What the Hell is with the crazy people?

Are they sure it’s doesn’t have something to do with Michael Jackson’s funeral coverage?  I guess not- it looks like North Korea is not being subtle about this. In the past few months North Korea has withdrawn from the armistice and gotten far more belligerent than usual. The idea of a nation with nuclear weapons being run by a deranged narcissist makes me nervous.

Speaking of, I came across some staggering quotes from the personal lawyers of the Alaskan maniacs… 
From CNN:
“No legal “bombshell” or personal scandal lies behind Palin’s resignation, but off-color jokes by talk-show host David Letterman contributed to her decision to step down, Thomas Van Flein said.”

Really? David Letterman’s dumb joke pushed the Governor of Alaska over the edge? (cocks head to the side) Really?

The governor needed a break after being “on duty now for two and a half years solid,” he said.

No he did not. There’s no way he said that. Fuck you he actually said that. Nobody has ball that big and brassy.

“There is no bombshell. There is no shoe to drop. There are no investigations of any type that I’m aware of — no IRS audit, no federal investigation, no state investigation,” Van Flein told CNN. “There is no legal reason in terms of a legal problem that compelled the governor to resign.”

Please not the phrase ‘that I’m aware of’. Just note it. That is all.

Friday was “deliberately chosen” for the announcement because of its proximity to the July Fourth holiday, Van Flein said: “She declared her independence from politics as usual.’

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say she declared independence from rationality?
