PALINTOLOGY...The Study of Sarah

 Here are a few thoughts about Sarah Palin.  I know there are a lot of folks out there that think she ought to be President.  That’s fine, what a boring world it would be if we all thought the same way.  I don’t think so and here are some of the reasons I think she would be a terrible President.
 
Let’s look at her governing record.  She was mayor of a small town and then Governor of Alaska, for half a term.  SHE QUIT…..
Now let’s take a look at Alaska, the largest state in the union.  Did you know it has the smallest population?  Rhode Island which is the smallest state has about 350,000 thousand more people than Alaska does.  There are over 60 cities in the US that have bigger populations than Alaska.  Sorry but there are many mayors in the country that work with much larger budgets and have far more governing experience than Sarah.  The bottom line is they completed their terms.  SHE QUIT…..

She has the propensity to stick her foot in her mouth more often than Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden and that’s saying something.  I was going to say she lies a lot but she’s a politician and they all lie a lot, so that’s moot.  She is great at throwing out little sound bites and talking points that some hack has thought up in a lobbyist’s back room to keep from talking about real issues but I have never heard her say anything that sounded like an original idea.  If you ask a Republican how to cure cancer, they will tell “Cut taxes.”  It’s their only answer.

 I don’t think she has any vision, plan or goal for America.  She just wants to be President. Now I’m just guessing here but I think being President of the United States is a much bigger job than being Governor of Alaska and if she can’t cut the mustard in that gig….SHE QUIT… why would I believe she can make it four years as President?  

The main thing I want in the President of the United States is that they be smarter than I am.  Sorry but I’m light years ahead of this woman and I’m not even the smartest person in my own family. This is the problem I had with “W”.

I could care less if Sarah makes a gazillion dollars selling books, making speeches to who ever is willing to pay her or doing TV shows.  She can run her mouth as long as she wants.  I just don’t want her running the country.

Thanks for taking a little bit of your valuable time
to stop and read Sleeps Til Noon and this dumb little rhyme.


AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

At the Grammy’s last night, the big winners were Lady Antebellum and Lady GaGa.   Somehow they completely over looked Lady Bird, Lady Marmalade, Lady Di, Lady and The Tramp, Lady Luck, Lady Chatterley, Lady Godiva, Lady Jane, Lady In The Water,  Our Fair Lady.and the Little Old Lady From Pasadena.

Egyptian President Mubarak has finally resigned.  The only troubling part is that he has named Conan O’Brien has his successor.  Haven’t we seen this before?

I see where Ron Paul just won the CPAC straw poll for President. This is a group of conservative Republicans who get together every year to try to decide who to back for President.  The only other one in contention was Mr. Ed, the talking horse. It seems they were so accustomed to being in a room full of horse’s asses that they didn’t notice Mr. Ed was a real horse.

Speaking of Ron Paul. He is the new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee's subcommittee on monetary policy.  Ron wants to go back to the Gold Standard.  The problem with that is there isn’t enough gold on the planet to back up the paper we have printed.  Yeah, good luck with that Paul.  Next I think he wants to go back to black and white TV, he says color cost too much.   I wonder why Ron never talks about his half brother/sister RuPaul?  What’s up with that?

The rumors are flying that Bret Farve will be on “Dancing With The Stars” next season.  The hang up seems to be that Bret doesn’t want a partner but would prefer using just a pole.

Republican Congressman “Shirtless Christopher Lee” joins “Shoeless Joe Jackson”, “Brainless George W. Bush”, “Heartless Dick Chaney”, “Clueless Nancy Pelosi” and “Sleepless in Seattle” in the history books.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around ole “Shirtless Chris."  This guy is worth 20 to 30 million dollars and he has to go on Craig’s list to find a date?  I'm not sure who is more clueless, Chris or the kid who was just arrested in Florida that went on Face Book to find a hit man to kill his girlfriend.  Don’t they know how the internet works?

NBC's America's Got Talent was in town holding auditions for its hit show this weekend and  I missed it.  They had the auditions in the mornings.  Damn…. I do believe America’s Got Talent, unfortunately none of it is on that show.

Here is a tweet from Lindsay Lohan about the dress she wore to court. “What I wear to court shouldn’t be front page news. It’s just absurd.”   No, what is absurd is what you wore to court….

Today's good read is Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny.  Excellent writing and a good story.  If you like murder mysteries, you will very much enjoy this.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

It’s the first year anniversary of my blog  and it certainly has been fun…for me for sure and I hope it has been for you too.  That is the whole point of this exercise after all…. To have fun.

Sleeps Til Noon has picked up quite a few new readers in last few months so I thought I would do an update and maybe re-visit why I began this adventure in the first place.  I am happy to report that Sleeps Til Noon now has readers in 34 countries around the world.  A number of these are in the Middle East which is a big surprise to me.  I’m not sure if I had anything to do with the protest in Egypt or not but I did report that former Vice-President Darth Cheney and President Mubarak use to go water boarding together. You just never know what can set off a spark anymore.

My main purpose is to try to make you smile, laugh or chuckle about things going on in this world today by poking fun at and ridiculing folks to need to be ridiculed.  A lot of this is pointed at politicians for two reasons.  First of all they are easy and I’m lazy and secondly because I don’t the think the forefathers of this country ever intended for politics to be an occupation.  My interpretation is that they wanted people to devote some of their time to public service and then go back to doing what ever it was that they did to make a living.  It was never meant to be a career.  When a person has been in Congress for twenty years, I don’t think it is experience, I think its baggage.

Celebrities also are fair game because they are celebrities.  The ones I really like to pick on are celebrities who have never done anything to become a celebrity other than being born rich or doing something dumb.

I am also a big reader.  I love books and read constantly, so I like to pass along recommendations when I come across a really good read.  This past year I burned through 145 books, mostly fiction but a number of non-fictions.  I don’t give reviews; I just recommend it if I think it is a really good read. 

I do hope you continue to read and enjoy Sleeps Til Noon. If you get a laugh out of it, please share it with your friends and if you don’t care for it, pass it along to people you don’t like.

News From Around The World And Up Your Block

I saw where former Vice-President Darth Cheney said that Egyptian President Mubarak is a good friend.  Why does that not surprise me?  I think they use to go water boarding together.

Workers in Egypt have gone on strike.  They say they won’t build another pyramid until Mubarak leaves.

Donald Rumsfeld’s new memoir is eight hundred pages long.  What a blowhard!  He could have done it in three words,“I fucked up.”

I remember in November of last year when Governor Rick (How do you like my hair-do?) Perry, serial politician, was telling us how great the state of Texas was doing under his dynamic leadership and now we hear the state has a 15 to 20 billion dollar deficit.  Damn, the month of December must have been a bitch. 

Bristol Palin is writing a memoir.  Am I missing something here?  She’s twenty years old. I figure it should be about two pages long: "I had a baby and then went dancing."  The End... Bristol says she was inspired by her favorite author Snooki.

Prosecutors have decided to file charges against Lindsay Lohan for stealing a $2500 dollar necklace.  Looks like Lindsay’s criminal career is progressing nicely from drug abuse to theft.  She is moving from rehab to re-jail.

A survey shows that the day after the Super Bowl more people called in sick than any other day of the year. It seems the Steelers jumped the gun and called in a day early

I am sick and tired of Mother Nature dragging her cold front through town.  I didn’t sign up for cold weather when I moved to Houston.  I sorta get it now why Sarah Palin says so many stupid things.  I think her brain is frozen.

The Cancer On Politics

I was talking to one of my Republican friends the other day. Yes I have a number of friends who are Republicans, we don’t agree much on politics but we are friends. I remember before Karl Rove and Lee Atwater came on the scene that most people could be on different sides of the aisle and still be friends.

Then Karl and his mentor Lee came along and made emotional wedge issues and other hot buttons that have no place in politics the main talking points. They concentrated on divisive points, not things that unite us but stuff that divide us. These are things that have nothing to do with running the country.

If you don’t believe in abortion, then I strongly urge you to never have one. If you don’t believe in gay marriage, then for God’s sake, don’t marry a gay person. But it’s none of your business if other people want to do both of these things.

Lee Atwater was a very mean, despicable person. In a campaign in South Carolina, he made fun of a 16 year old suicidal kid who had gone through electroshock therapy. He also created the Willie Horton ad for Daddy Bush. Lee ended up with brain cancer and lived the rest of his life in a wheelchair. It seems Lee discovered Jesus after he got sick and apologized for the way he had treated people. Sorry a little too late for me. Fuck him.

Karl Rove is made of the same cloth. Everything is about getting elected, nothing is about governing or actually running the country. Mostly it’s about getting elected so they can run up their bank account. After getting elected, politicians have one priority, getting re-elected. Everything else is secondary.

If we are ever going to get politics back to where we can discuss the real issues, issues that have to do with the betterment of our country, we have to weed these assholes out of it. As long as we have political consultants like this, political pundits with their agenda and the corporate world being involved in political decisions, we will end up with a sorry crop of politicians like we have today. I feel the same way about Karl as I do Lee. Fuck him too.


I was talking with another Republican person, not my friend, who was railing about those horrible immigrants coming over here and taking everything, our jobs, speaking a language we don’t understand and even killing people. I said, “I guess you know how the Indians felt.” By the way, fuck him too.


Today's good read is The Ice Princess by  Camilla Lackberg.  A excellent murder mystery and very well written.

What Have We Learned This Week?

They are developing a car that won’t start if you have had too much to drink. If you have had too much to eat, the seat belts won’t fit. Ah the wonderful world of technology.

Looks like Charley Sheen’s home rehab is going great, He intends to go back to work at the end of Feburary. He evidently is using the Evelyn Wood Speed Rehab course.

Poor ole Jerry Jones, he was so excited to have the Super Bowl in Dallas this year. First the Cowboys wouldn’t cooperate and now Mother Nature seems to be pissed off at him.

Hey I have a great idea for a TV show. You go film a bunch of extremely untalented kids who don’t have a clue and show it on National TV so the whole country can make fun of them….Oh wait….That’s American Idol.

Do you think maybe the kids doing the hand jive in the McDonald’s commercial for their Carmel Mocca’s have had a little too much caffeine?

Egyptian President Mubarak has developed Bret Farve disease. He doesn’t know when to leave.

Sarah Palin said Friday that America is dangerously out of step with the values of former President Ronald Reagan...Really...The public debt tripled and the Government grew twice as big on Reagan’s watch. It seems to me we are right in step with him.

Mike Sorrentino, he’s known as The Situation on Jesery Shores, the MTV reality tv show, says he going to leave to be a movie star. Yeah right, next thing you know Snooki will write a book.

Sleeping Pills Are A Real Eye Opener

I know some of you out there won’t believe this because you know that I do like to sleep late in the mornings, but sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep at night. So I checked into a couple of sleeping aides, Cymbalta and Lunesta.

Here are a few of the side affects that are possible when taking these drugs. Prolonged drowsiness the next day, confusion, forgetfulness and dry mouth, an unsafe drop in blood pressure, itching of the skin, increased white blood cells, leg cramps, sore joints, rashes, welts, blisters, nausea, sweating and shaking, stuttering, hallucinations, addiction, bleeding gums, migraines, shortness of breath and hic-ups.

There is also gout, acne, baldness, amnesia, rickets, hoof and mouth disease, loss of hearing, fever, chills, ulcers, cavities, muscle spasms, blindness, ear infections, heart murmurs, psoriasis, stomach cramps, gas, halitosis, under arm chaffing, bunions, diarrhea, warts, jock itch, in-grown toe nails, corns, yeast infections, malaria, fever blisters, uncontrollable drooling and hemorrhoids.

Did I mention vomiting, poor coordination, clap, jaundice, extreme fatigue, sore throat, nasal congestion, dandruff, weight loss, anemia, skin lesions, constipation, athletes’ foot, erectile dysfunction and a swelling of the spleen and liver?

I think I will just stick to counting sheep.

And now for something completely different.


This just in from Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see the point of repealing the health care law, so therefore there will be six weeks of crying by John Boehner.

To show my support for the Green Bay Packers, I’m going to watch the Super Bowl at Chucky E Cheese.

The biggest loser on The Biggest Loser is the viewer.

A new study reports that apparently, money can purchase a whole lot of happiness. Now there is a news flash for you. I don’t how much they spent on this report but I could have told them that for free.

I understand CBS might be changing the name to: Two and Half Men, Five Hookers, and a Kilo.
