Something like 15% of American citizens believe Barack Obama is Muslim.  Including the woman in this video.  But I'm not posting this clip to make fun of her.  I mean, the woman does say she's a Hillary supporter!  (Okay, maybe I'm making a bit of fun. )

At any rate, even when it has nothing to do with her, it sort of feels like Sarah Palin week continues here on the Head Tale.  In fact, in a different multiverse, I think Sarah Palin could've been the woman in this clip.  And by the way, did you ever notice that Sarah Palin is an anagram for Sarah Plain?  Didya?  (Er, also "PS Anal Hair" )

You may have seen the original viral video...





But have you seen the Sarah Palin mash-up "highlighting" her recent interview with Katie Couric?





And since we're on the topic (again - what is the strange fascination I have with this woman?)





And one more. I mean, thank GOD that she's been blessed against witchcraft. She's like the gift that just keeps giving. So freaking crazy.



View Article  I Am A Mac!




A great response by Bill Gate$ (finally) but too little too late...

After getting the word that they would not be able to bring my PC back to life for a reasonable cost (fried motherboard - mmm, tasty!), I went out today and took the plunge. I am now the proud (if slightly nervous) owner of a MacBook Pro.

Random thoughts and questions I'll be searching for answers to in the next day or two (answers greatly appreciated!)...

- did I need the Pro? I decided to go for it for the bigger monitor, the bigger HD (I know I could've special ordered a bigger HD in a regular MacBook but I've also been waiting for over two weeks for final word about my PC laptop so I just wanted to get the new machine and get rolling.)
- where are the "Home" and "End" keys?
- on a PC, you (should) use the "Safely Remove Hardware" button when removing USB drivers, cameras, etc. Is there something similar to be done on a Mac?
- I've downloaded Firefox and it mostly looks the same but for some reason, it's not showing me the full panel of controls for this blog so this post may be in Times instead of Arial. (I think I have to do a bunch of system updates to get everything up-to-date. I'll do that after I post this and see if it fixes things.)
- how do I get something off the dashboard?
- how do I see how much space I have on the hard drive? (And is there even a right-click on MacBooks?)

Oh, and completely unrelated to my MacBook purchase, my hosting package is due for renewal today and not letting me do it online for some reason. So this blog may be down tomorrow depending on what I can do tonight. (With the renewal looming and then, my other computing crashed, I gave some serious thought to whether I wanted to keep the blog going. I think I'll keep it going for the time being and maybe re-assess again next yar.)

Anyhow, so far, nothing insurmountable and man, I feel cooler and more creative already! ;-)
View Article  Noted Pundit Matt Damon Weighs In On The Sarah Palin Choice
Pretty funny clip and Damon does mention the thing about her banning books so that's cool!  Oh, but if you've seen an e-mail flying around supposedly listing the books she tried to ban, that's false. 

Too bad but if you look at the list, it basically looks like the ALA's "
100 Most Challenged Books of the Last Decade" list, that's probably not a surprise.  My guess is that the more likely story is that she tried to a few books that didn't conform to her religious views.


My web site dedicated to four great Canadian singer-songwriters (but currently only featuring guitar tab for two of them - Fred Eaglesmith and Hawksley Workman.)
