Dear Mr. Todd Palin

Fuck you.  Fuck your attitude.  and Fuck off.

If Mr. Letterman in any way represented or wanted to be within ANY definition of "Mainstream America", he would be on prime time right now.

Instead, he represents a REAL America: the America that has a choice of what entertainment it chooses to enjoy, not the America you envision where entertainments must pass through some anonymous committee to be deemed "fit" for public consumption, and only appropriate to "Mainstream America".

This idea that only "morally appropriate" material be presented has plenty of origins, and they're in countries we defeated in wars (hot and cold) as they tried to impose those controls on others.  It has no place in this country.

So take your "Party"-loving attitude about what should and shouldn't be said on the airwaves and shove it up your ass right now.

And then you and your entire fucked up family (a family that totally and continually fails to live up to the moral claims you all attempt to impose on the rest of us) can just go back to the corner of the dirt you crawled from and leave us alone.

Thank you for your input, but your fifteen fucking minutes ended 8 months ago.

a good one...

FDA To Regulate Tobacco | The Onion - America's Finest News Source:

The Senate passed a bill that would allow the Food and Drug Administration to regulate the sale of cigarettes and would prohibit the use of terms like "light" and "low tar" in packaging. What do you think?

With the (non-)obvious but brilliant reply:

"They can remove 'light' and 'low tar' from the labels, but as long as I choose the cigarette brand with the least rugged man in its advertising, I know I'm getting the equivalent."

as i wrote, i can find something stupid by someone religious every single day...

Texas town says goodbye to 'hello' | mndaily.com - Serving the University of Minnesota Since 1900:

In this friendly little ranching town, "hello" is wearing out its welcome. And Leonso Canales Jr. is happy as heck.

At his urging, the Kleberg County commissioners on Monday unanimously designated "heaven-o" as the county's official greeting. The reason: "hello" contains the word "hell."

update - part of the fault on letterman's part was understandable

though not to the Palin family, who as we have established remain humor-impaired in spite of the last year of SNL.

The joke reference was simply "daughter getting knocked up by A-Rod" at the Yankees game.  The problem: while it is to anybody not paying detailed attention at the family (i.e., 99.99999% of the country that are sick of them) that is an obvious reference to Bristol, it turns out that Willow (where the hell do they get these names?), who is only 14, was the one actually at the game earlier that day.

So a big oops to Letterman's writers for not connecting one and one, and a continued big "fuck you" to the Palin's for looking at a joke in the most literal sense possible, assuming the worst possible interpretation, and refusing to acknowledge who a joke's target really is.
