Wolf Blitzer is the worse of the bunch on CNN beating Anderson Cooper by a nose. Why claim to be fair when your slant is obviously liberal? Just tell us you're liberal and move on.

Kind of like "Fair and Balanced" Fox News?

I totally agree but I think the discussion was about CNN was it not?

Heh. I was wondering how you got 'Hitler Salute' out of the picture I saw. :D Confirmation bias means that if you're looking for a particular result, you're likely to find it in whatever experiment or statistics or, in this case, picture on a website you're looking at.

Yeah it was, but it can changed based on the content of each post. That's how a message board works, is it not? ;)

a bit of a stretch imo since the photo has her palm up and she clearly looks like she's blowing a kiss.

Well, that's even WORSE! Doesn't she know that's how babies are made?


At least, I think it is. I don't know for sure, 'cause my school didn't teach sex ed. I got a free abstinence pamphlet, tho! :D

BigRedJed

Oh, lawd. Does that mean she's gonna have another baby again? Someone needs to clue her in on the kiss blowing thing.

She's got five kids, so maybe she's not too clear on the concept. :D

Hmmmm...five kids, all with weird names...SARAH PALIN IS A SECRET MORMON!!

Yeah, the weird names were very "compound-like".

I think my bro from anomo already pointed this out, but the original post is a HUGE reach.

I said this in another thread, but regardless of your polileanings, if you go looking for media bias to bitch about you'll find it somewhere.

So she has five kids.

I'm sure if she would have had five abortions, she would be the perfiect liberal dem candidate for anything!

I wish I knew how to copy and then host a photo - I know - I'm as archaic as my father thinking the page printer picture of a pinup was cool...

The photo in question was a picture of her from an angle with her right arm out stretched with her fingers extended and her palms down, a la a nazi salute. Obviously she is waving, as I saw her doing last night. The grab looked like a salute...

I'm sure they just took the "Nazi salute" pic down so they could Photoshop in some swastikas and maybe an adorable little Hitler moustashe on Palin. I mean, if you're the only one who saw "Nazi" in that picture, they obviously need to do some tweaking.

If she was as hot as a younger woman, and I were married to her, she'd have more than 5 kids.

you might try Carbone's Italian Sausage deli at 1221 W 38th. kinda close to downtown and east of 25. Carbone's is great.

when i was working at DU i ate at Jerusalem on Evans a lot.

further south i like Damascus on Colorado south of Evans...the lamb dishes and Syrian sausage are the bomb. homemade pita is really good, too. there used to be an italian deli called Vito's in that general area but maybe further west...i used to go there with gf and load up on prosciutto and olive oil and get a killer deli hoagie too. but, this was 10 years ago....i don't know if it's still there. it was a mom and pop but made Westword best of Denver a couple times.

around here, i've been living off the smothered chil verde burrito at Efrains at 55th (way east of town) and Arapahoe. it's unreal. off the charts good.
