did’ya catch this one yet??http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/30/palins-news/I’m gonna go with Vogue, Cosmo, and Guns&Ammo.

That’s friggin hilarious! She’s accusing Katie of thinking she’s uninformed because she’s from Alaska. No Sarah, Katie’s just pointing out how stupid you are period – regardless of where you are from.

Why isn’t Delay in jail??

“Sheesh! Some people just don’t understand that Alaska isn’t a foreign country like New England or someplace. We’re just a microcosm of the rest of the US.”

Anyone seen this yet?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RAKjJOnVD60

How many pink and red fashionista jackets does this woman have?? And I’m really starting to feel like child services needs to come in and rescue that poor kid who’s being forced to schlep around behind her mother all day so they can prop her up in the back of every shot like a lawn ornament.

LiveFree:Gawd. How embarrassing. Doubly so for me, I’m an Alaskan.Elvis D. was right (at least I think it was Elvis D.) when he said (and I paraphrase) “If she doesn’t take a dump on the stage during the debate, she’ll be perceived as ‘doing well’.”Excuse me. My head hurts.

Woohoo! Nate Silver to be on Olbermann!

You can always become a New Englander, Packy. We got room for ya.And, I need to ask, is Palin’s accent common in Alaska?

Newt is looking to set himself up for 2012. But he’s in an awkward position because he’s gotta act like he’s defending McCain/Palin even though he really wants them to tank. But at the same time if Obama wins he’s got no shot until 2016+. So he doesn’t know which way to fall in this. I hope he falls on his ass.

I’d vote for Jack Caffertyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkeEe0oJ1ZM

CEU:It’s mystifying. Palin has almost a Minnesota or Canadian sounding twang, and I don’t know WHERE she picked that up.Perhaps she’s like George Bush who “sounds like” he’s from Texas, except Bush was mostly raised in Connecticut. It’s an affectation on Bush’s part, I think. Part of his “good ol’ country boy” persona. None of his brothers sound remotely like they’re from Texas.The only real “Alaskan” accents here would be those of Natives (the indigenous peoples – Inuit, Athabascan, Tlinget and Aleut).All of those accents differ, depending on the speaker’s ethnicity and regional roots, and vary in intensity from no accent at all to a very heavy accent. They sound nothing like Sarah.As an example: I was born in Florida, moved to Alaska as a 5-yr. old child, and have been here more than 50 years. I, and most of my lifelong friends who either moved here very young or were born here (at least the non-native ones) have no real perceptible accent at all.Apart from content, we sound like TV news talking heads from the West Coast.

I bet Sarah Palin had never even heard of Joe Biden until recently.

Keith Olbermann just discussed the photo released showing Palin practicing for the debate outdoors by a creek. He talked about the psychology of practicing for an event in a similar physical situation, such as an exam in the classroom in which you will be taking the exam.I would like to postulate that she’s practicing by a creek because during the debate that’s exactly where she will be – up Shit Creek. Probably without a paddle.

I find it funny that it is now considered FACT that John McCain suspended his campaign–he did not–FACT. mmmmmmmmm BBQ.

Hi yall. Gettin my fix on– had to work late. Any obvious things-I-mighta-missed?

Can someone explain the new BBQ nonsense of what she needs to do in the debate:”Palin being Palin.”Isn’t that what we’ve been seeing?

Hi Jane, Palin made a Joe Biden age joke on the stump, and then tried to weasel her way out of it but saying he had lots of experience.

MSNBC should fire Joe Java and Chris Pie Face and get Jack Cafferty on the payroll. He is the best thing going on CNN.

Heard Bill Maher on Fresh Air tonite– followed by some unfunny stuffy religulous types…

love Jack Cafferty–I think he is the most no nonsense guy on cable–cuts right through the BBQ sauce–always.

Hey Jane – it’s pretty much been the usual whargarble. Exceptionally high pitched whargarble too. I think that’s the reason wolves are howling in Alaska.

Hi Carl! Boy I hate scrollers, p.s.

Scrollers?! Yeah, they can be a pain in the ass.

Whargarble! How I’ve missed the whargarble.

I caught a glimpse of Lou Fucking Dobbs tonight and was blinded by his fake fucking choppers spewing pure nonsense regarding the fact that the market didn’t completely vaporize. He is clueless.

Is it Lou Fucking Dobbs or Lou “Fucking” Dobbs? I’m never sure.

Thanks, Packy! I always wanted to visit Alaska, but after listening to Palin’s accent for the last month, I was rethinking that…And yeah, thanks for the reminder that Bush was born in CT.http://www.myleftnutmeg.com/images/sign.jpg

uhhh…it’s his middle fucking name.

Well, it’s now completely proven that KO reads the Bob Cesca’s Goddamn Awesome Blog! Go!. He just made reference to Sarah Palin’s comments to that music teacher and said that the Flintstones must have a a documentary!WooHoo!

I bet Sarah’s name is really Paling but she toned it down to seem more folksy.

ahem…must have BEEN a documentary.

Keith has a point: If McPalin lose, she could very well turn up on Fox “news”– she has a degree in Journamalism Ethics, and such as.

I could love Rachael so much more if she wouldn’t have stinking Pat Buchanan. Talk about high pitched squeeling!!!!

Have you guys seen gas shortages (you Southerners, I guess I should say)? Last week I almost ran out of diesel near Fayetteville NC, they were all out down there. And lately in Raleigh NC I’ve seen stations out of regular gas.

Ted “the tubes” Steven’s is fucked.His buddy just threw him under the bus for less jail time.

Kucinich is on Maddow

No shortages here, Jane. In fact, gas prices dropped another $.10 a gallon overnight to $3.45…but then, I’m not a southerner.

Oh, and P.S.that little texas turd who called Rachel Maddow “Sir” can kiss my manhole.

Jane – In Wilmington, we had about a week of shortages after Ike landed, but we’ve been okay since. Our prices are holding steady around $3.77-$3.83. I have friends in Boone and Hickory, though, and they are having major shortages. They are hoping it will only last a few more days.

Remember how Bush just wanted to be Commissioner of Baseball? Let’s just make McCain “Grand Poobah Elk” and Sarah a “journalist” at Fox and be done with it. Save us all a lot of heartache.

Hi Jane. Im in Kentucky outside Fort Knox. I can tell you that gas shortage problems are way under-reported and are certainly true. Near me, there was only a shortage for a couple days following Gustav. However 40 miles north in Louisville they had shortages for atleast 2 weeks. The same was true even forther north as far as Cincinatti where my brother lives. There have been lines several hours long for gas in some locations. Makes me glad I get 40mpg in my car.The area from here outside Fort Knox up through Cincinatti and beyond into Ohio had the worst power outages, damage, and gas shortages possibly in their history. Any word of this in the media? nope. But I can’t blame them. With Palin looking like a clueless barbie doll every single day it doesn’t leave much time to talk about entire cities without power or gas.

Sorry make that Ike, not Gustav. There were so close together.

This theory that Palin’s debate expectations are so low that she can’t lose is complete bullshit. You don’t get an A+ in Calculus if you know 2+2=4 but don’t know you’re multiplication.

While flipping through the channels while Rachel was at commercial, I heard screeching and thought it was another Palin interview. Nope, just Jessica Simpson on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ They really do have so much in common. They like, you know, sort of like to, you know, kinda like to read, you know, like stuff.

Sadly, Carl, a math grade can be objective (and quantifiable) but a debate “win” never is.

A reality show! That’s what Sarah needs.

Carl, I really wish they would have continued with the “smart and tough” references to Palin. I hope we don’t hear the talking heads spewing “Palin did pretty good given what we were expecting” nonsense after the debate.

Great idea Jane! Maybe “Shooting with Sarah” or “Poaching with Palin?”

I just want to see Sarah figure out what “chicken of the sea” is…after she figures out how to open it.

Palin’s inability to name one prominent publication from which she gets her news is both ludicrous and grotesque from a candidate for national office. The most cursory of glances at my current subscription stack reads as follows, and these are just the ones within eyeshot of my desk:Foreign AffairsThe New RepublicThe New YorkerRadarSmithsonian MagazineThe American ScholarEsquireThe New York Review of BooksVanity FairThe WeekMother JonesWiredTin HouseAnd those are literally just the ones cluttering up my workspace. Good for Katie Couric in attempting to squeeze some by-God specificity from Governor Moosedouche, and fuck the latter for daring proclaim Alaska is a microcosm of American life. My ass.

Im surprised she didn’t cite “Field and Stream” or “Christianity Today” or even the TV Guide!

Has anyone seen Angry McCain on the Political Punch on abc.comReally who we want making the major decisions in this country?

The publications she has been reading are less known and uncomfortable to discuss in polite conversation—Such as “The World According To Cheney”, “Chicken Soup for the Religious Right Republicans Black Soul” and “Imperialism for Dummies”

Alright all you Cescateers…Just finished watching Letterman and it was a night like no other I’ve ever seen in 30+ years of watching Dave. Kudos to Dave and CBS for stepping up and giving this issue the exposure it would most definitely never receive on it’s own, but absolutely deserves. If you didn’t see the segment, check your TIVOs. If you did, here’s the link Dave posted at the end of the segment:http://www.wfp.org/lateshow/We've all had a fun time listening to Dave berate McCain this past week. Well, now it’s time to pay up for the yucks.I’d like to hear from everyone out there – even the ones that read but never post. Make a donation and tell 2 friends to do the same. Let the world know that even though we’re all faceless here in Cescaville- we have hearts, and we care.

It’s Lou FUCKIN Dobbs. And as long as we’re on the subject of middle names, how about how about Pat & Bay Fuckin’ Buchanan, Joe Fuckin’ Scarborough and Glenn Mother-Fuckin’ Beck? And now that I think about it, what about Tom Fuckin’ Brokaw? Where’s Jack Fuckin’ Kevorkian when you need him?
