1. Air America Crashes
Tough week for the lefties.
  1. Health care wilting: Obama health plan in doubt
  2. Stock market crashes on Obama hating on the banks: Market plunges on Obama bank crackdown
  3. Yet another global warming oops: UN climate chief admits mistake on Himalayan glaciers warning
  4. And more symbolic than anything else... adios, leftie radio:
Air America Radio Closing
I don't think I've ever heard Air America, to be honest. I think they're in Chicago, but I don't know. I must say, however, if your claim to fame is Al Franken and Rachel Maddow used to work there... um, Houston, we have a problem.

2. Alternate Sarah
I saw Sarah Palin on FoxNews for the first time.
Sigh.
She's getting bad advice.

She was answering questions on what she does to relax. I'll paraphrase. Run. Hunt. Fish. Relax.
The friendly interviewer (O'Reilly) looked at her like she was an alien.
"So, you've got like a refrigerator full of animals you've hunted or something?"
"Yeah."

There's an alternate universe where Sarah Palin asks me for advice:
  • Stay as governor of Alaska. You can do that for 12 more flipping years, kick ass, and still be a young presidential candidate.
  • Sell your books. Make some $$$. Get paid to lecture. Make more $$$.
  • Don't be a FoxNews girl. Don't play the game for max cash... play the game for max longevity.
  • Stay in Alaska. Let the world come to you, rather than vice versa.
  • And guess what. If the world never comes calling... you've got millions of $$$, and a wonderful family and lifestyle.

Why the advice? Trolling with the media, even media friendly to you, for the cash... it's not good. Stay away from that. And Washington.
On Sarah Palin's course, she'll be consumed by the (fucked up) system surrounding her.
She's trading max $$$ for serenity, real accomplishment (as a governor), and (hopefully not) more.

I heart Sarah Palin.
peace out... yow, bill

PS - Throw this one into the fire: Jobless claims rise in latest week. The economy and employment turns on President Obama, then... yikes, it's gonna get ugly. I don't think (or hope) that that's going to happen though.
