The Juneau Video Edit

Lidia17 contacted me right after I posted Hooker Boots on Ice earlier this month and asked me if I would like her to develop a tighter edit of my favorite SP video, the Hike Around Juneau of February 13, 2008. Of course I replied that that would be most excellent! Since I have never been interested enough in digital YouTube video technology to install editing software on my computer and learn how to use it, I am very grateful to be able to present Lidia17's new edit here. She has entitled it Hiking in Juneau with Sarah Palin, and it's a doozy! I still prefer not to embed any video material in my blog just because it slows down the loading of the homepage, so you have to click the link above to see this new edit. For the time being at least, this is the only way to view it, as Lidia17 has it currently set on private at YouTube. Without further blabbering from me, please click the link and be prepared to be impressed. Thank you, Lidia17!

The Palin Future

This is my story and I'm sticking to it. I have said several things for years that have intertwined into a sizable knot for our beloved Republicans. First of all, the main reason Perry ran for and secured a third term as governor was that the country was on a very strong anti-Texan-as-President binge after the Shrub fiasco of two terms. That fervor against my state has subsided somewhat, now leaving Rick Perry in second place at Intrade behind the Mittenator, even before Perry has declared his intent. Just a moment ago, it took me about two seconds to locate this blog post and photo to enhance my prophecy. Here is the story to which I am stuck.

I do not believe there is a chance in hell that Sarah Palin will seriously challenge Rick Perry for the Presidency. I do think they could wind up together as our next nightmare, with her most likely at the bottom of the ticket. I do not think the Republican power brokers will allow her to be the top of the ticket paired with any candidate. Bachmann or Mittens could be the top, and I think either could possibly beat President Obama, but neither could do so as easily as Perry. The only wild card is Jon Huntsman, but I think his Mormonism will stop him in his tracks with the CINO's. If they decide they can tolerate a Mormon (which I seriously doubt), it will most likely be Mitt just because it is his turn, he has never worked with Obama, and he is more experienced, at least in the eyes of many. If I had to bet on the odds of whose chances for the Presidency today, I would pick Perry, Obama, Mittens, Bachmann, Huntsman, and Palin, in that order, with the chances of the first three running very close and the latter three dropping off rapidly.

With Trump chewing on his shoes and dumping his opportunity to drive the Camaro Pace Car, I have to put all my bananas in the Bachmann basket. She is the only one who can truly save us all at this point. How can she do that? Catfight! Catfight! Catfight! Bachmann can go to a debate and simply say, "But she's not here", and receive applause of approval. She can go on all the channels upon which Sarah is afraid to open her mouth. Sarah can act like a real politician. The difference is that Michele is not acting; she is a real politician.

One question I cannot answer at this point is whether or not Bachmann would be asked to be a VP candidate, and if so, by whom. There was a good article at Politicususa about Bachmann and Mittens. I am not sure that I agree with all of it, but this is certainly an article worth reading on the subject. My opinion is that this is a moot point until the dust settles over Palin and Perry, because I think they are a far more likely, and dangerous, and despicable, pair. If Mittens or Huntsman secures the Republican nomination, then the power brokers behind the CINO's are very likely to try to secure a rerun of 2008, as in Palin or Bachmann for VP. I have not mentioned Tim Pawlenty because I have never thought he has a prayer. He just does not have the looks or charisma. Yes, I know that is a terrible attitude, and I truly despise the fact that this concept even exists in our national politics, but it most certainly dominates our TV sets. This is one of the worst effects television has had on our culture, and there is not much we can do about it now. Ditto Santorum. He is nutty enough for any Tea Party crammed to the rafters with CINO's, but fortunately for us, he shares Pawlenty's political weakness, so that is one less nutcase for us to worry about.

Let me change channels here to discuss my old obsession. The two photos in Blind Allegiance have convinced me once and for all, as if I needed any further proof, that Gryphen has been correct from the beginning in his concept of the Two Babies. There is no question of whether there are or were more than one baby playing the part of Trig Palin. The questions are how many and why? Of course Tripp should not be left out of the inquiry, either, until the facts of the case have been finally proven. I am quite simply flabbergasted that no one outside the usual blogs has even mentioned the definitive photos printed in the book! There is one more question I would love to finally put to bed. How many of Ruffles ears are ruffled? I know the right ear is, but I am a bit unsure about the left, and how likely is either possibility, anyway?

I was thrilled last night to simply be able to channel surf a bit without seeing Bristol's despicable mug on my TV even once. I am not sure how long I intend to hold my breath on that issue, since her book is selling well at Amazon, as I would have expected. Just seeing that overpaid sleazebucket makes me want to barf just as much as it does you, but as always, I shall leave most of the Bristol blabbering to the other blogs. I am much more interested in the larger political and socioeconomic picture than I am in following how many plastic surgeries or houses Bristlebutt buys with her ill-gotten booty.

Circling back to the political race, one thing I agree with Joe McGinniss about is the September dating of the final potboiler for Palin. Although he may be somewhat just plugging his book release of the same month, September is a key player. The upcoming debate schedule includes: July 10 in Las Vegas, August 11 in Iowa, and three in September. Although some have predicted that Palin will enter the race on July 4, I don't think so. I think she will do so on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. A key element here is that the second upcoming debate is in Iowa, that hotbed of crazy conservatism that without Palin officially in the race, Bachmann will easily take by storm. Will Sarah stand idly by and let Michele do that? That is the question. Will Sarah step out of her chicken suit to debate Michele in Iowa? That is the second question. The first September debate is on 9/12/11 in Tampa and sponsored by CNN and the Tea Party Express. Do you see how that could be a real draw for Palin, yet she may want to avoid the CNN debate to compete in the Reagan, Reagan, all Reagan debate at his library two days later. (Note: the Reagan Library debate has since been moved up a week earlier to September 7, but the concept presented still applies.) Of course she may not be too thrilled with the fact that that one is televised from the enemy camp, NBC, instead of Fixed News. Ten days later on 9/22, the debaters return to Florida for the Fox debate in Orlando.

Can't you just feel the turmoil spinning throughout her cavernous little mind? If she decides to step up to the microphone and mix it up with Bachmann Turnip Overripe in August, yes, she could announce on July Fourth, or she could wait until the closing bell for the debate sign-up sheet. If Sarah wants to capitalize on the 9/11 Anniversary, she could skip the August debate and then catch the first one in September. However, by doing that, she would be letting Bachmann easily own Iowa. I do not expect her to enter all these debates, and she may continue to wear her chicken suit right to the very end. Nevertheless, I do expect her to officially run for President, even if only for a very brief period so she can add it to her resume. The big, tall Texas wildcard is her only nemesis other than Bachmann, and they are distinctly two different nemeses. Perry is her partner in leadership in cahoots with the same billionaire oilmen. They may run together, but they will not run against each other. Bachmann is the kind of political foe most feared by Palin. Perry and Palin are two of a kind in one way, but Bachmann and Palin are two of a kind in a much different way. Ladieeeees and gentlemen, let The Catfight of the Century begin!

Fast Times at Lakefront High

It is currently 101 in the shade of my front porch. I am not out on the lake because I never go out on the weekends. That is, after all, the point of retiring on the lake. You never again have to compete with the yahoos for parking space at the ramp or listen to the excuse for music that blares from the speakers of their daddy's $40,000 wakeboard boat. Of course 90% of those overpriced specialty towboats will never see a towee rise into the air and do a flip or a 360 like they always show in the brochure photos, but the spoiled brats always feel as if they deserve a specialized wakeboard boat to show off to the girls in bikinis who line up for a ride. Well, enough of the curmudgeon rant about whippersnappers, or as I prefer to call them, white punks on dope. What an excellent album title that was, back when we bought albums at the record store instead of stealing music from the artists on the internet. Kudos to The Tubes for that glorious title!

The boat pictured is an F32 by Dave's Custom Boats, a brand covered on Page 337-8 of my 2010 book, Ker-Splash 2. Note the four pipes exiting the stern of this green monster. They lead to a pair of big-block, breathed-upon, as we used to say in the old days, engines. There must be some reason that three axles are on this trailer!

Dave's Custom Boats is just one of countless little-known boat manufacturers covered in the book. Don't be put off by the Volume 2 designation added to this book. All of the pertinent content of Volume 1 has been included in Volume 2. The naming of this book was a bit tricky. The first book, published in 2002, was entitled KER-SPLASH: Recreational Power Boaters Guide, an appropriate title for that book. Ker-Splash 2 is a whole lot more than just a second edition of the first book. The subtitle had to be changed to better reflect the state of the boating industry in 2010, as it had so drastically changed from that of 2002. There are no photos in the first book, but lots of them in the second. Every manufacturer's address and corporate alliance has been updated in the second edition, leaving much of the first edition woefully out of date. The second edition is printed in a larger format, too, so the book is considerably bigger in content than its simple page count might indicate.

Many readers have been coming here to NIAFS looking for information on several rare, specific boats. These particularly include several '90's jewels as the Four Winns Unlimiteds. the Bayliner Reflexx and Jazz mini-jets, and the Wellcraft Scarab Jet 19. No one else is paying attention to these sweetly satisfying boats from the '90's. If you want to read more about these and others like them, you just need to buy your own copy of Ker-Splash 2. The $19.95 Amazon price is a bargain! Where else are you going to get this information? The book brings together data and entertaining info on many, many, of these rare powerboat brands. If you just want a quick reference, and you do not own a Kindle, just download the free Kindle PC and then pay a measly $5 for this wonderful reference book. It is true that there is no substitute for owning the real thing, a print copy, for many reasons, but the Kindle PC version is a cheap alternative. The Kindle version does not display the image quality or the quick index of the print version, but what do you expect for $5? The few competing books available contain far less information at a much higher price! What are you waiting for? Summer is here and it's hot!

Hooker Boots on Ice

Yes, I know this title is snarky, but I just could not resist it. For those of you who have been taken back a bit by my acidic tongue in recent posts, I only hope you will one day realize that I am actually a very nice guy. My goal for the last three years has been to slap the American voters awake. I don't want to just stop the political career of Sarah Palin; I want to stop the entire madness of this media-fueled Second Civil War that continually delays far more important issues. We need to unite against global warming, peak oil, and income inequality, just to name three. We all know this list could be much longer, but what are we doing? Arguing and slap-fighting over the endless Palin silliness as if our lives depended on it! Wait a minute? It does. She is the ringleader of the madness, so let's work our way down from the top.

Many of you have asked that I try to answer some of the now legendary, some would say offensive, others would say a long time coming, yet others would say rhetorical nonsense, and of course the ever popular egotistical slap-fights, 96 Questions. Yes, you are all correct in your descriptions of the questions: some are completely rhetorical; some you can already answer for yourselves, although you may be a bit timid concerning certain personal attitudes; and many just state things that many of us have pondered over these three agonizing years. There are two truths that will never be missing from anything I write. Every piece will be intended as both entertainment and information, hence the Nonfiction in a Fictional Style concept. You could call me the Sam Kinison of bloggers or the William F. Buckley, Jr., of entertainment, whichever suits you. What you think of me is always meant to be secondary to what you think about my message. I love America in a way that Ann Coulter never could. Was it Bill Hicks or President Obama who said that everybody is mad at me, so I must be doing something right?

Only a few of the 96 Questions are appropriate for a direct answer in a blog post. Number 6: Why do we so rarely see the February '08 video of Sarah walking around Juneau? is one of my favorite of these questions. I do not wish to slow down the loading of my blog with embedded video material, but here is a link to the February 13, 2008, Walk Around Juneau. Going back to the 2008 RNC, my wife spotted the future of Babygate immediately, but it took a few months for me to become totally in agreement with her position. The Walk Around Juneau video convinced me immediately as soon as I saw it the first time more than two years ago. I have found all the massive amount of still-photo analysis to be quite redundant ever since. The photo shown with this post is from exactly one month later on 3/12/08, if I have the photo dated correctly. If some of you know otherwise, I am sure you will let me know and I shall immediately either select another photo or change the date. You can see that Sarah is leaning forward slightly and is not seven months pregnant. I selected this particular photo from my files because this is a few days after the fake pregnancy was begun. The video clip represents a time a month earlier, when as far as I know, there was no discussion, or maybe even thought, of a planned fake pregnancy.

I do not know the direct answer to my Question #6. I can only guess that more people seem to be interested in the video with Janet Napolitano shot approximately one month later for several reasons. The most commonly stated seems to be that Sarah leans forward from a sitting position in that clip and she is always standing in this one. Another variable is that the Juneau clip is a month earlier, so Sarah was one month less pregnant at that time. It could be that people are attracted to it because of its closer proximity in time to her pregnancy announcement. My last comment is that it may just be because the Juneau clip contains several minutes of material that is somewhat irrelevant to the pregnancy case.

If you have not done so already, please stop reading now, click the link and view the video so we can talk about it together. I have no experience with video editing software, so the commercials and extraneous material have been left intact. The whole thing takes about ten minutes. Note that reader Lidia17 has created a somewhat shorter, and much better, special edit of the Hike Around Juneau video of 2/13/08. You will like this one much better, but in case you question the edits and slight modifications of the special version, you are welcome to compare it to the original.

The first thing you should notice is that snow and ice are everywhere, and yes, Sarah is wearing knee-high black leather boots with tall, skinny heels. You will have to sit through a little introduction to Juneau before Sarah even appears on the screen, but trust me: it's worth the wait! The on-camera video host greets her at the door and hands her a cup of hot coffee, which you will see that she holds in her hand for the remainder of the hike. I like this video because it was shot prior to any future conception, or should I say, misconception, of Babygate. I have watched this video many times, and the only possible six-month-pregnant person I see in this movie is the guy hosting it. She never winces, stumbles, slows down, looks carefully at her feet, or most importantly, does the pregnant woman duck waddle. She even almost collides with a fellow Juneau pedestrian without skipping a beat! Hot fox in hooker boots, yes; pregnant, no.

96 Questions for the Cult Followers

This post has absolutely nothing to do with the Sixties cult band, Question Mark & the Mysterions; however, it has a lot to do with the blind allegiance of cults. When I was growing up, some of us learned to be true rebels and question all authority. Although I was rarely in trouble as a kid and I have no criminal record, I feel as if I learned a valuable lesson from The Sixties about questioning authority. Most of my heroes to this day are rebels, from Peter Fonda to Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix to Dennis Hopper to Doug Sahm, not to mention authors such as Robert Rimmer, Al Franken, and Kurt Vonnegut. Let's not forget the great stand-up rebels, either: Richard Pryor, George Carlin, and Bill Hicks. We should all question everything! What have we got to lose by doing so? These questions concerning The Palin Matrix have been bugging me for a while, some for a very long while. I have been continually shocked that more of the followers of the development of the legendary fraud have not asked themselves these questions. What have they got to lose, other than their specific cult decoder ring? I wrote Paradigm Shift for the express purpose to make the readers think for themselves. Like Dylan said, I am younger than that now. I want my readers to read my opinions, question them, and make up their own minds. All my books are meant to entertain in a nerdy way, but I am not sure many prospective readers perceive that from my promotional blurbs. Here we go. Let the whines of indignant disapproval begin! To repeat, what have you got to lose?

Concerning Babygate in General:

(1) Where is Ruffles and what happened to him?
(2) Why not concentrate on the motive instead of the minute details of the case?
(3) When are you going to get tired of analyzing the same photos over and over?
(4) Okay, so you have proven that Sarah faked a pregnancy; now what?
(5) If you are so protective of the Palin kids, why do you find all the snark about them on the blogs to be acceptable?
(6) Why do we so rarely see the February '08 video of Sarah walking around Juneau?

Concerning Blind Allegiance:

(7) Why have you tolerated Ken Morris' tacky attacks on Joe McGinniss?
(8) Why have you not questioned Morris' relationship with Larry Kudlow?
(9) Why have you not questioned why Morris was involved in the project in the first place?
(10) Why have you tolerated all the snark against Joe McGinniss at Mudflats?
(11) Has it not occurred to you that BA would not be selling so well without the manuscript leak?
(12) Did those of you who read the leaked manuscript not notice the amateur writing style?
(13) Why have you never asked what happened to the original version called Renegade?
(14) Why did the original ghostwriters of Renegade back out of the deal?
(15) Could the e-mails have been published in the book without the previous leak?
(16) Bailey did not bail out of the inner circle until he was publicly thrown under the bus over Troopergate. What kind of repentant Christian is that?
(17) Why was Blind Allegiance released on a Christian imprint?

Concerning The Lies of Sarah Palin:

(18) Why was nothing heard from Geoffrey Dunn about Palin until he began to write articles for The Huffington Post?
(19) Has Dunn had any direct contact with Arianna Huffington?
(20) Did Arianna or one of her minions contact Dunn first, or did he contact them?
(21) When exactly did Dunn decide that he would never question the Babygate story?
(22) Why did Dunn reference Ochoa's Palin puff book and not The Palin Matrix, even though both were self-published and the latter contains far more new information?
(23) Why did Dunn reference Shushannah Walshe, an ex-Fox News employee and the co-author of a pro-Palin book, more than any other source?
(24) Why has Geoffrey Dunn made little effort outside his home town and the Babygate blogs to publicize his book?
(25) Why did Arianna withdraw her support from Dunn just days before the book's release?
(26) Why is Dunn's book little more than 98% regurgitation of known news stories, yet few acknowledge this fact?
(27) Why is at least a third of the page count just a reprint of familiar speeches and stories, yet no one acknowledges this, either?
(28) Do you not see that the great majority of the sales of the book have been directly spawned by its promotion on the Babygate blogs and briefly by Jack Cafferty on CNN?
(29) You can track the actual sales of the book at NovelRank.com. Have any of you actually done this and seen that the Amazon hardcover sales for April and May total only 322?
(30) Have you seen that the book has sold only 192 copies in the U.S. in the Kindle format?
(31) Are you aware that about 90% of all online book sales are through Amazon, and B&N and all the rest total only about 10% of the online sales of most books?
(32) Did you know that B&N ordering only two copies for each store is a standard procedure?
(33) Did you know that any books you see displayed in volume on a prominent table is the result of the publisher paying a sizable price for that display space in the store?
(34) Has it occurred to you that maybe the publisher of The Lies of Sarah Palin never planned from the beginning for this book to be a big seller with a significant marketing push?
(35) Geoffrey Dunn never once claimed that his book would expose proof of Babygate, Troopergate, Dairygate, Housegate, or any other gate. Why did you think that it would?

Concerning the Mainstream Media:

(36) Did you not notice that CNN has been giving a lot of time to The Tea Party since it began?
(37) Do you not realize that Gloria Borger is paid a lot more money at CNN than at PBS?
(38) Have you not noticed how many rabid right-wing pundits have been added to the CNN payroll?
(39) If you thought Kathleen Parker was ever going to tell the truth about Palin, maybe you did not see the special soliloquy she gave about her infamous earlier statement concerning Palin?
(40) Do you not understand why Shushannah Walshe is suddenly the new expert on Palin?
(41) Have you not noticed that Walshe and Scott Conroy are as wet behind the ears as that obnoxious little twerp, Ed Henry?
(42) Did you notice that CNN gave Candy Crowley her own show after she made her appearance on the tarmac in Anchorage AK to view the returning VP loser?
(43) Have you noticed that Joy Behar has wimped out on Babygate discussions countless times since getting her own show on HLN?
(44) Have you not noticed that CNN has gone to hell since Ted Turner was forced out?
(45) Do you really think that Keith Olbermann went to a dinky network with a small audience because he chose to do so?
(46) Do you really think John King is not in the pockets of Palin and any other Republican?
(47) How can you feel that dissing Trump and deleting his candidacy was a smart move, when he could have effectively blocked Sarah's plans for the nomination?
(48) Have you not noticed that Shepard Smith and Carl Cameron at Fox are probably more fair and balanced than John King, Gloria Borger, E. D. Hill, Bill Bennett, and others at CNN?
(49) Why does the vaunted Rachel Maddow never mention Babygate?
(50) Have you noticed that inquisitive hosts happen to be absent the days key guests appear, such as Whoopi not on the episode of The View with Frank Bailey?

Concerning Miscellaneous Bloggers:

(51) How many ways can Laura Novak and Dr. Brad Scharlott analyze the same old photos?
(52) Are Laura Novak and others going to still cling to the Trignostic meme until the inauguration?
(53) What do you really expect to accomplish by proving that Sarah faked a pregnancy, while ignoring all the ramifications, details, and motives?
(54) Exactly why are these bloggers choosing the Trignostic, coward's way out?
(55) If you are writing a book about Babygate, why do you not tell this truth to your readers?
(56) Why do you believe a book will stop the madness in the first place?
(57) Do you believe that your extensively detailed comments on these blogs will change the minds of more than a few voters who might actually read the blogs?
(58) Have you not figured out that the whole political blog phenomenon is little different than the contract jobs of the '80's or the internships of the '90's, working for the corporations for free?
(59) Do you really believe that Dr. Scharlott's Spiral of Silence is anything more than The Blockade I described in an innovative manner in The Palin Matrix?
(60) Why can you not see that all these bloggers and commenters are doing nothing more than preaching to the choir, and the corporations in control could care less?
(61) How exactly is one more detail of Babygate exposed on a blog going to reach the millions of low-information voters who only watch the news on TV?
(62) Why would you trust some new blogger who has recently jumped on the bandwagon after seeing the easy attention he or she can receive from discussing the fake pregnancy?

Concerning the Infamous Devon and Moore:

(63) Why would you trust Mudflats as a key source of anti-Palin truth when IM was not only established much earlier, but Gryphen helped Devon just like Breitbart helped Huffington?
(64) Did you not read the blog establishment dates in Paradigm Shift that clearly show that Shannyn Moore simply jumped on the Palin bandwagon after McCain's announcement?
(65) Are you aware that Shannyn Moore was a beauty contestant, just like Sarah?
(66) Are you aware that without actions taken by Devon and Moore, most of America would not even know who Joe Miller is?
(67) How can you call Jeanne Devon a professional writer after reading the childish attacks on Joe McGinniss posted at Mudflats?
(68) Have you asked yourself exactly why Devon needed to be involved in Blind Allegiance?
(69) Why have Devon and Moore so consistently denigrated the Babygate theorists?
(70) Why have the Mudflats cult members so righteously defended Devon against McGinniss?

Concerning the Mysterious Patrick:

(71) Where is he, really, and why does he have to remain so totally anonymous?
(72) How exactly did he get involved with Audrey's Palin's Deceptions?
(73) Why do we never hear a peep out of Audrey after the demise of her blogging career?
(74) Exactly what expenses are so necessary to run a free blog that Patrick must ask for money?
(75) How much tax-free cash has Patrick actually taken in from his cult followers?
(76) What is the truth behind his ongoing feud with Gryphen?
(77) What is the real reason Regina threw him off of Palingates?
(78) Why does Gryphen repeatedly imply that Patrick is not all aboveboard?
(79) Is Patrick writing a book, and if so, why has he not released it already?
(80) Patrick insists that the upcoming Babygate book he is promoting is not the same as the one by Fred promoted by Gryphen. Is this the whole truth?
(81) If Patrick really is in Germany, why does he care so much about American politics?
(82) Do any or some of the regular commenters at PoliticalGates know Patrick's identity?
(83) Why have none of the right-wingers attacked Patrick to expose his identity?
(84) Why does Patrick insist on suppressing any Babygate theory other than that of Bristol giving birth to Trig in early '08 and Bristol birthing Tripp in December '08?
(85) Does he really have proof of this or is he just scamming us all for some personal reason?

Concerning Gryphen:

(86) Why does Gryphen insist on allowing Anonymous comments instead of installing Disqus?
(87) Why does he insist on moderating all the comments before posting them?
(88) How can Gryphen claim the high road when he curses in his posts and often goes relentlessly after the Palin kids, sometimes referring to them in an unkind manner?
(89) What happened to the Palin divorce issue?
(90) What happened to the Bristol is pregnant in 2010 issue?
(91) Why does Gryphen rarely report on easily noted issues in his vicinity, such as what is going on with the Palin family members and the compound?
(92) Why does he relentlessly protect the anti-Babygate meme as spewed by Devon and Moore?
(93) How many melting icebergs is it going to take before you see that Gryphen is just in it for his own benefit, and he will continue to string his readers along?
(94) Does Gryphen currently have a job, or is his income now derived completely from IM?
(95) Why is he supporting Ken Morris, who has repeatedly attacked Gryphen's supposed other friend, Joe McGinniss?
(96) What is in Paradigm Shift that Gryphen does not want you to read?

Texas Thunderclap

Okay, I give up. I cannot shut up about politics. Here is the new electoral map released after the most recent census, you know, the one after Obama was elected. First of all, notice that eight states have gained electoral votes and six of those are right-wing crazy and only two still have any sanity left. Yeah, I know. You want Florida to be put into the sane group, but that will not be easy unless the Medicare/SS issue opens their eyes this time. This is the same map that Karl Rove has been talking about, and unfortunately, I agree with him on this talking point. President Obama must not only reinforce the voting bloc he developed in '08, but he must overcome this new challenge of increased popular and electoral college votes in six at least moderately large red states. Note also too the major blue states that have lost votes since Obama's juggernaut. He better get busy and fire up some mad, old, white seniors. I'm not holding my breath.

It has been my opinion since the 2008 election that the only reason Jeb Bush is not stirring up old people in Florida is because of the Bush name. I have also felt that Rick Perry ran for an unprecedented third term at least somewhat because the mood of the country did not want another Governor of Texas in The White House. Now that he has held his extended governorship for a while, I think he may be ready to make his move. Unlike Governor Quittypants, he will be running as a three-term governor with executive experience. Have you noticed how Fox News and the other red pundits just love that phrase? They will have nice things to say about Governor Goodhair from the moment he announces his candidacy. When he does, Pawlenty's only lament will be something akin to Holy Sh*t and Governor Q will stomp off the stage in the ultimate pout. Pawlenty cannot beat The Hair and neither can Sarah. He has everything they want: Methodist; check. The look, the height, the hair, and the voice; check. Secessionist crap; check. Heartless toward minorities and poor people; check. Whines about federal funds, then begs for them; check. Mittens will be trying to pin his flip-flops on him. Bachmann Turnip Overripe will be angling for the VP spot before Pawlenty stops crying and spots the competition for the Number Two position.

I like Rick Perry only a little less than George Bush the Shrub, although I like him better than Bush's parents. I actually had a dream a few days ago in which I was at a party. I was sitting back in a comfortable recliner with Barbara Bush sitting on top of me. I tried to be courteous to her by saying that I thought her son had done at least a few good things while he was in the big house, but she was having none of it. I was just another loudmouth liberal pig, as far as she was concerned, and she was going to vehemently refute anything I tried to say to her. Why on earth was she sitting in my lap in a dream? I think it was this whole Texas red politician thingie that has been weighing on my mind so much lately. Or maybe it was just one of our cats sitting on top of me while I slept. Sometimes they consider that a highly regarded perch for a long licking session. The psychologist has promised to get back to me with his dream analysis.

There is no guarantee at this point that Perry will enter the race, but my point is that if he does, his chances of winning both the nomination and the general election are considerable. If Perry surprises me and stays here in Austin, then Michele Bachmann becomes my best friend. She is the only one left who can beat Palin at her own game. Butthead Badhair really disappointed me when he let A. J. Foyt drive that Camaro Convertible Pace Car this weekend. A few weeks ago, I thought he and Bachmann had Palin in a really effective crossfire, but we all sat and watched as he trumped his own electoral chances by cursing in a speech, proving that he had no sense of humor about his laughable self, and chickened out of one of the best car-nut honors on the planet!

I am not yet ruling out Mittens and his flip-flops or the snooze campaign of Pawlenty, but neither one has the attention of their own batbutt crazy constituents. I surely do want to see The Catfight of the Century if Bachmann really has the guts to slap the silly out of Palin. The first thing I want to see Michele do is to officially declare and show up at the New Hampshire debate on June 13 and call Sarah out as the chicken she truly is for not being there! Then I would like to see both of them show up at a later debate and Michele rip The Chicken a new one using her higher level of education, experience, control of the English language, and willingness to face the media.

I said back in early '09 that Sarah has up to an 80% chance at the Republican nomination and up to a 40% chance at winning the Presidency. The first one that could have thrown a monkey wrench with a birth certificate attached into that plan has already benched himself and slunk back to his hotel. The next candidate on the agenda is most certainly Bachmann. I am supporting her all the way, baby, because I do not think she can win either the nomination or the Presidency, but she can sure as hell block Palin. One of the wild card issues we cannot entirely dismiss is if the red movers and shakers are going to sacrifice a weak candidate to the Obama altar this time. I seriously doubt it, but I do not rule out the possibility. The other angle will be if somehow the Dr. Frankie Repubs can shove their way past their own unleashed monster to nominate a sane candidate of the wrong religious persuasion. It's his turn versus the charisma of craziness. There is a Texas thunderstorm on the horizon, and I have mixed feelings about it. Sarah and Rick are pals and both are crazy mean, but at least Rick Perry has a bit more going for him in the brains, education, and experience departments.

The Cover Story

I do not often retract things I have said after thinking the issues through, but this is one of those rare instances in which I cannot remain quiet any longer. I recently told my wife and others that I had no intention of ever writing another word about politics. I tried to save the world and the world did not wish to be saved. This story will not be nearly as explicit as it could be because I am way beyond swatting the hornets' nest just to see what flies back out at me. I did plenty of that many months ago just to learn exactly who the real skunks are, and they did indeed poot their stink pointedly back in my direction. Maybe this will truly be my final political words so I can get back to doing what I do, writing books for people who are truly inquisitive about various subjects. First we shall cut to the chase with a brief opening statement and then follow up with a more detailed history of what has transpired among the so-called anti-Palin bloggers and various factions of the mainstream media over the past three years.

NOBODY with any large number of readers truly wishes to halt the career of The Queen. Each and every one of them places his or her own journalist/pundit/blogger/author career, whatever that goal may be, above all else, including the saving of the world from this monster unleashed by John McCain. As with Babygate itself, the circumstantial evidence supporting this issue is simply overwhelming.

Here are just a few of the many incidents involved in this travesty. Markos Moulitsas pulled the first Babygate story from The Daily Kos soon after it first appeared. Arianna Huffington has been supporting Palin religiously. The only anti-Palin writers allowed on The Huffington Post are also anti-Babygate, and this includes three of the key bloggers and one of the key authors. That same author has referenced the work of Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe as much or more than any other source. These two are the authors of a softball Palin book and the latter is a former employee of Fox News. This same Huffington Post author also references three little-known, self-published books, one of which is strongly pro-Palin-for-President, in his book. (The relevance of this will be clarified later in this post.) The reason this author's book is not displayed everywhere is that neither the author nor the publisher is more than minimally supporting it. There is no conspiracy or blackout by Barnes & Noble or Borders or the press. Even Jack Cafferty plugged the book on CNN! Now if you want to ask why they are not promoting it more, now that is a legitimate question. Could it be because it is boring? Every issue in Geoffrey Dunn's exquisitely, perfectly researched book has been compiled from previous journalistic sources. There is not one bit of it that is new material. There is not a single, seriously controversial issue detailed in that book. Anyone who says otherwise is just deliberately obfuscating the truth. Take note that I am not accusing Geoffrey Dunn of anything other than being chicken! Mr. Dunn has not once stated any untruth concerning the content of his book. These untruths emanate from his cultist fans and relentless anti-Palinites. From its public inception many months ago, Geoffrey Dunn has personally been completely honest about the content and purpose of his book. It has been the bloggers and their individual cults who have not. The only thing I would like to know is if the publisher of The Lies of Sarah Palin was expecting Arianna Huffington to provide the support for the book, and did she back out of the deal just days before the book's release, or was the whole project never meant to have much lasting effect on Sarah's career in the first place?

Those of you who are expecting Levi Johnston to tell the whole truth in his upcoming book are just deluding yourselves. The reason is not that you are stupid, or that Levi is, either, but that the prosecution of Levi's mom had the desired effect of shutting up both Levi and his mouthy little sister. None of us should blame Levi (or Mercede) for the result of this sinister plot to keep them quiet. The one part in which I do, however, think Levi has displayed incredible stupidity has been his choice of lawyer and bodyguard. I think if Levi had gotten out of Alaska and released a ghostwritten book the moment he sensed Sarah's betrayal of him in late 2008, things would have been very different. Of course his mom had already been detained by that point. The Palins have never been stupid. They are cunning, and that is precisely what makes them dangerous.

Joe McGinniss is of course quite correct when he says that no book is going to stop the monster. I have been saying the same thing for years, even in my own book. Look at Joe's bibliography; he certainly ought to know! The media stops the monster, then the book tells the whole sordid story of the investigation in detail, usually years after the fact. I have never in my life seen so many otherwise intelligent people act so hardheaded about such a subject! It is as if they will hang onto absolutely anything that could have even the remotest possibility of doing the dirty work for them. Are you hearing me, bloggers? What part don't you understand? How many times do you think you can publish the same damn photos repeatedly and yet never produce a different result? Do you really not know what echo chamber or preaching to the choir means? Has it not occurred to all you babbling, whining, relentlessly repetitive commenters that little has changed in the past three years, yet the cult leaders you so religiously worship keep asking for your money and attention? Are you going to be asking the same questions months or years from now that are seemingly never answered by your cult leaders? How much teasing and brainwashing are you going to take before you wake up and smell the scam?

One of your cult leaders has selected his thesis and presented only evidence that verifies that thesis. Any evidence that might point to a different result is derogatorily ignored. His thesis will not stop the monster. It might slow her down a little, but it will not stop her. The reason lies with the original motive of the Babygate scam. A significant part of the paradigm shift is that the CINO's (Christians In Name Only) do not give a rat's ass if Sarah's teenage daughter had a baby out of wedlock. What do you think this is, The Fifties? Do you really think that this has been the entire reason for the monstrous level of media cover-up? And even if by some wild chance in hell it was, why would a rabidly, relentlessly anonymous lawyer in Frankfurt, West Germany, give a gnat's butt what some ruthless U.S. politician planned to do to The Republican Party that other nutball candidates had already accomplished? The last time I watched Law & Order, it seemed that lawyers already had plenty to do to make themselves rich outside the silly blogosphere. A cult is a cult is a cult, whether we are speaking of Palinbots or Babygators.

Another famous blogger may as well install a stripper pole on his blog because he is one helluva teaser! We must certainly be experiencing global warming because those icebergs dripping down from Alaska seem to consistently melt before they reach the Good Ship Palin! Ask yourself, cult readers, why does the teasing never stop? How many times do you get to ogle the same obnoxious Palin faces and read the same old icebergian malarky before it all just runs together into a puddle? Don't try to tell me that the blog proprietor's relationships with certain anti-Babygate bloggers has nothing to do with this relentless travesty of cult wrangling. They have everything to do with it! You really want to know the truth? Ask yourself why so many issues are never mentioned or followed up on that dubious Alaskan blog. Why are your cultist questions never answered? Why are all the Anonymous comments encouraged and why are they relentlessly moderated? I know many of you have asked this very question of the cult leader and he never responds. Why is that? Obamabots are a cult, too.

One of your favorite bloggers is rich beyond your wildest dreams. Do you know who she is? Do you really think she cares about income inequality or the effect President Palin would have on your financial future? Here is a hint: this blogger cares only about the issues of feminism and political correctness, and the specific methodology she has employed to brainwash you into reading her blog and religiously singing her praises. She could have long ago hired an investigator to uncover Babygate using DNA or some other method and her bank account would hardly have noticed the hiccup. Who takes a twelve-hour journey to frozen Alaska in the middle of winter, doesn't even visit Wasilla while there, and returns twenty-four hours later, all seemingly for the purpose of selling a couple of minimally-sized books to her small cadre of fans?

We are now back at the end of our journey, you and me. To those of you who have read my own blog posts and comments on other blogs these past three years should realize that I have swatted this hornets' nest of bloggers several times before. Stand back while I just blurt it out. My book Paradigm Shift: The Palin Matrix has quite obviously been consistently suppressed by all the above referenced bloggers, journalists, and authors since its release on 1/1/11. None of them wants you to read the material in this book. For those few who have read it, I am sure you have noticed that all of these bloggers were given credit for their efforts and treated professionally throughout Paradigm Shift. Even many of the cultist commenters were mentioned in the opening pages of the book. The Bibliography of Paradigm Shift offers many significant clues to the reality. You can read about the other books, their authors, and the blogs in this bibliography. Any hornet swatting I may have done on my Palin Babyagte blog was deleted in the editing of Paradigm Shift. I took the high road all the way, even while knowing that this road was probably the only lie in the book. I had long ago figured out who the skunks of this scam are, and several months after the release of my extensively detailed story of all the Babygate theories, there is no question whatever that the stink I have been smelling is quite pungent and real. Paradigm Shift is still the only published book that honestly discusses Babygate in detail, and all the cult leaders you have been worshiping do not want you to read it. Have you ever seen one of them say otherwise in a blog post? I rest my case, and I am not even a lawyer.

The cover story is that the Babygate theorists are all wearing tinfoil hats. I know there are plenty of you out there in blogland who are certain there is something truly wrong with this cover story. You have a brain and you can think. The motives of Sarah Palin have been a lot more sinister from their origins than has been publicly presented. You know the story does not add up to the simple case of a mother protecting her daughter or a politician avoiding a minor scandal of gnat's butt proportion. It has been a very convenient and effective cover story from the beginning, folks. Sarah Palin is making a lot of people famous. If she is ever completely knocked off the public stage, all their repetitive blog posts, photo arrays and icebergs will be quickly forgotten. They will return to being the nobodies without a public voice that they were before August 2008. That is the last thing they want to happen, and that in a nutshell is the big secret.

Of course I would like to sell more copies of Paradigm Shift. I would like to sell more copies of my other five books, too. The key to this angle, though, is that I could have spent a lot less years composing a lot less than 212,000 words and have easily sold a lot more books. I have never asked for money on any of my blogs and none of them have ever included advertising. The only fame or income I might possibly derive comes directly from my book royalties. I don't have a team of lawyers, editors, or agents helping me write my books, as do all the other authors critical of Palin. My book is more than fairly priced for its size in all formats. Like Joe McGinness, I am an author with a number of sizable, originally composed books under my keyboard. Unlike most of the Palin books discussed in this post, The Palin Matrix is not packed with reprints of the words of Sarah Palin or other writers. It is completely original material you will not read anywhere else. Many of you have expressed the concept that the truth cannot be suppressed forever. Why are you standing by and letting this happen to the many questions of Babygate?
