  1. We're coming up on Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. We should all be thankful for our safety, health, and loved ones. I stumbled upon this series of photos taken recently in Afghanistan. The picture below was not taken there, but rather at Trenton. This one hit me like a ton of bricks and am completely choked-up here at work. You can't help but focus on the children and the wife ofSergeant Prescott Shipway. Truly sad. Honor guard carry the casket of Sergeant Prescott Shipway to a hearse past his daughter Rowan Shipway, 4, his son, Hayden, and his wife Diana Dawn Kaczmar, at Canadian Forces Base Trenton September 10, 2008. Shipway, an infantryman with the Second Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, was killed on September 7 when his armoured vehicle struck a roadside bomb in the Panjwayi District of Afghanistan.

The Wasilla Singers were truly formed by God. All are members of the Wasilla Advent Christian Church, but only Alice was a member of the previous church choir. The choir performed every Sunday, but were local self-proclaimed missionaries, spreading their love of Jesus through song upon anyone they thought wanted to hear them. In March 1988, the choir were on a road trip to raise awareness of a disease that was running rampant, not only in Wasilla Alaska, but surrounding towns all the way to Achorage. They made a significant dent in the minds of their people, bringing facts and fear of the dreaded disease, Chlamydia. They named their tour, "Clap... Your Hands". Nearly completing the tour that they revamped for the holidays called "Clap... for Christmas", tragedy struck. On their way to bring support to the brave men at the Petersville Cryobank Clinic, their short bus hit a family of Moose, and spun off into the lake. Sadly, an accordion was wedged into the front door, and an obese choir member tried to get out the back first and got stuck. The choir was trapped, and all died. They were found a week later when the church realized they were not subjected to hearing them sing on the following Sunday. Alice, a member of the choir, was not on the bus that day. She was at Wasilla High School dealing with her son that got suspended for making glory-holes in all the boy's bathroom stalls. Stuck with her son at home, she heard of the news of her choir, and exclaimed "Glory to God!", and thanked Jesus for the inspiration to form a more organized musical message in tribute to her sunken friends. It was the following Sunday that Alice had led a sermon in honor of the choir members. With this free block of time, the congregation were trying to figure out what and who she was talking about. After violently speaking in tongues on the altar, she wiped the sweat and tears from her face, breasts and cracks, and pleaded to the people in the pews to sing with her. She announced she wanted to start a new choir. A rather excited young man named Barry skipped to the stage and exclaimed, "Fabulous! ... Can we dance too?!" ... it was with those words that the Wasilla SIngers were created. Alice considered it a resurrection of her choir, while Barry saw it as a way to start designing sets. Barry took over soon after, and Alice was put in a more backstage role. In a matter of days, Barry had already produced a show with five women, and his roommate, Jonathan by his side. Their church Christmas show was saved. They were an instant hit, people were laughing and joyous every Sunday, and soon they were on their way to neighborhood stardom! Among the five ladies was a young Sarah Palin. Her voice stood out to Barry, and he gave her a few duo, and occasional solo performances. Her dancing prowess and beauty pageant experience was not overlooked, and she worked with Barry and Jonathan with a lot of the choreography. The popular Alaskan Christian music group actually recorded two independent local albums, "God Is My Nourishment" 1992 and "Singing for Jesus" 1995 (where she has the solo song "Jesus Is Inside Me" and plays her flute). There was also a tape made for young children of the Wasilla Advent Christian Church called "Tongues 4 Toddlers" 1990. Barry and Jonathan left the Wasilla Singers and the Advent Christian Church in 2001. It was revealed that the two men have been in a long-term relationship since early 2000. They recently tied the knot in California with other gay couples. Ironically, the same ceremony which included George Takei (Star Trek's "Sulu"!). Eve, the younger blonde woman had veered from Jesus and began a life of prostitution. The only performance she would occasionally be hired to do was with a donkey... and it was not a nativity scene. It appears that she had become quite addicted to methamphetamine and could not support her addiction, so she skimmed her trick pay, and hid it in a condom in her buttocks. Unfortunately, during a random cavity search from her Pimp, the stash was discovered, and she was immediately terminated. Alice, the forming member of the Wasilla Singers, committed suicide on August 29, 2008 soon after hearing Sarah Palin was nominated to be Vice President. There had always been an underlying feeling of jealously. She always rumored that Sarah was working for the Anti-Christ. People around her just passed her off as psychotic. She did leave a suicide note written in the back of her bible. The only words written were "I know where the bridge goes. Beware of the bridge!". On a more happy note, Susan and Gertrude are essentially the only active members of the group. They formed a duo-act that turned into a type of variety show. They are alive and well today, and perform a regular act that involves items like ping-pong balls, balloons, maple syrup, cotton candy and those huge twisted lollipops. They are famously known as "The Sticky Ball Girls", and are still one of the biggest attractions in Wasilla, AK! Sarah, has been busy pumping out babies, and making her babies have babies. She is steadfast at making sure everyone continues to breed, and is vigilant against any woman that is even considering making a choice for herself. Sarah is determined to do anything she has to do, including exploiting the elderly to obtain authority over all vaginas in the United States. Sarah has proposed the banning of condoms, tying tubes, the rhythm method or anything that prevents an abundant amount of offspring. There are also plans to make and improve fertility medications for all ages, and always over the counter. If she becomes Vice President, she will immediately work on fun ideas such as Flintstones Chewable Clomiphene, and including Serophene candy as prizes in children's breakfast cereal.
  7. and can you believe this on the front of a shirt?
  8. A "cUntroversy"?! Now THAT's something totally different
  9. They totally nominated her primarily because she's a woman. They know that for a large chunk of the voters, they'd rather vote for a woman than a black man (sounds backwards and antiquated, no?) They truly see it as the "lesser of two evils" as pathetic as that is. I hope tonight's debate gets more shit out in the open.
