The Mirror Crack’d

This morning I was pleased to see that Starbucks has brought back its holiday Lard Lattes. Once you’ve had an eggnog latte, it’s hard to go back to the regular off-season ones. They pull the holiday selection way too early in my opinion. I have attempted to order one in January only to hear that they’re not doing it anymore and I’m like BUT THE MAGI HAVEN’T EVEN COME YET. I enjoy sipping on my light whip latte while reflecting on the holiday season and curling up with a good book. And if I can’t find a good book, maybe I’ll pick up Going Rogue. (I actually am interested in reading this. Will put this on my Christmas list underneath NRA Wine of the Month Club.)

However, judging from the size of the crowds inhabiting Real America, I’m not sure there will be any copies left. It’s unbelievable. Sarah Palin has blown New Moon out of the water. She’s even inspiring women to go all Single White Female on her. Like this woman at the Borders in Noblesville, Indiana. The hair. The glasses. The outdoorsy gold quilted vest. Don’t you think Palin was just a little weirded out by meeting her doppelgänger face to face? Considering that doppelgängers are typically evil versions of our original selves, then there’s a more evil Sarah than Sarah. If these two combined forces, they could rule the world.

    Perhaps Sarah Palin from Alaska is the doppelganer of Sarah Palin from Indiana…

    Wow. Pretty creepy stuff. Not the Palin look-alike, but that monochromatic crowd.

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Sarah thy Gov am a jealous Gov, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

    It’ll be easier once your ass is too fat to fit through the door at Starbucks… JUST SAYIN.

    I’m still laughing about those 150 or so people in Indiana that spent 9 hours in the cold and rain to get a book signed just to have Sarah quit on them halfway through.

    The video of them shouting and booing at her bus while it took off was awesome. The non-apology apology that followed was even more hilarious. She had to be “told” that there were people on the other side of the tour bus window who were quite upset with her.

    The day Sarah Palin gets elected to any national office is the day I flee the US seeking political asylum in Tierra del Fuego. And the Mayans will have truly predicted the end of the world in 2012.

    Gold quilted vest? Obviously she missed the salmon trimmed in wolf fur fashion memo.

    The glasses and bump-it hair foofy were expected, but I was stunned at the gold quilted outre’ fashion statement. Did this bold look-alike out-Sarah the Sarah?(Not my particular look, but Santa baby, if you bring it to me all downy and Burberry-ish, I will go there).

    I will be visiting a friend in Noblesville next month en route to a press check in Ft. Wayne. I will give Fake Sarah our love. And by love, I mean hate.
