It has morphed into a #ShakesPalin hash tag, where people are quoting Shakespeare with a Palin spin, as well as a satirical @ShakesPalin account sharing the efforts to make her look silly. I love it.

I think Sarah Palin represents a block of people in this country that know very little more than what the talking points of the day are. In that way, skewering her is like skewering the people that are emphatically wrong most of the time.

@MJ, that was a great comment.

I’m not sure what amazes me more, that people actually read Sarah Palin’s tweets in the first place, or that people actually analyze them. They must have the same analysis each time: What are we reading and what is she thinking?

Edgar Allan Poe liked to make up words, and, like Shakespeare, was brilliant. I don’t think I would have wanted him to be President, either.

lg, those nether-regions would be the cold jumbly-bits, wouldn’t they?

Good times, indeed.

So my question stands. Seriously, where has Christianity decided that it is inappropriate to place a church? (the answer is nowhere)

But Allah forbid that a Muslim, a Sikh, a Mormon, a Jew, a Hare Krishna or a Buddhist ask for the same rights.

And when the hell did Alaska qualify as “The Heartland”? It is more like the nether-regions.

“Mis – Do you think that Christian groups are going to decide that this sort of violence means that they should just bail?”

Absolutely not. History has proved that for centuries. That, and I dated a couple of *Jesus Freaks* back in the 70’s (sisters!), both of whom went to extreme measures to get me “saved”. Talk about embarking on a lost cause, against impossible odds.

Good times, though.

Mis – Do you think that Christian groups are going to decide that this sort of violence means that they should just bail? I have spent enough time with evangelicals to know that they see incidents like this as an indication that there are a number of people that need to be saved.

“It’s comforting to know there is someone out there’s WHO’s willing to dedicate the time and effort to pointing out that the people who post at Delaware Liberal are, y’know, liberal. I feel informed and safer now.”

Thanks for correcting my grammar, Geezer. I feel informed. I really thought the fact that there are Liberals here is obvious, so there was no need to point that out. It just amuses me that the attention paid to Palin seems a bit obsessive.

“Are there any places in the world that a Christian church should be forbidden?”

Perhaps here, Geek:

She was using the Dan Quayle/George W thesaurus.

This is way too much fun, and not entirely off topic: The Shakespearean Insulter

Turn on your heart stab! Let it whine wherever you go, let it make a pissy moan for all the world to hear!!

Yeah, you guys are probably right — logic has no place in their thinking. I’m actually mind-boggled that the anti-mosque argument boils down to, “It hurts our feelings!” This from the supposed tough-guy faction of the GOP.

In the months after 9/11 I recall somebody floating the idea of rebuilding the towers with a mosque at the top. I’m not sure that would really be a deterrent though. The terrorists would just consider them a different kind of infidel.

Not really. Remember, Dr. Tiller was killed by a Christian in a church. The fanatics only consider it collateral damage.
