Sarah Palin’s Tasty Word Salad of the Day: “When You’re Here, Let’s Speak American!”

She’s on the comeback trail

Sarah Palin is angling for a job with President Donald Trump (shudder) as energy secretary, believe it or else, and today she appeared on CNN where Jake Tapper inexplicably interviewed her as if she’s a credible figure, and agreed with The Donald that people who are in America should “speak American.” Yep, she really said that.

She also said in this interview that she took both Spanish and French in high school, but she “shouldn’t have taken ‘em both” because she “got ‘em all mixed up.” Which is not difficult to believe at all.

And this part was especially wonderful:

I think Republicans and independents, that is the party of tolerance! It certainly doesn’t matter the color of your skin! And some of the other things that uh, you know, are banted round as being, um, kind of the judging barometer of whether somebody is welcome in the party or not.

“Banted?” What language does that come from? It’s the 2015 version of Palin’s classic made-up word, “refudiate.”

Not for nothing did she win the LGF nickname of Princess Dumbass of the North Woods.

Like I said after the Palin interview (i.e. fellation) of Trump. Trump is lucky that “the first dude,” loves money more than he loves Sarah or Trump would have one angry, jealous dude after his ass.

I read a paper a few weeks ago that suggests people use the same neural pathways to perform a skill as they use to judge their ability to perform that same skill. So people like Palin are not only really bad at language, they are so bad at language that they cannot tell how stupid they sound. That is the only logical explanation I can come up with for Palin, her speech centers are so weak that she can’t understand the difference between proper meaningful speech and what comes out of her mouth and so can’t stop talking.

“Banted…” Derived from combining bandied and batted together. What this means is she had two words in mind, but couldn’t choose between them and wound up fusing them together. What this also means is that she actually chooses the words she uses, which means she thinks about what’s coming out of her mouth. It’s more horrific than I ever imagined inside that crazy head of hers.

That makes a lot of sense and explains many things. Which, I suppose, is why it’s science. :P

General inability to judge one’s own work in a vacuum is the problem that lends structure to formal art education: group critique, working with an accomplished teacher, and the emphasis on constant observation and practice, are all parts of a good art education designed to overcome this neurological bias.

Whether art education acquired this structure consciously or through natural evolution, I don’t know, but I feel a little better about my own difficulties now.

Lets help prevent that whole thing. Saw this had been retweed so HT to B Sharp, ran down a link.

When 75-year-old Robert Guillo hears candidate Donald Trump speak for “the silent majority” and promise to “put people back to work,” he has to laugh.

Guillo is one of hundreds of former “students” of the now-defunct Trump University; an entity the New York attorney general says was a grand scam that put $5 million in Trump’s pocket.

“As soon as I attended the first workshop, I knew I had been scammed,” Guillo said. “Every single workshop, they charged you another amount. Everything was to get you to spend more and more and more.”

Sarah knows enough big words to make herself sound truly stupid. Her little pea brain takes a word she heard and she thinks she knows and just slaps it into a space that appears to be correct and you end with this disjointed claptrap that is pure Palin.

I wonder how far the collective literacy of the U.S. fell when she hit the scene and began babbling and taken serious by a large portion of Wingnuttia?

I’m pretty sure somewhere along the line someone has taken he aside and said Sarah, we need to work with you on they way you say things. And she probably shot back, I make more money and America loves me more than you and people like me just the way I am you betcha!

Years ago in my little state college we had artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith for a visiting speaker. Super nice lady. She gave a general talk about cultures and subcultures. One not-really-a-bombshell she dropped was “even the KKK has a culture!”, which completely broke the brain of some idiot girl in the room who thought she was defending the KKK… That was amazing. Anyhow she brought some of her works with her, one of which was State Names. In principle all she did was illustrate which of the U.S. States had Native-derived names. As it turns out, that’s about half of them.

People shouldn’t doubt the power of art to illustrate a point and change somebody’s mind. I had never thought of things in that way. I remember the piece being lighter and not so drippy as the one in the link, so maybe she brought a prototype piece, but it made a mark. Then on the way home, I passed by a local high school holding a football rally with “war drums” thumping so loud I could hear them in my car with the windows up.

We’ve simultaneously appropriated and destroyed so much, it’s a fucking wonder we know there were native peoples here at all. People will scream about liburl re-writing of history, but I think the fundamental sins of this nation’s founding need to be addressed openly in our history education.

Problem with that map is that it’s a snapshot in time. About the same time the first of the French fur traders showed up here on the southern shore of Superior, the Ojibwa were just finishing shoving the Lakota out of the woodlands and onto the plains where most whites, if they have any knowledge of Native Americans at all, would think of them being. It was, from the oral history and archaeological evidence, a fairly nasty little war.

Doesn’t negate the basic lesson you’re making. It’s just a reminder that they have as long a history as Europeans and Asians do but we ignore it even more utterly than we do rest of the non- ‘Murican history.

Market forces mean nothing when your business is providing an essential service people can’t do without. People put up with insanely cramped airplane cabins because they have no choice.

Not only cramped cabins, but a major reduction in flight options, multiple flights to get to places that used to have direct connections/long layovers etc.

I travel a lot for work (don’t have the option of not flying.)

Years ago when we lived in Frisco’s Fillmore District, a cockatiel showed up in our backyard, which my wife took in and they bonded like crazy. They’re very possessive birds, and a year later while we were on vacation for a month the sweet little thing committed suicide (ironically by bashing itself into one of my wife’s drawings which was hanging in her studio), which I’ve learned is not unusual among that breed. A sad story, really.

Problem with that map is that it’s a snapshot in time. About the same time the first of the French fur traders showed up here on the southern shore of Superior, the Ojibwa were just finishing shoving the Lakota out of the woodlands and onto the plains where most whites, if they have any knowledge of Native Americans at all, would think of them being. It was, from the oral history and archaeological evidence, a fairly nasty little war.

Doesn’t negate the basic lesson you’re making. It’s just a reminder that they have as long a history as Europeans and Asians do but we ignore it even more utterly than we do rest of the non- ‘Murican history.

When the Athabascan speakers entered America much, much later and submerged all the preexisting peoples in Alaska and Northwest Canada, that probably wasn’t too pretty, but hey—no records, so it doesn’t count. /

re: #193 The War TARDIS

Unfortunately, a chunk of the fandom has glommed on to this and is praising Shatner.

May I remind everyone of the last showrunner?

Or the entirety of Love and Monsters.

I suspect that, if you ask most of those “fans” what their favorite Tennant episodes are, most of them would be the ones Moffet wrote.

Good article, ending like this:

[…]

Levy’s prescription for maximum lizard survival is nesting in shadier locations, which would compensate for the effects of warming in 95% of the country, and in deeper soil, which would compensate for warming in some 99.9% of the US. Together, those two strategies should help provide a buffer against the most extreme heat waves and cold snaps. Now somebody just has to tell the lizards.

I rather liked the 9th Doctor. The 10th is pretty good so far. I am eager to see what the future holds as I work my way through the rest of the series.

I’m more of an 11th or 12th fan myself. Most of my family likes the 10th more, but we’re mainly Doctor Who fans.

What makes it worse is that Moffat is not a tough person.

He left Twitter because the abuse he was getting from those who didn’t like him.

So, Shatner is just a being a massive bully.

Don’t hold it against Star Trek, as I love TNG when it was on when I was very little.

4th remains by far the best with the 9th a close second (gah, if only he’d have done several years.). 10 & 11 aren’t bad but are back near the level 3 or 7.

12 though has brought things back up tremendously from the last two.

One of the guys that volunteers at the shop for shop credit has a problem with a rat. His neighbor has a couple of snakes and one of the white rats that they get fed got loose.

It’s now living in his garage… but it gets better. He has a Mastiff puppy, the rat is eating the “High Protein Puppy Chow” and now is so big that he can’t really run anymore. Not that he has to, the puppy has made it his friend, my buddy saw the dog eating on one side of the bowl, the rat on the other. (Oh, and the rat sleeps in the puppies travel crate with it.

Now I’m not going to swear that every element in that story is true, Mike has been know to stretch a bit for a good story, but I have seen the videos of it, and it’s YOOGE

Haven’t read too many reviews, not my thing. I just listed my own favorites. Tom Baker’s characterization of The Doctor - aloof yet witty, a dark edge yet full of whimsical humor & a strict moral code - was a rich mine that no one has matched though, again _I_ think, 9 & 12 have come close.

I was under the understanding that 10 was rather popular. I had never heard anything good about the 11th Doctor.

I liked Smith and the 11th Doctor over Tennant and the 10th for the same reason I like Daniel Craig’s version of Bond over Pierce Brosnan’s: His felt like a more realistic place. I like to see the danger of a universe filled with creatures and see the toll it takes on a 1000 year old being. Which is why I like the 12th.

Edited for clarity.

(However, when he’s not taking this country back for the Lord, he’s advocating nukes, abortion bans, and oh, displaying the 10 commandments as a secular thing—yeah, he’s not crazy.)

“It’s not a religious statement at all. It’s more historical from my perspective, because of the incorporation and the well-known and well-discussed and well-documented fact that much of our judicial system today is based off of the 10 Commandments,” he said.
