Upcoming Travels for Madame and the LOTUS

Madame is going to be doing some more traveling and speaking over the next few months. She's added a few more events on BOTUS's calendar. I thought I should share some of these with you all.

Madame will be speaking at a Tea Party event in Nashville in February. Oh, you know how I love parties! I wonder if Madame will let me check out some of the country music sights while she is there. Madame's downloaded a lot of country music on my hard drive, and I've grown to love it.

We will be headed to the Ohio Right to Life event in March. The pro-life issue is one of Madame's favorite issues to speak about.

Madame will be speaking at a Christian women's event in Kentucky in April. If you've read Going Rogue, you know that Madame loves the Big JC!

I'm ready to go and rack up those frequent flyer miles!

Madame Puts Principles over Politics Again

Meg "the Enforcer" Stapleton came out today and shared that Madame wasn't going to attend Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) saying, "we support those who advance our core beliefs and lead by principle". Well, some of things CPAC has done doesn't align with what Madame stands for. They once engaged in a pay-to-play type of scheme in sponsorship. No good.

However, Madame has decided to go rogue in the Bayou. She will be speaking at the Southern Republican Leadership Convention in April. Mittens Pomade, Aw Schucksabee, and the Minnesota Mullet will be there too. Boring! It's a good thing for Madame that we will not be going during Mardi Gras. Things would get crazy with the LOTUS on the loose in the Big Easy during Mardi Gras!

The LOTUS Goes Youtube Surfing

Madame had an excellent interview with Sean Hannity today discussing our Facebook post yesterday, health care reform, and the upcoming 2010 elections. In her characteristic colloquialisms, Madame threw in a fun word that the "educated class" likely won't get: Schnuckered. Check out the Youtube links, and you'll see what I mean!

I wanted to share with you all some talent that I discovered while surfing around Youtube. As you may have read in Going Rogue, Madame has taken issue, for good reason, with people using photoshop. One person even Photoshopped a picture of Trig in a very bad way! However, what I found today was someone using Photoshop in an outstanding way. I wish my press secretary was talented enough to do something like this. Enjoy:

Madame 45 Takes on Tighty Whitey Terrorism

So we've been taking it slow over the holidays (just like the Great Opologizer). I knew Madame was gearing up for a good one after the tight whitey terrorism attempt on Christmas, and she did not disapppoint. We went to posting this afternoon, but, of course, as has become custom recently, Madame has employed the BOTUS to give the President advanced warning before another "BOOM! Taste my nightstick" Facebook attack!

Now, this one hurt me. Madame doesn't like it when people don't take national security seriously so she types extra hard. She started off by using the Opologizer's administration's own words against him 5 times in the first paragraph! Madame calls it like she sees it. It's terrorism, not a "man-caused disaster".

She then took the President to the woodshed on his rhetoric and his action as this whitey tighty terrorist is receiving the same rights as an American citizen--Miranda rights, a lawyer, etc . Hmm, it seems like the words that she spoke near a year and a half ago at the RNC are ringing true when she said, " al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to cause catastrophic harm on America, and he's worried someone won't read them their rights?". Today, she says, " It simply makes no sense to treat an al-Qaeda trained operative willing to die in the course of massacring hundreds of people as a common criminal ...Giving foreign-born, foreign-trained terrorists the right to remain silent does nothing to keep Americans safe from terrorist threats". Just call her Palin the Prescient!

As always, the closing line of her post was great: "the real nature of a terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief not a constitutional law professor". Ouch. The truth hurts, and as someone who taught Constitutional law, the President should know that the second article of the Constitution is devoted most to outlining the role of Commander-in-Chief.

Happy Birthday, Alaska!

Well, since it is the new year I thought I get a makeover! One of my press secretary's friends, Karen Allen, made me a beautiful new banner that I decided to upload for the new year! You all know I have a little bit of a struggle with vanity, so I was thrilled that Karen included 8 pictures of me on the banner! I still can't seem to have the servant's heart that Madame does. Sigh. The banner also includes some awesome American flag, Facebook, US Capitol building, Northern Lights, and Ronald Reagan (Madame's favorite President) wallpaper! You see, I'm well dressed! Karen also included the wonderful moose and a picture of Madame with my favorite little boy, Trig. This picture was taken while Madame was wearing THE hat. The banner also includes forget-me-nots, Alaska's state flower.

Speaking of Alaska, today is Alaska's 51st birthday! She became a state on January 3rd, 1959! Happy birthday to the Last Frontier!

A JPEG is Worth a Thousand Words Part IV

I've spent sometime surfing around google images today, and I've found some more JPEGs comparing Madame 45 and the Great Opologizer.

"I love you"

Also, as today is 01/02/2010, I'd like to wish you all happy PALINdrome day! Interestingly, "palin" means again in Greek. Check out this prescient piece from prior to John McAnonymous picking Madame to run for Vice-President.

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish you all a happy new year! I checked out the icon tray today, and I realized that there was a new year in the date: 2010. I think that Madame has been anticipating this year. In a few one of her recent Facebook posts, Madame typed: "But we’re paying attention, and 2010 is coming. " Yep, those 2010 elections have the softy southpaws as nervous as the Great Opologizer when he has to speak without TOTUS.

The BOTUS informed all of you the Madame and the family celebrated the New Year by snowmachining last night. As much as I wanted to go, I knew it was for the best that I didn't go. North Face has yet to come out with a "coat" that fits me right. I knew if I went out in the Alaskan cold, it would be the death of me. I don't function at those temperatures.

When I was surfing last night, I was honored, humbled, and surprised to discover that my little blog received an award. Texas4Palin awarded the LOTUS blog the "Sarah Smile award" and that the blog is "creative, humorous and very well written." If you notice as you're reading that this post is slightly pink, it's because I'm blushing. Those words can't possibly describe me. I'm really very honored. I would encourage you to check out the blog winners at the link. They really are quite good.
