So, Sarah Palin is, obviously, a right-wing idiot. She is intellectually unsophisticated and shows her talent only when given opportunities for knee-jerk quips. This brings to mind another of her unpleasant characteristics: She's a whiny bitch.

I watched the clip of this supposed bitter offense (here) and have to tell you, I don't see anything about it, I mean anything, that appears to make fun of Trig. Sarah Palin and her knuckleheaded daughter are just plain fabricating outrage.

The character, the daughter of "an accountant and an ex-governor of Alaska" has Down syndrome, is out to dinner with a boy that claims he's wanted to go out with her for a while. Were I Trig's parent, I'd be thinking, that looks like a pretty good outcome.

Now, if they had complained about the character's whining and complaining (the real 'joke' of this bit), they might have a point. Of course, she isn't doing that because 1) not having anything to do with Down syndrome, it wouldn't support high dudgeon, and 2) most everyone would think, "whiny bitch? the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

The willingness of these people to fabricate controversy is yet another reason to hold them in contempt. The fact that a lot of people seem to join in, is a reason to support representative government. Idiots all. # Comments (View)

I sort of appreciate Cox for establishing a cost. Even if they can shirk on getting a court order, the police have to get a purchase order. Checks and Balances in the Brave New World.

On the other hand, this establishes a profit motive. Once the government establishes the "secure" l-commerce site (law-commerce) that allows them to shop for your mail and files online, you know that Cox and the rest will be adding services left and right as they realize that there is money in violating your privacy helping to fight terrorism.

Woe is me!
