SNL has booked Queen Latifah to portray Gwen Ifill

hee!

This is from last week, but I missed it then.

Tina Fey fought to not do ‘SNL’ Palin skit [link]

Also from that article:

While Gov. Palin herself reportedly enjoyed the impersonation, John McCain advisor Carly Fiorina called Fey’s portrayal “sexist.” So what did Tina think about that response? Apparently, not much.

“I saw one lady trying to form a thought that it was sexist on the news but she didn’t get it together, probably because she was a lady and she was dumb,” Fey said. “Wait is that sexist?”

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, it kind of makes me sad that people compare Qualin to Marge. I like Marge. She's *good* at her job and never uses her bump as a prop. I read the Rolling Stone thing and thought "God, I hope when I'm seventy, I'm still not thinking about how my dad's a dick." But I'm not over it. Biden got me all choked up yesterday.

“Not dead yet!”

This line had me snorfling Diet Coke

“Sarah Palin has a crazy voice. I would say, not since ‘Sling Blade’ has there been a person who’s really easy to imitate, so I got really lucky on that one,” Fey said.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'd like to see an Onion article about outraged Minnasotans and Wisconsinians - angry that people say they sound like Palin, when it is clear that SHE sounds like them, except "not really, it is totally different, she sounds weird.".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Heee! What a great story idea.

Thanks. I see now all I needed was a bit of buffistas perspective.

Ooops. I forgot. Shouldn't swig and post.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One of my students just wrote that Ridley Scott was knighted by Queen Victoria.

Heee! What a great story idea.

Zombie Queen Victoria or time-traveling Ridley Scott?

Why not both?

Art Crawl!!!

Apparently, Couric annoyed Palin - that explains it all, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, the main task I need to be doing today is my absolute least favorite job thing ever. I can sort of ignore it until Monday, but then I could be screwed on Monday. Ugh! I hate stupid work tasks that I hate!
