Porn producer, Larry Flynt, is making a porno all about the one and only Sarah Palin. The search on Craigslist, yes seriously, has ended. Flynt found his leading lady and the movie is now in pre-production.

“Nailin’ Paylin” has been put on rapid production so it arrives within the next month before the election. There are plans for a threeway with Hilary and Condoleezza look-alikes.

The faux Sarah is Lisa Ann (SEE BELOW), who “will be nailing the Russians who come knocking on her back-door.” In another scene (a flashback) “young Paylin’s creationist college professor will explain a ‘big bang’ theory even she can’t deny!”

There’s a reason why Hunter S. Thompson thought fairly well of George McGovern (well, for a politician anyway…) - his idealism didn’t stand in the way of his reason. (Maybe. It’s been a while since I read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72. I kinda forget the details, except the part where Thompson talked football with Nixon). Now once-Democratic Presidnetial candidate George McGovern, a longtime Clinton supporter, has pulled his endorsement and is now backing Barack Obama.

From Times OnLine:

Senator McGovern had been a high profile Hillary Clinton supporter but today he insisted that she had virtually no chance of winning. The 1972 Democratic presidential nominee said he was endorsing Senator Barack Obama after studying the returns from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries.

“I will hold them in affection and admiration all of my days,” he said of the Clintons, close friends from his early political career.

“She has run a valiant campaign. Hillary, of course, will make the decision as to if and when she ends her campaign. But I hope that she reaches that decision soon so that we can concentrate on a unified party capable of winning the White House next November.”

From the BBC:

“The Scotsman newspaper quoted Ms Power as saying: “She is a monster, too - that is off the record - she is stooping to anything.”

Obama Adviser Samantha Power Resigns, but it’s too early in the morning to process politics. Before my first cup of coffee, I thought in terms of spin:

Sam Power is a Pulitzer Prize winner - certainly she knows nothing is off the record — especially juicy quotes — and this episode of her resigning is a highly calculated move. It shows Obama taking the moral high ground and forcing anyone in his camp who slings mud to resign, showing him as the moral candidate and better choice as leader.
And me pointing this out as a strategic move not done for morals, but politics, would mean that I’m for Clinton. But since I’m actually for Obama, and that this whole post seems to actually vilify Obama for his duplicity, it’s real purpose is making more Obama fans rush to his aid and defend him. But really, I hope Obama is a little duplicitous because it’s a cut throat world and we need our leader to have some cunning.

See isn’t politics fun?

Now that I’m having my coffee and have had a moment to discuss this with one of the Synthesis office’s sages, I of course realize that I’m too dumb for politics, or maybe not dumb enough for politics, and that I should just drink my coffee and find out what cool bands from Norway will be playing SXSW in Austin next week.

Dude got high. Way high.

Sir Edmund Hillary, the explorer from New Zealand who achieved worldwide fame in 1953 for being the first person (along with his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay) in recorded history to ascend the summit top of Mt. Everest, succumbed to heart failure earlier today. He was 88 years old.

Sir Edmund Hillary was a beekeeper, philanthropist, author, and was way cooler than Hillary Clinton and her (most likely) carefully orchestrated “Oprah moment.”

(This photo was taken by Edmund Hillary at the top of the world, since his companion, Tenzing Norgay did not know how to operate a camera.)
