722...Bank Robbery 101

Sarah Palin and I read the same paper, The Anchorage Daily News don't you know, and last week they ran a nice little story about a fellow who obviously flunked out of bank robber academy but decided it was his calling anyhow.

It were not.

Jared Paul Arnold, who is 34 and should know better, walked into the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union on Juneau Street in Anchorage, Alaska. So far so good. He then gave his name and account number to the teller and showed his picture ID. It was his real name and it was his own account. Still doing good Mr. Arnold, still good. He asked the teller, Letecia Chroust, to check his balance. Good. Then he handed over a note that read "I have a gun. Give me all the money in your drawer." Not so good.

He remains in custody at the Anchorage jail.

506...And He Wanted To Be President

John McCain that is.

I caught this on on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday morning; Senator McCain expressed his surprise at Sarah Palin's unexpected announcement that she would be leaving her job as Alaska's governor. The Arizona Senator said he was not shocked by the move but he also does not believe his former vice presidential running mate actually quit, in spite of her resignation. "I don't think she quit," he said. "I think she changed her priorities."

Confused?

Of course you are.

435...Say It Ain't So Sarah Palin, Say It Ain't So

It's not what I want to hear and I have a right to know.

The Juneau Empire, paper of record in the capital of their 50th state, the state you can see from Russia, Alaska, reports that Governor Sarah Palin hastily called a news conference Friday morning at her home in suburban Wasilla, giving such short notice that only a few reporters actually made it to the announcement, saying that she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why. Speculation has been raised that she would focus on a run for the White House in 2012.

The former Republican vice presidential candidate will step down July 26.

Wonder what David Letterman will have to say about this.

263......Hotties In The News, III = Sarah Palin

Not only can Alaska Governor Sarah Palin see Russia from her house but she also can breathe fire.

And her breath is directed at CBS' late night talk show host David Letterman.

The Governor is piss'd that Mr. Letterman made "sexually perverted comments" about one of her teenage daughters Monday night when he remarked that when Governor Palin and family were at a New York Yankee's game "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriquez."

Today's New York Daily News goes on to report that in a prepared statement the former Vice Presidential candidate said that "Laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl [her 14 year old daughter, Willow, was the only Palin offspring at the game with her mom] is ... disgusting,". Mr. Letterman covered by saying the joke was about her 18 year old daughter, Bristol.

That is so much better.

A 62 year old former comedian making a joke about a 14 year girl having sex with a 33 year old athlete is disgusting but a 62 year old former comedian making a joke about a 18 year girl having sex with a 33 year old athlete is okay.

Or not.
