Sarah Palin, an example of sophistication and class. While there is no signature lipstick line yet, there is a strong vote yes for the Sarah Palin look. Next will be the trickle down to the entertainment industry.
This post was deleted for the following reason: This is kind of lightweight weirdness, we've got no shortage of Palin talk on the site already, and the thread is already veering straight into generic Palin chatter. This may not be a good time to try and do this. -- cortex
I would like this post better if it were framed as Halloween costume advice. To quote somebody on another site, Sarah Palin will be this year's Amy Winehouse.

Damn right. Nothing says class like hunting wolves from a light aircraft, and likening yourself to a makeup wearing dog is definitely a sign of sophistication in my book.

Well, I was going to go as Palin for halloween, as it's about the scariest thing this side of a nuclear holocaust - but now I can see I'm going to have to step it up.
How do you feel about Nancy Reagan?

Palin's interview with Katie Couric (1, 2) is a thing of beauty.
Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish... but it expressed a courage that is little seen in this day and age.

Palin defends Alaska-Russia foreign policy remark:
Sarah Palin defended her remark that the close proximity of Russia to her home state of Alaska gives her foreign policy experience, explaining in a CBS interview airing Thursday that "we have trade missions back and forth."
Palin has never visited Russia and until last year the 44-year-old Alaska governor had never traveled outside North America. She also had never met a foreign leader until her trip this week to New York. In the CBS interview, she did not offer any examples of having been involved in any negotiations with the Russians.

What the fuck -- I'm on the Paula Young email list AND get the catalog by mail for TWO goddam years, spending half my free time marveling at the monumental Montana and making up background stories for all of the models, and you think you can just ROLL ON UP in here like you know Paula? Lemme tell you something about Paula. She does NOT fuck around. Girl has false eyelashes made of REAL HUMAN HAIR, bitch, you better show some respect!!
*sigh* I'll just save my own dazzlingly thorough Paula Young post for a future election where all the candidates are bald.
Also:
Sarah Palin costume = predictable
Sarah Palin costume with dress tucked into back of pantyhose = hilarious
Sarah Palin costume with Terminator prosthetic makeup ="Masque of the Red Death"-caliber terrifying

And now that loq put the idea in my head, I'm thinking maybe I should get every guy I know to go as Palin this year. There would be something surreally awesome to see twenty or thirty guys of varying age, ethnicity, and weight, all wearing the hair, glasses, and lipstick.
Bonus points if I can convince them all to affect that really irritating shrill voice of hers.

A friend and I were talking the other night how if she and McCain were elected, that dozens of gay men dressed as Palin should immolate themselves en masse in front of the White House. Pop culture would never recover.

From the Telegraph link:
"The former beauty queen and prospective Republican vice-president drew accusations that she had put on glasses and tied back her hair simply so she would be taken seriously at the party's national convention."
No one said that until you did, just now. I am tired of "journalism" and would like it to be replaced by journalism.
Even better: since everyone in school has to source their essays - from sixth graders to graduate students - why not make "journalists" and journalists alike start sourcing their fucking bullshit stories? When you make a claim like that, have a fucking note that points to where you got that "fact."
Goddamn, even Wikipedia does that.
We live in a world where newspapers refuse to back up their claims, but an online dictionary edited by furries and virgins is the most heavily sourced thing this side of the goddamn Physical Review B.

Sorry about the tiny urls. Testing of the Telegraph and Style super-extended-dance-version urls were unsuccessful, but resolved with tinyurl. Gomenasai.

I was going to suggest that perhaps giving women the vote was a big mistake, but the, so you gentle folks would not chastise me for being a male chauvinist pig, I decided instead to note that when Hitler came to power, just about everyone in or out of govt thought it cool to imitate his moustache. It became all the rage. So too, Saddam's butt boys sported his moustache. And Jackie O's pillbox hat? and how many guys went out and bought rocking chairs after seeing JFK in his?
