"Real Americans" Promote Palin






"Reality" tv whores, Spencer and Heidi (or as Hollywood has dubbed them, "Speidi"), were caught completely unaware by those ever-lurking paps(ok, they have the paps on speed dial, the gig is up), and just so happened to be wearing unintentionally hilarious promotional gear for Repubs. Spencer, are you out hunting for your next meal in the Hollywood hills? Is that why you're hoisting the BB Gun over your shoulder? Heidi, are you promoting girl-power with your seductive lipstick kissed tank and short-shorts? The six-inch heels are a great accessory for the nature hike that you and your famewhore of a sleazebag of a doesn't-deserve-to-be-called-a-man-friend are embarking upon. And you clearly read up on the chapter entitled, "how to suck your 15 minutes of fame drier than the Sahara" in your book about profiting from our deteriorating (deteriorated?) economy! Could you simply not bear to place the book in your gigantor designer bag you're loafing around with? The Buds are a clever nod to your hero's "Joe Six-Pack" target audience, Spencer, you get double kudos for that one. Actually, throw me one of those frosties, I need one after wasting 10 minutes of my life incredulously gaping at you two. The message is clear folks- Vote Republican, and you too can be as cool as Speidi!

Flower From God

Beautiful.Mess.

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shouted cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, out of this earth
And times they turn, and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

The Financial Wizardy of the Treasury Department

The Financial Wizardy of the Treasury DepartmentHalfway through a Forbes article about how doomed the Paulson bailout plan is, Think Progress found this little gem from Treasury:

...some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure Treasury would use to buy up bad debt, are fuzzy.

"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number."

Awesome, guys. Way to inspire confidence.

Having a Slight Uncle Rico Crisis

Who wants to live with one foot in hell just for the sake of nostalgia? Our time is forever now! ~Alice Childress

Come up to meet you, tell you Im sorry
You dont know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
Im going back to the start
