Hockey Mom

Not a good week for the ticket.

From NY Times:

The biggest problem: when Palin came out onto the Wachovia Center ice Saturday night — greeted by resounding (almost deafening) boos from the Flyers crowd — the two hockey players who had no choice but to appear with her in that photo op were turned into props in a political campaign. If Rangers center Scott Gomez or Flyers center Mike Richards wanted to make some sort of political statement, that would be fine, but in this case, they were thrust into a situation not of their choosing. Snider put them there with his ill-advised mixing of politics and sports.

The level of discomfort has been palpable for the Rangers’ two Alaska natives, Gomez and Brandon Dubinsky, as they have been asked questions about Palin and the election in recent weeks. Dubinsky, a 22-year-old who has shied away from nothing since he broke in with the Rangers last year, looks petrified when the topic is brought up. I think both would rather play goalie in a shootout than weigh in on the presidential election.

From Will Wilkinson:

Gut read. Obama owned it. This election’s over unless he murders and eats the flesh of a child on live television.

This Is The Guy That Let Us Read Sarah Palin's Email

So this is the kid hacked her account.

From Wired:

A grand jury ended its session this morning without indicting University of Tennessee student David Kernell, who is suspected of hacking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's private e-mail account, an area newspaper is reporting.

The Chattanooga Free Press doesn't offer a lot of details other than to say that Kernell's three roommates appeared before the grand jury this morning and that the session ended without an indictment. The grand jury will likely meet again to hear more evidence in the investigation.

Kernell, 20, has been meeting with a lawyer in Knoxville, Tennessee. Attorney Wade V. Davies released the following statement to the media on Monday:

"I have been asked by the Kernell family to represent their son, David. This is a difficult time for David and his family. The Kernell family wants to do the right thing, and they want what is best for their son. We are confident that the truth will emerge as we go through the process. David is a decent and intelligent young man, and I look forward to assisting him during this difficult period."

David Kernell and his father, Democratic state representative Mike Kernell, met with Davies for dinner on Friday evening in Knoxville, according to a Memphis blogger and friend of the family named Sharon Cobb. The elder Kernell drove from his home in Memphis to Knoxville that day and has been staying with his son in a hotel since FBI agents visited David Kernell's apartment over the weekend to photograph it.

Palin Family Values

Sure, there's this.

But, now there's this:

Is the party of traditional marriage aware that the vice-presidential nominee actually eloped with her now-husband? And just in case you missed it: Scott Richter, Todd Palin's former business partner, has just filed an emergency motion to seal his divorce papers.

Ted Stevens Says He Didn't Do It

The distinguished eskimo Senator from AK plead not guilty to all that stuff that he actually did do.

After being forced to hand over his passport, Stevens requested that his trial be moved from D.C. to Alaska. This is because he has already brided the assortment of penguins and polar bears that will sit on his jury.

BREAKING NEWS!!!: Ted Stevens Indicted, Does Not Matter

This of course is not news because every website on the planet has retarded screamers blazing on their front page like this:



From HuffPo:

Sen. Ted Stevens, the nation's longest-serving Republican senator and a major figure in Alaska politics since before statehood, was indicted Tuesday on seven felony counts of concealing more than a quarter of a million dollars in house renovations and gifts from a powerful oil contractor that lobbied him for government aid.

Stevens, 84, is the first sitting U.S. senator to face federal indictment since 1993. He declared, "I am innocent of these charges and intend to prove that."

He is accused of lying on his annual Senate financial disclosure reports between 1999 and 2006 _ an indictment that caps a lengthy FBI investigation that has upended Alaska politics and brought unfavorable attention to both Stevens and his congressional colleague, GOP Rep. Don Young. Both are running for re-election this year.

Nancy Grows A Pair

(Eat it, Rahm)

Pwned!

Meet Monica Conyers. She is a very angry President Pro-Tem of the Detroit City Council.

She is also a bitch.

Back in April, Monica got in a shouting match with the Council President during session and called him Shrek, which I am assuming is a racist term for elitist Council Presidents.

The Detroit News thought it would be fun to bring a bunch of middleschoolers to interview the evil witch and ask her why she is such a poopypants. What ensues is fucking gold.

Mrs. Conyers, you got Pwned! by an 8th grader.
