Why Supporting A Sarah Palin Run For President Helps Us All

Why Supporting A Sarah Palin Run For President Helps Us All

There is another way to look at a Sarah Palin candidacy for the Presidency in 2012  against Barrack Obama.  If, as a fellow American, you want to help reduce unnecessary federal spending you should join me in supporting Sarah Palin in her quest for the GOP nomination for President in 2012.

Sarah Palin - winner-never-quitsNow you may be sitting there saying "What!??  Rocky, have you lost your mind??  Sarah Palin as President??"

Ahhhhh...follow along my friend.  I didn't say I wanted to see Sarah actually elected President...after all, that could cause a rip in the space-time continuum.  I just think there is an argument to be made that we should do all we can to help her RUN for the Presidency. 

You see, once the campaign season gets underway, whenever President Obama travels around the country campaigning for himself or other fellow democrats, we the taxpayers will bear a substantial amount of the travel and security costs for these campaign trips…as we have done for every other incumbent President who hit the campaign trail (just the fuel costs for Air Force One should stagger the imagination).  These expenses certainly run in the millions and millions of dollars.

If the GOP puts Sarah Palin at the top of the ticket in 2012, we the taxpayers will end up saving a fortune since President Obama won’t have to do any substantive campaigning at all to secure reelection.  OK,  maybe one or two trips around the country, and perhaps three or four speeches in the last few months leading up to Election Day.  Just to remind the few people who never read a newspaper, or who live on a remote mountaintop or in a monastery that he is indeed running for reelection.

Because when Election Day finally rolls around, and if ALL of Sarah Palin’s supporters turn out to vote for her, the final election results will be something along the lines of Obama - 79% and  Palin - 21%, and I’m sure I’m being generous toward Sarah with these numbers.

Sarah Palin is, and will remain, a small fish in an ever shrinking pond.  Although she does possess a certain charm and charisma, she has repeatedly demonstrated that she simply lacks the temperament, intellect, and the unselfish personal devotion to duty necessary to serve the public with dedication and integrity.  She will, however, continue to be a media darling simply because anyone who criticizes the media for all of their failures and shortcomings invariably garners increased media attention, since the media must now desperately try to show that they are indeed delivering balanced and fair reporting.

So let’s all rally behind Sarah and hope that she does indeed grab the GOP nomination and runs in 2012 against President Obama.  The savings that will result could shrink the federal deficit by more than a sizable amount.  And here in the “Real America” where we truly love not only our country but also love and respect our fellow Americans (as opposed to Sarah Palin’s “Real America“ which seems to consist of only those people who want to return to an era where our President is perhaps personally affable but intellectually and morally bankrupt), to this writer it just seems that supporting a Sarah Palin run for the Presidency is simply the patriotic thing to do.

Microsoft Announces Several New Versions Of Windows 7

Microsoft Announces Several New Versions Of Windows 7

Microsoft recently announced a substantial expansion in the number of planned versions of the forthcoming Windows 7 operating system, the designated successor to Windows Vista.

A spokesman for Microsoft, who wished to remain anonymous, explained the thinking behind the decision. “We noticed that when we released Windows Vista in it's multiple versions, on one hand we saw some customer confusion over which version had which features. Granted, this resulted in some anger and frustration with our customers. Yet, these same confused customers still purchased a copy of Vista, usually by closing their eyes and grabbing the nearest box on the shelf."

The unnamed spokesman went on to say, "We want to give the consumer the flexibility to choose the version of Windows 7 that best meets their individual needs, even if it takes them several purchases before they discover just which version is the right one for them. At the same time, we are keenly aware that alternate PC operating systems, such as Linux, are cutting into our market share every day. So by releasing so many versions of Windows at one time, and requiring retailers to stock each different version, we'll give our customers the options we want to force …er… let them have, and at the same time we'll foster the illusion that we still totally dominate the desktop operating system market. Just think of the psychological effect on the average consumer when they walk into a Best Buy or Walmart store, and encounter a scene not at all unlike the closing scene from "Raiders Of The Lost Ark".....nothing but rows and rows of Microsoft Windows 7 boxes.....stacked as far as the eye can see.

Internet Couple Calls It Quits After Seven Year Cyber Marriage


Internet Couple Calls It Quits After Seven Year Cyber Marriage

Audrey Cybercam, a native of West Virginia, reportedly asked her cyber husband of seven years, RideThisTexasCowboy, for a divorce after living together as husband and wife in the same internet chat room for a little over seven years. Audrey and Ride had never seen each other face to face during their entire marriage.

The couple stated they first met each other playing Yahoo Pool over the internet one lonely night. Their relationship blossomed from a simple Yahoo games friendship into a full blown instant-messaging and email based romance.

The partnership reached a milestone when RideThisTexasCowboy, basking in the afterglow of a particularly intense IM rendezvous, popped the question to Audrey via an animated email greeting card. "I decided we should take the next step", said Ride, "so I knelt right there on the carpet, reached up and pressed the enter key, and hoped she'd say yes."

Audrey was thrilled and told Ride she would be his cyber bride. The two said they had a lovely ceremony performed in the chat room by one of the room regulars, a gentleman who went by the moniker of "BrotherLove" and claimed to be the pastor of the "Divine Church Of Fruitful Fornication and Eternal Inebriation". The couple received a number of pictures via email of wedding gifts from the invited guests, as well as having each of the guests sign entries in their wedding blog.

Soon the newlywed couple moved into a new chat room and settled in with a number of like minded friends. RideThisTexasCowboy was able to find employment as an enforcer for an internet "street gang" known as the DipshitScriptKiddies. Ride said that, although they have had no success thus far, the group had high hopes of someday finding a utility program that was actually capable of disconnecting, or "booting" as it's called, another Yahoo chat user.

Audrey started a modestly successful mail order company specializing in hard to find adult novelty items. She said her best selling item was based on one of her own designs which she fabricated from an 18" long double dildo, an old Salad Shooter, and an antique rocking chair. This reporter politely declined her generous offer of a live demonstration of the fiendish looking device.

Over the years the couple's love for one another grew, as did their cyber family. They "conceived" several cyber children, as well as adopting a used laptop computer. Things seemed to be going quite well for the happy couple until, as Audrey described it, the combination of an intermittent internet connection, along with her husbands infidelity, destroyed their marriage.

"My internet connection became rather unreliable and would sometimes disconnect me from my husband at, well, let's just say it would sometimes fail just as I was reaching a certain point of carnal satisfaction.", Mrs. Cybercam stated. "My husband, who was becoming increasingly frustrated by my ISP problems, began to go back to hanging out in some of his former chat rooms, and having numerous private conversations with other webcam equipped women...though he claimed these harlots were just friends.

By the time my ISP finally worked out the problems with my connection, and we were once again able to spend some quiet time together, my husband seemed to lose interest in me romantically. He would offer up various excuses, but I could tell by subtle changes in his text messages, as well as his shrinking font size, that these other women were showing him a lot more than he should have been looking at."

Audrey stated, "I finally had to face the fact that I had lost my man to the cyberwhores." She said she didn't think that things could ever be the same between them, so she decided to ask Ride for a divorce. After much discussion through their cyberlawyers in the room, they arrived at a mutually acceptable property settlement. Each would retain possession of their respective "buddy lists" and nicknames, and Audrey would have sole custody of the couple's cyber children.

RideThisTexasCowboy agreed to pay suitable amount of child support through a specially set-up PayPal account. Custody of the laptop was awarded to Mr. Cowboy, and he agreed to move out of the couple's regular chat room and move into a different room.

Ms. Cybercam lamented that the whole virtual experience had taken a substantial toll on her emotionally. "I'm sure that someday I might want to try again with someone new, but right now I think I need a break from chat.", she said. "Who knows", she went on, "maybe my former husband and I might someday be able to be friends again. But I haven't seen him since we split up, and I have no idea what rooms he hangs out in these days."

With a audible sigh, Audrey said "After all, I'd still like to know what he actually looks like.".
