Oakland Might Become First U.S. City to Tax Marijuana Sales (SFist)
“She should also lead the nation’s mothers to oppose mandating replacement of incandescent light bulbs with the new mercury poison gas bulbs.”
— Peter Ferrara, of FOXNews.com, on the important work Sarah Palin must do after her “brilliant” career move (via TPM)
CNN’s Anderson Cooper vs. Sarah Palin’s SpokeswomenOMG. Meg Stapleton and Sarah Palin are THE SAME PERSON!
COOPER: But what if every governor made that decision? I mean, if every politician who decided, “well, I’m not going to run for re-election, so I’m just going to resign…” I mean, that’s not leadership.
STAPLETON: It IS leadership, Anderson. Because she can affect greater change - far greater change - in the United States, for the United States, and for Alaska away from that governor’s seat. Right now…
COOPER: How? What is she going to do?
STAPLETON: Oh, there are plenty of things that a party offered her even just today alone.
COOPER: Like what? Like a TV show, or what are you talking about?
STAPLETON: Oh, everything under the sun that you can possibly think of.
Sound familiar?
COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: I’ve read most of them, with a great appreciation for the press, for the media
COURIC: Like what ones specifically, I’m curious…?
PALIN: Uh, any of them - all of them - that have been in front of me over all these years.
Disney x Dali: “Destino”
A collaboration between these two titans, which began in 1946, was completed in 1999, some 50 years later, by Disney’s nephew Roy Edward Disney, using the original storyboards as well as notes taken from the journals kept by Dali’s widow.
Disney and Dali’s original work — a mere 18 seconds of test footage — can be seen starting around 5:17.
As evinced by the copyright notice at the start of the short, this incredible slice of history may not be with us for much longer, so dawdle at your own risk.

Like Fantasia for grown ups. Women haven’t moved with that kind of abandon in Disney animation in forever. How did Disney go from that to the Disney of today?
The original footage is dramatically different from the rest of the piece, but it’s still fascinating to watch.
“Her statement was incoherent, bizarre and juvenile. The text, as posted on Gov. Palin’s official website, uses 2,549 words and 18 exclamation points. Lincoln freed the slaves with 719 words and nary an exclamation; Mr. Jefferson declared our independence in 1,322 words and, again, no exclamation points. Nixon resigned the presidency in 1,796 words — still no exclamation points. Gov. Palin capitalized words at random – whole words, like “TO,” “HELP,” and “AND,” and the first letter of “Troops.”

White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs gets destroyed by Chip Reid of CBS and Helen Thomas of Hearst News Service about the faux transparency of the govt. He should get fired for his poor smirky response.

Can you imagine the chaos of a truly open forum? Where anyone can walk off the street and ask any question? I’d pay to see that! “Mr. President, when are you going to announce the presence of UFOs at Area 51?”
Well wait, did people have to submit questions for the town halls during the campaign? The thing he’s best at is handling himself in front of a crowd..
Why on earth would Gibbs be fired for his performance? That seemed like pretty standard fare from a White House press secretary. Whether the administration was right or wrong, he didn’t really have much to say on the topic, beyond the obvious, and just humored the press until he could get past it.
The press was just doing their job as well. And I’m glad they did. Hopefully, they’ll keep doing it. Mostly importantly, we’ll keep posting videos of them actually doing their job. This is how it’s supposed to work.
