Oh, we're gonna miss this little top 10 list when Lipgloss Lassie hightails it northward where the angry spirits of wronged moose and wolves will, one hopes, seek their revenge.
As bee-boy Thew observed in the first of these posts, this list is just the tip of a very vast (and melty!) iceberg when it comes to reasons to loathe this awful excuse for an American (yes, I am questioning her patriotism—it's not just about ranting and raving, it includes knowing a bit about the country you're so eager to defend).
Soon, we pray, all this idiocy will be behind us and we can then return to bees. In the meantime, check out the collected idiocies right here.

Yo, Sarah, here's the dictionary definition of terrorism, cause it seems you're (once again) a little confused:
terrorism |ˈterəˌrizəm|
noun
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

In this latest interview, Palin says the VP is "in charge of the United States Senate"—NOT!!! Jesus Christ, this woman is scary!

10 Reasons to Loathe Sarah Palin, Installment 7
My goodness, I've been so busy donating to the Obama campaign, dispensing cute "Boxers for Barack" pins to everyone we know, putting homemade Obama signs on our window, and gearing up to work the phones on behalf of That One, that I've fallen quite behind on my "Reasons to Loathe" list.
But Palin is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to reasons to loathe, so our little list is back in business.
Here's Uncle Woman cogently explaining how she would trash our precious constitution with her quote "opinion" re one man and one woman or one dead moose and one pregnant teenager or whatever she's received her latest personal instructions from God about, even as—in the same dumb breath—she spouts that "compassionate conservative" nonsense about not "sitting in judgment."
I cannot wait until these horrible hypocrites are roundly trounced in two short weeks.

Brigitte Bardot Belittles Barracuda
This just in from Huffpo:
French film legend-turned-activist Brigitte Bardot took a swipe at Sarah Palin on Tuesday, saying the US vice presidential candidate was a disgrace to women.
"I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the world," Bardot wrote in an open letter to Republican John McCain's running mate in the November vote.
"By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe," wrote Bardot.
The screen icon from the 1960s, who now heads an animal rights foundation, went on to assail Palin for supporting Arctic oil exploration that could jeopardize delicate animal habitats and for dismissing measures to protect polar bears.
"This shows your total lack of responsibility, your inability to protect or simply respect animal life," Bardot wrote.
In a final salvo against Palin, the 74-year-old ex-star picked up on Palin's depiction of herself as a pitbull wearing lipstick and said she "implored" her not to compare herself to dogs.
"I know them well and I can assure you that no pitbull, no dog, nor any other animal for that matter is as dangerous as you are," Bardot wrote.
I couldn't agree more on all counts...and the phrase "disconcertingly stupid" wins my vote for Palin-related pronouncement of the day.
We'll get back to bees...
As soon as this dang-blasted election is over and Obama nails it and Palin goes back to wherever it is she comes from with her tail between her legs and "Sweet Coconut" McCain goes to prison or whatever for being a big jerk.
In the meantime, I'm doing the "mavericky" thing by focusing on the icky urgency of now. Because yep, you betcha, the outcome of this election has everything to do with the prospects for honeybee survival and anything else worthwhile you might care to name. It's gonna be, to quote Uncle Woman, the "be all, end all."
In the meantime, let's enjoy the ride and try to keep our heads from exploding between now and election day. As an offering toward that end here's my #1 favorite Palin blog-post of the week. The post is written by the witty and wonderful Helen Philpot, who describes herself thusly:
My name is Helen Philpot. I am 82 years old. My grandson taught me how to do this so that I could “blog” with my best friend Margaret Schmechtman who I met in college almost 60 years ago. I have three children with my husband Harold. Margaret has three dogs with her husband Howard. I live in Texas and Margaret lives in Maine.
Check out Helen's blog.

"I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers," etc. If only it weren't so real.

10 Reasons to Loathe Sarah Palin, Installment 5
We thought George W. Bush had permanently shattered the glass ceiling on arrogant ineptitude, puppetry, and the inability to formulate a coherent thought or sentence—but apparently he was only the opening act.
Caribou Barbie—a living, breathing parody of herself—attains new heights of arrogant ineptitude, puppetry, and blithe stupidity. Indeed, she renders parody obsolete, as you'll see in these twin examples of the house of unfunny mirrors that this election has become.
The New Yorker's Hendrik Hertzberg said it best: "This seems to be a case of incoherence of thought leading to incoherence of syntax."

It's riotously funny that conservative columnist William Kristol has this to say in his most recent op-ed piece entitled, "How McCain Wins":
"Obama is, by contrast, a garden-variety liberal. He also has radical associates in his past. The most famous of these is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright...."
Is everyone out there aware of Caribou Barbie's radical associates—namely, her pastor, Thomas Muthee? Fasten yer pagan seatbelt.

Happy Monday!
Over the next few weeks (which will no doubt feel like eons), we're going to explore just a handful of the galaxy of reasons why Caribou Barbie has no place anywhere near the White House.
Here's as good a place as any to start:
1. She supports the barbaric, sadistic, morally indefensible activity of aerial hunting of wolves. (If the utterly psychotic nature of tracking, harassing, exhausting, and then shooting wild animals from helicopters is not immediately apparent, please watch this illuminating video and decide for yourself if someone who thinks this is "OK" will make an "OK" president...because if we let this insanity continue, she'll be president all right.)

We're Living in a Disney Nightmare
Sarah Palin = Disney nightmare.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll write another check to Obama.
(By the way, since I keep bees and "bee" rhymes with "free" and this is the "land of the free," I'm qualified to be V.P. At the very least, since I can see cows from my window, I should be qualified for the Secretary of Ag post. Incredibly, amazingly, astonishingly, Palin is continuing to push the "I can see Russia from my house" argument to tout her foreign policy "creds." It's really quite beyond comprehension. She should stick to what she knows—like slaughtering wolves from helicopters.)
