In an interview, former Alaska governor and vice president candidate Sarah Palin declared her support of America's ally, North Korea.
She really should check her facts before she writes them on her palms.

Lead by Example
With all the talk about sexual molestation at the nation's airports, by TSA agents, in recent days, it is convenient for the country's leaders to say that such invasive techniques are required to secure the nation's airways from potential acts of terrorism, while at the same time enjoying the freedom to travel around the world molestation-free on the taxpayers' dollar.
It's kind of a kick in the balls. (Pardon the pun.)
I think it would go a long way to diffuse this unfortunate situation we find ourselves in tonight. The TSA should make a video showing the President of the United States undergoing the same invasive pat-down that American fliers are currently being subjected to in airports across the country. It is not a way to degrade the office of the president, but it is a way to show that we sometimes have to lead by example rather than hollow words.
In addition to the president, perhaps the Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Homeland Security, and the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) can get in on the action, too. They can demonstrate to the nation exactly what the pat downs entail and what its ultimate function is.
Although many people object, personally, I would elect to go through the body imaging equipment. While it is completely invasive, the person who is viewing the image of my naked body is not even at the airport; thus, he/she cannot see what I look like off of the body imaging software. I think this is a less invasive method of getting through airport security and onto your flight!
I'm just saying!

US Postal Service delivers debt
The United States Postal Service has delivered well on its debt for the fiscal year ending on September 30. The USPS lost more than $8 billion dollars, which is grossly more than it did last year during the same time.
The USPS credits lower volumes in mail as one reason it is losing money. I credit its own self-importance as another reason.
Recently, I mailed a package to an address in California. I told the postal guy I wanted to send it as cheap as it would go. I was in no hurry. He told me it would be $16.70! I almost laid down and died right there on the floor. I know that California is 2,000 miles from where I live, but let's get real.
I declined the USPS service and selected UPS. UPS can deliver the same package in two days, instead of seven days, for half the cost. Why does the USPS think it is so invincible and needed? It better face that fact before it is too late.

Morons in Kentucky
Who in their right mind would vote for Rand Paul?
He has already been declared the winner of Kentucky's Senate seat by the major networks. I'll just go ahead and say it, "What the fuck!"
