Sarah Palin fans stiffed at book signing

Hundreds of fans in Noblesville, Indiana lined up all day in the cold and rain at a Borders bookstore for the chance to meet Sarah Palin and get their copies of Going Rogue signed by the former Alaskan governor.  The first 1,000 people in line that bought a copy of the book were given a colored wristband. This was supposed to ensure that they would get their book signed by Palin. The problem is that Palin left the book signing before everyone that had a wristband could get a signature.

Is it so hard to believe that a person who quit in the middle of her term as governor would also quit her own book signing? I say no. This is what makes her the lovable  that she is. You think she’s going to do one thing, but she does the complete opposite.

These people that walked away from the book signing without a signature should not be sad or disappointed. They should be happy. They’ve been rogued by Sarah Palin. They should display their colored wristband and their unsigned book as a shrine to Sarah Palin and the complete rogue that she is.

Granted, she could have stayed at the book signing and continued to sign books for everyone that stood all day in the cold and the rain, but that would have been inconvenient for Sarah Palin. She’s not particularly found of doing things that are personally inconvenient for her. For example, finishing her term as Alaska governor.

Republican congressman predicts the Democratic party will be history within a year

Mike Pence, Republican representative from Indiana and the chairman of the House Republican Conference was on Fox News Sunday this morning and made the claim that last night’s vote for health care reform will bring about the end of the Democratic party.

In about a year.

From Fox News:

“I think the American people are deeply frustrated with a liberal establishment in Washington, D.C. that is ignoring their will,” Pence said. “If Democrats keep ignoring the American people, their party’s going to be history in about a year.”

Personally, I get somewhat frustrated with the liberal establishment in Washington D.C., but that’s because it’s not liberal enough. Something tells me that’s not what Rep. Pence was talking about. I think Pence is confused and believes that the uninformed, poorly educated people that scream and shout at town hall meetings demanding that the government keep it’s hands of Medicare, represent the entire country.

Thankfully, they don’t. Not all of us spend our afternoons throwing teabags into plastic wading pools.
