I prefer coffee

NPR was reporting on the movements of political figures already gearing up for the next presidential election. Among them, Sarah Palin. You betcha. At a recent convention with her not at all racist teabaggers, she gave her usual contradictory comments on how she was a firm believer in the US Constitution and yet we should all consider bringing "divine intervention" back into government. Does anyone remember that little bit on separation of church and state? It's one of my favorite parts. She also said a lot of stuff that amounted to gilded nothingness.

"Aargh!" I shouted, "How can anyone follow her? She is so...gimmicky (that's just the tip of the iceberg)!"

"Well," said my dear partner, "she did give away caribou jerky at the last convention. That sounds wonderful." On a side note, Odysseus was right about men being slave to nothing save their stomachs. Forget espionage and blackmail; the key to world domination is through the belly.

Jezebel has introduced the Sarah Palin drinking game. Take a shot at the mention of the following words and you will be feeling no pain at the end of Palin's speech:

• Alaska
• Ya know
• Also
• Real Americans
• Freedom
• Socialism
• Hard workin'
• Gosh
• Hockey mom
• Taxpayers
• Big government
• You betcha
• Founding Fathers
• Revolution
• Change
