| Overnight Open Thread - TGIF Edition (Mætenloch)Welcome to Friday all. Just a few more days until we enter the holiday zone. Oh and don't forget that tomorrow is International Talk Like a Hobo Day Why You Should Never Talk to the PoliceHere's a fascinating talk by a law professor and a police detective where they explain why you should never talk to the police. Even if you're innocent and/or completely uninvolved. And they make a very good case against it. Fair warning - it is a longish legal lecture but don't let that scare you - it really is interesting and worth your time. Now I had always heard this advice and understood the general reasoning behind it, but here the speakers actually give specific examples of how an innocent person could easily incriminate themselves by accident when questioned by a skilled detective. And yet if everyone followed their advice, many if not most crimes would go unsolved and we'd be a worse, more lawless society for it. So it's a trade off between the personal and common good. The best outcome is that you follow this advice and everyone else doesn't. And yeah that's kind of unsatisfying but at least now you're a more knowledgeable moron when it comes to this issue.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that there should be musical accompaniment for the flaming skull? My vote is for either the part of the 300 soundtrack where Leonidas is crowned king after killing the wolf near the beginning (which would go with today's flaming skull), or possibly "Yakkety Sax" (the Benny Hill music), which makes anything hilarious.
The only problem is, I usually see the skull before I read the headline, so I don't know which music works better for a given story. Posted by: Hoss Fuentes at November 20, 2009 10:20 PM (I9Jek) Posted by: CoolCzech at November 20, 2009 10:20 PM (QECjC) 22

So, those of you in Seattle, there is a coupon running in the Seattle Times (I don't buy it, someone gave it to me, I swear) that if you buy 5 bottles of 750ml booze from the company who imports Bacardi's you get $45 back.

"Question: where is the crew getting all its food?" Not watching this week's episode yet, but I thought they were stuck with whatever rations they brought with them--some PowerBars and some kinda gruel/oatmeal/vomit-looking substance. I imagine hunger would be down accordingly. Though maybe someone's laid claim to the Senator's body when they run out of food. Wonder how a vaccum works for preserving meat? I'm going back to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for the time being. I'll watch this later when my other means are available (not to mention being able to fast forward). I wonder how many times people will whine and cry this episode. Just for once I'd like to see someone to say "Man (or woman, to be PC) the fuck up and deal with it! You can cry once we've survived!"

"But the final episode of BSG sucked. How come final episodes just about always suck?" I think SciFi (or SyFy I guess now) has adopted the policy of "you'll take whatever crap we give you in the final episode, at least we didn't cancel the show with a cliffhanger!" Parts of the last episode of BSG were really bad though. Complete cop outs and nonsense on several plot points, almost like the writers didn't think ahead until the last two episodes only to think "Oh, Shit, I guess we better come up with some way to end everything!" Posted by: aggiebc at November 20, 2009 10:03 PM (xhPKT) 18
Sir Elliot, the time episode has been done by so many scifi (syfy?) shows, there's no reason to hash thru each iteration of the timeline. You just know they keep doing it until they finally get it right. I actually liked that about last weeks show.

I'm about to give up on this show... it doesn't make sense. I've tried to give it some time.. let it develop.. do it's thing until I understood.. but what just happened? Is everyone going to die off from that bug in Time or did they just fix it without a mention? Also, anyone in the military, was it like that? The guys I know that are former military are pretty square when under pressure. I can't imagine a special forces team in Afghanistan going nuts like this crew, much less the folks who would clear to be sent offworld. I can understand the civilians melting down a bit, but the military guys are just nuts. Posted by: Allen at November 20, 2009 10:07 PM (V94RM) 20

"Time" wasn't unresolved. The next loop through would have been a five minute episode where they wtched the tape and did what they were told. Or didn't and left another tape saying "No, really, listen this time."
I agree that the sex is overdone. It's not some payoff to the relationships the writers want to pretend it is, it's all throwaway. Except maybe the bit involving the Commander and his wife. Or it would have been if Talbot was actually having an affair with her. Even in the case of the lesbians, it served no purpose other than to say "Look, we have lesbians!" As for the facilities, the ship was designed for Ancients that were basically human, so basic sanitation needs are probably dealt with. But I'd rather see details like that established than all the pointless sex. It's not bad enough that I'm going to stop watching. Yet. But they really need to get *something* going. Like maybe the Ancient on board is a serial killer or something. Posted by: Methos at November 20, 2009 10:14 PM (CoDwG) 23
"Is everyone going to die off from that bug in Time or did they just fix it without a mention?"
It went unsaid in Time, but presumably they all injected themselves with venom from the chest-drilling creatures inhabiting the jungle/swamp planet they should have called Degobah. So they're all good now since they've come out of their comas. Or something. And they can freely drink water contaminated with parasites.

Seems to me that Lincoln is the key to all of this. Healthcare is very unpopular in AR and she's going to have a tough re-election bid anyway. I have a hard time seeing her get re-elected if she let's this bill go forward. My guess is that we'll see the debate, but surely she won't vote to end debate. If she does, Joe is our only hope. I hate to hang my hat on that, but I would say it would be a perfect way to pay back the Democrat party for they they have treated him.

She won't have to. I believe that should procedure go beyond this point, Reid can employ the "nuclear option." The really at-risk Dem seats will be able to avoid the cloture vote and the bill will pass with Reid giving them the OK to not toe the party line. This vote is essentially for the marbles as I've understood it. Any parliamentarians in the house? Posted by: AnonymousDrivel at November 20, 2009 09:06 PM (3nPNg) 15

The other early morning I told you that I'd seen some Senator on Greta. He said "If they vote for debate, it is a done deal". I'm paraphrasing but this guy was genuinely upset. He said to Greta's audience "you can't let it get to the floor, don't believe anything they say, I know, once it gets to the floor, it's over". Everyone ignored him and me when I posted it. The BO campaign has their operative (ordinary Americans who have fallen to the svengali effect) out ther sending cards and letters and coercing their friends to make sure this gets passed. The republicans and the conservatives have essentially been tuckered out by what went on in August, while they (our politicians) were having lovely beach vacations. BO and company knew this, they knew that the republicans and conservatives (the people with jobs, families and obligations) couldn't devote the amount of time the young unemployed ivy graduates can to "the cause"....they have won and I tried to tell you all and none of you would listen. When their PR guy can look this Lowery idiot right in the eye and say "it will pass, we will have a bill" on Hannity last night, you know, it is a done deal. And look it is starting to stink like three day old fish.

He can change the "character" of the bill and use th nuclear option. The Senator on Greats said this. If he makes it a spending bill, he can do it.
Posted by: curious at November 20, 2009 09:22 PM (p302b) 36
First of all, I don't know if Reid can invoke the nuclear option for this type of bill, my recollection from law school is that this is reserved for budget-type of legislation. If he does invoke it, we are talking WWIII type stuff. You can bet that at some point the Republicans will regain control of the Senate and with this precedent then they can proceed to use the nuclear option too. This is why a majority leader with half a brain can't use the nuclear option for legislation like this. Then again, we're talking about Harry Reid, so who the hell knows.
In fact, there is a part of me that would love to see the Dems go ahead and use the nuclear option, heads might literally roll. Surely Reid, Lincoln and several other senators will all loose there jobs over shenanigans like that. If they think the tea-baggers are rapid home grown terrorists now, wait until they try to pass legislation in this shifty way. Posted by: BTMintheSTL at November 20, 2009 09:23 PM (4X3d1) 37
curious: "Why is it different for the Senate?"

Posted by: steevy at November 20, 2009 09:39 PM (NP5DE) 27
A closer look suggests that the tracks and hull match that of the Austrian SK-105. The tracks could be an upgrade of some kind, but the hull front and upper section, just above the track, points to the SK-105. But the video is dark, so it's tough to be sure.

'Home-made' huh? Actually, it looks like he was using the design concept of the M1919 Browning MG. The shape of the receiver and the feed opening is unmistakable.
I suspect his 'feed' problems come from insufficient mechanical force [and contact] on the feed pawl. A shotgun shell isn't that much heavier than a 30-6 cartridge, but it is 'bulkier'. Just a slight tweak should do it. The only other problem is the 'linked belt': it's obviously 'custom' since getting disintegrating links to fit a 12 Ga. shell might be a bit much to ask for.

What happens is that the quarterback turns back and to the right, as if he's pitching or rolling out in that direction. But he then tosses the ball over his head, backwards and to the left.I wonder if this can be duplicated or if it's a one-off. The idea seems sound -- the defense moves in the direction the play seems to be going. If you throw the ball backwards over your head (without looking -- a timing play) they're not really going to be ready to make that interception. I'd like to see the NY Giants try this. We can't score in the red zone, and Eli Manning tends to throw interceptions when he's aiming and looking at his receiver, so... Thanks to Larissa. Comments1

Section 2006 of ObamaCare says that all states that have had a disaster area in the last seven years get a share of this money, and then... eliminates each of those states except Louisiana. So it's a straight-up vote buy, disguised, barely, as something else. Krauthammer suggested (on Brett Baier) that Lincoln should ask for at least $250 million, as she's in deeper trouble. How about a different job?While she might ask for a similar home-state largesse as Landrieu, that might not suffice for someone as vulnerable as Lincoln. She more likely needs an escape hatch. I polled some veterans of the Bush administration and the Senate who agreed with my hunch that the best way to help Lincoln is for President Obama to make her secretary of agriculture.Call: Mary Landrieu of Louisiana 202-224-5824 Ben Nelsonof Nebraska 202-224-6551 Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas 202-224-4843 Evan Bayh of Indiana 202-224-5623 Ben Nelson has already promised a "yes" vote but it can't hurt -- at least get him to follow through on his threat to sustain a filibuster if the abortion funding is left in the bill.

I don't know how many morons are aware of this, but Louisiana's problem before and above anything else, is coastal erosion. Erosion in about a third to a half of North America becomes sediment in the Mississippi river. The river 'floods' every year depositing said sediment on the Gulf Coast. At least it did until about a decade ago when they leveed up the river because annual flooding was a pain in the butt, unhealthy, and dangerous. Unfortunately, erosion due to rain now only takes away from their land washing it out to sea. On average they lose a football field worth of land roughly every half hour. Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike all made matters far worse.
Currently all that sediment collects near the port of New Orleans and we (the US) dredges it to keep the rifer open for shipping, but those doing the job are federally mandated to dispose of it in the cheapest manner available, which is currently shipping it five miles to the coastal shelf and dumping it. Louisiana's plan to save its coastline is to pump that material along its coast, distributing it as the river used to. But that coast is going to run to the tens of billions of dollars, if not more. That's what people in Louisiana care about. $100 million for health care doesn't mean shit when your state is washing out to sea as we speak.

Earlier today I sent this email to my Senators:
Sen. Bingaman, Udall, I would encourage you to hold out your vote on the pending health care legislation until you get a sweetheart deal for the state of NM like Sen. Landrieu did for Louisiana. If you are going to vote for this bill that will accelerate the insolvency of the US government, we should at least get some money before we go belly up. Seriously, we are facing an unfunded mandate of close to $60 trillion for Medicare, Medicaid and SS. I don't know how you can even consider this legislation (even with its spurious $500 billion of "savings" through gutting Medicare) with this pending catastrophe looming. I guess you'll be retired by the point the system falls apart so you don't worry about it. Enjoy your cushy Congressional pension while the rest of us slave away to pay back the money we owe to the Chinese and Japanese. Posted by: rockhead at November 20, 2009 08:03 PM (RykTt) 38

I have not downloaded them and cannot vouch for them. I got the links from this article though and were I not on my work comp I would download them.Zapped. No reason given. The key to the scientific method is suppression of contrary data. Everyone knows that. Duh. It seems the very scientific jazz musician is somewhat less open to questioning global warming alarmism than lefty German paper Der Spiegel. Stagnating Temperatures Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out By Gerald Traufetter Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents. At least the weather in Copenhagen is likely to be cooperating. The Danish Meteorological Institute predicts that temperatures in December, when the city will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference, will be one degree above the long-term average. Otherwise, however, not much is happening with global warming at the moment. The Earth's average temperatures have stopped climbing since the beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year. Ironically, climate change appears to have stalled in the run-up to the upcoming world summit in the Danish capital, where thousands of politicians, bureaucrats, scientists, business leaders and environmental activists plan to negotiate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations.Billions of euros are at stake? I wonder when it will occur to anyone that "billions of euros are stake" might have something to do with "the science is settled." These people believe George W. Bush starts wars in order to goose Haliburton's stock price by half a point but they don't ever consider that billions of euros being at stake might induce someone to deliberately fudge a regression analysis. Reached a Plateau The planet's temperature curve rose sharply for almost 30 years, as global temperatures increased by an average of 0.7 degrees Celsius (1.25 degrees Fahrenheit) from the 1970s to the late 1990s. "At present, however, the warming is taking a break," confirms meteorologist Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in the northern German city of Kiel. Latif, one of Germany's best-known climatologists, says that the temperature curve has reached a plateau. "There can be no argument about that," he says. "We have to face that fact." Even though the temperature standstill probably has no effect on the long-term warming trend, it does raise doubts about the predictive value of climate models, and it is also a political issue. For months, climate change skeptics have been gloating over the findings on their Internet forums. This has prompted many a climatologist to treat the temperature data in public with a sense of shame, thereby damaging their own credibility. "It cannot be denied that this is one of the hottest issues in the scientific community," says Jochem Marotzke, director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. "We don't really know why this stagnation is taking place at this point." Just a few weeks ago, Britain's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research added more fuel to the fire with its latest calculations of global average temperatures. According to the Hadley figures, the world grew warmer by 0.07 degrees Celsius from 1999 to 2008 and not by the 0.2 degrees Celsius assumed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. And, say the British experts, when their figure is adjusted for two naturally occurring climate phenomena, El Niño and La Niña, the resulting temperature trend is reduced to 0.0 degrees Celsius -- in other words, a standstill. The differences among individual regions of the world are considerable. In the Arctic, for example, temperatures rose by almost three degrees Celsius, which led to a dramatic melting of sea ice. At the same time, temperatures declined in large areas of North America, the western Pacific and the Arabian Peninsula. Europe, including Germany, remains slightly in positive warming territory. Mixed Messages But a few scientists simply refuse to believe the British calculations. "Warming has continued in the last few years," says Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). However, Rahmstorf is more or less alone in his view. Hamburg Max Planck Institute scientist Jochem Marotzke, on the other hand, says: "I hardly know any colleagues who would deny that it hasn't gotten warmer in recent years."Incidentally, billions of euros are at stake. The controversy sends confusing and mixed messages to the lay public. Why is there such a vigorous debate over climate change, even though it isn't getting warmer at the moment? And how can it be that scientists cannot even arrive at a consensus on changes in temperatures, even though temperatures are constantly being measured?Perhaps you suggested that too strongly. But then, billions in euros are at stake. The article goes on as the never-say-die Natural Climate Fluctuation Denialists posit suddenly that natural factors -- like the less-radiative sun, or the oscillations of the ocean that can store large amounts of heat, and then suddenly start releasing them -- explain the current cooling. But what they don't explain is why it is such natural forces are able to easily explain the missing "global warming" (and the global cooling, too), and yet aren't -- the science is settled! -- able to likewise explain a 1 degree rise in temperatures from 1980 to 1998. It seems natural factors are, bizarrely, capable of cooling only, and only when absolutely necessary to help "fix" the utterly-wrong computer models. The moment they get data suggesting some warming, there is absolutely no possibility whatsoever that these same powerful natural forces could have a thing to do with that. Comments1

CJ s response is purely delusional. He fails to understand the meaning of what is being said and relies upon completely superfluous issues to denigrate the obvious meaning of the posts. When the author of the post indicating that he is adding .15 degrees to the 1981 -2001 period and subtracting the same amount from the 1961 - 1981 period says he no longer knows what he meant, something is amiss. When Michael Mann and Briffa's tree ring data that justified the hockey stick graph is admitted to be completely wrong but publicly defended then something is very amiss.

Posted by: ace at November 20, 2009 06:17 PM (jlvw3) You sure that didn't mean hide the recliner? Have you seen the size of Chucky's ass lately?

Nice write-up, ace. But as far as the "science of GW is concerned", I pay no attention to it except as a strictly academic excercise. Because none of this GW bullshit is about the climate. It's about money and power. This is one of the heads of the beast trying to devour not only the wealth of prosperous nations but to subjugate everyone to the whims of a few self-proclaimed elitists. Oh, and by the way. Charles Johnson can go fuck himself.

The language these so-called scientists use is curiously unscientific. "There can be no argument," is about as antithetical to the scientific method as anything I have ever read.
And "We have to explain to the public?" What? You are a climatologist, not a politician. Your job is to solve the riddles of the universe, not be a tout for some hack ex-vice president who is making billions by fleecing the suckers. Posted by: NJConservative at November 20, 2009 06:28 PM (/Ywwg) 30

CJ must be a speed reader. He read through all those megabytes of hacked emails in less than a few hours and promptly declared a nontroversy. It's astonishing that someone who is interested in the issue would be so hasty to declare that there could be _nothing_ of any interest in the internal correspondence of the organization that feeds much of the primary data to the rest of the climate scientists. Even a true AGW believer ought to be at least curious to see the clockwork. Necessary disclaimer: of course I deplore hacking. Posted by: gp at November 20, 2009 06:29 PM (qtl7U) 34
Charles The LunGFish once responded to Tim Blair's question about how Charles could have changed his mind so completely on AGW by saying, "I got educated about the subject." Apparently he's not clear on the difference in meaning and usage between the words "educated" and "indoctrinated."

What happened to Charlie?
I used to enjoy his site, but only go now to see the news aggregator hits at the top of the page. His choice of stories and the constant Palin basing, white power fascination, and save the planet pre-occupation has made him lethally dull. I suspect, like some twisted Hannibal Lecter novel, Andrew Sullivan has killed and eaten Charlie, and now is impersonating him as a progressive thinking right wing blogger... Shame.

@4
If the threat is truly dire and humanity faces world wide calamity, then how in the world can any serious AGW adherent agree to exempting all the developing nations from participating in the proposed restrictions. Continuing with that thought, if GW really is the existential threat you say it is, why the hell are you taking your eye off the ball and worrying about small beer like health care and Afghanistan. If we are all going to die, what the hell difference does it make if you control health care or not? Posted by: pep at November 20, 2009 06:39 PM (DZyVK) 47

Ace, I send you tip money, don't you listen Leave this asshole alone. I don't remember the last time I visited LGF, but it must have been a long time ago, since I am not banned. Just give this fucker up. NO MORE LGF shit on AoSHQ! OK. It's like a twelve step program, only you drink. Er, that clear enough? We don't read his shit, we don't care wtf he does, so YOU stop reading his shit! Wasting your blog space on this is really STUPID! Have a nice day!

What does "hide the decline" mean, I wonder? Well, the author of this little gem is British, so it could mean many things. Many of which are hilarious to read about, but dreadful to experience personally. @ As for Charles Johnson; it looks like hefs descending into a vat of spittle-washed Truth/The Correct Way sermons (although embarrassingly simple and short), downdings, authoritarian bannings, serial retractions / corrections / "never-heard-of-it"s and general and long-lasting embarrassment. Regrettable. Musicians (i.e., people who have learned to play a musical instrument well, and well enough to be paid by other accomplished musicians for public performance; NOT singers, DJs, mixmasters, and other posers) tend to be above-average-smart to titanically-brilliant (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart). Note that this isnft the same as, and not a substitute for, education / training. Without suitable education / training in the area of interest (in this case politics, and related areas, maybe law, history), itfs easy to be fooled by others, particularly fawning sycophants. I wonder if Dan Rather is watching. Posted by: Arbalest at November 20, 2009 07:54 PM (Ym9lj) 135

How is it that if the Earth has warmed a degree or two in the last thirty years that the caps are melting? That would mean that the polar caps had been hovering at around 31F. But the caps are well below 0F.
I could understand that places thousands of miles from the caps--that were just at the freezing point--are now melting. Well, maybe I'm naive. Or maybe I just need pony tail man to explain it all. Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I do not believe that matter came into being on its own, or that matter has always existed. I guess that makes me ponytailiciously evil!!!

Haven't had time to wade thru the comments yet, but...Dayum! The emails I've been reading all day on WUWT and other "skeptic" sites are absolutely damning. The top guys behind the AGW movement--Phil Jones, Michael Mann, Gavin whatisname who started the "Real Climate" blog--are all shown discussing how to a) keep professional climate journals from accepting articles criticizing AGW theory or poking holes in the methodology; b) dodge legitimate FOIA requests to examine their taxpayer-funded data and the computer algorithms used to "correct" certain datapoints (which seem to always be the ones that don't show as high a temp as the fakers think they should); c) screen comments on pro-AGW blogs to keep critics out, while appearing to welcome all viewpoints; d) coordinate responses to the few critical letters that manage to make it into print and criticize AGW studies.
Oh, these guys are absolute fucking *pinnacles* of scientific integrity! It'll be interesting to see if a single word of this makes the MSM. Bastards, the whole lot of 'em. Including the MSM. Posted by: sf at November 20, 2009 08:08 PM (xz5dP) 141

Global warming is real and other failed predictions:
Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich warned in 1969 that American life expectancy could be reduced to only 42 years by the 1980s because of an epidemic of cancer caused by modern chemicals and pesticides. In the 1970s, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors published the book "Limits to Growth" warning that if policymakers didn't limit growth, the world would run out of resources and suffer economic collapse. They even developed an elaborate computer model to prove their point. Posted by: Guy Fawkes at November 20, 2009 08:29 PM (DIYmd) 154

Hiya, Chuckie!
I guess this ain't the time to alert you to the fact that belief in man made climate change has been awarded the status of a religion in England. (Oh dear, how to still be an atheist and a global warming believer.....oh me oh my....) BTW, if you knew a damn thing about science, you would know that no real scientist EVER says that the debate is "settled". No matter how the evidence stacks up at this particular time, there is always the possibility that new discoveries can....and will....upset the current paradigm. (See Einstein ~ Physics, Darwin ~ Biology, etc.) Please stick to your "art photography" until you get this basic concept, ok? Have a nice day....somewhere else.

It is already too late to avoid mass starvation. Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim
timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will
spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near
East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and
Central America will exist under famine conditions
.By the year 2000,
thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western
Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine. Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence
to support
the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will
have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution
by 1985 air pollution
will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half

Here is Charles Johnson earlier today:
Email Charles quotes: Ive just completed Mikes Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keiths to hide the decline. Charles replies: Trick, of course, can also mean an effective technique, but if you were desperately hunting for anything smear-worthy, I suppose the word would stand out. Yes, Charles, "an effective technique" to "hide the decline." Nothing wrong with that... Here is another one Charles can creatively reinterpret: The other paper by MM is just garbage as you knew. De Freitas again. Pielke is also losing all credibility as well by replying to the mad Finn as well frequently as I see it. I cant see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. K and I will keep them out somehow even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is ! [Emphasis mine.] Of course, the morons at Real Climate attempt to argue that this release proves there is no conspiracy to misrepresent and modify the data because the emails show just how dedicated the climate scientists in question believe in their theory. (Many of whom are, of course, involved with Real Climate.) Got that? Science depends not on data, but on the extent to which you adhere to a theory. In other words, it depends on faith. Perhaps Charle should reconsider creationism if he buys that argument. Posted by: Mike Z. at November 20, 2009 09:18 PM (BBlLR) 205

In the supposedly angry crowd, you hear only one woman droning on "Sign our books" with the exact cadence of "O-ba-ma," and one heckling male. Based on two likely lefty disruptors, the left wants to call everyone else in the crowd "angry." In fact, they all look just like looky-loos, crowding in to photograph a celebrity. But the media is putting out the word: Don't buy her book, or you'll be very angry at how she treats you. I can't tell, by the way, but it sure sounds like Sarah Palin comes out to address the looky-loos here, and, conveniently enough, the "angry crowd" video ends just after that. Just a Grunt is refusing to link the video, as lefties are trying to make it viral, and I'll respect that advice. But if you're curious -- as he says, it's on every single lefty site.

Governor Palin has already responded on her facebook:
The response on this book tour has been overwhelming. We are truly humbled, and I thank you. I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain, and the book signing event ended without a chance to say hello to everyone who showed up. I am so sorry. We are working on a solution for those who were left behind. I apologize. - Sarah Palin Posted by: enoxo at November 20, 2009 05:58 PM (+J6OV) 10
As a life-long conservative Christian Republican and strong Sarah Palin supporter, I must say I'm disappointed.
That fact that Sarah Palin refused to sign everyone's books and that she started a near riot! Well, after that I could never ever vote for her. I'll just shut off my TV when she comes on and I urge all true conservatives to do the same. Posted by: Concerned Palin Supporter at November 20, 2009 05:59 PM (HylJ6) 11
She must be an Obama supporter because she chants "sign our books" with the exact same cadence of "O-ba-ma"????? Are you kidding? Is this some kind of stupid joke? She also used the same exact cadence of "Let's go Mets!" and "At-ti-ca". That must mean that she's also a Mets fan and a prison rioter!
Are you really such a warped wingnut that any time you hear a chat with a three-beat cadence you assume that person is an Obama fan? Or is that just whenever it suits your justifications ("this video MUST be a hoax -- I'll find the down-low Obama supporters in it!").

From what Ive been able to find out from local news (yes, local, not the national) she met over 1,000 people in scheduled time. Her contract with Borders stated she had to leave at 9pm, no later, but the bookstore gave out more wristbands (around 100 extra at max) than possible to fit in the time slot.
She signed books as she moved through the crowd to the bus. And listening to the video, there were only around 3 people shouting / booing. I attribute those to liberals who were just going to sell the book on ebay (which has over 100 copies up now). No 'Cuda fan would be shouting, calling her a quitter--those were flat out liberals.

Yes, I must agree with the others here who have voiced their concern. Sarah Palin's distinct lack of concern for the feelings of those concerned about their health-care has this staunch conservative who loves apple pie and race cars and Toby Urban records very concerned. I'm afraid I may have to support Bernie Sanders for president if my republican party (which I love more than dear jesus himself) doesn't come to its senses and get behind a less divisive and more reasonable candidate who supports a woman's right to choose and a Frenchman's right to U.S. taxpayer-funded healthcare.

Over at C4P they've got a good article up of the 17 year old gal that was "interviewed" by Nora O'Donnel. The left wing media and their cohorts where caught off balance by the shear magnitude of Palin's appeal. I think in the coming weeks you'll see a lot more "staged" events by the MSM and the democrates operatives. Posted by: Bosk at November 20, 2009 06:41 PM (pUO5u) 69

Don't listen to these people Sally Ann. They're just like me: Concerned, beaten, defeated, half-crazed christian conservative Republicans who just can't admit to themselves that we need to move to the center if we have any hope of winning any election ever again. I've tried to tell them that 2008's election was a clear message from the voters that fundamentalist right-wing extremists like John McCain will not be tolerated. Where are the real Republicans today? The thoughtful, anti-war, pro government spending conservatives committed to social justice and a Woman's Right to Choose?

It's really tough, maybe Sally is correct, could anyone apologise for American as Obama has? or bow as deeply, really we need to think hard on this, there is no one as insightfully apologetic as Obama for the crime of being raised in America. None hat can wipe away the sins of our collective mistakes as Obama. I truly luuuuuv that Chavez adores us as does Castro, that Hondurans and citizens of Iran feel the luuv. Georgians ukrainians all feel Hope for Change , bcause Change is lovely afterall don't be downers, embrace the hope for us all. oh yeah Palins is an uneducated hick at shoots animals and is a awfully distastful breeder, that is waaaaay to sexy to have a mind. so let her go. just let her go.

We're so "anti-intellectual", yet it's liberals who resort to dirty tricks and dishonest videos in further attempts to attack a woman who holds no public office. Before that it was transparently false documents trying to portray a President as a military duty shirker. You people are so full of shit and so breathtakingly juvenile. You are a collection of self-absorbed, spoiled, emotionally stunted permanent college students who think lying and character assassination are the way to "stick it to the squares". Grow the fuck up.

Do precisely two angry hooters convert the other 300 picture-takers into an "angry mob"? If 300 people are at a bar and one yells "I love rape" are the rest rapists? Are you a fucking moron? Politico saw no "angry crowd," by the way. They were there and didn't see this "angry crowd." That's because two idiots hooting near their own cellphone's microphone do not an "angry crowd" make. And yes, the O-ba-ma thing is a stretch, but not so much given that one of the supposed Palinistas quoted byu the AP turns out to be a fan of Barack Obama.

Bullshit. I just got home from the Columbus book signing (Borders) and if anyone is to blame, it was the book store. After having camped out all night in 39 degree temps, they didn't tell people until the next morning that they were cutting the wristbands from 1000 to 500, and it was because at the other signings, she was nowhere near done after her 3 hour scheduled time was up when doing 1000 wristbands.
I got to the store at like 11pm on Thurs night, so I was like the 90th person in line, and it was a steady flow all night and then a surge in the morning right after sunrise from people that had no idea what kind of turnout she would get. I'd say that they had 2,000-2,500 people easy where I was. The line wrapped all around the strip mall (Borders situated in the middle) until the end met up with the beginning. Anyway IT WAS AWESOME and I got a good chunk of time with her because she loved my 'Reagan Resistance' shirt and the people who had already gone ahead of me said I had the most time with her up to that point. AWESOME. She's more gorgeous in person, and way more petite than I imagined. It totally had a campaign rally feel to it, not gonna lie. Just sayin. I had a blast, met some cool people, and would do it all over again in a hot minute.

Signing your name 1,000 or 2,000 times (people can get up to two books signed) in three hours is almost as bad as closing on a mortgage. ;-) Give the lady a break. Even baseball pitchers only throw about 100 pitches before they take them out so they don't injure themselves. She can only do so much. And she's arranging to make amends for those who were left out.

I often marvel at how people IGNORE all of Sarah Palin's accomplishments. They act like she has none and is popular for no particular reason other then people identify with her. Please share these FACTS.
1. Sarah took on corruption in her own party and risked her career in politics doing it. Name one politician who has done this that is currently serving. By the way, has Obama asked Charlie Rangel to step aside? NO, they are in the same party after all. 2. Sarah cut the budget in the Alaska which is unheard of. She saved money when the oil money was flowing in so now when the oil price dropped they are not cutting police or education or raising taxes to balance the budget. How are New York and California doing by the way on their budgets? How is Obama doing with his deficit projections? 9 trillion right? 3. Sarah TOOK ON THE MOST POWERFUL COMPANIES IN THE WORLD, the big oil companies to make sure Alaskans were getting a fair shake and SHE WON. Has Obama bucked the big labor unions in a similar fashion? Or the trial lawyers? 4. Sarah negotiated a natural gas pipeline deal that will result in the largest construction project in North America which will produce REAL JOBS and will provide CLEAN energy to the lower 48. Has Obama ever...oh never mind, its obvious he has not done anything like this and neither has anyone else who currently serves. Posted by: Dan at November 20, 2009 08:48 PM (KZraB) 108

yeah, it all sounds so true. I know that I base my support of Sarah Palin on whether she acknowledges my existence or not.
I'm claiming bullshit on people like this: There were approximately 400 people holding coveted wristbands outside in the rain when Gov. Palin's bus pulled away. I was one of the disappointed 400. At a minimum, she could have apologized and posed for a photo for the group. Instead, she waved as the bus pulled away. I'm returning my book to Borders tonight and I am rethinking my position on Gov. Palin. You are such a piece of shit. There's no way you were ever a Palin supporter if that makes you rethink your position. Posted by: pajama momma at November 20, 2009 09:14 PM (W2yhR) 114

This isn't the first time Borders has screwed up with book signings. They give out too many wristbands and then the people who got there late don't get in. They handed out 1000 wristbands and expected her to sign that many in 3 hours? Yeah right. Gee, I'm surprised Borders even wanted to sell her book. They usually bury any Conservative author's books somewhere, even if they're best sellers. And I'd be willing to bet that most of those late-comers were simply hoping to get an autographed copy to sell on EBay, not because they were fans of Sarah.

9 - Heather - LOL! Uff da - I have to send that along to the 32nd! "Some of the most dramatic skirmishes were centered around Kenosha, where a mob of masked snowmobilers invaded the Texas Roadhouse on I-94, briefly holding the margarita machine hostage. They were later seen storming the beverage department at Woodman's, where they purchased several cases of Point and a pack of Merit menthols, and later at the Brat Stop classic rock/sausage outlet, where they were reported angrily "boogie-ing out" on air guitar to featured entertainment Molly Hatchett. But by far the fiercest demonstration took place in Green Bay's Lambeau Shrine parking lot where throngs of Packer faithful burned Texas flags and effigies of Roger Staubach as Lutheran pastors led them in chants of "Those who defame the Vince suck" and "Favre is Great." Many of the frenzied demonstrators were seen ritualistically beating themselves with mozzarella sticks."
