I have been trying, as of late, to figure out what kind of karmic payback will be due to me after the last few weeks.
Just look at the last few posts. Sara and I got animated! Someone made us LiveJournal icons! Our vlogs have been all over the place. I met muthafuckin WESCRAVEN (by the way, I really think someone needs to make a show called "That's So Wes Craven!"). It's all a little much.
Then, friends, my husband scored SNL tickets to this weekend's show. You know, the show with the three headed beast herself - SARAH PALIN - on it. Too much, just too much.
What kind of payback will the universe send me for all this bounty? I shudder to think.
However, I will say if you ever get the chance to see SNL in the flesh - do it! It's way more fun and flies by when you're there. At home I rarely watch the whole thing, but there's so much more magic going on in person. Just watching the crew transform the tiny studio so quickly, and gracefully into a number of stages, and watching the flow of crew and talent is mesmerizing enough to make you forget about the commercial breaks. There was something both creepy and endearing about watching crew members rush guests off the stage while holding their hands.
Warming up the crowd, Fred Armisen played guitar with the SNL band while Kristen Wiig sang Blondie's "One Way or Another" - totally fun and who knew Kristen had a great voice? Josh Brolin was a really great host. His monologue was strong (referencing his amazing work on GOONIES of all things) and I just really liked his vibe.
Know what I didn't like? Sarah Palin.
She seems to be getting a lot of credit for this appearance and I'm left wondering why? Everyone around her did the heavy lifting and she did what she's done this whole campaign - sit there, read her script, and looked pretty. Who's surprised by this? How much credit needs to be given for raising the roof during a rap mocking you?
I will say, seeing Tina Fey and Sarah Palin pass by each other was pretty cool. They are extremely similar in body type. Roughly the same height and, um, CRAZY THIN.
And just as an insider note - my lil' corner of the audience tried to boo Palin at several points, but we weren't heard. Also, we spotted several VIPs being ushered onto the special floor seats wearing McCain/Palin buttons, so make of that what you will.
You might notice that during the rap (which was funny because Poehler did it with such gusto) the line "you say Obama, I say Ayres" totally fell flat with the audience.
True to form, our Sarah Palin totally thought she NAILED everything and is looking forward to a career in comedy following her earth-shattering appearance (note Dina's SNL bracelet for an added touch of authenticity):
You can also catch the episode on NBC's Hulu. Read Sara Schaefer's awesome open letter to Palin on Best Week Ever as well - I like her take.

Big news, dudes! Sara and I were asked to do the Palin vlogs for 23/6. We're excited about it. You can catch us on the 23/6 site and the 23/6 YouTube channel. Not too much of a change, really. Still on YouTube, so git to it!
Also, and I'm so in love with this, Scott Bateman from Salon.com animated a vlog (with exclusive, not seen before content). It's so adorable! Enjoy!

There's another installment of the Sarah Palin vlogs. This time, Dina Heath-Barr reveals her very un-Christian feelings for Rachel Maddow. This was actually just an excuse for me to publicly air out my own very Sapphic leanings, because Maddow is pretty much my favorite lesbian, besides Roger Ebert.
Last night Maddow toyed with my emotions and said the word "haberdashery" which was a direct reference to our vlog. I am sure of it. Be still my heart.

CNN BIATCHEZ!!!
Wolf Blitzer aired the clip wherein we discuss Sarah Palin shooting wolves from a helicopter in Palin Vlog #7 and which then reminds us of Mr. Wolf Blitzer.
YIPPEE!!!!!
Now if only Mr. Keith Olbermann would get the stones to play the clip we lovingly aimed right at him!
Oh, and catch Vlog #11 wherein Sarah discusses her first encounters with Black People.
Keep an eye out on Sara Benincasa's YouTube Channel for more coming up very, very soon!

Well, hi! If you're new around here it's likely due to the Sarah Palin vlogs. They are quite hilarious, I agree. Want more? Haven't seen the latest batch? Have you seen the face of Dina Heath-Barr?
Palin Vlog #7 (DINA APPEARS)
Palin Vlog #8 (Burning "Go Ask Alice" is good for the environment)
Palin Vlog #9 (First Church of Sarah Palin, Jesus Christ)
Palin Vlog #10 (In which we call for Keith Olbermann's dismantling)
These have been SOOO much fun to be a part of. Sara Benincasa not only does an amazing Palin, but she busts ass and edits these puppies. As a result of her hard work the vlogs have been featured in Wired, Newsweek, Time, and aired on CNN (we love you Wolf Blitzer). I'm still holding out hope that Rachel Maddow will ask us to be on her show so that she can ask me to run away with her. Sam said he was okay with that.
If you're new around here, feel free to have a poke around the blog. You can also catch me on Twitter and Facebook, and see some of my comedy here and here !

Can't get enough of Sara Benincasa's brilliant satirical take on Sarah Palin? Neither can we. I'm telling you, I haven't had this much fun since I was a child. It's like grown-up happy play time where we get to play pretend.
So, here are #5 and #6 - but keep an eye out on Sara's YouTube channel because another one is in the hopper and Dina (moi) makes an appearance!

There is more, so much more Sarah Palin vlogging in store for you all. We had three more, and they are all over the damn internet. Watch these and learn to live again:
Sarah Palin Vlog #2
Sarah Palin Vlog #3 (The number 1 featured comedy on YouTube!)
Sarah Palin Vlog #4
Sara Benincasa not only gave an amazing performance, but edited all of these. The improving between us as Sarah Palin and Dina Heath-Barr was nothing short of magical. Be on the look out for more goodness.

What happens when two couples get together, eat Ethiopian food, and talk shit about McCain's VP, Sarah Palin? MAGIC. This is just a teaser of more to come. Sara Benincasa and I, aided by our domestic partners Sam and Ces, shot probably an hour and a half of this shit, improving pure MAGIC.
Enjoy.
You're welcome.

And we come full circle, friends. I am going to make like Vera Drake and put my breeding desires on low.
Why? Well, firstly, I found out that Great Mama Duggar (she of the "it's a vagina not a clown car fame) is expecting her 18th child! I'm intensely disgusted by this factoid. What can possibly be the state of that woman's uterus? Does she need to buy it an extra seat when she flies?
But what really did it for me was this awesome video from comedian/actor/drunk Jackie Monahan that HALAN blogged about. This video makes me want to not ever have to deal with a stroller in NYC, ever.
BABIES FIRST!

Some poor, innocent child is being subjected to his parents sick mullet needs. Brady Arneson is only three, and yet his fate as an aspiring toothless, puck-chasing French-Canadian is sealed.
And while this is certainly the cutest mullet I have seen, does it really merit winning an award for best mullet? Is this the best Minnesota has to offer? Having spent time in its dairy laden bosom, I say nay.
Looks like this is more about the Arneson's greedy desire to create some sort of shameful familial legacy.
Mullets are a family tradition for the Arnesons -- Brady's older brother Blake won the same award in 2005. Their father Scott Arneson also had a mullet as a child.

Obama has Larry David (can that possibly lead to anything good), Huckabee has Chuck Norris, and John McCain has landed the biggest one of them all...WILFORD BRIMLEY. I want so much out of this union. I'm picturing McCain and Brimley propped up on matching horses in the middle of the Arizona desert (Wilford required five Mexicans and a series of levers and pullies), their dual silhouettes dark against the blazing orange sunset. Both of them exchanging advice regarding Liberty Mutual supplies and working on policy to get a set of medical supplies to every American in the country, regardless of their diabeetus status. Wilford's Teddy Roosevelt-good looks making McCain appear fresh, youthful. Ah, beauteous.
If you haven't seen this before, you're in for a treat.

How wrong is this gum? It used to be my favorite gum ever. When I'd go on errands with my dad, the hardware store he'd go to had it in stock and I'd beg and lose my damn mind to get him to buy me bologna gum. In looking back I thought it was because the premise was so disgusting, that he couldn't believe his daughter would want to eat that shit, but if this packaging is historically correct, he was clearly concerned about other messages.
Y'all, I am getting pretty disgusted with all the bullshit surrounding the campaign. The Hillary bashing is off the charts. The woman teared up. Fucking shut up already. Also, what in the fuck year is this already? IRONING?! Way to kick a wymyn when she's down. Jezebel reports on Gloria Steinem's reaction.
It seems like Obama is going to take New Hampshire tonight, I like to think that this picture captures the moment where Obama tells Hillary as much.
Things keep pissing me off on the feminist tip. I'm getting particularly disgusted by the fact that there is a "Men Are the New Women" tshirt in existence. I would like my own version.
I even put it in Comic Sans to really reflect the suck. Comic Sans is the morning dj of fonts. Even worse? Dudes lamenting their old girlfriends' past abortions. Guess what, dudes, DON'T CARE. Call us when you can carry a fetus to term.As I pull the wedge out of my ass I realize that there's a writer in the U.K. who needs to be my new BFF because I am LOVING her defense of granny panties.
On how many occasions in the past year have you needed to wear sexy pants? In other words, to break this right down, how many times this year have you suddenly, unexpectedly, had sex in a brightly lit room, with a hard-to-please erotic connoisseur? Exactly. On those kind of odds, you might just as well be keeping a backgammon board down there, to entertain a group of elderly ladies in the event of emergencies. It’s more likely to happen.
You know, when it comes to sex, you have to remember men are blessedly, almost serenely, laisser-faire creatures. Girls – THERE ARE MEN OUT THERE HAVING SEX WITH BICYCLES. Whether you wear sexy pants is neither here nor there to them. They’re really not that fussy. Remind yourself of this every day. For instant calmness, it’s better than meditation. Imagine if men indulged in similarly demented levels of needless overpreparation. If they did, they’d all have two tickets for a mini-break to Prague in their boxers, lest they come across a lady doing spot-checks on their levels of “total dreaminess”. As you may have noticed, men just aren’t doing that in their pants. Indeed, in this inclement weather, they’re barely keeping their genitals in there.Preach it! I don't know how many times I've heard people defend thongs. Look, we are just not going to agree, but at least don't insult me. Just admit you do it because you think it's sexy. Do not tell me it's because your ass defies the laws of physics - you have a crack that is larger than the ribbon of cotton, therefore the ribbon of cotton will be inside your ass crack. That shit does not feel (or look, for that matter) all that good. While it may differ in size and shape, my ass is not wildly different than yours - it's not a fucking trapezoid. It's an ass. With a crack. And a piece of fabric in my ass crack does not = good times. If you like them, bless you, but do not tell me you do it for comfort because I seriously might have a rage stroke.
This rage attack inspiration wasn't brought on by panties, just a huge pile of panty waste by the name of Dr. Phil. Best Week Ever does a good job of guessing how it might have gone down. I might have to send this to my mother to finally shatter her faith in this man.
DR. PHIL: Let’s talk about Britney. I mean, what is her deal, yo? [AUDIENCE CHUCKLES AT COMFORTABLE, GOOD-NATURED UNPROFESSIONALISM] I mean, what the hell, dammit?And, finally, because I will not let go of the haunting vision of Huckabee volplaning around the country, eschewing the traditional campaign bus, to descend upon his flock of homeschooled masses alight with promise, their ankle length horsehair fluttering in his wake, it just too funny to me...but it looks like Huckabee Sugarglider Jesus will not be allowed into St. Paul.
I know, it was a long build up for not much pay off. Tomorrow is a new day.

Sweet little prop-moppet.
You adorable little pudge. J'taime.
This child is a genius, "Barack Obama lied to the American people when he told us he was black. He is not black. I should know. I'm black." Also, very taken with the Indian child who states that John Edwards got a $4,000 manicure, and he should know, because his mother gave him that manicure.
Now that I know the potential children have for parody, I think it's time to bust out the breeding scale.
Today I'm almost at Mama Duggar level as I hover at severe. This story about an adorable toddler with autism who only speaks to animals didn't help matters.
These Swift Kids really need to attack Sugargliding Huckabee Jesus, because he has upped his game and is now charming the pants off of gay rock stars. NOT OKAY. DO NOT LOOK HIM DIRECTLY IN THE EYE, PEOPLE.
When I was young, my mom was mostly very liberal in her Catholicism. However, there was one incident of crazy where she informed me that the devil walked the earth and would try to charm you. You could spot him by his perfectly manicured finger nails. I doubt Hickabee SugarGlider Jesus has nice nails, but it's he is still satan. Do what my mom suggested, and loudly say, "HUCKABEE I REBUKE THEE." Do not make eye contact or shake his hand.

Last night I displayed my love for my husband by agreeing to watch Chris Matthews for several hours, covering the Iowa Caucus. His thin, rubbery, chicken lips frighten me. I cannot look away as they glisten under the lights. I lose track of what's being said because I am fixated by his thin lip ribbons and the amount of spittle and spray they generate. But, yesterday, I took one for the team and said nary a word about the saliva fireworks pouring from his slit of a mouth.
I have used the result of 2004 as an excuse to engage in true political apathy. Things are heating up, however, and I can't lie and say I didn't feel a twinge of hope in my fossilized political heart last night.
It's at this point that I need to get right to the point and tell you, under no uncertain terms, that I believe Huckabee to be the tool of Satan. Now, I don't actually believe in God, but I believe in Satan, and Huckabee is his meat puppet.
Huckabee appeared on Buffalo Beast's Most Loathsome People in America and they mean business. No "aw, shucks" bullshit routine is going to sway them.
If anyone wanted to actually photoshop something more artful, I'd be happy to post it. I have no ability to even somewhat gracefully attach a Huckabee head to a sugar glider's body. Make do. Let my words form the picture.
I particularly enjoyed how Huckabee had Chuck Norris and his hot wife front and center during his victory speech. Mama Huckabee has been shunted off to the side. But, hey, I guess she should just be grateful he let one member of his family on stage.
Talk about a fourth wheel
The other night I was eating in a Cuban restaurant when the piercing voice of a total ear rapist ruined my meal. I turned and saw that the voice was coming from a total skillet-face - the kind who cannot be shamed non-verbally into STFU. Triple bonus points because this girl was on what appeared to be a first date. Here are some pearls of political and racial wisdom that came from her very Caucasian mouth:
"Obama is just as much white as he is black. If he wins, it's not like a big deal for black people or anything."
"He was raised by white people, so he's pretty much just white."
"I'm just saying black people shouldn't be all about him because he's not really black."
I think Obama would be really hyped to hear that a white Columbia grad student on the Upper West Side has officially weighed in on his racial status as "not really black."
But I will depart from my usual negativity and say that this morning I am feeling long dormant pangs of hope.

Charges: What's worse, a calculating politician pretending to be a devout Christian, or a genuine heartland preacher who didn't come from no monkey? Huckabee is both -- a Southern Baptist who rejects Darwin, wants to give everyone a gun and thinks people with AIDS should be quarantined, and a seedy, corrupt politician who's never seen a payoff so low he won't stoop to pick it up. Democrats see Huckabee as easily defeated in a general election, but they shouldn't be so sure -- Smooth talking preachers tend to do well in this country. Huckabee is well-spoken, kind-faced, and the opposite of wordly -- he's Obama for hicks.Genius. However, I really feel that the artist responsible for the piece could have done more with that text than have this goober's face poking out of a corn field. This is what I would have liked to see: Huckabee soaring through the air, his pliant, supple folds of excess flesh volplaning him across the heartland where swarms of calico-clad homeschooled virgins breathlessly await their shepherd, hands in the air, giving praise to the Great Huckabee Sugar Glider in the Sky.Exhibit A: "I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives... I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ."
Sentence: Just as he's about to win the GOP nomination, a freak gust of wind catches Huckabee's excess skin and carries him out over the Atlantic, where he drifts for hours before God appears to him, tells him He's a Unitarian, and sends him to hell.

Last night was another watershed moment in Diana sleep history. I got into bed at 11 p.m. and woke up at 7 a.m. Do you know what I look like after this sort of solid sleep on a work night? This is an Olan Mills artist's rendering.
Me + 8-plus-hours-of-sleep = Not Committing Assault
And, yet, I still had to rub my eyes and throw coffee down my gullet after finding out there are a series of "How to Date a [INSERT RACE, GENDER]" available on Amazon.com.
Going visual with the mystical, rare creature in her natural, back-lit habitat.
Perhaps Ming Tang would have been a more appropriate pen name.
It gave me a Stephanie Tanner spit-take-heart-attack. Here are some helpful words of wisdom to all of you seeking to swim in a different sea:

Learn how Black women think, what they like and don’t like to see in White men, and where and how to go about meeting them.
