Patrick's 2010 NCAA Bracket Power Picks

I just got a text from a friend of mine. I have the same final 4 as Barack Obama. Darn.

Here are my brackets.

Pop Culture tidbit: I'm listening to Breitbart who is filling in for Michael Savage. Patrick Denizio from The Smithereens is a conservative.

5 Year Old Sarah Palin Destroys Her Political Career

a satire

She wants to be president of the United States. She wants the American people to entrust her with a leadership position that requires good judgment and decision making skills. But she didn't have the political foresight to stop her parents from taking her siblings to Yukon in Canada for health care treatment in the 1960's. Sarah Palin was already 5 at the time, and despite missing a foreign policy question on a nursery school test, many still thought she had potential.

With socialized medicine looming on the horizon in Canada, Palin should have known that at some point down the road, the press would hammer her for not stepping in and making her parents wait for the ferry or plane.

enb on Team Sarah wrote:

"There was no road out of there at that time," said retired teacher Chuck Heath, reached by phone in Wasilla. "The ferry schedule was very erratic. We had no doctor in Skagway. The plane schedule was very erratic. The winds dictated whether the planes could come in or not."

Palin's father said his family probably boarded the train for the Whitehorse hospital only twice - once when a daughter had rheumatic fever, and once when his son, also named Chuck, severely burned his leg and an infection set in.

But Sarah never spoke up and stopped her parents from taking them to Whitehorse Hospital in Canada.

Hari Sevugan of The DNC tweeted "So, Palin had the benefit of nat'l HC in Canada..." Palin's people took him to task. But their response was seen as empty spin. "They're saying socialized medicine didn't kick in until 1972, but Sarah Palin should have seen it coming and realized this would not bode well for her 2012 presidential run anyway," an unnamed Democrat source said.

The unnamed Democrat also went on to say, "it was a nice try for Chuck Heath to say he paid for the treatments, but we all know he did it just to provide political cover for his daughter."

In a rush interview on the Sean Hannity show, when asked why she didn't object to her parents, Palin told Hannity "I didn't write 'beware of socialized medicine' on my hand the day my brother burnt his ankle." She also pointed out that "Meghan Stapleton was not my spokesperson at the time, either, so there were some organizational problems at that point of my political career."

Pundits now believe that any chance for a presidential run is over now that the media has broken "Canada-gate" wide open. This follows her "Van Palin" trashing of a boutique in Hollywood the day she appeared on the Jay Leno show.

"George Washington overcame the cherry tree incident," said an elitist Republican insider, "but I can't see Palin overcoming this." He pointed out that "it was not like Washington chopped down two cherry trees on two different ocassions."

That's my report tonight.

Van Palin Trashes Silver Spoon Oscar Suite

They were raucous and wild. The entourage, rednecks in Carhartts with grease still under their fingernails and the girls a wreck, their hair so mussed that it required a full washing and blowout. The leader of the group, Sarah Van Palin started gobbling up goodies everywhere she went, taking watches, Ipods, headsets, jewelry. It was reminiscent of the wild Straight Talk Express Tour of 2008 where Van Palin greeted roadies at the door in nothing but a towel and demanded clothes, clothes and more clothes.

Van Palin, known for her wild Diet Dr. Pepper and Red Bull binges, just couldn't be stopped. The place was picked dry like a carcass on the side of a buzzard filled road. Rock legend tells of a wild woman who once bit the head off of a Senator and who often would go off the set list and start chastizing a presidential candidate about palling around with terrorists and whipping her crowds into a frenzy where her adoring fans would chant "Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!" until finally security would have to pull her from the crowd who clamoured for her autograph.

After losing the biggest contest in her life, an event that works similar to American Idol (a bunch of ignorant people vote for the wrong person), she was distraught. She left the stage with a tear in her eye and went home to Alaska where she slaughtered a bunch of turkeys on live TV and shot a bunch of wolves. At one event, in a coffee laced stupor, she said "I ain't gonna sit down and shut up. If I die, I die," telling the media in essence to eff off.

Van Palin also got involved with a motorcycle gang

Van Palin Boozing it Up Poolside in Miami

She was so out of hand at this point that she had to quit her job and go into "rehab" where her assignment was to reflect on her life and write about it. But things only got worse when she got out, starting with a wild tour to promote "Going Rogue" and culminating in the Silver Spoon swag spree. That same night, she performed on the Tonight Show where she tried to take over the show. She demanded Jay Leno's desk! Van Palin was no stranger to The Tonight Show. A couple of months before, when Conan O'brien was host, Van Palin stormed in on a surprised William Shatner who was mocking her on stage and did her own version of Shatner, mocking him back.

But, the show must go on. Van Palin did a gig with Rick Perry. She is scheduled to tour with Michele Bachmann Turner Overdrive and do a reunion gig with John McCain.

Ted Nugent, the Motor City Madman himself, is a big fan of Van Palin. She also hangs with Gretchen Wilson. In Richmond, VA, Hank Williams, Jr. warmed up for Palin and performed "McCain, Palin Tradition." I was there and it was rowdy.

Rumors of Van Palin doing a show similar to "The Osbournes" turned out to be untrue.

Not since the days of Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin have we seen this kind of behavior.

-bloggers note: this is all written with nothing but the greatest of affection for Governor Palin. The sarcasm is strictly directed at the media who, regardless of their works of fiction and made up stories still couldn't write something as good as this!

Why Jay Leno Smokes David Letterman

Jay Leno is a funny guy. He has a nice family. He doesn't ram his politics down his viewers' throats. He's creative. And he makes his guests look good. David Letterman is not funny. The only thing I know about his family is he has a girlfriend, a baby and a bunch of mistresses that he "Tiger Woodsed" in the Ed Sullivan (er did they rename it the Bernie Kerick room yet?) room. He is rabidly liberal in his politics and he lets his viewers know it. He's not that creative (a top ten list, stupid pet tricks, that's about it). He makes his guests look bad.

Whether he is gawking down some actress's shirt, getting them to talk about how promiscuous they are or whether he is baiting the hook for Mitt Romney with a Sarah Palin question, David Letterman has an agenda and it's not comedy. He wasn't funny before Sarah Palin and he sure as hell ain't funny now.

David Letterman did Mitt Romney a disservice. He had the former Massachusetts governor drone on and on about policy, while at the same time over at NBC, Sarah Palin was bringing the house down with hand jokes. When Leno went to commercial, Romney was talking about politics. When Palin finished her monologue and you switched back over to Letterman during the next commercial, Romney was still talking about politics.

This is not a knock on Romney. It's not the guest's fault; it's the host's fault. Romney was great yesterday. He was on Sean Hannity's radio and television show where he cracked it deep over the center field fence talking about American exceptionalism. Romney was pretty much right about all the political stuff he was saying, so nothing wrong there.

But, sadly for you, David Letterman, the best part about knowing you will never have Sarah Palin on your show ever is that the best moment of a 20 minute interview with Mitt Romney is the part where you talk about Sarah Palin.

It's the only time Letterman made Romney look good. And at the same time, it made Letterman look bad.

Romney warned Letterman not to mess with Sarah Palin. "You know she has a rifle," the Mittster said.

What was the highlight of Leno? Sarah Palin. What was the highlight of Letterman? Sarah Palin.

Nice going, David. You get Sarah Palin's rival for 2012 to make Sarah Palin look good while he at the same time turns the rifle back on you! David Letterman wanted to pit Romney against Palin to stick it to Leno. But it backfired.

Someone needs to tell CBS that Conan's available. David Letterman sucks.
