Isn't the Republican party symbolized by an Elephant? And Miz Palin, isn't the donkey (so prominently featured on your scarf) the symbole of the Democratic party..? Just wond'rin'.
In other Palin-related news...
"Despite a war in Iraq, another in Afghanistan and a world economic system teetering on the brink of collapse, the good people of Washington D.C. are chattering this afternoon about one thing and one thing only: Sarah Palin's wardrobe. As the Politico first reported last night, the Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 "to clothe and accessorize" Palin since she joined the GOP ticket in late August--a sum that includes purchases of $49,425.74 from Saks Fifth Avenue, $75,062.63 from Neiman Marcus, $9,447.71 from Macy's and $5,102.71 from Bloomingdales." After Politico.com (who broke the story) began to comment on the legality of the shopping spree, the McCain campaign said “it was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purchase after the campaign.”(via Newsweek)
Now, I'm sure you're all curious to know exactly how it is the government plans on paying off the recent $700 billion bail out plan. Well, according to BBSpot, there was a little tiny clause in the rescue plan that allows the Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to auction off one of our 50 states...
"David Myerson of the Congressional Budget Office said, “We expect to raise billions of dollars no matter what state is chosen by voters except for Oklahoma, that'll bring considerably less. California on the other hand could raise trillions, and boy are we going to need it.”
A list of states determined in a closed session by Paulson and the Senate Finance Committee will be added to ballots around the country. To avoid any conflict of interest, no state on the list will get to vote in the process. “If you don't see the list of states on your ballot that means your state is up for sale,” said Paulson."
*giggle* And my favorite line? "The Bush administration backs the plan as it appears to be the only viable option left."
(Oh, and please note that BBSpot IS a satirical site known for it's fake newsposts - I don't want there to be an misunderstandings here)
Okay, satire'd out. Good night.
