Sarah Palin Pranked

This could be the best thing that happened to the Obama campaign yet.The Masked Avengers of CKOI, Audette and Sebastien Trudel, staged this fake call from ‘Nicolas Sarkozy’ to Palin and she was completely clueless even as they ratcheted up the absurdities. “I wanted to see how (Palin) was on an intellectual level,” Audette said.

Not so much!

Ben Smith of Politico was one of the first to pick this up from The Canadian Press.

A candid peak into how she carries herself with a foreign president will surely make the hairs on the back of  your neck stand on end.

A few highlights:

When she gets on the phone and mistakes the assistant for Sarkozy: “It’s not him yet Bexi, I always do that.”

When discussing hunting, which Audette refers to as his ‘love for killing animals’ Palin replies “We can have a lot of fun together while we’re getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone.” At which point Audette makes a joke about not bringing Cheney and Palin offers up the fact that she is s good shot.

He mentions his special adviser to the U.S. Johnny Hallyday who is actually a french singer and actor, singer Stef Carse as Canada’s prime minister and Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t know any of these guys, or the correct names, but I AM NOT FRIGGIN RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT. After all, can’t she see Canada from Alaska?

Personally, I was thrilled that she did not offer up a Sarah Palin condom.

Ladies Welcome

I was driving up the west side of Manhattan the other day and stopped at a red light somewhere downtown. Yes, this is why I try to always have a camera with me.

I believe the name of the store is ‘Ladies Welcome, Come in and Shop’ but perhaps that is a directive and the store has no name.

The good news is that it is open 24 hours but please, you must be 21 and over.

The best part?

ATM inside.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus (vol. 2)

I have written about this topic before. You can read it here.

I have always been fascinated by the different way men and women perceive things. This morning I woke up agitated from a disturbing dream. Oddly enough, so did Gary. I assume these trying times are getting to both of us.

He has often placed a request for me not to share my dreams (they scare him). Today I did not give him a chance to reject the story, he was still half asleep and emerging from his own bad dream.

Mine? He was forcing me to move to Florida and we were driving down with all our stuff. Then we were in this awful cookie cutter house with all these boxes and strange people we did not know. He was telling me that he was going to change his career, sell windows and I was a bitch for not supporting him. I was sobbing uncontrollably saying that I hate Florida (sorry Floridians, I like to visit).

His? Oh his dream was that 25% of the earth split off and was careening into space. Alrighty then, a science fiction dream.

I laughed and said this would make a perfect blog post.

Gary: You can’t do that, people will think you are crazy.

Me: Wait, you had a dream about a quarter of the earth splitting off and careening through space and you think people will consider me crazy for dreaming about a forced move to Florida?

And there you have it.

Later he said that he was on one piece of the earth and I was on the other. All I could think of was that the only way his subconscious could figure out how to get rid of me was by destroying the planet.

Kinda scary if you ask me. Note to self: sleep with one eye open.
