Sarah Palin's Not The Only One Burned by the C.B. Radio
CB Radio Setup
I have to admit that, while coming of age and being a man in the 1970s, I engaged in some rather unsavory behavior. I wrecked a lot of women. I slept with a lot of sports cars. I ate a lot of meat. I talked on the C.B. radio.
Father became enamored the the C.B. radio when he discovered that, relatively cheaply, he could put a C.B. radio inside of the cab of each of the riot control vehicles we were selling and turn, through the miracle of communications, six vehicles into a coordinated, powerful, crowd-flattening juggernaut.
That meant that all of us boys, and my sister Diedre, had to learn how to properly enter a C.B. radio network, use the appropriate 10-whatever codes, and properly leave the network by signing off. For example, for me to call up Father and tell him that the transmission was out on one of our R-362 Crowd Sweeper vehicles, I would have to ask for permission to enter the net. I would have to say something like,
10-41 [radio test], this is Sugar Foot, over (Sugar Foot was my “handle”).
Father would reply,
10-4, Sugar Foot, this is Tater Tot (Father’s “handle”). 10-67(prepare to copy message), 10-8 (stand by).
An hour or so would go by. I’d do a 10-41 again, and then Father would wake up and holler at me in the clear.
These lengthy harangues in the clear, abandoning all pretense of using 10 signals, would inevitably end up being recorded by HAM radio operators all over the Northeastern United States. For years, during the 1980s, Father’s lengthy diatribes were handed around at trade shows and exchanged via mailing lists. He is widely credited with inventing the words “Fuck Stick” and “Pigeon Fucking Toad.”
I can certainly see how this exact same thing could have happened to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin:
[…] a few years later the young Sarah became enamored of Todd Palin, a quiet boy who’d moved to town to play basketball at the high school. He drove Sarah to practice. He owned both a car and a truck. He was polite. Her family approved. All was great.
But with four teenagers in the Heath household, calls to members of the opposite sex on their single phone line were banned. Sarah and Todd found a way around this when they discovered that if they stood on their respective back porches they could talk to each other on the VHF radios he used on his fishing boat in the summer.
They talked that way for months – until they discovered that the commercial trucks barreling through towns could hear them.
Instead of love, I experienced nothing but abuse on the C.B. radio. And, just like poor Miss Palin, the haters were listening and recording my conversations. Somewhere, those love notes over the open frequencies were recorded by horny truckers, and put on cassette tapes, and filed away. For her sake, I hope they don’t pop up at the next Republican National Convention.
I have a blog, and God, I love my blog. I love it MORE than my children, sir. As God as my witness, yes, yes I do...
Scenes from Palin Book Signings
From Colombus, OH:
On November 20, 2009, at a Borders bookstore in Columbus, Ohio, Sarah Palin held a book signing event in support of "Going Rogue". Palin's supporters wanted her to run for the presidency, but they weren't exactly sure what she'd do as president. Short on specifics, most of them were uncertain what her policy positions are. They just felt that they liked her. She's "real". And that the solution to all of our country's problems—health care, energy, the deficit, unemployment, and the economy—was to cut taxes and lower spending, and Palin, they said, would solve them by doing just that.
From Grand Rapids, MI:Today is one of those days when I truly feel we're trending towards Idiocracy.
Palin, part deux
“Going Rogue” will hardly be the first best seller embraced by millions for talismanic rather than literary ends. And I am not recommending that others follow my example and slog through its 400-plus pages, especially since its supposed revelations have been picked through 24/7 for a week. But sometimes I wonder if anyone has read all of what Palin would call the “dang” thing. Some of the book’s most illuminating tics have been mentioned barely — if at all — by either its fans or foes. Palin is far and away the most important brand in American politics after Barack Obama, and attention must be paid. Those who wishfully think her 15 minutes are up are deluding themselves.

A very good overview of the crazy repubs like Palin trying to takeover the Repub party.
Sarah Palin's amazing first day book sales.
Not sure what I'm looking at but god damn it makes me smile.
Sexy Shitty Seductive Sarah Palin's first day book sales are pretty impressive!
"Palin" shifted 300,000 copies on its first day, which is pretty close to the 400,000 copies sold of Bill Clinton's memoir, My Life, and beats Hilary Clinton's first day numbers of Living History, which sold 200,000 copies in 2003.
Anyone actually brought her waste of paper unforgettable book? And anyone actually give a toss about her?
The Sarah Palin Roadshow - The New York Times
what i find most interesting about these Palinistas is that they have not much to say about her but that she is good looking (which i would say is questionable), that she is religious, and that she is a regular American (which is means absolutely nothing ... after all what does a regular American look like? ... judging by the demographics i would say that they certainly don't come from Alaska ... and they less and less come from the countryside) ... but no one says that she is smart, knows what she is doing ...
Palin's new book
. I'm a foreigner — one who actually likes the United States a great deal, but doesn't normally gravitate to books that go on and on and on about how "America is the best country on Earth."
My literary tastes aside, nothing changes the fact that Going Rogue is 413 pages of religious homilies, cheery bromides, clichés and hackneyed froth.
As in its first page: "I breathed in an autumn bouquet that combined everything small-town America with rugged splashes of the Last Frontier." ( finger down throat here )
If you have not read the book, get it.. and tell me what you think. This is a short synopsis and there is more... but that is for another post or 2 or 3 or or... :-)
