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:
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."

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

Van Palin Trashes Silver Spoon Oscar Suite
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
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.

The Makings of A Hitler's Rant: Romney Endorses McCain
It has the makings of a "Hitler's Rant." I could see it now on youtube. Hitler points to the map and says "now that Sarah Palin supporters are leaving in droves, we can set up campaign headquarters for Romney here (pointing to a map), here and here. They'll definitely vote for him now."
Then comes the scene where the sweating advisers look at each other. One says, "my fuhrer..." and the other says, "Governor Romney endorsed McCain today." Those of you who know the series can guess the rest. "Those of you who voted for McCain just because Sarah was on the ticket, leave the room." The tirade and the cursing follows. The crying girl outside hears Hitler yell "Just when that Massachussetts RINO had me convinced he was a conservative he goes and does this?!" The woman comforting the girl outside the door says "it's okay, Romney's still against Cap and Trade."
And at the end Hitler hangs his head with melancholy and mutters "I really don't know if we have any other choice now; we're stuck with Ron Paul."

Kurt Busch Going For First Daytona 500 Win
I'm now officially an old timer. Rusty Wallace was my driver. And although I am not as loyal to Kurt Busch as I was to "the man," I am still a team player who roots on Team Penske and the 2 car. I will always have a place in my heart for the coolest looking car on the track.
"Miller Lite Dodge driver Kurt Busch is a strong believer that his longevity and experience will increase the odds in his favor for a breakthrough win in Sunday’s 52nd annual Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway," the Busch team said in a press release issued Tuesday.
Let me steal a quote from the 2 car's former driver: "JUST WIN, BABY!" Rusty Wallace actually said this about his Nationwide Series team, but it sums up what the Penske team has to do this year as well.
It's not fun taking ribbing from Jeff Gordon fans. Team Penske has been beefing up their racing program this year, so look for the number 2 to come before the number 24 not only in the math books, but also on the track. And look for a great season from a former NASCAR champion this year. The time has come to get back on top. Win, baby, win!

RED NECK NIRVANA!
My interests in NASCAR and my interests in politics will meet this Sunday in Daytona. The ideologically hot Sarah Palin will be at the race. "Rogue-ity, rogue-ity, rogue-ity! Let's go racing, boys!" Ronald Reagan has also been an attendee at the NASCAR classic.
As is always the case with Sarah Palin, bashers go into convulsions, drool all over themselves, need to have nurses clean up their soiled drawers and have to have emergency laptops brought into the operating room so that they can read The Huffington Post. It's the only thing doctors say can save a PDS victim before they flat line.
But the truth of the matter is Sarah Palin bashers are not just about bashing Sarah Palin. They bash her because she represents a significant portion of the population that they don't like. Elitists don't like hard working, rough and tumble middle Americans who go to both church and the track. These all American values represent an existential threat to liberalism, an ideology that believes we should all live in East Berlin style housing, keep our poor people poor so that they are reliant on the government for their subsidies and that God is some outdated concept.
The idea of a gun toting Dale Earnhardt fan who still drives a truck with the number 3 sticker on the back setting up a good old tailgate complete with braats, chicken and cold beer simply scares the shit out of some weaselly faced environmental whacko sitting in their upper west side loft spewing off blogs about how great President Obama is. I kind of wish Keith Olbermann would go to a race so that the rednecks can flip the porta-potty over when he goes to the bathroom. But I digress.
The fact of the matter is, if you check out this website, bashers will not only bash Sarah Palin, they will bash race fans for being white trash, rednecks. Although I originally lived in New York, and am not a redneck by birth, I find I have more in common with the good ole boys here in Richmond than I do with the snobby elites up in New York. I left New York because I hated all the stupid liberals up there. The taxes were ridiculous and the cost of living high.
So I lift a high hearty middle finger to the hop head who wrote the blog about "Redneck Nirvana," and revel in the fact that instead of living in a basement apartment on Long Island and paying rent to a granola eating Rachel Maddow fan, I own my own house in a state that is governed by the great Bob McDonnell. I'll take that kind of conservatism over liberalism anyway.
And it's true. I actually do live next door to a guy named Bubba. And, the people across the street from me are diehard Sarah Palin supporters. The Bob McDonnell for Governor lawn sign I gave them is still up and my friend Billy's dad still has a "I voted for the chick" bumper sticker on his truck. Yeee haaaaa, liberals.
I live ten minutes from Richmond International Raceway. I actually got into NASCAR 10 years ago when a friend of mine who lived down here before I did handed me a beer at 11 am one Sunday in 1999 and said "we're watching NASCAR" today.
So even though Sarah Palin will have no official duties at the race, expect to see her on camera and possibly hear from her as well. There should also be some good media coverage as well. While Weed for Speed might think he is dissing us, I would be proud to call it Redneck Nirvana!
And if the media wants to bash Sarah Palin, to quote John McCain "we don't care."
