Look, it's a relatively long process, with quite a bit of work involved. One has to search and grab the best material. And it still requires a bit of tweaking and cleaning, because you're getting the video online, which means it's already been compressed. Then there's cutting and editing and if, like me, you are not a pro video editor but the hey-this-sounds-fun-I'll-just-push-that-button-and-see-what-it-does type and yet aim to pull the job as best as you can despite your aforementioned lack of expertise, then you know this can take quite a lot of industrious and laborious hours—punctuated by a fair amount of swearing when pushing that button didn't produce the desired effect.

Then there's converting and encapsulating it all into a Flash applet, writing the post (then revise and rewrite. Oh boy, how these sound trivial, yet can litterally devour hours of your time) and publishing it on the site.

All of that to say that, hmm, well, you have to understand that the notification email comes at the end of a busy day, when one is not at the top of one's faculties. Also, I'm the first to admit that my colloquial knowledge of the various iterations of spoken English is not unfailing.

I am therefore in full accordance with those of you who, quite humorously, replied and voiced their concern:

*cough* perhaps "bugger" wasn't indeed the best choice of words *cough*

Frankly the most baffling about the whole Hollywood stardom thing is that they manage to make us forget, or at least overlook, the fact that when you get down to it, all these actors are really nothing more than a bunch of buffoons and jesters—with a large variety of personal issues for many, if not most of them.

See Matt Damon here, who “condemns” Sarah Palin and hear why I believe it’s a good thing. I mean, we have this guy who plays rough, streetwise and corrupt cops in Sorcese’s uninspired gangster movies as well as lean, mean killing machines in the action-rich though memory-short Bourne trilogy. Yet this tough character is stammering and pissing his pants (quote: “this is the scary thing”, “terrifying”, “it’s crazy") as he shares with us his visions of Sarah Palin descending upon the White House from the frozen forests—and small towns—of Alaska, riding dinosaurs and holding nuclear fire in her right hand as she faces down Vladimir Putin with a hockey stick in the left¹.

Now, if among the male American voters with big titanium balls and laugh-in-the-face-of-death tattoos, who hunt Grizzly bears with their Victorinox Spartan 1.3603 just because they believe the bear deserves a chance and a fair fight, there was still anyone feeling a bit embarrassed at the idea of voting for a girl, I reckon Damon’s wimpish exhibition just signed these wild-wild hunks on the Palin ticket.

Score 1 for Sarah.

The same goes for ageing bimbos like Pamela Anderson, caught here exposing the full extend of her wit and reasoning on Sarah Palin—that’s about ten words folks, including one interjection and one expletive—thus demonstrating that if silicon could speak, she’d be more advised to let her boob job do the talking.

Nevertheless, I see that “intervention” as nothing if not positive for Mrs. Palin as well: Anderson looks like a hooker, talks like a hooker and, considering her dedication in a not so distant past to share the full details of her intimacy with the rest of the world, she even acts like one—or at least used to, when she was younger.

So I’ll wager that any female American voter worth her weight in gonads will decide whose side she’s on in less time than it takes Pamela Anderson to open her mouth and *beep* it. Yes, we’re talking a very short time.

Score 2 for Sarah. Next up, Hobo Superstar Nick Nolte speaking out against Sarah Palin?

Never forget that on 9/11 2001, cowards murdered 2,996 innocents in the name of Allah the “most benevolent”, “merciful” and “gracious”.

Never forgive either.

This year again, my thoughts are with the victims, their families and relatives—and also with those who serve, protect and fight for Life and Liberty, and against all Islamic barbarians in this modern continuation of a centuries-old conflict.

Never submit, never surrender.
