What's your point? Different words and phrases are used all over the US. Try reading Obamas Looming Problem. There is a real problem to be addressed, not this petty carp.

Honestly, the woman is not even in office or running for one and she still scares the pants off the left.

I read it. There are real problems with healthcare still, problems much larger than Obama. But that report you referred to is an alarmist pile of carp.

Refute it then. What do you know that the writer doesn't?

Just saying it's crap doesn't make it so.

I think people should be forced to take a test before running for office. It wouldn't necessarily need to be that difficult, but I suspect it would be enough to turn back quite a few high profile volunteers for public service from both sides of the aisle.

For example:

Q1: What does the term 'public service' mean to you? In particular, who serves whom?

Q2: What's your favourite colour? (notice anything funny about the spelling? - this would take the place of citizenship requirements)

Q3: Explain, in 100 words or less, why you think you are qualified to be in charge of the most powerful military force in history. (Usage of the phrase 'Assta-la-vista, baybeee!' would signal immediate disqualification).

Q4: Spell 'potatoe'

Q5: 'Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, won't get fooled again' are the lyrics to a well known Roger Daltry tune. True or false?

Q6: During the national anthem, should you a) Put hand over heart, b) Whistle, c) Grab crotch and moon-dance, d) Look embarrassed having forgotten words.

Q7: What language do they speak in Austria?

Q8: What is the capital of New York City?

Were none of y'all raised where everything ain't concreted over?

It's quite evident what Palin is writing...hens cackle, not roosters. So she is referring to this group of women as a bunch of cackling hens. That's also the term us country people apply to a bunch of up-to-no-good busybodies.

When tweeting, I understand one is limited in the number of words that may be used...so only the politically constipated would castigate someone for using a descriptive word which captures the essence of an entire phrase.

Who hijacked term: 'cackle'?

As a follow-up to my earlier post, anybody who Tweets should be automatically and irrevocably disqualified from running for high office.

If you feel that way, you'll love this:

Hmmmm...after checking out the original thread at the Funny Farm, this thread lacks much of the sting of the original.

Of course, that's not surprising...

The first question should be along the lines:

"If you earn home $100 a week, and bring home $60 after taxes, how much cash do you have available to spend?"

(a) $60
(b) $100
(c) $600
(d) $5,000

Fair enough, but adding the allowed responses:
e) What are taxes?
g) My fundraisers take care of that side of things for me.
h) Does that include a clothing allowance?

Might also be a good idea.

Depends on who you work for. In Chicago, the answer would could be either (c) or (d).

Q: What is your understanding of the term 'Bush Doct'rin'?

a): It's a neo-conservative approach to foreign policy, whereby the United States withdraws from the ABM treaty, and promotes an aggressive attitude to possible threats against our national security, including unilateral first-strike against perceived terrorist threats, and invasion of sovereign nations that knowingly harbour terrorists.

b) It's what happens when I goes for a waxin'
