PPP Poll: Obama 46% Palin 46%
The info is here.
President Obama trails former Governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in this poll. Now I'm no Nate Silver, so I dunno the samples or demographics and how all that breaks down, but PPP is a pretty good outfit from what I have heard. I know it's early, and we have a loooooooong way to go till 2012, but just, WOW!
OK, Mitt Romney I can sort of understand being ahead of Obama right now thanks to his supposed "Mr. fix-it business credentials" (which really only consists of laying people off and outsourcing). Mike Huckabee I can understand being ahead because he is an amiable fellow with a populist-type agenda that is appealing to a good number of religious folk. Newt Gingrich I can understand because he was Speaker during an economically prosperous time and he takes every opportunity to point that out. Once the campaign begins though, they will tear out each other's throats over Romney's flip-flopping and "socialist" Massachusetts health care program, then Huckabee's "populism" and parolee issues, and finally Newt's congressional ethical issues and queasy personal past. So yeah they may all be ahead now but I wouldn't put too much stock in those numbers because the campaigns against them have not begun. But PALIN!?!?! Any attack against her only emboldens her cult-like fans, so I highly doubt any attacks from her primary opponents would affect her numbers.
Truth is, I understand her appeal to many right-wingers. She's good-looking, confident, ambitious, she hunts, she's a god-fearing woman, she's pro-life with a beautiful handi-capable boy to prove it, she talks like the righties and doesn't have a "fancy schmancy" Ivy League education just like they don't. I think she'd fit right in as a host with the airheads on "Fox & Friends" and would make for a fascinating reality show. But as a President?!?!?! Someone completely unqualified for the job? Someone who quit her term as Governor halfway through? Someone who went to 5 different colleges and won't say why or release her grades? Someone who saw an opening to shake down every hillbilly in America and grabbed it? Someone whose family fits in better at the "Jerry Springer Show" than the White House? Someone determined to continue the culture wars that have just about destroyed our political system? Someone who uses the same five words in every sentence: "commonsense", "Reagan", "God", "socialist" and "troops"? Someone who wants to run the country closer to the ideals of the Bible? Someone who won't be interviewed outside of the confines of Fox News? Someone who never held a press conference while running for Vice President? I could go on and on....
We already had one dunce who grabbed control of our country, a country that had a surplus and good relations with most of the world, and blew it all to hell, leaving us in a near-depression. And now 46% of this country wants to vote in his female equivalent? How can this be?

Heckuva job, Arizona
Arizona's draconian new immigration law has already led to a case of racial profiling of an American-born citizen. A Mexican-American born in Fresno was detained until his wife went all the way to Arizona to take him his birth certificate. I was born in the San Joaquin Valley and I'm latino, just like this guy. So I can be thrown in jail and detained in Arizona if I don't have my birth certificate. Does that sound like America to you? That sounds like a motherfucking police state, like North Korea or China to me.
This law is un-American and unconstitutional, but how much you wanna bet the Teabaggers don't protest it? Noooo, they'd rather protest against non-existent things like "death panels" and "FEMA concentration camps". When their corporate overlords like Dick Armey or media masters like Rush, Beck and Palin don't tell them what to do, these dunces are totally lost and unable to form their own opinions. They have never protested Wall Street for crashing the economy either!
I'd trade in the Teabaggers for the illegal immigrants anyday!

ready for another religious rant?
How do fucking idiots like Tim Tebow and Sarah Palin get people to pay them hundreds and thousands of dollars to hear them speak in this country? and hell, Canada too? In the midst of a horrible recession no less?! How can people be so duped into lining the pockets of these ignorant fools as long as they “stand up for what they believe for” and “speak for them”?
Then again people still attend and give money to the appallingly corrupt Catholic Church so I really shouldn’t be shocked at how these fairy-tale religions continue to sucker the sheeple!

yes, it was this horrifying....

I’ve seen my nephew’s 6th grade boy’s team play more inspired than those college gals in the first half of the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME last night. What does that say about the quality of opponents who got blown out all season by UConn? Why do these women roll over and lose by 40, 50, even 70 points? Are they really even trying?
The local state university here had to end the popular men's wrestling and water polo teams to make way for new money-sucking women's lacrosse and women's equestrian teams in order to comply with Title IX. Equestrian!!! Wait, it gets worse: desperate to find women to join the equestrian team, the university recruited an inexperienced young girl who fell off a horse and DIED!!!!!
As if the tragic death of that young girl isn't enough, you will never find a better exhibit for the repeal of Title IX than this year’s NCAA Women’s tournament.

2010 MLB Predictions

Well, my boy Tim Lincecum will win his 3rd Cy Young in a row, of course! But I don't think my San Francisco Giants have a great shot at the NL West, cuz our hitting is still pretty anemic, but the Wild Card will be ours! The Colorado Rockies will take the West, as for the rest of the NL, I like the St. Louis Cardinals in the Central and as for the East, well, the Philadelphia Phillies are absolutely loaded (and not just with hot guys like Cole Hamels, Victorino, Chutley, etc.) and I just can't see anyone strong enough to topple them. I like the Phillies over the Rockies in the NLCS.
For the AL, I like the Seattle Mariners in the West, the Chicago White Sox in the Central, and I'd have to go with the Yankees over the Red Sox in the East, with Boston grabbing the Wild Card. I'm gonna go w/ NY over Boston in the ALCS, but I'm still not sure the Yankees will be the same team chemistry-wise w/o Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon, plus their big stars like A-Rod and Derek Jeter are getting older and injuries are a growing concern, but I'll stick w/ them for now.
World Series: Philadelphia Phillies over the New York Yankees
