Once, when we were in debate camp...

Palin heads to ‘debate camp’ in Arizona

CNN) — As some prominent conservatives begin to raise the question of whether Sarah Palin should remain on the Republican presidential ticket – and others call for her to be given more public exposure in a bid to reverse falling poll numbers – the McCain campaign is bringing the Alaska governor to John McCain’s Sedona ranch for several days of intense debate prep.

Senior campaign advisor Steve Schmidt and other top officials met Palin in Philadelphia Sunday night, and are traveling with her and McCain to a Columbus, Ohio event Monday morning. The group then heads to Arizona.

The original plan was for Palin to prepare in St. Louis, where the vice presidential debate will be held Thursday. Instead, she has already been preparing in a Philadelphia hotel for four days with advisors. She will now get ready for the debate at McCain’s rustic creek-side home — what a top aide calls "debate camp."

The aide, who's part of the team prepping Palin, tells CNN they decided to take her to debate camp there because it is an "invigorating and enjoyable place to prepare for Thursday."


Apparently someone in the McCain campaign saw that clip of Sarah trying to talk (emphasis on trying) on the TV. Somehow she'd gotten away from her handlers in her hotel room and was standing in one of those parking lot-like restaurants where you get your meal from a lady in a window. Or rather, they call out your name when your order's ready (the dead-eyed woman sleeping through her miserable job blandly asked Sarah for hers, and it didn't register any recognition within her, despite being surrounded by lights and cameras).

Someone made the moment more surreal by asking her a vague question about Pakistan, and her answer was also vague, nonsense words being tossed around with all the others being spoken in the busy little area... place? Parking lot.

Finally someone in McCain's camp said "Fucking Christ will someone reign her in already?!"

Police say teen plotted to kill mom for breast implants

FOUNTAIN, Colorado (AP) -- A Colorado teenager hired men to kill his mother so he could use her money to get breast implants for his girlfriend, police said.

Nikita Lee Weis, 18, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, said Fountain Deputy Police Chief Mike Barnett.

Weis' mother, Hyun Weis, was attacked Thursday with a small wooden baseball bat at her home but escaped, authorities said. She was released Friday from a hospital.

1 - The headline as it was, I was really hoping that this story was about a son loving his mom's implants so much that he wanted to gouge them out of her and put them in his own chest.

2 - Seeing that the weapon of choice is as it was, are we sure that the "men" hired for this job weren't actually a couple of 4th graders in little league?

Anyway. This has been a very random post.

Separated at birth?

I knew I'd seen that face before... Sarah Palin is the reincarnation of Nellie Olson!
