Found this on the Huff site.

The movie is about 10 mins long but is worth watching. Damn scary. Total cultish behaviour.

And I thought Morning Star Mission was a bit of an odd choice of name too - isn't Lucifer supposed to be "star of the morning"?

Now I'm confused. And also a tad

i'll admit that i feel a bit sorry for her, too. but the way in which i feel sorry for her is as though she'd only had 1 swimming lesson and decided to jump into the deep end of the pool. all that floundering and kicking and struggling to stay afloat... you have to have some pity for the hubris that inspired her to jump in over her head in the first place.

because you know she's floundering. and you know she knows she's floundering. and you know that somewhere deep inside, she knows you know she's floundering.

anyone *watch* the katie couric interview?

GOOD EV'NIN BRIAN!

I would, but my brain would implode, so I'll get back to you on that after I'm done watching Putin fly over my home.

And I bet she knows that we know that she knows she's floundering, too.


There are also a few interesting opinion pieces by conservative writers about Palin that I wanted to share.

First is one called "Palin Problem: She's out of her league". A couple quotes:

As we’ve seen and heard more from John McCain’s running mate, it is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion.

and

Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

Then there's this article that says:

Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she'd be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness.

And this article that says:

Ms. Palin's experience in government makes Barack Obama look like George C. Marshall. She served two terms on the city council of Wasilla, Alaska, population 9,000. She served two terms as mayor. In November, 2006, she was elected governor of the state, a job she has held for a little more than 18 months. She has zero foreign policy experience, and no record on national security issues.

All this would matter less, but for this fact: The day that John McCain announced his selection of Sarah Palin was his birthday. His 72nd birthday. Seventy-two is not as old as it used to be, but Mr. McCain had a bout with melanoma seven years ago, and his experience in prison camp has uncertain implications for his future health.

If anything were to happen to a President McCain, the destiny of the free world would be placed in the hands of a woman who until the day before Friday was a small-town mayor.

i like what the panel with Anderson Cooper had to say about Palin. right now she doesn't even look all that confident. it's a combination of McCain's camp not doing anything to actually make her look better out there.

i also remember what someone who went against her (i think it was Andre Halcro) said, she got this far just by being charming. her answers have always been vague, and she always had staff feed her lines when needed. which was fine in a smaller state of Alaska, but now she has to deal with the national media which isnt as forgiving.

[Deckard]

From that conservative writer:

If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.

Ouch!

Andrew Sullivan writes a mean line or two - and by 'mean' I mean down right insightful.

Palin is getting worse.
"In other words: There's no Palin decline. There was nothing to decline from. There is no there there but ambition, fundamentalism and a bizarre personal life. And the pressure of her countless lies - especially about her personal life - must be beginning to tell. My own view is that she is such a massive joke she will kill the ticket; but if McCain asked her to withdraw, it would so destroy his own record of judgment, he would also lose. So we have two scenarios: either they struggle on, keep the Schmidt fireworks to distract from reality, and hope that racism and Christianism will somehow get them to the finishing line - or we start all over with Romney. But it's getting too late to switch GOP candidates.

I don't think the Palin problem is fixable. She is who she is: an unqualified fundamentalist liar with no knowledge of or experience in national domestic or foreign policy. And McCain had absolutely no idea who she was when he picked her."

Exactly.
