An entertaining article on Sharron Angle's disastrous campaign.

Shockingly, some in the "libertarian" Tea Party are trying to get Republicans in Congress to vote against repealing DADT.

European newspapers are absolutely lambasting all over Ireland and European Union. The language is apocalyptic and they say everything is very reminiscent of Lehman Brothers and Northern Rock.

Sarah Palin's Alaska ratings have plummeted:

Tom Delay was found guilty and faces potentially life in prison.

I guess it was those renowned liberal Texas judges and juries that had it in for him.

Maybe FOX can have him offer some fair and balanced political wisdom from behind bars.

Interviewer

: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in

North Korea

?

Palin

: Well, North Korea, this is stemming from a greater problem, when we're all sitting around asking, 'Oh no, what are we going to do,' and we're not having a lot of faith that the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do. So this speaks to a bigger picture that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously,

we've got to stand with our North Korean allies

– we're bound to by treaty....

Interviewer

: South Korean.

Palin

: Yes, and we're also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

Can't Palin just die already?

God, you took Farrah Fawcett, can we have her back in exchange for Palin?

NO!

I am in love with her reality show.

Because it's a tragic train crash and you enjoy it because of that?

The latest from the UK: Theresa May is introducing new law which will allow the police to throw the husband out of the house for 48 hours (or a month?) on suspicion of domestic violence. There will be no need for proof, it's enough for a woman to call the police and it's done.

What I find fascinating is that not so long ago both Iceland and Ireland were praised as these magnificent economies where every endeavour flourishes. Fast forward and here we are. Almost always under those shiny surfaces some kind of sea monster appears. Greece was a bit different, everyone knew it borrowed heavily, people spent the borrowed money and no one returned it.

Actually -- deep breath -- Ireland's economy WAS doing well and its government were fiscally prudent. The issue is with Ireland's banks that put money in property. The government bailed them out rather than let them collapse.

Basically, the Euro zone NEED to be seen to be doing something about supporting the euro currency. The entire euro project is under tremendous pressure to fail. They needed Ireland more than Ireland needed them and so that's why they insisted that Ireland take the bailout package. In terms of meeting their borrowing obligations, the Irish were/are not at the brink of default the way Greece was 6-8 months ago.

But at one point, it will become ridiculous to continue like this and someone will have to stop the bail-outs. When will you know that the euro has failed?

Wow....and to thank that this nitwit was thisclose to being only a heartbeat away from the presidency.

And I quote President Barack Obama:

"The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries." --Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010

"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon

And to think that THIS nitwit IS the President.

He's much better than Sarah "I can see Russia from my house" Palin and that idiot George W. Bush, who once said "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test." George W Bush, Townsend, Tennessee, 21st February 2001

That line... I can see Russia from my house... That was Tina Fey, Sarah never said it, right?

She did have plenty of others, but not this one.

Tina said it.

Sarah said you can see parts of Russia from parts of Alaska, and that is true... somewhat, anyways.
