Taking the High Road

See, a video like this... this is exactly the kind of race-baiting dirty trick you'd expect from the Republicans... and we'd never want to stoop to their level, even if it meant the difference between winning or losing an election... so whatever you do, do NOT, under any circumstances, pass it along. Do not email this link to friends or coworkers, and do not embed this video in your own websites. Because if you do, this video might go viral, especially in southern toss-up states like Virginia and North Carolina where it might do the most damage, and we just wouldn't want that to happen. Because it would be wrong. Very, very wrong.

And while you're at it, that email that's been going around containing the list of books Sarah Palin tried to get banned from the Wasilla library? It's not true. Sure, Palin did repeatedly ask the city librarian how one would go about banning books, and when she replied to the mayor that she would not be all right with such a request, Palin demanded her resignation. But as far as we know, Palin never issued any written list of the books she wanted banned.

So please, please, if you've received this damaging, slightly misleading email, delete it, and absolutely positively do not pass it on. (And if you haven't received the email, under no circumstances should you conveniently copy it from here.) Indeed, the very worst thing you could do would be to forward this email to your entire address book--repeatedly--because to do so would be dishonest, irresponsible and politically effective... you know, just like that bogus "Obama is a Muslim" email that's likely cost him untold numbers of the "I believe anything I read in my email" vote. And we're better than that.

So the black dude fathering Bristol's baby and the banned book things...? Shhhh.

I'm just sayin'....

Brilliant video!!!

So simple and so to the point!

Why in the world did they out her daughter (if she is, indeed, actually pregnant)? If it was just to dispel those "horrible" rumors that the youngest Palin was born to Sarah, why didn't they just produce some medical records or sworn letter from her M.D.? Remember McCain giving reporters access to his, and Obama's bill of health? Are a female candidates records more private. I simply don't understand the logic behind their '"neccesity" to out the daughter! I still don't know what the hell is going on on there? Who's who? Who's gonna be the First Daughter, Is The First Dude the father of Bristol's Daughter by any chance?

This video just bursts through the "sanctity" that they've set up around this crucial issue. Is The Down Syndrome baby even any of theirs? Perhaps they just adopted it as a good political prop!

If you like these king of piercing videos check out a brilliant new film, called "Coming Soon" which is streaming for free at http://www.comingsoon.cz. It's 100 min. long but it may be some of the best two hours of your life!!!

Mr. Goldstein,

If I am understanding you correctly, you are advising us to be good. Aren't you?Or as Monty Python so eloquently put it - " *nudge nudge wink wink, a winks as good as a nudge to a blind bat* " ??

A little anecdote for you. In the roaring 20s people found a way to sell alcohol by NOT selling alcohol. They did this with ads that read like: "For sale. One lb. block of dehydrated grape juice. Mix with 3 cups sugar and 2 gallons water. Warning: Under no circumstances should you mix and pour into a vat covered with cheese cloth and place in a dark corner, removing the cheese cloth daily and stirring. You should definitely not do this for up to two weeks until proper fermentation has occurred - then decanting into bottles. Because...... that would be making wine. And that would be breaking the law."
