To-Do List: August 2010

Add Comment

When ubiquitous, quasi-political entity Sarah Palin tossed a crumpled-up piece of paper out the 15th floor hotel suite where she was staying in between one of many paid speaking engagements earlier this week, one of the harrowed journalists who follow her trying to get access to the famously cagey Palin media machine picked it up. He discovered it was a To-Do list written in Sarah Palin's own hand. Unfortunately, it detailed not her upcoming plans, but those that have already passed. Regardless, he decided to publish it. Its entire contents are below, with italicized notes from the journalist.

An Extended Voicemail to Sarah From John Malkovich

Add Comment

Hi, Sarah. It's me, Malkie. I guess you're, um, a little busy at the moment. I totally understand. Since it's not likely I'm going to get a hold of you any time soon, with us both having such intensely busy schedules, I suppose now is as good a time as any to give you some friendly advice I've been meaning to impart to you for some time now. Being a very in-demand celebrity figure, what with my unmistakable voice and irreplaceable presence in film and occasionally on the stage, I'm used to having cameras shoved in my face on a pretty regular basis. It's all part of the territory. You've been in the national media for a few years now, so, um, Sarah, you should know... things were always going to get pretty ugly. You know what I'm talking about. The candid videos. The cell phones with the little video thingies in them. They're so clever, but also quite dangerous. Dangerous for people like me and, um, now you.

Holy Crap, Blago Got Away Clean!

I did this because the animal owed me moneyI did this because the animal owed me moneyWhen I heard that Rod Blagojevich escaped conviction on all but one measly charge, my life changed forever. There are so, so many things I'll finally be able to get off my chest now that I know the system won't throw the book at a famous politician with enough money for good lawyers. Oh, American judicial system, I love you! I love the way you rely on juries full of people who weren't smart or busy enough to get out of sitting in that stupid box all day. I love how you reward the rich for having huge sums of disposable income they can throw at crack legal teams of unscrupulous careerists. I love how you ignore crimes that are commonly known as having factually happened just because of wormy little technicalities. God bless the USA and its corrupt, broken, mostly meaningless sense of justice!

The New Breed Is Scary

Add Comment

Well, Ted Stevens is gone and with him goes the last shred of dignity left in politics, at least in Alaska. Teddy was a real hard-ass, an old-fashioned ball buster who would have made sure the trains ran on time if Alaska ever really went full-bore into the whole mass transit thing. I'm gonna miss the old codger. I mean, not him personally. Nobody liked Ted. He wasn't a likable guy. He ate endangered species and scared children for fun. Everyone in Congress was terrified of him because he once chewed off an intern's face for disagreeing with him. Literally, chewed his face right off with those bizarre, silver-tipped crowns of his. Ted Stevens, a real monster, but our monster. With him gone, the state of American politics is about to teeter right off the edge into some kind of special Hell. A special Hell where Levi Johnston is king.

Bristol and Levi: Big Freaking Surprise

Add Comment

Am I surprised that Bristol and Levi aren't actually getting married? Hell no. I mean, who thought that was going to play out in any way other than how it did? Certainly not me. I may not be the most eloquent speaker or all that politically savvy, but it would take a special class of idiot to believe Alaska's own white trash mascots were bound for a life of nuptial bliss.

Kate's Gonna Get Creamed

Add Comment

A lot of people have heard that Kate Gosselin and her kids are coming up to Alaska to go camping with me and my family. What they don't know is the true reason why Kate is coming north with her vile brood. The real story is that I've got a big bone to pick with that harpy and her stupid hair extensions. If we met on her turf we'd probably get hauled off by the fuzz for something stupid and liberal like "child endangerment". That's why we're gonna be throwing down in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. Even if someone called a ranger, which they probably wouldn't because we settle our problems like warriors in the land of the midnight sun, it'd take the jerk pigs a couple hours to get where we're going. Two vicious hockey moms are going to enter the forest but only one is going to come out. Here's a hint for you gamblers in the room: I've got an appointment the next day I plan on keeping.

I Refudiate The Misappropriate Assaultations Against My Personity

2 Comments

Sometimes I think I should just close down my Twitter account. 140 characters just isn't enough to express my detailed, nuanced points of view. Instead of paying attention to the actual content of my tweets and commenting on the intellectual commentary therein, my detractors have decided to pick apart the artistic license I take with this glorious and ultimately malleable language called English. As I've said before, I take much of my inspiration from William Shakespeare. I, like The Bard, luxuriate in the myriad beauties of this great, international tongue by composing stirring verse tinged with deep-piercing satire and universal humanity. That the people in the media who make sport of my life daily refuse to see that is wee-wee'd up beyond all repair.

Bachmann's Babies Attacked My PAC Office

Add Comment

It was terrible! Just terrible! If I hadn't gone out for my third chai latte that day I might have been killed in a swarm of little miracles! I know it sounds crazy and I know I'm probably going to get some flack from the good people in the pro-life community, but I don't care. I'll say it here and I'll tell it to anyone who asks: Michele Bachmann assaulted the central office of my political action committee with an army of small children and took several of my staff hostage. Oh, God... my mascara is running everywhere.

Elected Office, Shmelected Shmoffice!

Add Comment

There's been a lot of talk in the media lately about whether or not I'm going to ever run for elected office again. The race for the 2012 presidency is just around the corner and there are 47 other US states of which I have yet to be Governor. It seems like they'll give just about anyone a Senate seat these days and no one, I mean no one, pays attention to the House of Representatives. I could get a House seat with no problem and camp out there for decades if I wanted to. But that's the rub, isn't it? Why in blazes would I want to? Let's break it down, shall we?

Hijacked by Keith Olbermann

Add Comment

Is... is this what I think it is? Did I do it? Ha! This is awesome. I totally just hacked into Sarah Palin's diary. I can't believe this. Christmas has come early for the Olber-Man. Look, I don't know how much time I've got here, so I'm gonna have to make this count. Um, oh geez, I'm so nervous. I mean, I'm in front of a national TV camera every single day but this right here is giving me some old-fashioned jitters. It's not every day you get an opportunity like this. Right, just calm down, Keith. You can do this. This is gonna be great.
