Julianne Moore’s uncanny portrayal of Sarah Palin is just one reason to check out “Game Change” on HBO this Saturday. Writer Danny Strong and director Jay Roach were the genius team behind “Recount” the retelling of the 2000 election fiasco that is almost unbearably painful to watch. You keep hoping it will end differently. Further …
Words have power, and so do images. It seems something must be said about the events in Arizona. True, an open society can never be completely safe, but we count on politicians and influential public figures to think before they speak and act. And while the word ‘target’ has long been used metaphorically, and is …
I’m not all political like some of you Dose folks, so I’ve only just discovered PolitiFact, a project of the St. Petersburg Times that fact-checks statements by the White House, Congress, lobbyists and interest groups. While others have listed the years’s top music albums or best-selling books, PolitiFact polled the top eight lies told by politicians …

Every week at the Guardian John Crace reads a horrible-sounding book and hilariously breaks it down for you, sparing you the trouble of actually having to read it. This week, he tackles Kaylene Johnson’s book about Sarah Palin; as usual with anything written about Palin, the line between ridiculous and possibly true is completely non-existent: …

I know you’ll all be partying tomorrow night, so I’m getting this out of the way now. It’s my favorite video of the week of things we’ll miss and things we *really* won’t miss from 2008. It’s set to the song “New Lang Syne (Thank God It’s Over)” by Jim’s Big Ego and was created …
Hair as feathered and fine as Rod Blagojevich’s requires vigilance, mousse, and a special Paul Mitchell hairbrush the crooked guv bizarrely calls “the football” (the article also contains other anecdotal nuggets detailing HotRod’s hilarious spiral into megalomaniacal madness). In case you missed the highly amusing video of an Iraqi journalist fucking a shoe at Bush’s …
Remember a year ago, when it seemed like Mike Gravel was going to be the most surreal thing about this election? Ahh, innocent times. Anyway, if you haven’t already, go to palinaspresident.us if you like things like “dark humor” and “websites with lots of flash” and “laughing uncomfortably”. (I actually only thought it was slightly …
“The conservative movement at this point basically reminds me of people who thought 50 Cent was going to be the greatest rapper ever because he had been shot nine times, not because he could actually flow. Let’s face it, 50 is wack. He’s wack like Sarah Palin is wack.” [from Tapped, via Idolator]
Threshold issue: the President of the United States must believe that dinosaurs walked the earth millions of years ago. Sarah Palin could become our president and we absolutely have a right and a need to know if she believes in science. If this constitutes an attack on her faith, sobeit. After 8 years of faith-based …
“a small-town mayor has actual responsibilities”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Who knew Twitter would ever be funny?
My main concern with today’s news is the timing. If little Bristol’s water breaks during the inauguration ceremony those marble steps could become quite a hazard. America’s race to the bottom continues. People uncomfortable with the dreaded ‘elite’ label ought to feel right at home with the Palins.
