Has anyone ever seen them both in the same place at the same time?
Tina Fey
It would be funny if she spoofed Tina Fey.
Hard to spoof someone who spoofs you with your exact words
Did you miss that aspect of Tina's spoofing?
That's what makes it so devastating, especially to those who haven't drunk the Palin-ade that their pastors, radio shock jocks and right wing pundits have been serving up.

It would be funny if she spoofed Tina Fey.
Tha would be an insult to Tina Fey.
She already
She already did:
This shows her going into complete coached talking point dump mode. Expect more tonight.
Follow the public not the pundits
Many pundits thought McCain won, or that it was a draw (leading to an un-earned Obama squeaker)
But polls showed most people thought Obama won decisively.
After tonights debate, many pundits will think Palin won simply because her head didn't explode. But that's just because they take their own media spin so seriously that their heads are up their asses.
I'll bet you the polls show Palin looses unless she shows herself to be more competent than Biden, or unless Biden comes off like an elitist prick (i.e. Gore, Kerry).
The chances of her appearing more competent than Biden are nil.
The chances of Biden coming off like an elitist prick are also pretty low. He makes gaffes, but not THAT kind of gaffe.
This one is Biden's to loose, not the other way around.
Since the Couric disaster. most people are looking for the chinks in Palin's armor, not Biden's.
Short of a miracle, they will find them.

Liberal eggheads point to
Liberal eggheads point to this clip of Palin as proof that she can be "articulate, poised and confident."
Perhaps I'm blinded by PDS, but other than the absence of the deer in the headlights look, I'm not seeing it. Or hearing it...it's the same nonsensical mishmash of happy talk and non sequiturs.
"Articulate, poised and confident".
Translated into Earthling means
"rehearsed, delusional, and arrogant".
Honestly? I hope she breaks a nail.
As always...
As always it will depend on who's watching.
There will always be the intellectually challenged that see and hear only what they wish to see and hear.
She could fall face first into oblivion and the FOX types will declare her the winner.
She, in reality, will make a complete fool of herself which is what we will see because we don't have our heads up our asses.
Fact is, unless she says something along the lines of "Bomb Trinidad", she will come out the clear loser but will get a bounce just by hanging in there against a man. Not to mention a man that has decades of experience in political debate.
In the eyes of the non-internet-pundit public, this is Biden's debate to lose, not Palin's to win. Biden would do well to focus on the moderator's questions and avoid direct exchanges with Palin.
The Goppers will just call him a bully if he climbs her tree and it will generate sympathy for her.
Like McLame, Palin is the kind of person that will hang them self if provided with enough rope.
I agree Kona...
on most of your points, but Biden cannot afford to completely ignore her. McCain refused to even look at Obama and that made him look really, really bad. Biden must address Palin directly, but not jump her like a mugger. He should respectfully disagree with her talking points and then say, "and here's why..." But he has got to look her in the eye and answer her points.
McCain not looking once at Obama or speaking to him directly looked like he was either a) scared shitless or b) totally disrespecting his opponent which gives the lie to the phrase "my worthy (respected...esteemed...insert your favorite adjective here) opponent" every time he utters it. Don't let Palin get away with untruths, but be respectful so that they can't whine afterward that he was being mean to her.

Hi sweetie!
Good to see ya again. :)
I understand, I'm not saying just flat ignore her. I'm saying he shouldn't get into direct, heated exchanges with her due to my belief that they'll have her ready to play the boo hoo card much the way Hillary played it during the primary. It gained her a lot of sympathy from the hopelessly gullible.
Regardless of what really transpires, this debate will definitely be the entertainment apex of the election.
I have popcorn, beer and a joint of Mango the size of Cheney's hunting rifle. I'm ready.
It's weird. If you cock your
It's weird. If you cock your head a certain way and squint real hard, there is a certain appeal in that kind of postmodern rambling. It's less like bullshitting than free association. Privacy's a good thing, right? But babykilling...no way.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, this could really get her in trouble though. If anti-choice wingnuts know anything, it's abortion case law.
I'm inclined to give her a
I'm inclined to give her a little leeway regarding the not naming any cases gaffe, as I'm not immune to blanking out when asked to rattle off a list of names out of the clear blue. But that omission, coupled with her rambling thoughts above and the privacy no-no really makes me wonder if she follows any of the Supreme Court's decisions.
Is this another incurious George Bush in moose's clothing?

I'd rather be cycling.
Hell, you'd think she could
Hell, you'd think she could at least have come up with the Exxon Valdez damages case. I'm assuming she disagrees with SCOTUS on that one.
I think her ignorance on many things is so profound and her head has been stuffed so full of talking pts that now she can't even remember the stuff she DOES know.
She opposed the decision before she forgot about it
As governor, she came out against the Valdez case.
As candidate, she doesn't even remember it. So much for hoping that she'd be our hedge against McCain's future dementia.
Or is that current dementia?
As Josh notes, Palin says she believes there's a right to privacy in the Constitution. Either that, or she doesn't what the hell she's talking about.
Brian A.
I'd rather be cycling.
She doesn't know what she
She doesn't know what she talking about. The Roe decision was based a lot on the privacy right that most conservatives don't think exists.
I guess we will know
I guess we will know Thursday night.
How Palin does will depend,
How Palin does will depend, at least somewhat and maybe a big part, on how bad Biden can make her look.
If he doesn't fall for any of her baits, as Obama nearly fell for some of McCain's, and if he can keep from smiling when she makes a doozy (and that may be harder to do than it sounds), then unless she has been able to not only learn during her latest cram courses, but also to process and articulate the information, she probably won't change any votes based on her knowledge and her ability to present it.
I'm sure her advisers are giving her answers as to bait Biden into making "sexist" responses and making himself look bad, rather than hoping she can reform her image of being about a millimeter deep.
I surrender. The heart of
The heart of Sarah Palin's appeal is --
Wait, did you see that? There! She did it again: wrinkled up her nose in a way that either looks like a sneer or is adorably reminiscent of Samantha from "Bewitched..."
And that smile, that nearly ever-present smile, which either indicates -- oh, dear, here we go again -- that she's sarcastic and dismissive or that she's letting you in on a very clever joke.
People love her so. People hate her so. At the heart of it is the delivery, a style of speaking we'll see again in tomorrow night's debate, a style that reaches past folksy and veers into the territory of -- to hell with it, cue the charges of sexism -- cute.
The confidence is underscored by something Palin does frequently at the ends of her sentences. She sets her lips in forceful line (perfectly captured by Tina Fey in her first "Saturday Night Live" impersonation) as if to communicate that the matter is settled.
If Tina Fey perfectly captures the rhetorical style, then why not - the hell with it - make her vice president?
Oh yes. It's funny how what
Oh yes.
It's funny how what passes for reality is shaped these days, innit? I voted for option B, but how could we possibly have an inkling that her appearance wouldn't be a disaster? How could "exceeded expectations" mean "put together a coherent sentence?" It's simply not possible to become competent by spending three days at the McCain ranch.
Reminds me of that Pierce piece:
And the people who hated him went crazy and the people who loved him defended him. But where were the people who heard this incredible, staggeringly stupid bafflegab, uttered with conscious forethought, and realized that whatever they thought of the man, the president had gotten behind a series of podiums and done everything but drop his drawers and dance the hootchie-koo?
I hear he's writing a book on the theme.
Sorry to interupt this program...
I have never seen the word "innit" in print. I will file that one away for another day.
Thanks Sven.
Now back to the program....
I voted the third, but...
That was basically going to be my comment, Sven, except I can't put werds togethr that gud.
Except does RBC stand for "reality based..."?
I think "expectations" and
I think "expectations" and "disaster" have been redefined so as to be unrecognizable to a citizen of the RBC.
The real question is how many citizens live in the RBC.
I voted for gaffes...
but I'm hoping for disaster.
I think she will barely squeak by and in most people's eyes, because of the lowered expectations, that will be chalked up as a win.
"You can't fix stupid..." ~ Ron White"
"I never said I wasn't a brat..." ~ Talidapali
I think that because of the
I think that because of the format, she will be able to talk her way through it without a significant incident. And unless she does make big mistake, the debate ultimately won't matter much on November 4.

Human rights should dominate elections, say activists
Aquino's regime sees rise in extrajudicial killings
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
February 11, 2013
A national rights group on Monday urged candidates in the country's upcoming election to make human rights the chief issue of their political campaigns. It has also claimed that abuses are on the rise under President Benigno Aquino.
Karapatan said the government has largely failed to curb political violence, and that should be the keynote of the next polls, scheduled for May this year.
"Candidates should speak on the Aquino government's human rights record so the voting public would know where they stand," said Cristina Palabay, secretary general of Karapatan.
She added that a majority of candidates come from rich political clans who have been "directly or indirectly" involved in human rights violations.
"Candidates should first and foremost speak out about the Aquino government's counterinsurgency program, Oplan Bayanihan, which has resulted in gross abuses and human rights violations," she said.
Some 137 incidents of extrajudicial killings, including the murder of Italian missionary Fausto "Pops" Tentorio, have occurred under the program, according to Karapatan, along with 154 cases of attempted murder as of December last year.

EAP is an interactive process in which a licensed mental health practitioner, a credentialed equine professional and suitable equines work together to address psychotherapy goals. Since the 1990s, research on EAP has grown rapidly in the United States of America (USA) and Europe, however research in the South African context is lacking. This descriptive and exploratory research study explored and described the experiences of licensed mental health practitioners and/or credentialed equine specialists who have included EAP within their practise by focusing on the role that equines play within the psychotherapeutic process. The knowledge of this study was derived from a Constructivistic epistemology. Constructivism argues that humans attain and build knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Participants were selected based on purposeful criterion sampling. Only licensed mental health practitioners or credentialed equine specialists who included EAP within their practise, registered at the Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Institute of South Africa (EAPISA) or the Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) were considered for participation. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with six participants. A post-interview follow-up email was used to gain additional feedback from each participant. Finally, data was analysed using thematic analysis. As EAP is a fairly new modality of therapy within South Africa, the contribution of this study is to add to the growing body of professional EAP literature. Thematic analysis identified seven main themes: shifting dynamics in the therapeutic relationship, setting the scene for storytelling, the equine as an intermediary and therapeutic tool, what the equine sees is what you get, instantaneous but lasting results, variations and similarities in approach and activities, the emotive motives of EAP practitioners. These themes are discussed in relation to the research findings. Findings of this study showed substantial agreement in what the equine brings to the psychotherapeutic session: unique equine attributes, opportunities for metaphorical learning, and relational aspects. The participants demonstrated a consensus in the belief that EAP can be beneficial to a large spectrum of psychotherapeutic populations in South Africa. A recommendation for future research is for larger, international studies that explore the viewpoints of psychotherapists who practice equine therapies in other countries in order to expand the knowledge base and address the competency and standards discussion in the EAP field. Text in English 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Factors associated with the resurgence in HIV incidence among young women presenting at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital Kabongo, Paola Bulungu http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20696 2016-06-28T01:00:17Z 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z Factors associated with the resurgence in HIV incidence among young women presenting at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital Kabongo, Paola Bulungu Previous studies have reported a high prevalence of HIV and AIDS among adolescent girls. It is estimated that there are 5,24 million people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). These estimates would mean that about 2.36 million people living with HIV/AIDS would be young women and girls aged 15-24 years. The latest household survey conducted by the Human Science Research Council (HSRC) revealed that the prevalence of HIV is three to seven fold in girls and young women aged 15-24 than boys and young men (HSRC 2014) This resurgence in HIV incidence is occurring at a time when it is believed the epidemic has reached a plateau following aggressive behavioural, biomedical and structural interventions by the Department of Health, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and civil society in general. A probability sampling method, involving a random selection of elements was used to select 130 young women and girls aged 18-24 presenting at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital by simple random sampling. Data were collected by self-administering questionnaires. High unemployment and greater age-disparity in the relationships were found to have a direct correlation with HIV incidence in the population under study. This study also shows that inconsistent condom use, low rate of medical male circumcision of male partners, coupled with lower HIV counselling and testing than the national average, was associated with new HIV infections, in spite of high level of condom availability, knowledge of HIV issues and an exposure to an array of behavioural change communication interventions.

As affirmation of this growth, both the South African and sport industry experienced tremendous attention and interest during the period 2000 to 2012. Thus, the need for soccer to become formalised, coupled with the increased need for professional management and the implementation of business principles has created an appetite for proper planning and coordination. As a result, strategic planning is becoming indispensable to sport organisations. Organisations that use strategic planning are regarded as being relatively productive, profitable and making better use resources. Large amounts of money are often invested in soccer clubs which renders them prone to huge financial risks if due strategic planning processes and governance structures and processes are not in place. Against this background, this study explored the strategic planning processes of South African Football Association soccer clubs which are at the grassroots level, as these processes inform strategic decision making and growth prospects. A qualitative data collection process in the form of semi-structured interviews was used. A total of 13 club managers (from 12 soccer clubs-two were from one club) participated in the study. Atlas.ti software was used to deductively analyse the data. The findings suggest that the soccer clubs struggle to separate strategic issues from other operational and technical matters, and that soccer clubs generally have low levels of knowledge on strategic planning processes and tools. Recommendations are made to SAFA, government and the private sector to assist grassroots soccer clubs with funding, management training programmes and partnership initiatives. Some of the pressing recommendations are that soccer clubs need to receive education and training in the areas of business management, particularly in the area of strategic management and governance. This can be further accompanied by business coaching and mentoring programmes to ensure that the soccer clubs can be run as professional establishments. 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z Awareness about diabetic retinopathy and retinal screening among female diabetic patients attending the diabetic clinic in a day hospital in Cape Town, South Africa Mkhombe, Nomfundo Fortunate http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20694 2016-06-25T01:00:54Z 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z Awareness about diabetic retinopathy and retinal screening among female diabetic patients attending the diabetic clinic in a day hospital in Cape Town, South Africa Mkhombe, Nomfundo Fortunate A non-experimental quantitative, descriptive and contextual study which sought to examine the level of awareness about Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), and how aware female diabetic patients were about retinal screening as a preventative measure to eye complications and blindness was conducted. The objective of the study was to explore and describe the variables related to the awareness level of female diabetic patients about Diabetic Retinopathy and diabetic retinal screening. A convenient sample of 149 respondents was obtained. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), 13.0 computer software program. Results evidenced a good level of awareness about DR.

Vizada has launched a range of maritime broadband packages integrating Ku-band VSAT and mobile satellite services (MSS), including the newly-launched Vizada XChangeTM. Shipping companies can select the combination of VSAT, MSS hardware and airtime best suited to their needs while being able to upgrade to a higher bandwidth plan or next generation satellite service during or after contract termination.
The packages range from unlimited 256kbps VSAT airtime-only starting at $1,500 per month up to an unlimited 1024kbps VSAT plus MSS airtime and hardware back-up, for a monthly fee of $2,750. Customers can choose between a VSAT antenna from Thrane & Thrane, Vizada's preferred partner, as well as Intellian or Sea Tel, with the Inmarsat FleetBroadband 250 and 500 or Iridium OpenPort service as back up.
Packages are further enhanced with the newly launched Vizada XChangeTM service, seamlessly integrating VSAT, MSS voice and broadband data in one unified network designed to provide access to Vizada SolutionsTM, such as the SkyFile messaging and security suite and Prepaid solutions, hosted via the Vizada teleports.
In order to meet timeframes that suit shipping companies' needs, Vizada offers flexible contractual terms, starting from 12 month commitments. 36 month contracts include vessel lay-up and bandwidth upgrade options while allowing for the best migration path to next generation Ku- or Ka-band service.
The coverage of Vizada's Pharostar VSAT service will be extended in the Indian and Southern Atlantic Oceans in 2011 and 2012 enabling shipping companies to benefit from global Ku-band connectivity. In this way Pharostar connectivity is available on the main shipping routes from Asia to South Africa, overcoming what is considered the main gap in global VSAT coverage.
Available via Vizada's global network of certified service providers, the new global maritime broadband package offers shipping companies the right level of choice flexibly today and in the future.

They Came Together

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
They Came Together is one joke repeated until you're broken down by the giggles. It shouldn't work as well as it does, and wouldn't if it weren't perfectly cast with America's Comedy Sweethearts.
It knows how to mock cliché big things, like jokes about set-dressing and music video montages; it's also wise about small matters, right down to the font and the framing device.
Jan 27, 2014They Came Together is a very fast, often very funny riff on a very tired Hollywood formula.
Most of the jokes land bluntly – "This is a cliché!" – but tight pacing and a killer cast, which also includes Ed Helms and Christopher Meloni, make up for the inconsistent gags.
Thanks to a smart screenplay, direction that perfectly captures the tone of modern rom-coms and two of the most engaging comedic leads working in movies and TV today, "They Came Together" is more entertaining and (in its own insane way) more endearing than two-thirds of the legitimate romantic comedies I've seen over the last two decades.
The film's most engaging character is not actually human: It's Manhattan, of course, a point made repeatedly over that protracted dinner by the voluble lovebirds.
Occasionally very funny, and moderately funny the rest of the time. In mathematical terms that adds up to pretty funny or "funny enough."
There are probably funnier satires out there, but They Came Together is laser accurate in the way it skewers its targets.
What results is chaotic but ultimately focused, bound by an intense devotion to disassembling genre and narrative standards.
Taking pretty much every rom-com trope and distilling it into highly concentrated ridiculousness, Wain's film is both a takedown and a tribute: As with his summer-camp-movie spoof "Wet Hot American Summer," you walk away with a renewed love for the genre.
A lively comic jamboree that's sometimes smarter than it is funny and hits about as often as it misses, but is, on balance, a good deal of fun.
Larky, witty and sometimes even wise, this spoof on every rom-com ever made is less a fully realized film than an extended skit, a series of set pieces that poke gentle and sometimes transgressively crude fun at the tropes of girl-meets-boy that have enchanted and addled audiences for generations.
Poehler and Rudd riff and banter like old marrieds, and make even the cheesiest lines funny, make even the cliched dating montages set to syrupy pop music feel — if not fresh and new — at least funny enough to mock.

I could go on about the paper thin characters, the phoned in acting, and theThis movie sucks on a level I never thought was possible. I could go on about the paper thin characters, the phoned in acting, and the terrible presentation but at the end of the day that's not the key thing to talk about when reviewing a comedy. This movie was not funny. 99% of the humor in this film failed it was ever a joke that feel flat or was just plain stupid and none of it was memorable. For as dumb as something like Movie 43 was at least some of the **** in that movie was memorable and I still remember it. At least it made me laugh. This movie is trying to be a parody of cheesy romance movies but while it is overly cheesy none of it leads to great comedy or satire of the genre and the cheesiness hurts the movie more than it helps it resulting in a movie that is even worse than the films it is trying to satirize. But the biggest sin this movie has made is its lack of lasting appeal. This movie is bland and forgettable with nothing memorable about it. For all the bad movies (specifically comedies like Movie 43) I've seen some of them were memorable and even if its for the wrong reasons I still remember them and their **** This movie on the other hand has none of that. I saw it once, I'll never see it again, come tomorrow I won't remember it and come a week and I'll forget about it. And if there's one thing you don't want people to do is forget about your movie. I'm not going to recommend this film to anybody. I mean I'm not into romantic comedies but this isn't me hating on a genre I don't like this is me hating on a bad movie. So do yourself a favor and don't waste your time with this movie. This is a bad movie that deserves to be ignored and forgotten.… Full Review »

Before watching this movie, you absolutely need to know that this is a parody ofSuch a bizarre movie, I'm really not sure how to rate it. Before watching this movie, you absolutely need to know that this is a parody of romantic comedies. If you're expecting a standard romantic comedy, you're going to be really confused. The movie extremely outwardly and blatantly makes fun of itself throughout. It's very bizarre, but if you know what to expect, it is very funny. I laughed out loud many times...and also yelled things like "what the hell?!?" at the TV several times because weird things kept happening that wouldn't in real life with real people. Characters break the fourth wall making it hard to believe that the characters are real people, so empathy is difficult, so this movie is mainly just for the laughs. It has a fantastic cast with more familiar faces than I could name. Throughout the whole thing, I kept thinking "This really reminds me a lot of Wet Hot American Summer." Afterwards, I looked it up, and yep, I was right, same writer and director....partially the same cast (with lots of other people we all know from assorted sitcoms showing up.) So, if you're a fan of Wet Hot American Summer, like quirky comedies, and like to laugh at the conventions of typical romantic comedies, then the movie is worth watching.… Full Review »

IRELAND: Irish thirst for drink up 41% in decade
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 21 November 2001
Consumption of alcohol in Ireland has increased more than 40% in the last ten years, in contrast to falling sales of alcoholic beverages in most other EU countries.
Anne Hope, a national alcohol advisor at the Department of Health presented the figures at a conference on alcohol policy yesterday.
The Irish Times quoted Hope as saying: "Between 1989 and 1999 alcohol consumption per capita in Ireland increased a massive 41%. Nine EU member states showed a decrease and three other countries showed modest increases of just 5% during the same period."
Between 1989 and 1999 consumption of wine leapt by 300%, cider increased 500% and the amount of beer consumed was up 26%. Meanwhile although spirits sales had fallen between 1992 and 1996, this period was followed by a sharp increase with a million litres of pure alcohol sold each year between 1998 and 2000.
This boom has been attributed to the growing popularity of hard-liquor-based pre-mixed drinks as well as the vodka and Red Bull phenomenon. The overall increase in consumption has coincided with an economic boom in Ireland, which has given people greater spending power.
More worryingly, the report also recorded an increase in assaults and other alcohol-related crime since 1995.

Elected President only to see the nation fracture in two, Lincoln led a confused and frightened people through the most terrible war in their history. At the same time, his own household mirrored the fissures that split the nation: the great emancipator was married to the daughter of a slave owner from Kentucky. Mary Todd Lincoln was an aristocratic southerner who met Lincoln when he was still a backwoods politician lacking in experience and sophistication. Although she remained fiercely loyal to her husband and the Union cause, two of her brothers fought for the South. Their marriage was long and turbulent, and knew many trials, including the loss of two children. Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided weaves together the lives of the two Lincolns, drawing us into their long-vanished world.

It is a very underrated fish and, after years of protection following overfishing, it is great to see it reappearing on menus again. That said, one of the most challenging dishes I have ever eaten is the Dutch "Hollandse Nieuwe." These are the first herring of the season and are sold in raw fillets to be eaten with pickles and raw onions. The taste is not as unpleasant as some other dishes on this list, particularly if the fish is as achingly fresh as it is here. But the locals like to eat their new herring in a particular way, holding them by the tail and lowering them into the mouth like a fishy sword. Untrained in such matters, I gagged up mouthfuls of herring scented vomit in front of the stall from where I bought them. That and the giggles of the locals who witnessed my shame was enough to put me off the things for life.
