This is what class looks like

Gov. Sarah Palin, on the Wasilla Bible Church fire:

"(Palin) told an assistant pastor that she apologizes if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice presidential candidate on Aug. 29. Whatever the motives of the arsonist, the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good."

Best Superpower EVAH!

I've finally decided what the best superpower ever is - the ability to shoot bacon from my eyes. I could instantly weaken my opponents, who will be feasting on all that greasy-goodness.  They would be so distracted I could stomp on them with my high heels and pound them with my purse. Once they are out cold, I can feast on the bacon and laugh at my enemy's stupidity. Pure joy! What Marvel comic or superhero do you know that can compete with that? Seriously.

Bacon FTW!

Salvation Army in trouble

If this is happening nationwide, maybe we all could pitch in just a little more.

The Salvation Army said it may need to reduce some of its services despite increasing demand because of lack of donations in Denver.

Capt. Ron McKinney, city coordinator for The Salvation Army, said people are seeking services from the charity in numbers that haven't been seen in decades but donations are down 30 percent. Salvation Army officials said because of the decline in donations, 360 families seeking services were turned away last month.

A commenter there pointed out that if we each just gave up one froufrou coffee, we could make a huge difference.

Possible arson at Sarah Palin's home church

This was in an email from Team Sarah:

While details are sketchy and more will be updated, apparently, according to FOX News, a church in Wassila that is supposed to be "Sarah Palin's home church" experienced an act of possible arson today.

Ladies in the building who were doing arts and crafts saw smoke, fled the building, and contacted the authorities.

The sprinklers came on preventing and damage beyond the offices and a few classrooms, but the damage was estimated at over $1 million in costs.

It is not known if this is arson what the motive may be.

I'm sure those of us who pray will be doing so for Wasilla Bible Church.

Keep your planes to yourself

Indian aircraft violated Pakistan's airspace Saturday but were chased back over the border by Pakistani fighter jets, an Air Force spokesman here said.

Uh, guys, can we not do this right before Christmas?  I'd prefer if we didn't end up having to ship out troops during the holidays for ass-whooping purposes a peacekeeping mission.

Saturday morning cleansing

So, I'm guessing all of you Morons have been out to bars, taverns, and railroad yard hobo-hunts, and you're staggering back home for a little hair of the dog, bacon, coffee, pancakes, and more bacon. 

That's fine.  But I'm pretty sure you all would have been home, knitting and/or reading your Bibles (I'm sure I would have been) last night if it weren't for some sort of bad influence.  Namely, Big Boob Friday.

That's right, pictures of busty wenches have led you astray.  You've been hoodwinked, bamboozled by visions of huge bazooms.  Well, I'm here to lead you back down to earth with something that's more realistic and more pleasing at the same time.  Something that will lead those of you who have strayed back to the path of...uhhh...well...it's something I find inspirational, and it's below the fold...

Bush to Obama: How's about you stay on Chicago a little longer, cowboy?

The Bushes are denying the Obamas the right to move into the Blair House.

The White House has turned down a request from the family of President-elect Barack Obama to move into Blair House in early January so that his daughters can start school on Jan. 5.

The Obamas were told that Blair House, where incoming presidents usually stay in the five days before Inauguration Day, is booked in early January, a spokesperson to the Obama transition said. “We explored the idea so that the girls could start school on schedule,’ the spokesperson said. “But, there were previously scheduled events and guests that couldn’t be displaced.”

Even better, the New York Times doesn't seem too happy about it:

It remained unclear who on Bushes guest list outranked the incoming President.

“It’s not a public schedule,” said Sally McDonough, spokeswoman for First Lady Laura Bush, in refusing to disclose who was staying at Blair House. “It’s not a question of outranking the Obamas. Blair House will be available to them on January 15.”

That made my cold, black heart go pitter-pat.

Anthrax in Nevada - update: false positive

The white powder letters sent to thirty governors' offices this week has been reported to be harmless, until today.

A News 4 crew on the scene reports that hazmat officials returned a 'hit' for anthrax on the white powder found in the state capitol mailroom that has forced its employees into quarantine along with our Lemor Shlomof.

Update: I figure since thirty governors' offices have reported white powder mailings, we can assume the US Post Office is enjoying a 40% mail loss rate.

Another update: Turns out it was a false positive.  Whew!

Troubling News In The Moronosphere

Turns out Paul Anka's wife was arrested today.

According to the police report, Anna allegedly hurled a piece of ice at Paul that hit him in the head. Paul went to the hospital to get the resulting wound closed up with two staples, then later returned home to find no sign of Anna.

The police report says Paul called authorities and reported her missing. When Anna eventually returned home, cops became aware of the situation and arrested her for domestic battery. The Ventura County D.A.'s office rejected the case.

Stolen from the comments section.

From The "You're Doing It Wrong" File

I think this hobo may need to brush up on his self preservation skills.

Fire spokesman Jason Evans said a man had been in the stairwell and had gathered newspapers and candles to stay warm. One of the candles may have tipped and started the fire.

The man was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital with second- and third-degree burns, Mr. Evans said. His name was not being released because of patient privacy laws.

Full Circle

Listen, as a Canadian teaches us what is and is not "American":

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) said it was "un-American" for senators to have voted against approving a bailout of troubled automakers last night, saying their vote may cause a recession to become a depression.

"It is unacceptable for this un-American, frankly, behavior of these U.S. senators to cause this country to go from a recession into a depression," Granholm said during a radio interview Friday morning.

Standing up against a socialist bailout for the UAW is now un-American.  Spectacular.  Granholm shouldn't worry, though, because lame duck President Bush is going against the will of the voters and giving out the auto bailout money anyway.
