Luncheon at Liberal Rapture

5 agenda items today.

1. Sarah be serious. Palin headed to Asia to speak to CLSA Investors Forum following in the footsteps of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Alan Greenspan. Watch this woman. She means business. I always saw Palin as being more politically talented then she was given credit for -but, even I, thought she was sunk nationally after the "death panels" facebook....not so...this woman is clearly serious about...something...One has to assume POTUS....Here is who is in her way as of August 31, 2009:

a. Obama - think she can't beat him by 2012?....hahahahahaha. Look closer. By 2012 it is entirely feasible that I would be able to beat him.
b. Romeny - He's got to explain the Massachusetts health care plan. The Conservatives in New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina won't be easy on him.
c. Tim Pawlenty - Palin's real competition.
d. Newt - Maybe.I think he's done nationally. I could be wrong..
e. Jindal. Ho ho ho. She'd squish him.

2. Braggin on Friends: Check out the trailer for Motherhood. My friend Javier is in it! (He yells at Uma Thurman toward the end.) This fact I own and freely enjoy: I promote my friends whenever I can...A. Because I am blessed with them. B. Because it makes me seem cooler than I am.
Plus it does look like a sweet film.


3. Good Deed: I'm a little thrown by the reaction here to Splendeed. I like the pay it forward aspect. Is there something wrong with "pay it forward"? Haven't made my meal for a homeless person yet but I will this week. I am grateful for the suggestion....Should I be cynical about this? Frankly, doing 1 good deed - or 2 or 3 or 16 - in your personal sphere is a direct counterpoint to all that Hope and Change bullshit from the Obots...Without the element of star fuckery 75% of the "liberals" in America would be M.I.A.

Interesting thing on the site today - a few people have recounted their experience doing it....fascinating.

4. Quote: According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.

Bodhidharma

5. Because I feel like it: Bettie Serveert, Unsound. Have I posted this song? Not sure...I really love it...What's not to like about a song that starts with -

I took a Tylenol and an hour's drive. And somehow found a reason why I'm still alive...
