wussians


http://www.tauntr.com/content/palins-huntin-wussians

I didn't watch, but some can 'bear' it. A deluded comment from the site:

Teo (not verified) 17 weeks 6 days ago

Palin is going to energize the Conservative base and helps to esunre the GOP continues towards Conservatism but that's another story for another blogpost. We as Conservatives can continue to heal, equalize and more importantly UNIFY to FIGHT AGAINST the Obamessiah.She clearly isn't a Beltway Basic. She isn't a DC Poison Drinker. She will be a Voice for Conservatism. She is pro-gun, pro-life, young enough to be a bridge to the next and growing generation of GOP'ers, a family woman, her life revolves around family. She's positive, good-looking (1. Don't think that doesn't count and 2. Ever notice how GOP women are predominantly positive and attractive, and Demorat women are predominantly negative and unattractive?), athletic, decisive, determined, considered, intelligent. I also think she'll be tough enough, convinced enough, driven enough to make it through the DEM media bombast and shit that you KNOW the MSM will hurl at her in order to see what sticks. First issue: the MSM will attack Palin for abandoning her Downs infant for campaigning. Trust me on this. Just wait and see what kind of coverage the GOP Convention gets this coming week whatever coverage is provided will be short, negative. NO Love Fest whatsoever. McCain CAN pull this off against Obama.BZ


That's all for now, gotta go.

If you want to look at the "Bush Lurch," just put any guy in a pair of high heeled wedges--you'll see the exact type of walk--clump, clump, clump; arms out to the side, trying to keep balanced.

in his wheelchair. Can you imagine the current crop of shallow voters who want instant gratification, the American Idol crowd, would want a man like FDR today?

I don't think he'd have any luck running a campaign. I can hear it now:

'Not able to stand up for himself, so he won't stand up for us; been waited on hand and foot, so can't know how hard our lives are; born into money, so he's one of them.'

And whatever they could think of to discount the man and not listen to him.


People were down to earth and had seen real suffering, not this first world angst, but the real thing. They were much more grounded back then and looked to ideas and character instead of the slick marketing and cheap thrills of today.

I hope we get back to the respecting of person's mind like that of Obama or Kerry and learning, even if not agreeing, just listening and thinking for a minute, not doing this media trained reaction. And soon.
