Sitting Down to Read Sarah Palin's Christmas Book While I Bake Christmas Cookies for My Family
By the way, I didn’t read the whole thing. Why should I? Lord knows you didn’t write the whole thing.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, ITS AN ENGLISH.
@52 Srsly? You want that image floating around in your brain? Srsly?
@58 Dude, you can just say, "Peace." With the right inflection, it's truly enigmatic. Works year-round, too, although you might get taken for a stoner. Add in a "...my Brother," and you should get an even more interesting reaction.
@71 You should google the definition of "misogynist," you ignorant troll. And, if you expect tolerance from others, you should learn how to practice it yourself first. But don't expect agreement. No one has to agree with anyone else. That's the very nature of freedom. 'Tis a pity your crowd doesn't understand that.
Peace, all my brothers and sisters and OPOTGS!
I'm reading about you in Jared Diamond's latest right now.
Then you go and warm the cockles of my frozen heart.
What can I say, I love you guys.
It's 2013. It's a whole new age.
I'm a liberal 43-year-old woman who has proudly raised a daughter who loves Christmas to it's absolute traditional core. The tree, the decorating, the family time and wrapping gifts with custom-made bows, the music and even Christmas caroling which she attempts to do with her friends... all of it. We believe in Santa in our house and there are still gifts from him under the tree Christmas morning. She was the room mate at college that decorated the room and bought stockings for all her friends. She's going to a party this weekend where she and her friends are making their own Christmas album... and ever year since she could plan her own parties, she has her own in the days following the 25th. God, my girl loves and honors Christmas.
Except for the Christ part. LOL
My husband and I raised her "religion-free" with the thought she would choose what she wants to believe when she grows up. I'm closer to a Buddhist than anything else, and her dad is a recovering catholic.
And my daughter, well she wears a star of David and has decided she wants to be Jewish. She plans to officially convert at some point. However, she insists she will be a Christmas-celebrating Jew... and I'm convinced my very modern, feminist, pan-sexual daughter is going to revolutionize the world and start her own religion.
I'm proud of her. I've raised her to be strong and socially conscious. She's part of what I call "The Big Gay Club" at college, or more accurately, the Gay-Straight alliance (LGBT) club. She cheers and spreads the news when gay marriage is legalized in yet another state. She's outraged when there is news of persecution. She wants to be a writer and her concentration in college is Gender Studies. She gave her final speech in public speaking class on transgender issues and she gives Safe Space training on campus to professors and staff so her college can officially become a Safe Space for the LGBT community.
She's quirky and smart, she's proactive and socially aware. She's compassionate and kind and cares so much about others. She wants the world to change for gay and transgender folks and she's the good jew I apparently raised who wants to celebrate Christmas in the biggest way possible.
So enjoy that tidbit Dan, and we'll hope that Sarah Palin chokes on it.
:D
But it's nice she was able to give ol' Dan an opportunity to work up some mocking hate during this season of hate.
Do you actually believe the story of Sandy Hook is true???
Merry Christmas.
Ummmm yeah... "or Sarah Palin is a shit-talking pimp who makes money playing to the carefully cultivated persecution complexes of conservative Christian rubes who wouldn't know what religious persecution was if it sat on their faces and shit in their mouths."
Stupid people like to reinforce their stupidity. It's a badge of honor, like really fake looking tits.... "do you know how much my husband paid for these?" The monthly payment, or total?
Merry Chrismas to Sarah Palin, may she be inspired by the baby Jesus, whose name inspired the holiday, and quit hating Hate is so Satanic of her. Jesus wasn't a a narcissist, but Sarah Palin only wants to be "christ"-like to anger people... just like Jesus.... right?
@15: I feel the same. The joy of expressing seasons greetings of any kind has been taken away as we all overthink it now.
Happy Holidays
I doubt that Palin even knows Christmas is a pagan holiday (Saturnalia - the Roman feast honoring the god Saturn) railroaded by Christians. There is substantial biblical evidence that Jesus was born in September. At the very least, the early Christian calendar was different than our modern calendar, placing Jesus' birth on January 6.
Nor does expecting people who didn't study mythology (Brought to you by McDonald's) to know inane stories from eons back do you much good.
Merry Christmas, from the bottom of my frozen heart.
I mean, since you're running with the premise he existed and all.
Pshah.
Maybe it's time you began mythologizing.
It's for your own good.

I did a (more serious) review and takedown of the book, below. And, BTW, Sarah gave us recipes. Perhaps you'd like to do the same for your snowball cookies?

UPS and FedEx drivers, for obvious reasons.
The Australian sign for "Holiday" is not what you described. The deaf down under are collectively going WUT.

CORRECTION: sign #2 of 3 signs is exactly as was described in #12. My mistake.
Sign #3 of 3 is pretty choice too: kinda like on Sprockets when Dieter says "Now I am happy as a little girl!"
My birthday, your birthday, his birthday, Father's day, National dick sucking day, National Wet Ball sack day, and National Saxophone day, among others.
Happy holidays to you, sir.
After all I woouldn't vote for a politician who
says " we have to pass the bill to see whats in it" intelligent nancyP.
Or
" once they ( illegal Immigrants) are here its their home too" Stupid patty murray.
Why all the baised reporting ???
and Michelle Bachman- absolutely HOT.
Republicans- have hot women
Democrats- ugly women or same sex partners
EWWWWWWW!!!!
Dan, her rack is as fake as every other Palinese myth. It's water bras. The rack comes and goes in a matter of days.
Has anybody ever seen her showing some skin there ? Never ; while her legs, we've amply seen them, and more of them that we evr wanted. Why the breast shyness ? Because there's nothing but deceiving garnment there. She's faked a pregnancy, she's faking a rack, nothing out of her habits there.

What is not a myth though, is that her daughter's waistline has several times expanded until it can't be hidden any more, and the daughter has reemerged months later with a "godson" baby in tow. But the only acknowledged Palin grandson is the one from the RNC.

Wow, betting that Sarah Palin knows something besides pulling money out of her followers' pockets is really taking a turn on the wild side there !
Just remember that Paul Revere debacle. And "in what respect, Charlie ?"
Congratulations on finding the perfect cesspool.

He evidently was signing in Australian Sign Language but when you said ASL, and since this is an American blog, it's kind of confusing. It implied that he was signing American Sign Language and just adapting it to Australia's deaf community, and that American Sign Language is somehow universal and can be adapted to Australia's deaf community, which it can't. There are no universal sign languages. All of the English-speaking countries have their own signed language. The U.S. and Canada share ASL but the UK/Ireland, Australia and South Africa have their own uniques sign languages. The same goes for the many Spanish-speaking countries of the world, or any country, for that matter.
I don't believe you would know what a moron is if you found one in the mirror.
Could you use this in a sentence, please?
"I am a post-scientific individual."
Just to be safe.
Indeterminate.. things..
Of no particular color..
Or physical presence..
Or biological logic..
Blurs?
Does that work?
peace out my blurs.

'tidings of comfort & joy'
it makes me smile.
We know you are Dan. But it gets better.

Merry Christmas. I don't mean that in an offensive way, just in the spirit that I hope you can find happiness. That's all anyone has ever meant with Merry Christmas, and to discard the sentiment because you hate someone is the saddest thing of all.
What's the matter? Obamacare such an obvious failure that you have to jump on this as if it is a manufactured controversy? Ignore the strong atheist and pagan double teaming people have been doing since the '90s trying to "educate" the public that Christmas is just a retooled pagan holiday —and most are so ignorant they mistakenly think it is a retooling of Saturnalia— and it is offensive to non-Christians and so no one should say, "Merry Christmas."
That you pathetic excuses for human beings think you are somehow sticking it to the man by either refusing or continuing to use the phrase, "Merry Christmas," just shows how absolutely delusional you are. You are sticking it to no one. Use the phrase, or don't use the phrase as you will, the vast majority of the US, much less the world, will not care two shits either way. What people will judge you on is your character, and so far the only rational judgment is that you all are whiny children who somehow inhabit the bodies of adults.
