Palin is a "ZERO bar" - white on the outside, nuts on the inside

[arendt]

The ZERO candy bar, introduced in 1920, is a candy bar composed of a combination of caramel, peanut and almond nougat covered with a layer of white fudge. Its outwardly white color, an unusual color for a candy bar, has become its trademark.

Palin is another candidate from the "black ops" shop that gave us Clarence Thomas. A phony, stealth candidate with a huge chip on the shoulder about their extreme positions.

We need a shorthand for this stealthiness. I propose the Zero Bar. It is a well-known candy, even to older people. The "zero" is perfect for Palin; in fact, its perfect for fundies in general.

1. It will be interesting to discover what connection her husband's

oil business has had in Alaska, and how it fits into the Whitehouse.

2. She's also like Zero Bars on a cell phone

completely out of touch with the civilized world

5. Great catch - its a double slam! Thanks. n/t

3. She believes that T-Rex and Raptors were on Noah's Ark, as all Creationists do

and, get this, they were vegetarians!

[arendt]

6. Can you give me a cite on that, so I can use it? Its truly insane. n/t

17. Palin is a Creationist, and believes Creationism should be taught in public schools

John McCain's vice-presidential pick, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is an evangelical Protestant with a strong record of opposition to abortion and an openness to teaching creationism in the public schools

And from that pantheon of irrational beliefs known as the Creation Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio:

6 PM: Adventurers! Join Buddy Davis, Ark explorer, and hear the exciting story of his Search for Noah’s Ark on Mt. Ararat. You will also learn facts about Noah’s Ark according to God’s Word and find answers to questions like: How big was Noah’s Ark? What did the Ark really look like? What is gopher wood? Was there enough room for all of the animals on the Ark? Were dinosaurs on the Ark? How did they fit? Learn the answers to these and many more questions about the most famous ship the world has ever known, Noah’s Ark. In this one hour workshop, you will have fun sculpting a Parasaurolophus dinosaur head with museum dinosaur sculptor, Buddy Davis. Through music, learn about the fossil record and see if you can guess some of the animal sounds Noah may have heard on the Ark. Come join the adventure, in The Search for Noah’s Ark!

Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers.

20. Before Jurassic Park, Creationists claimed that fossils were a demonic deception

somewhere, somehow, Satan was manufacturing fossils to mislead the faithful into thinking the Earth was older than 5,000 years of age.

After Jurassic Park, it was no longer possible for Creationists to claim dinosaurs never existed, so they decided to put them smack in the middle of the Garden of Eden, and aboard Noah's Ark.

7. Nominated.

I guess the sweet part is just to throw people off the nut trail. I appoint you Candy Czar.

8. "All candy bars will wear their underwear on the outside" - homage to "Bananas" n/t

9. I think of her as a red-neck Princess.

She expects the world to gush over her because she can pop out babies without a second thought, is pretty, is as conniving as Rush Limpballs and is as mean as Ann Coulter (but she hides it behind fake smiles and crocodile tears).

Don't get in her way cause she can shoot and is not squeamish about killing cubs. She expects the world, and everyone in it, to do as she says and wont hesitate to pretend to be a victim when the circumstances warrant. In her white male dominated world, the boys let her in cause she gives the veneer of equality to the good old boys running the show.

But make no mistake, she expects the boys to take care of her and if they don't, watch out.

13. Is that a well-established stereotype? Never heard it before? n/t

[riverdale]

10. Where can you get one of those?

[arendt]

Maybe vending machines. Their shelf-life is longer than most humans. n/t

18. STOP INSULTING CANDY BARS!

Don't you realize how tacky you're making us look? I can't believe this place anymore! We are becoming what we hate!!!11111
