Pamela Geller

So I go to bed at 3:30 AM, wake up at 7:30, back to bed at 9:30, and get up at 1:30 PM. It’s Saturday, baby! *snoozes*

• Vatican doesn’t understand PR, example #256: Declaring that the “attempted ordination” of women is as horrible as clerical child sex abuse. Or, when “they just don’t get it” becomes the euphemism of the century for these fruitcakes.

• Teabaggers don’t get PR, either: Tea Party leader Mark Williams launches screed against NAACP and “coloreds”. Oy vey.

• PR fail #3: Karl Rove feigns humility for failing to “refute charges that Bush lied [Americans] into war” and “hurt” the US. Reach his prostate yet, Karl?

• On the other hand, maybe the ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act’s gay marriage ban is unconstitutional may have a chance at being upheld by the Supreme Court after all.

• This just in: Pamela “Palin did not quit. The lower 48 needed her and she heeded the call” Geller ^[pictured] is stark raving nuts. However, contrary to what Media Matters argues, this is exactly why she should go on the air – the greater a fool she makes of herself, the better. (Though, a contrary argument could possibly be made regarding the number of whackos who agree with her …)

• Man who was in jail forced to pay tens of thousands in back child support for a son that DNA test proves isn’t his own.

• If your reaction upon learning that your psychotic ex-wife tried to hire a hitman to off you is to say that the most insulting part is how “she was going to pay the hit man so little money”, you may be the coolest (or most cool-headed) person ever.
