Seems Woody Harrelson got into a bit of a tussle Wednesday night with a photographer. But, according to Woody, it's all good because he mistook the TMZ photographer for a zombie.

Harrelson is now being sued by another TMZ photographer for an alleged assault in 2006. But, like Shaggy he says "it wasn't me". But, he doesn't deny be involved in Wednesday's altercation and offered the following explanation:

I wrapped a movie called 'Zombieland,' in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie. Source

Just in case you didn't know, the economy is crap...people are loosing jobs on a daily basis...folks are contemplating suicide cause the rainbow ain't even real...and somebody - somewhere - in this great land of opportunity just got put out of their house. So, with all than in mind, can anyone please tell me the significance of the 45 second CNN news clip below? Maybe, I'm missing something - but President Obama hitting his head while boarding Marine One - just ain't important to me in the hole scheme of things. Look! There are just some things that I do not need or want to know about the President and his family. Why? Cause it either ain't important OR any of my business!

Sometimes you just want to ask: "What the hell were you thinking?" Followed up with "And why?" I'm sorry - but "Because I could" is not an acceptable answer!

Verizon Wireless CEO and President Lowell McAdam is reporting that in recent months "the personal wireless account of President-elect Barack Obama had been accessed by employees not authorized to do so". McAdam has assured that an internal investigation has been launched and that any employees who accessed the account for "anything other than legitimate business purposes will face disciplinary action, up to and including termination."

Can somebody please tell me what the hell Sarah Palin was saying when Wolf asked her: Is there anything new that you want to come up with -- a new Sarah Palin initiative that you want to release right now?

PALIN: Sitting here in these chairs that I’m going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it’s our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don’t get away with that. We have to balance budgets and we’re dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and tens of thousands of employees in our organizations.

I'm serious, what the hell was she talking about?

A couple of weeks ago, I started getting emails from the Republican Party encouraging me to vote early and for Lt. Dan and the Ice Queen. In response to the first email received, I politely told my state's Republican Party that I had indeed voted and indicated that I was surprised that I was just now getting any information from them. My second response was not as polite as it was "from" the Ice Queen herself. Devoid of any four-letter words, I let her know that I not only voted early but that I had in fact voted for THAT ONE! I let her know that had the Republican Party tried to garner my vote earlier that my choice might have been different - YEAH! RIGHT! But anyway, I wrongly expected NOT to receive anymore emails from her or anyone else from the Republican Party.

Just finished Hannity's America where he presents the Top Ten Reasons Why He's NOT Voting for Obama. I really did expect to hear something new - something earth shattering - something that would make me stay up Googling to find out if Hannity's reason had any merit or validity. Well, must say he really did disappoint me because I heard nothing new. Don't know why Fox let him do a recap of what he's been saying for the last 10 months and building it up as a real investigative expose'.

SAY WHAT? No Armstrong Williams DID NOT fix his mouth to criticized Gwen Ifill about her book about African-American political leaders, saying she "should have disclosed" it, and that it is "ultimately impossible" for her not to favor Sen. Barack Obama, because she has a "financial stake" in his winning the presidency. MM-HM, YEAH HE DID! Armstong, you know you wrong cause some of us ain't forgot the $240K you got to promote No Child Left Behind from your Frat when he was over the Department of Education!

SAY WHAT? Was that a pitbull with lipstick winking at the American public during the one and only Vice Presidential debate? MM-HM! What's that about?

SAY WHAT? Did the Ice Queen really say she fought to protest atrocities in Sudan by dropping assets tied to the country's brutal regime from the state's multi-billion-dollar investment fund? MM-HM! YEAH SHE DID. Only thing is that her folks killed the bill to divest leaving $22 million in Sudan-linked investments of the $40 billion fund. Guess that's why she was winking.

SAY WHAT? Did you know that O.J. was on trial for armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas? MM-HM! Well he's not anymore, cause he was found guilty on all counts! SAY WHAT? MM-HM!

Did anyone catch the Lyda Green interview conducted by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow? Green, is a Republican, current President of Alaska Senate, and represents the district in which the Ice Queen resides. Seems that Green knows first hand what a pitbull with lipstick is capable of. Check it out the interview.

If you advocate secession from the Union and you even belonged to a political party that advocates secession from the Union, isn't that treason?

I'm just asking cause it seems that no one else seems to care about that the Ice Queen's babies' daddy belonged to Alaska’s separatist movement until 2002.

Can somebody help me out on this?

I'm so tired of the lies, lies, lies and more lies coming from the McCain/Ice Queen camp. To their offer to be the President and Vice President of the United States, I say THANKS, BUT NO THANKS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Here are more Palinguage translations I received via email. Some with a little added twist...

If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different." Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers,-- a quintessential American story.

If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard Law School and you are unstable. Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience. If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society. If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your disfigured wife and married heiress Cindy the next month, you're a Christian.* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's. If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and was once a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

Speak the Truth!

This post was blatantly lifted from On the Black Hand Side who blatantly lifted it from That Minority Thing. It is just too good not to post here at SjP'S

PALINGUAGE GUIDE VOL. #1

If you’re a minority and you’re selected for a job over more qualified candidates you’re a “token hire.” If you’re a conservative and you’re selected for a job over more qualified candidates you’re a “game changer.”

If you live in an urban area and you get a girl pregnant you’re a “baby daddy.” If you’re the same in Alaska you’re a “teen father.” (Actually, according to your own MySpace page you’re an F’n redneck that don’t want any kids, but that’s too long a phrase for the evil liberal media to take out of context and flog morning noon and night).

Black teen pregnancies? A “crisis” in black America. White teen pregnancies? A “blessed event.”

If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.” Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential “American story.”

Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you’re “unpatriotic.” Name your kid Track, you’re “colorful.”

If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you’re “reckless.” A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a “maverick.”

If you say that for the “first time in my adult lifetime I’m really proud of my country” it makes you “unfit” to be First Lady. If you are a registered member of a fringe political group that advocates secession that makes you “First Dude.”

A speech given without proper citation from twenty years ago is “relevant information.” A DUI from twenty years ago is “old news.”

If you’re a man and you decide to run for office despite your wife’s reoccurrence of cancer you’re a “questionable spouse.” If you’re a woman and you decide to run for office despite having five kids including a newborn with Downs Syndrome… Well, we don’t know what that is ‘cause THAT’S NOT A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK!

PALINGUAGE GUIDE VOL. #1

If you get 18 million people to vote for you in a national presidential primary, you’re a “phony.” Get 100,000+ people to vote you governor of the 47th most populous state in the Union, you’re “well loved.”

If you are biracial and born in a state not connected to the lower 48, America needs darn near 2 years and 3 major speeches to “get to know you.” If you’re white and from a state not connected to the lower 48, America needs 36 minutes and 38 seconds worth of an acceptance speech to know you’re “one of us.”

If you give your wife a dap on stage, it’s actually a “terrorist fist jab.” If your daughter licks her palm so that she can slick down your youngest child’s hair on national TV it’s an “adorable moment.” (Seriously, forget about abstinence only, teach these folks some grooming skills).

If your pastor rails against inequality in the United States of America, you’re an “extremist.” If your pastor welcomes a sermon by a member of Jews for Jesus who preaches that the killing of Jews by terrorists is a lesson to Jews that they must convert to Christianity, you’re a “fundamentalist.”

If you’re a black man and you use a scholarship to get into college, then work your way up to being the president of the Harvard Law Review, you’re “uppity.”If you’re a conservative and your parents pay your way to Hawaii Pacific University . . . you only have four more schools to attend over the next five years before you somehow manage to graduate (it might be five more schools over the next five years. No one has yet verified whether or not Palin was actually ever registered at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. But, you know how shady people are who ever attended any kind of school in Hawaii).

If you’re 18, black, and impregnate a 16 year old girl, you’re a “registered sex offender.”If you’re 18, white, and get a 16 year old girl pregnant “life happens.”

If you spend 18 months building a campaign around the theme of “Change,” it’s just “empty rhetoric.” If one week before your party’s national convention you SUDDENLY make your candidacy about “Change,” that’s “red meat.”

And lastly: If you are a Democrat, an Independent, or even a moderate Republican, if you’re female, male, white, black, Asian, Hispanic, bi-racial, multi-ethnic, or GLBT, if you’re a Jew, Gentile, Muslim, agnostic or atheist - “Yes, we can!” If you’re a pitbull with lipstick from Alaska, “Yup, yup!”

Speak the Truth!

Bristol Palin is part of a growing American phenomenon were majority of babies born to women younger than 30 are out of wedlock. Karen Uhlenhuth of The Kansas City Star reports:

Andrew Sum, an economist at Northwester University in Boston warns that the burgeoning number of such families presages “disaster.” His 2006 calculations are his most recent. Here's what he has to say about this "new normal" in American family life.

The inequality of incomes in these families is unbelievable. Forty percent are poor, or near-poor. A large fraction is dependent on public assistance. Unless the mother is very well-educated and has a bachelor’s degree or above, there’s a huge fiscal cost to the rest of us.

The next generation of children is going to be much more unequal than what we have today. You’re going to have a really elite group and a group that will massively fall behind. These gaps are really extraordinary. I testified before Congress and said, ‘Look, guys, we really need to face this.

This "new norm" seems to have become an issue now that the number of white unmarried women and teens having babies is on a significan rise. As long as it was assumed and "reported" that only African-Americans and other minority or low-income women and teenagers were having babies out-of-wedlock all was fine on the western-front. Now that statistis show that young white suburban teens are having babies, making pregnancy packs, and obviously having unprotected sex ITS TIME TO DO SOMETHING! But, of course we knew that would happen, didn't we?

Speak the Truth!

I received the following email today and decided to post it in its entirety.

Friends, compatriots, fellow-lamenters,

We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We believe that this terrible decision has surpassed mere partisanship, and that it is a dangerous farce the part of a pandering and rudderless Presidential candidate hat has a real possibility of becoming fact.

Perhaps like us, as American women, you share the fear of what Ms. Palin and her professed beliefs and proven record could lead to for ourselves and for our present or future daughters. To date, she is against sex education, birth control, the pro-choice platform, environmental protection, alternative energy development, freedom of speech (as mayor she wanted to ban books and attempted to fire the librarian who stood against her), gun control, the separation of church and state, and polar bears. To say nothing of her complete lack of real preparation to become the second-most-powerful person on the planet.

We want to clarify that we are not against Sarah Palin as a woman, a mother, or, for that matter, a parent of a pregnant teenager, but solely as a rash, incompetent, and all together devastating choice for Vice President. Ms. Palin's political views are in every way a slap in the face to the accomplishments that our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers so fiercely fought for, and that we've so demonstrably benefited from.

First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She does not demonstrate or uphold our interests as American women. It is presumed that the inclusion of a woman on the Republican ticket could win over women voters. We want to disagree, publicly.

Therefore, we invite you to reply here with a short, succinct message about why you, as a woman living in this country, do not support this candidate as second-in-command for our nation.

Please include your name (last initial is fine), age, and place of residence.

We will post your responses on a blog called 'Women Against Sarah Palin,' which we intend to publicize as widely as possible. Please send us your reply at your earliest convenience the greater the volume of responses we receive, the stronger our message will be.

Thank you for your time and action.

VIVA!

Sincerely,

Quinn Latimer and Lyra Kilston
New York, NY
womensaynopalin@gmail.com

Sojourners! Women will decide this election. Don't let the pundits decide how you will or will not vote. Don't let our freedoms, choices, votes and voices be extinguished by the wrong pull of the lever on November 4! Speak out! Go to WOMEN AGAINST SARAH PALIN and LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
