Surprise, Palin is NOT funny!

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Guess i shouldn’t be suprised by this, but here’s an interesting article about Sarah Palin’s appearence as a commedian with Jay Leno:

Palin parody writer: NBC added laughs to Leno visit

A Maryland man who wrote a parody of Sarah Palin’s autobiography and who says he and his wife flew to Los Angeles to attend the taping of Palin’s appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” claims NBC sweetened the audience’s laughter during her appearance to drown out the deafening silence, which he says was on occasion only broken by his own derisive guffawing.

Responding to Micheal Stinson’s claims on the political Web site Daily Kos, NBC said Friday that “neither the audio nor the laughs were enhanced for Sarah Palin’s segments on ‘The Tonight Show’ ” this past Tuesday.

And other people we contacted who work in the industry said even if “Tonight” show did sweeten the laughter, or used “patches” of laughter from that audience to cover dead air or to smooth over edits in the show, it’s not an unusual practice. Some shows do it, some don’t, they said, explaining that the techniques used can be as simple as being sure to seat big laughers near microphones, to compensate for the non-laughers in the hall.

Socialism Alert: Illegal aliens are bad!

Monday, September 21st, 2009

During the campaign for the 2008 election I signed up for Ron Paul’s emails because I love Ron Paul and what he stands for.  What I didn’t realize is that I would also be signed up for AmeriPac email annoucements.  Oddly enough, I rather enjoy them.  Not in the way I enjoy reading the “New York Times”, but in the way I enjoy reading “The Star” while in line at the grocery store.  It truly is right wing political tabloidism. 

Most are emails entitled “SOCIALISM ALERT:” followed by some  sort of ridiculous claim about Obama.  The latest one was no different, well at first glance.   Upon reading further I realized that this whole email had no point other than illegal aliens (namely those of the Mexican variety) will get free health care.  Oh yeah, and they are inherantly evil. 

Here are some excerpts to show you what I mean:

An angry Obama lied to the nation about extending his NO Enforcement - Open Border Amnesty Policy to ObamaCare.

He said his plan  would not apply to illegals and Congressman Joe Wilson called him on his lie. Just cross the border and enter a government clinic and you can get free health care paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Don’t worry your illegal status will not be questioned ObamaCare has no mandatory proof of U.S. citizenship. What a country! Obama is already letting 3.6 million illegal aliens in the country every year and he plans to make us pay for their health care.

50 Illegal aliens WILL JUMP America’s borders while you read this and be
ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE

I wonder how many will jump while you read this blog post?  It’s a little bit shorter than the email so maybe only like 25? What if you have dislexia and read slower than the average red blooded, gun toting, Mexican hating right winger? 60? 100!!??

America, our country is faced with crisis.  If we don’t stop distracting oursleves by reading while illegal imigrants “JUMP” the border we will be overrun with dark skinned, hard working people who are willing to do the jobs that no one else wants to do, just so they can feed their family.  How un-American is that!  But if you share my veiw of  illegal imigrants from Mexico, AmericPac included the “REAL” facts about imigrants in America.

A List of 10 Facts Caused by the Illegal Invasion From the L. A. Times.
1.  40% of all workers in L. A. County are working for cash and not paying taxes. They are predominantly illegal aliens working without a green card and will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

2.  95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

3.  75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

4.  Over 66% of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

5.  Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican Nationals here illegally and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

6.  Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

7.  The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

8.  Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegals and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County) The fact that California is on the verge of bankruptcy is just a coincidence right? It has nothing to do with illegal aliens, right? 60% of Americans agree that illegal aliens are the cause of this and they do want them to be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

25 New illegal aliens JUST CROSSED our border while you are reading and will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE

OH SHIT! Stop reading, they’re invading!  And apparently they’ve stolen the  numbers 9 and 10!  AAAGGGHHHH!

Whew, now that we know how evil illegal imigrants are we can hate them without feeling bad.  Thanks AmeriPac! Ilook foreward to your next “SOCIALISM ALERT”
