Friday Big Blue Smurf blogging: What They Said

Sorry about the light blogging, folks. I am trying mightily to get used to a new schedule that has me leaving the house over an hour earlier than I used to, waking up a half-hour earlier, and then spending the day stuffing so much information into my brain that fully-formed words are leaking out of my ears like cut-and-pasted ransom notes. So for a while at least, I'll be trying to post one or two rants in the morning and another few in the evening.

So we've had to rely on feedback from other bloggers, and today's honoree is the newly discovered, newly addded, and charmingly-named Boiling Mad, who was as nauseated as I was by Sarah Palin's Annie Oakleyisms, and opines:

Anyone who says Palin came off as anything resembling smart is full of s---. Listen to these phrases:

"I'll betcha"
"cravin' somethin' new"
"darn right"
"back ya' up"
"doggone it"

If Obama resorted to leaning on Ebonics the way Palin leaned on the redneck dialect, conservatives would be calling him the n-word.
