Snarky Sister Sarah Strikes Again!

Actually, I HAVE seen highlights on CNN and on HLN, on Joy's show as well as on MSNBC. I have no problem with travel or outdoor shows, but why is Alaska "Sarah Palin"s" anyway...lol? Maybe she COULD have pulled it off if she hadn't QUIT halfway through her term as governor...just a thought. Seriously, Michelle Obama didn't propose a ban on bake sales. Sarah doesn't give two shyttes about the truth either, does she? http://mediamatters.org/research/201012220006 Annie

"Actually, I HAVE seen highlights on CNN and on HLN, on Joy's show" I'm not surprised the most un-aptly named women in talk show history is doing it either. CNN and HLN are the same news network. Either way....big deal. There really isn't much to run. It amounts to a few seconds out of hours of programming. "but why is Alaska "Sarah Palin"s" anyway...lol?" The show's title is "Sarah Palin's Alaska"....in other words "Alaska , as seen through the eyes of.." Eesh, seriously, now you're really grasping at straws. It's basically her and her family traveling around Alaska, showing off it's attractions, highlighting some of it's industries and it's people and their way of life. With the exception that it is more remote and wild...it reminds me of home. The people and way of life there seem very much like where I live. Maybe you should watch it annie. Maybe then you might realize there are people and ways of life out there that exist outside your comfort zone and your definition of society. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than exist in your philosophy" ~Shakespeare "Seriously, Michelle Obama didn't propose a ban on bake sales" I took liberties....I know she didn't really literally propose a ban on bake sales, I should have gotten you a sarcasm detector for Christmas. HOWEVER....I'll see your media-matters... and raise you an Associated Press: http://hosted2.ap.org/APDefault/8ef5320729ce4298abefc1903704c7d5/Article_2010-12-03-US-Bake-Sales/id-5321294162324cd7b0928fbd842f85c2

Oh yes, they can limit bake sales and the language in the bill is so broad that they could even ban them altogether. The legislation would apply to all foods sold in schools during regular class hours, including in the cafeteria line, vending machines and at fundraisers.

thank you so much.

sarah's right. what business does the government have in suggesting healthy foods for our kids while they're in school? a pretty subversive action, if you ask me. and encouraging exercise! you would think that there's a problem with obesity in this country. sarah appears to be anti-anything that gets her press coverage. would it kill her conservative values if she agreed that schools should exercise some judgement in the foods they provide our kids? wouldn't sell as many books or feed her followers appetites for dumb.

Mike Huckabee, hardly someone one would expect to be a huge fan of Michelle's, came to her defense and pretty much put Sister Sarah in her place. Huckabee had his own weight issues and knew he was risking some serious health problems so he changed his lifestyle and eating habits. He knows it's really in everyone's best interests to eat healthier diets and exercise more. Neither he nor the First Lady can make anyone skip dessert or stop going to Mickey D's but I sure see no problem with some good common sense advice. I thought Sarah was all for "common sense". Annie

Personally I never saw it as an attack, but rather a light joke. I make jokes about San Francisco every time my wife buys a happy meal. The difference is, there is no camera and no army of hate-filled morons out there just waiting to pounce on me for such comments. FYI, I'm not calling either of you that, but you are both well aware of the sites dedicated to spreading hatred towards Sarah Palin. "I sure see no problem with some good common sense advice" Yes and that advice could be given through classes that teach children about eating healthy and getting exercise. Sadly, any such classes have been canceled in most school districts because math, science, and reading have somehow become a bigger priority than having a functional heart or the strength necessary to do more than 1 pull-up. So no Annie, none of what is going on right now is advice, it's typical nanny-state crap so the government can raise our kids for us.

"I thought Sarah was all for "common sense" And it is basic inescapable truth that you cannot legislate common sense in to existence.

"promote the general Welfare"

You're CERTAINLY not accusing ME of being snarky, are you...lol? Seriously, in a way I'd LOVE for her to just go away but I'll be honest, I'd love it MORE if she were to be the GOP Presidential nominee in 2012. I'd have to invest in earplugs or just press the mute button and turn on the CC whenever she came on the air, but it would sure be a blast and a guaran-damn-teed win for the Democrats. Annie

Read the Preamble to the Constitution. "promote the general Welfare" is part of it. I'd say providing healthy school lunches would fall under that category.

I know, between that high-pitched screech of hers, her irritating way of tryin' to sound like she THINKS ordinary people talk - you betcha - and the way she meanders from one thing to another in a single sentence and makes no sense whatsoever, the very thought of listening to her for an entire Presidential campaign as long as the last one makes me cringe. Doncha know she'll make the sacrifice if the American people think she's the only one that can do the job...lol! Annie

If I hear Obama use the word "folks" one more time my ears will bleed.

Nicely put Annie! Have a wonderful Holiday! See you in the "Arena" once again next year! Hugs, Opal

Hey, we're discussing Sarah Palin and you're worried about a very simple typo...lol? I wonder if she spell-checks her hands? Annie

...well talk about spelling...idiotic...looks much better "o) The pot has to be careful.

....Hi annie, I corrected it because it was ironic that I was saying in the comment that she couldn't spell and I messed up the word. I could hear her patrons shouting look who is criticising someone's spelling, one in particular. So la vie. Have a great day. Cheers.

Ted, it really isn't "venom" I have against her. Nor is it hatred, fear or jealousy. I'm not even, as another poster said, fascinated by her, or at least I don't think I am...lol! I am, however, fascinated by the way Sarah Palin brings out such passion in those who adore her. I find it both amusing and amazing! I sure can't speak for the rest of the left, meaning I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I really don't see the kinds of reactions from the left that they're always being accused of by the right, or more precisely by Sarah's fans. Has anyone SAID they wish she were raped or murdered that you're aware of for sure, Ted? If they have, they're despicable and I mean that. What I DO see a lot of is people like myself who simply can't figure out why anyone would possibly take her seriously as a candidate for ANYTHING or even as a political analyst. Also, many of us wonder what makes HER think she should be taken seriously. I guess I should at least try to answer your first question since you took the time to respond and to ask it; I suppose it was offensive when Sarah made a "joke" about the First Lady because it was meant to offend. Late night comedy hosts are able to make jokes about public figures and then graciously interview them days later but I can't quite imagine Sarah EVER being gracious to Michelle, can you? Annie

Most Americans know the difference between encouraging healthier choices and telling them what their children can and can't eat but apparently Sarah doesn't. Annie

I get it - it's that slippery slope that only slopes to the left...lol! If schools stop having vending machines selling soda and all kinds of junk food it won't be long before McDonald's and the other few thousand fast food restaurants will all be closed down! Taskr, I know you're a lot younger than me, but believe it or not, when I was in school there were no soda, candy or chip machines in the cafeteria or anywhere in the school. There were milk machines and one that sold ice cream bars and sandwiches and that was it. That was in the high school; there were no vending machines in the elementary schools. We had a pre-selected menu for lunch each day and that's what we got. There were no choices such as pizza or french fries every day. Nobody complained because that's just the way it was. I happen to agree with you about kids spending too much time sitting on their butts, by the way! Annie

That "encouragement" is designed to lead into crap like banning salt, happy meals, fast food restaurants, and other crap being pushed by the far left. Michelle Obama has clearly been pushing to BAN vending machines and various foods from schools. That's not "encouragement" by any stretch of the imagination. Of course none of it addresses the real problem which is how much time kids spend sitting on their butts instead of exercising.
