I get the whole healthcare debate but how the conservatives/neocons/teabaggers keep referring to Obama as Hitler just astounds me---some even go so far (like my brother) seem to think that Obama is building up a secret police (ala the SS)
"Mika, you need to buck up. I know you think this story has no purpose other than keeping Sarah Palin's name in the headlines for another news cycle. I know you think she has nothing to offer the national dialogue and that her speeches are just coded talking points mixed in with words picked up at random from a thesaurus.
I know you think Sarah Palin is at best a self-promoting ignoramus and at worst a shameless media troll who will abuse any platform to deliver dog-whistle encouragement to a far right base that may include possible insurrectionists. I know you think her reality show was pathetically unstatesmanlike and at the same time I know you believe it also represents the pinnacle of her potential. And that her transparent desperation to be a celebrity so completely eclipsed her interest in public service so long ago that there would be more journalistic integrity in reporting on one of the lesser Kardashian's ass implants.
I know that when you arrive at the office each day you say a silent prayer that maybe, just maybe, Sarah Palin will at long last shut up for ten fucking minutes. I know because I can see it in your eyes. Well, guess what, Mika. That's the gig."
After working a couple of years in customer service, I have come to the conclusion that 83% of human beings are mentally retarded. And I'm being generous here.
