Well, since she's holding a Target bag, and there are no Target stores in Alaska, I'm wondering if she's ever seen that kid before.

After a quick review of the Huffington Post's tribute to Piper, I'm going to go with it actually being her. What a cutie!

All of which is why I've just stopped posting in these political threads. I know that if I want to discuss the issues, there are people I can PM (as I've said before, you, nittanyalum, and others).

There's the picture off the office of the Alaska governor's website that its photoshopped from (she's making the peace sign and someone took her index finger off). But yeah, posting that was completely pointless Daemon. If you're going to copy and paste stuff here from Democratic Underground at least copy and paste the post where even those nutjobs pointed out that it was pointless, retarded, and a photoshop too.

heh wanna bet she's telling him to shut up? We had some teachers do that in school.
It's stupid, if it were a real pic it'd been amusing but it says nothing about politics.

But the whole point of the Article I/II misstep is that Biden did not, in fact, indicate that he knew what the VP did. However, it's an esoteric distinction, so no one on Earth would/should care. It's just irony, really.

just say the word...and let's hope we both can AFFORD a beer by then!

A photoshopped picture is just bad juju. It has its place in a humor thread, on a humor site, on Fark.com, but not when people are actually wanting to discuss things.
Seriously DS, I've lost a lot of respect for you over the attitude of "HA HA HA SMEAR THE GOP BECAUSE ITS FUNNY" when I do believe you disagree with McCain smearing Obama. Pot, please meet kettle.

I didn't even notice the kid, I thought the joke was Palin's coat. That said, I much prefer to stick to real issues.

I saw the Target they were building in Wasilla last summer from the Alaska Railroad car I was riding in. There's another store being built in Anchorage. Have no idea if they are open yet or when it will happen.

Ok...that is fine...but...here is something that you should see...McCain in his own words contradicts himself as he goes negative this week...you know how they say your words will come back to haunt you...and this is no laughing matter:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsX2Gx9jl_o
and yeah...you can be mad that people are making fun of the GOP but let's face it...teh GOP has made a laughingstock of the US for the past 8 years and McCAin's running and what he is doing and how he is trying to take our minds off of real problems shows that he just doesn't give a damn.....

Me too, but weirdly, I kind of liked the coat. Not as something I would wear myself but just as something that I thought was funny-cute for her to wear. I'm not sure why.

OMG WOW OH NOES! You finally noticed what is commonly called presidential politics. Every candidate - including your dear Obamessiah - promises to run a clean campaign and not be politics as usual and every one of them proceeds to run negative ads.
And I think the point earlier wasn't that people shouldn't make fun of the GOP, it was that if they want to they shouldn't flip out when people make fun of their party/candidate. So if you want to bitch about how mean McCain is and they shouldn't make fun of Obama, you may want to consider the fact that 3/4 of your posts in this forum are attacks or ridiculing Republicans which have no base in any issue, or at least not any real understanding of any issue, whatsoever.
