God love ya, Joe!

God may love him, but will he be able to control his mouth in the upcoming debate? He might be better off wearing a duct tape gag, nodding and gesticulating in a statesman-like manner while Palin impales herself on her own incoherent blather.

Still, this is dangerous ground: 

"He's in a no-win situation," said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., an Obama backer. "If he stretches out his knowledge and expounds on all the things he knows, he runs the risk of being patronizing. If he is circumspect and is short-winded and deferential, he runs the risk of being patronizing. If he says everything he knows and is tough, he runs the risk of being a bully."  The Associated Press: Style and substance at stake for Biden, Palin

And if he says something incredibly stupid, well, he runs the risk of being the same old Joe Biden - stand up and let everybody see you, Joe!

Faster, Mommy! Kill! Kill!

Here's Sarah Palin with two other Alaska residents who can see Russia from Alaskan soil on a clear day - Palin's assessment of the foreign policy experience needed to be vice president of the U.S. Unfortunately, these two don't qualify to run; one due to age requirements, the other due to, hmmm, an untimely death.

My apologies to Piper (I'm guessing she's the little girl), who can't help being along for the ride.

If you aren't one of the rabid evangelical christian nation, be prepared to flee, because there's not a lot of room in their world view for the rest of us - separation of church and state isn't likely to be a high priority. This video shows Sarah Palin receiving a blessing that covers campaign finance and protection against witchcraft. Filmed shortly before she ran for governor of the great state of Alaska.

Or was it the snowmobile?
