Mrs. Sarah Palin, former Temp-Governor of Alaska, gave a stirring speech to 400 disgruntled citizens in Nashville the other day. Her words were so profound that we reproduce them in full, from Mrs. Palin’s personal text:
NASA’s Evel Knievel Memorial Space Stunt Program aims at putting humans in space for the scientific purpose of … putting humans in space. Italy now brings some European sophistication to this effort.
NASA’s idea of “sophistication” was spelling the name of a space shuttle “Endeavour” instead of “Endeavor” back in 1987. Monday morning the same creaking craft hurled aloft with improvements for the International Space Shoppes (ISS).
Europe is opening two new Space Shoppes modules, the utilitarian Tranquility and the stylish Cupola. The latter (pictured above) offers diners scenic space vistas, and will complement the Asian fare of Japan’s austere Kibo Noodle Shop.
With Cupola in place, the ISS Food Court of Nations will be virtually complete. Thank goodness the International Space Toilet was repaired. Twice.

There was only one word for Sunday’s big game: rough ruff. In the history of football, there has never been a contest like Super Bowl XLIV Puppy Bowl VI.
This year’s halftime show was distinctly disappointing, and the choice of MVP controversial, but the game surely advanced the state of play. Treats and belly rubs for both teams.
No puppies, kitties, hamsters or lop-earred bunnies were harmed during the game. It’s Animal Planet, people.

Many people suggest healthy, nutritious snacks for this Sunday. Balderdash.
Healthy snacks for Super Bowl Sunday, the collective national rite where real Americans drive drunk to gather on home couches and watch 300-pound men with enlarged hearts give each other concussions and torn ligaments live on digital television? Hardly. Save those healthy snacks for watching touch football or cricket.
Sunday’s menu is a single word: Pizza.
The last two courses of DC Meat Week will be postponed due to impending Snowmageddon, a condition known elsewhere in the country as “winter.” It is snowing in the Nation’s Capital, and residents are hunkered down in basements stacking up cans of soup, Spam™. tuna, and Sterno™ and creating huge walls of toiletpaper rolls. Bureaucrats left work early today and schools are closed. Congress is unaffected; elected federal legislators only work Tuesday through Thursday anyway (the rest of the time they raise money for relection).
Oh, right, DC Meat Week. Tonight’s Branded ‘72 dinner and tomorrow’s carnivorous convocation at Mr. P’s Ribs and Fish will be rescheduled. Keep a weather eye on Capital Spice for updates.

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford attended Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast, the annual shindig thrown by his C Street pals. He took the official state airplane, of course. Fellow adulterer John Ensign was also in the congregation.
The Governor may have spend a day with the Good Book, but Friday is the release date of another publication, one written by his estranged wife, Jenny Sanford. First reviews describe Mrs. Sanford’s memoir, Keeping Faith, as honest and dignified, traits not shared by her philandering husband.
Washington-born giant panda Tai Shan is apparently at Dulles Airport, waiting for cousin Mei Lan to arrive from Atlanta on the FedEx Panda Express. The two are scheduled to depart this morning for a romantic panda breeding station in Chengdu, China. Remember: Valentine’s Day is only ten days away — order your juicy bamboo gifts now.

Today Dulles Airport will experience a brief royal visit by Atlanta’s panda princess, Mei Lan. The three-year-old cub is on her way from Zoo Atlanta to China, where she will take Chinese lessons and seek romance at a panda breeding station in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
Mei Lan’s older cousin, Tai Shan, will join her on the private plane for the last leg of her journey.
