Review: Going Palin


I think that should be a new version of 'Going Postal:' Going Palin is when a wingnut politician goes off the deep end.

And this line is simply the best:

Millions of copies will be sold of a book written by someone who can't write, intended for an audience that doesn't read, about the thoughts of a person who doesn't think. God is dead.

Can I get a hallelujah?

Multiple hallelujahs for KD.

k.d. lang

k.d. lang recorded a version of "Hallelujah" in 2004 on her album Hymns of the 49th Parallel. She has several times been chosen to sing the song at major events, such as the Canadian 2005 Juno Awards[10], where her rendition "brought the audience to its feet for a two-minute ovation."[11] Lang also sang it at the 2006 Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame on the occasion of Cohen's induction into the Hall of Fame.[12] Of that rendition, Cohen's partner, singer Anjani Thomas, said: "After hearing k.d. lang perform that song at the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2006 we looked at each other and said, 'well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It’s really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection'."[13]

Great cover of an incredible song. If you like this, you should also check out Jeff Buckley's version:

Ignore the slide show (dorky and not consistent with the song tone), just listen.

he/she/it is in a farcical mood. God is alive, but not paying much attention and is on a kidding around jag. There's no other explanation for Sarah Palin. Her popularity is evidence, not crime. Evidence of vast number of magical thinkers in the U.S. Maybe evidence of the failure of public education to teach basic reasoning skills.
