Palin Accuses AP Of Doing “Opposition Research” In Fact Check of Book
Checking facts is now opposition research? Further proof that facts have a liberal bias.
Why would you expect someone who believes the earth is less than 5,000 years old and can speak to Jesus in tongues to care one bit about the truth?

Favorite band/duo/musical act.
Who pitches a no-hitter on LSD?
Apparently Dock Ellis.
Ellis remained calm. The game would start late. Ample time for the acid to wear off. Then it struck him: doubleheader. The Pirates had a doubleheader. And he was pitching the first game. He had four hours to get to San Diego, warm up and pitch. If something didn’t happen in the interim, Dock Philip Ellis, age 25, was about to enter a 50,000-seat stadium and throw a very small ball, very hard, for a very long time, without the benefit of being able to, you know, feel the thing.
F@#king hilarious!
The term used in most New Testament texts (the Greek word pistis) meant something closer to loyalty or commitment, than unreasoning belief. When Jesus chastised his followers for their lack of faith, or commended a non-Jew for having faith, he wasn’t talking about some unspoken creed. He certainly wasn’t praising them for seeing that he was divine. He was talking about follow-through, about living up to ideas of selflessness and humbleness. Even the word “belief” has changed from a Middle English sense of “prize” to our modern idea of “accept at face value.” Imagine how different every Christian creed would sound today if we replace “believe in” with “value” and “have faith in” with “commit myself to.”

I look back rather negatively on my college years. It’s not that I didn’t have good friends (I had/have great friends), and it’s not that I didn’t like my classes (the geography and geology depts were fantastic) It’s something else, it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what was so bad, but I think it can be summed up in this picture.
The school removed library space in order to add a Starbucks.
I like that you picked a rainy picture of Club Gelman. It fits. I recall many a 3 AM cigarette under those awnings. GW was great because it was in DC. GW sucked because the administration was NOT interested in running a school, just in raising the endowment.
Sarah Palin says of possible changes to US currency involcoing the move of In God We Trust to the edge of the coin, “Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It’s a disturbing trend.”
Fox News debunks (wtf?!), “in actuality the coins design was commisioned in 2005 when Republicans controlled Congress and was approved by then-President George Bush.”
