    She actually went through a vetting process? That's rich. And where is all of this going? Is she just going to continue to take jabs at everyone and have them continue to take jabs at her until 2012? #sarahpalin

    I liked how her FB update uses BIG, smart-sounding words... "subsequent", "erroneously".

    You should see the responses she got to that, they were hilarious. One guy saying that he didn't even know that people at AP could read?!?? Another guy still referring to her as "Governor" . #sarahpalin

    @se7a7n7: You read them too? Reading the inane and often unintelligible comments from her "fans" is a passion of mine. Gosh, if I had a dime for every time one of them referred to her as "Governor Palin" after she quit, I'd be a very rich lady. I also love that the liberal socialists are all apparently frightened to death of a Palin 2012 run for President when in reality that is what we are all quietly hoping for (both for the entertainment value, and because it would guarantee an Obama victory). #sarahpalin

    The only money they shelled out on vetting her was the 25 cent charge to print out her Wikipedia entry at the Wasilla library computer. #sarahpalin

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: McCain and his camp have surely never heard of Wikipedia because it's on that infamous series of tubes known as the Internetz.

    It's more likely he had her write a 200 word essay entitled "Why I Deserve to be Vice President". Of course, 100 of those words were no doubt "also", "you betcha" and "y'all", so we can see where the process failed.

    Wondering if this could somehow lead to a libel suit by the RNC against Palin, which would cause her to accumulate more legal bills, so she would have to quit more jobs to write more books to pay for the legal bills, and the whole thing would get very meta. #sarahpalin

    In reply to Congratulations, America: You Propped Up the Economy by Spending the Money You're Not Making
    I don't think we're out of the woods yet either. I was more optimistic in mid-August when I saw a sharp uptick in demand for my free-lance graphic design services. But I'm mostly project based, and with those projects nearly complete now, I'm not seeing a lot in terms of new business to take their place. I also had a contract position lined up to start Oct 1 to do production art at an ad agency, but that job was canceled when their main client, a national retailer, decided to cut back on their holiday ad buys.

    So, yeah, I'm thinking, at least in my line of work, companies aren't going to start hiring again until they see how horribly this holiday shopping season is going to pan out. So, people, keep spending that money you don't have;-)

    Of course, I should also mention that I've been searching for a full-time job with benefits since I was laid off in January 2008. So this recession has been particularly painful one for me. #recessionomics

    Until middle class, I mean debtor class, wages significantly improve many of us can't be consumers except for on credit, and we're far away from the optimism that made that (seem) tenable and aren't likely to go back. People need to quit judging the economy based on how much capital investors are hording. Trickle down consequences more than economy. #recessionomics

    Put thousands of unemployed media people to work on propaganda drumming up a fake war, then tens of thousands of unemployed factory workers on the lines making things that explode. Then we just send hundreds of thousands of high school dropouts to the front line to absorb the flack. Their blood will make for more propaganda, which will ratchet up the war machine, and the cycle will perpetuate itself. Either that or we could find some way of making weapons out of dead bodies. #recessionomics
