- Sarah Palin had the original idea to drop the “e” from Flickr

- Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North

- Sarah Palin’s image already appears on the newer nickels

- Death once had a near-Sarah Palin experience

- In the original version, He-Man had the power of Sarah Palin, but the writers felt this would make him way too powerful

- Sarah Palin’s finishing move in the VP debate will be pulling Biden’s still beating heart from his chest & taking a bite

- Sarah Palin’s son is going to Iraq after the Surge, because a Palin during the Surge would have been unfair

Sorry.. not funny to me.

Nor would a similar thing if it was Biden.

These type of things just fuel the 'joke' that this election has become, rather than taking the candidates and issues seriously.

Just MHO..

Yeah, I gotta agree with Penny.

And joking about anyone's son going to Iraq isn't funny in any context.....

Wow, it's just a play off of Chuck Norris facts. Have you never heard of those?

Can't say that I have. I know that there's a lot of humor around "Chuck", and some stuff I've seen with commercials are worth a chuckle or two.

I'm just pretty sick and tired of the political attacks/humor on either side of the ticket.

Check it out... http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/

I think you'll find them funny. And that is where Palin Facts comes from. It's been done to other public figures.

Some examples...

- If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

- There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

- Apple pays Chuck Norris 99 cents every time he listens to a song.

- Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open.

I'm Canadian, not even eligible to vote, a woman and 100% with Penny and Jen.

I do find the Chuck Norris stuff amusing, but like Penny I guess I'm pretty sick of the candidates being either bashed or turned into cartoon characters... It's gotten very old for me. I don't mean to come down on you so hard; I know you're trying to lighten it up and be funny, but 'fraid you struck a chord....

Yep.

I can laugh at those. Cause I'm not voting for Chuck for public office.

Sarah Palin knows where Jimmy's shaker of salt is.

I think they are funny simply because there is no way to take that seriously. Even the last one about her son going to Iraq is worded in a very exaggerated way. None of them are meant as insulting.

It's too bad there wasn't equal distaste voiced at this thread which, although I see the humor, I find to be more far more insulting because it's real criticism poorly veiled under sarcasm.

Hopefully next week we'll get some A material. Oh, the schedule thread is funnier because it fits the stereotypes or problems of each party. it's hard to attack someone with humor when most of the audience isn't familiar with the target.

I've never even opened that thread because I didn't want to read about the DNC. I opened this one because I thought it might actually have some facts about the candidate..... If it had been in the Jokes section (where it probably belonged) I wouldn't have opened it....

I sense a few people getting sh*t-face SCARED.
And it's not just the dump-truck looking fems who, if they had their way, would have a law on the books FORBIDING anyone to look that good, be that smart, or be that bold, that are scared, it's the girly-men too.
I laugh like hell at their fears, but, at the same time, I myself am scared because these people are ALLOWED to vote.
But, as unfamiliar as people may be with this dynamite lady in 2008, they'll have plenty of time to get to find out more about her-not that they need to, she's good and she's smart, but no matter. In the next four years everyone will be increasingly familiar with her, because, no matter what happens in November, she WILL be the Republican nominee in 2012.

Mark it down. 9/4/2008.
You heard it here first.

Oh... I'm not scared because we've got Joe Biden. Joe Biden keeps his friends close and his enemies closer. Close enough to drop them with one round house kick to the face. Joe Biden brushes his teeth with a mixture of iron shavings, industrial paint remover, and wood-grain alcohol. Joe Biden's version of a "chocolate milkshake" is a raw porterhouse wrapped around ten Hershey bars, and doused in diesel fuel.
