Sarah Palin Watch: "Wearing White Is Code To Incite The KKK!"

From those fashionistas at Democratic Underground, we learn that wearing white is code for the KKK (hat tip to Michelle Malkin).

First, let's take a look at the outfits in question:

Now, I've been wondering ... how do you keep your clothes clean and in shape when you're campaigning?  You never get to go back home to do your laundry; you never really have time to stop and shop.  All men really need is a one-hour dry cleaners' stop every now and then, to clean the suits and do their shirts and socks and boxers.  But women's clothes come in a greater variety of fabrics, and you can't wash bras and panties, or clean silk and satin, just any old way.

So I've noted Governor Palin's tendency to pair colorful, easy-to-pack tops with black pencil skirts and black slim-cut trousers.  I did note that she wore white two days in a row ... <begin sarcasm> but I never realized white was a KKK signal!  <end sarcasm>

This is such utter bullshit, I need waders and an oxygen mask to cope. 

Wear white every day until the election to confound the KKK!  Fight the smears and the barking moonbattery!

Sarah Palin Watch: "Her Lip Liner Is Tattooed On!"

Okay, this one comes from the U.K., and is ever so silly ...!

The Daily Mail Online headlines: "Lippygate: US election furore as Palin critics say she has tattooed lip-liner." 

Here's the story, so you don't have to go there:

She is the self-styled ‘Pitbull in Lipstick’ – but vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin has become the subject of a fierce debate about
whether her lip-liner is really a tattoo.

The discussion was
started by Left-wing pundit Arianna Huffington, who claimed in a blog
that the 44-year-old governor of Alaska had had her lip-liner
permanently tattooed on.

The claim has prompted huge speculation on the internet and within the mainstream media about Palin’s beauty habits.

Tight-lipped: Sarah Palin's camp won't discuss claims that her lip-liner is permanent

One detractor said: ‘She’s so vain and this is just another example of that.’

A
pro-Palin supporter shot back: ‘She’s a busy working mother and her
make-up always looks impeccable. People love to attack her.’

In Palin’s hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, population 8,700,
Jessica Steele, owner of the town’s Beehive Beauty Shop, said she had
not noticed if Palin had tattooed lip-liner but added: ‘She was very
concerned about her sexy image.

'We talked a lot about how, if she looked too pretty or too sexy, people wouldn’t listen to her.’

Dr Laura Reed, who runs Artistic Cosmetic Solutions in Garden Grove, California, said: ‘I think she may well have had it done.’

And Lisa Sims, a make-up tattoo artist from Anchorage, Alaska, said: ‘I believe it is tattooed on. One hundred per cent.’

Permanent lip-liner saves wearers the time and trouble of having to constantly apply lipstick and liner.

Last night a Palin spokesman said: ‘We’re not going to comment.’

Palin became embroiled in another furore last night after she was found guilty of abuse of power.

An
inquiry into a long-running scandal – dubbed Troopergate – in Alaska
found that she had acted improperly by trying to get her former
brother-in-law fired from his job as a state trooper while he was in
the middle of a bitter divorce from her sister in 2006.

A Democratic Party spokesman said: ‘Governor Palin has violated the trust of people in Alaska.’

I Have A Problem ...

But not for long!  NaNo's coming!

NaNoWriMo is the National Novel Writing Month, where participants finish a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. I've been participating since 2003, and though I only finished 50,000 works once, in 2005, NaNo has compelled me to tighten up my writing, has shown me the way to connect two previously disparate writing efforts into a single overarching universe.

This year, i'm determined to finish. Cranking out 1667 words a day should get me out of my writing funk, and if I keep it up, I can have a novel and a set of erotic short stories by February.

Join the NaNo folk! Even if you don't write 50K words, you'll have x more words written than you do now!
