A Republican politician's popularity among the party's conservative base is directly correlated to the politician's ability to engender contempt from the liberal media. In observing Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" media blitz, it's clear to me that she understands this axiom. The "perky one" and other Palin haters, on the other hand, don't seem to grasp that their attacks serve to legitimize the very politicians they seek to undermine.

love this woman. Palin 2012.

Nethack is a better game.

Hahahaha, this is classic from Rueters....

"Guess what? It turns out the Chinese are kind of curious about how President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform plans would impact America’s huge fiscal deficit. Government officials are using his Asian trip as an opportunity to ask the White House questions. Detailed questions.

Boilerplate assurances that America won’t default on its debt or inflate the shortfall away are apparently not cutting it. Nor should they, when one owns nearly $2 trillion in assets denominated in the currency of a country about to double its national debt over the next decade."

Not that I'm unhappy about it as it's sad that we can't form our own policy, but it's clear that Washington has not a clue on how to run this country and specifically its finances. And now we have an emerging economy, built on the back of our debt, cooly dictating policy and even they recognize what a drain NGH will have on our financial future!

Couldn't make this stuff up.
