Sarah Palin is so mad at Newsweek. They put her on the cover in a running outfit instead of one of her eleventy billion dollar suits. IT IS SO SEXIST, she facebooked. (And here I thought making rape victims pay for their own rape kits was sexist.)

I'm one of those feministy types who will point out sexist rhetoric on a Kraft macaroni box, and even I'm struggling here. Sure, she's wearing shorts and her stance is more pageant queen-y than serious politician-y, but I'm guessing that's kind of the point of the article. And considering that she holds no official position, a leisure outfit seems fairly appropriate. 

The funny thing is, if they showed her at home baking a pie, she probably wouldn't even understand the inherent sexism. Luckily we know that our Sarah is a Serious Thinking Person, so we can be 100% sure that she's not throwing out baseless accusations to distract us from the headline, which basically calls her a useless wad of suckage sent from hell to destroy us all.

Oh, and pick up some cigs on the way over?" And you're like, "Well, I probably should have figured that out sooner." It's the same duh feeling you had when you found out balloon boy was a hoax. Well, that's how I'm feeling about the uproar over this whole 'Joe Lieberman shocks everyone by being a douchebag about the public option' business. CLICK TO READ MORE...

Oh, how adorable: A crosswalk signal dusted with flurries

Apparently it's What-the-Fuck Tuesday here at Hayley's Comment, probably because all the real news is too bleak to mention. The latest to make assholes of themselves are the New Media Elite over at Gawker. Gawker writers are tuff because they are a new species than can actually make a living blogging, and they live in New York on a "per click" salary which is very dangerous and daring in these precarious times. HOWEVER. They are just a bunch of pansies! KEEP READING...
