Palin Abdicates Gubernatorial Seat

“Beautiful, a liar, and a quitter. God, I haven’t been this aroused by the thought of a woman in two years.”

Garment Inspector
“Nothing can distract her laser focus from the ultimate prize: the Fields Medal.”

Honey Extractor
"With this Sean Parnell guy coming in, at least they won't have to change the initials carved into the caribou-antler throne that has served as the ceremonial seat of Alaskan governors since 1959."
