Sarah Palin is a Post Turtle

I recently rec'd this from a friend:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up aconversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with."

Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award

This is only the second time I've awarded the "Rigid Digit." I realize that I'm dating myself to those who recall this "Rowan & Martin Laugh-In" dubious achievement award, but what-the-heck. The first award went to Rep. Trillo.

And it goes to (drum roll....) that bad boy himself- NEA's

Pat Crowley.

It recently came to my attention (from himself) that Pat has been the central topic of at least 47 recent postings on Anchor Rising & Ocean State Republican (and not in a good way). Quite an accomplishment. Actually, I think it's likely higher. And I haven't been mentioned even once. Oh, darn!
