Fox News is Somewhat Biased

GOP spent $150,000 in donations on Palin's look


WASHINGTON – When the Republican Party decided to coordinate expenses with John McCain's presidential campaign, who knew it would be color coordinated.

The Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 on clothing, hair styling, makeup and other "campaign accessories" in September for the McCain campaign after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the ticket as his running mate.

The RNC now says the clothes belong to the party committee while the McCain campaign says the clothing will go to a "charitable purpose" after the campaign.

The expenses include $75,062 spent at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis and $41,850 in St. Louis in early September. The committee also reported spending $4,100 for makeup and hair consulting. The expenses were first reported by Politico.com.

The RNC also spent $4,902 at Atelier, a stylish men's clothing store in New York. Other purchases included a $92 romper and matching hat with ears for Palin's baby, Trig, at Pacifier, a baby store in Minneapolis.

Wing Witthuhn, who owns the store with her husband, said a young staffer with an RNC credit card purchased the clothes during the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. Trig wore the romper the night Palin addressed the convention.

Biologists: Every polar bear in Alaska will be gone by 2050 Sarah Palin: So?


Biologists from the US Geological Survey have warned that if current climate trends continue, every polar bear in Alaska will be gone by 2050. But Gov Palin has no truck with this.

When the Bush administration announced its decision, in May this year, to list the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, Palin filed a lawsuit to reverse the decision, insisting it was a "wrong move" to protect polar bears.

Writing in an open-ed piece for the New York Times, she said that these "magnificent, cuddly white bears are doing just fine and don't need our protection. If the ice melts, they'll adapt to living on the land."

Given that polar bears have shown little ability to feed on land, scientists were generally unimpressed by her argument.

September's 4chan Trifecta

Tom Cruise proves to Oprah that his scientology power is well over 9,000.


This month's 4chan shens are cracking me the fuck up.

First, someone hacked and posted the password to Sarah Palin's email on the 4chan message board. Then, 4chan affiliates "Anonymous" protested Scientology outside of Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on the opening night of "All My Sons" starring Katie Holmes.

But September's coup de grĂ¢ce was last week when a poster on Oprah Winfrey's message board dropped an obvious chan-bomb that Oprah mistakenly read on air. From Oprah's mouth came this:

"Let me read you something that was posted on our message board from someone who claims to be a member of a known pedophile network. It said this, 'He does not forgive, he does not forget. His group has over 9000 penises, and they’re all raping children.' "

In case you don't already know, what makes this so funny is that one of the many catch-phrases of 4chan's "Anonymous" group is, "We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget.". The 4chanism "over 9,000" was derived from the Japanese cartoon DragonBall Z. Anime nerds use it to describe their vast greatness (like Nigel Tufnel's amp that goes to 11).

Heh heh... Oprah said "over 9,000 penises".
