Because Sarah Palin Was Made For Drag!

A Few Points:

I. Respect Lady Bunny, she's a legend.

II. According to the credits, the actresses that portrayed the Palins are actually women. Which means Palin is still ripe for the ambitious drag queen!

III. The fat joke was, of course, unnecessary. I'm getting the feeling that Lady Bunny was trying to imply that's what Palin would say about her daughter, not a dig at Bristol actually being "fat", but it seems like a better joke would be "Bristol = The Knocked Up One (So Far!)".

IV. No, I don't support the idea that Loughner was influenced by Palin, particularly the cross-hairs on her website, nor do I think that he was even particularly influenced by her especially. But Palin's behavior regarding the whole deal was disgusting, period, which I believe is the point LB is making/celebrating.

V. Of course, not all Alaskans even tolerate Palin and rightfully resent her speaking for them. We have much wonderful vocal evidence of that. But I think by addressing "Alaska", LB is referring, tongue in cheek, to "Palin's Alaska".

Black Mother Jailed for Sending Kids to White School District

From here:

Kelley Williams-Bolar, a 40-year-old mother of two, was convicted of a felony last week and sent to jail for 10 days. Her crime? Falsifying records so her kids could attend a safer school in the district where her father lives.

The sheer cruelty of the verdict - and the judge’s own admission that Williams-Bolar is being punished to serve as an example for other parents - has created a tidal wave of online support. Sign the Change.org petition today.

In just eight hours, more than 1,000 have signed a Change.org member-created petition to reduce her sentence. Supporters have overtaken Twitter with the hashtag #savekellywilliamsbolar (sic), using http://bit.ly/williamsbolar to link to the petition.
