My carefully cultivated, tenaciously defended and mercilessly brandished hipster credentials require me to decry 99.9(repeating)% of all greatest hits collections. However, this is that one in a gazillion exception, which only proves my point. And the rule. Ergo:
Shit, I might even go in for the box set when satire’s assassin retreats to Alaska after November 4th.

Random rules, indeed.

It’s too good. I get hives.

Great song curv3ball. I’m not going to even bother with the rest of the post.
Slowly screwing my way across Europe/they had to make a correction…

It’s hard to choose which is better:
1. The chirpy evasion (“I’ll get back to ya”. “All of them.”)
2. The word-salad non-answer (“…job creation…one-in-five…reform…”)
3. The kindergarten-teacher-talking-to-her- favorite-retarded-student condescension (“Alaska, you know, is not a foreign country…” “When Putin rears his head, what does he come into?…It’s Alaska!”)
I live for the day she confuses the newspaper answer with the Supreme Court answer. Thus:
Q: Which, other than Rowe-v-Wade, do you disagree with?
A: All of them.

Wow. I had seen all those clips individually and while cringe-worthy, their power was reduced by the daily interruptions of life. Seeing them again in this concentrated, Voltron-of-Stupidity form has caused me to have a slight panic attack (contemplating that Palin might become president).

Win for “satire’s assassin” – a Google original.

If this politics thing doesn’t work out she should consider a career in television. I’m imagining a show in which every week Bill Cosby interviews her on some current events topic and mugs for the camera in reaction to her answers.

What I’m really looking forward to is the ‘revitalized’ GOP running her for preznit in 2012. Teh funnies will write demselfs.

Dang, if only she were just as incoherent when she went around firing people she didn’t like…

Hipster cred or no, there are definitely bands from which the greatest hits collection is tolerable, while the “real” full-length records are not.
A few examples to get the argument started: Journey, T. Rex, any band named after a city or state, John Denver, Fishbone, Rush.

“…any band named after a city or state, John Denver…”
Point taken, if redundant
October 2, 2008 at 2:36 pm
[...] Rush
Them’s fightin’ words.

Does Asia count?
October 2, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Boston.

Speaking of drugs, I finally saw Rush (the movie) with Eric Clapton’s soundtrack. I had the music but had never seen the film.
Aside from the fact that a very hot Cat Stevens look-alike was standing around naked, shooting up dope and fucking for 120 minutes, I’m wondering what the consensus review of it is. The movie, not the dopefucking. I liked that part.

Oh shit, what has happened here?
October 3, 2008 at 4:23 am
Hm. I was about to mention Steely Dan’s Greatest Hits but then I remembered the unconscionable ommission of “Gaucho.”

Unfortunately, “them’s fightin’ words” are not, in fact, words with any fight in them. You’ve gone and done the comments-thread equivalent of saying “we fully support the sovereignty of the sovereign nation of sovereign Georgia.”
Yes, the city of Asia, together with the band named after it, counts.
I’m sure it will be on “Yacht Rock, Vol. 2″ whenever K-Tel finally gets around to releasing the inevitable. And K-tel is (was?) sort of the greatest hits of Greatest Hits, so you’re covered.

Yes, she’s stupid, with that deep, intransigent, arrogance of the ‘saved.’ Sut she’ll bring “bible-study moms” in their hundreds of thousands to the polls because they want to go to church with Stoopid. And she’s fattening the GOPuke coffers with the donations of the “faithful.”
Plus, there’s that demographic (about 40% of USer voters), themselves dumber than runny shit, who want nothing more than to feel themselves the equal if not the better of their “leaders.” These people LOVE the transparent stupidity of the Palinosaur, because she makes ‘em feel superior.
