STRATEGY NEEDED: How to help Sarah Palin and her family with their stalker, and new neighbor, Creepy McGinniss
We want you to put your thinking caps on today, and to help think of ways to defeat the Palins’ stalker, Creepy McGinniss — an author who has rented the house next to theirs so he can peep into little Piper’s window, spy on the Governor as she works in her garden, and generally be gross and stalkerish for the next five months. Maybe he’ll even pose for Playgirl, too. That’s what the louses who normally stalk the Palins do.
Here’s the dilemma: our gut is that book publishers love controversy, so Random House, which is funding this misadventure, would love any publicity it can get for McGinniss’ upcoming tome. Therefore, we don’t know how much good a big letter writing campaign to Random House would do…especially if it makes the execs there think they’ve got a hit on their hands, with all these people generating buzz about the project.
Our next thought is to maybe go a side route here, and organize some kind of boycott of Rand House’s current titles…to show the company that its support of McGinniss is detrimentally impacting the sale of other Random House authors.
But, boycotts are hard to launch and manage, and Random House has so many titles in print, we don’t know how effective this would be in terms of targeting which particular authors.
Can a lease be ended early if a homeowner wants to end it?
That’s our next thought: who owns the house next to the Palins…perhaps that person can be shamed into evicting McGinniss, for being so creepy.
Maybe THAT’S who should be receiving mail from thousands of people coast to coast…the person who rented this house to the creep.
Because the creep isn’t going to budge on his own. We doubt Random House is going to budge on its own. So, we need to find a creative angle upon which to apply pressure if we want to help the Palins have a decent, Wasilla summer free from peepers and whackadoodles next door.
Any ideas?

UPDATE: The part that really bothers us about all of this is that this man, Joe McGinniss, has been seen with binoculars trying to peep into Piper’s window.
Random House SHOULD have a real problem with that.
Does McGinniss have any family that could possibly talk to him about how this whole project is coming off?
What does McGinniss’ family have to think of him peeping into a prepubescent girl’s window?
Can’t someone he know talk some sense into him to abandon this effort, just to end the impression he’s up to something truly very creepy like this?
Could Obama's epic fail in the Gulf make James Carville turn against Democrats?
James Carville loves Louisana the way we love Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Texas — some of our own home towns and states. You don’t mess with Texas, and you don’t f*** with Cleveland, not on our watches. No matter how old we get, or what city we currently live in, we have that strong attachment to where we came from — and we would do anything we could to strike back against those who hurt our home towns in any way.
So, that makes us wonder what’s going through the mind of Ragin’ Cajun James Carville — Democrat operative to the core, but Louisiana native at his heart.
Carville’s an interesting bird, to put it mildly. He’s a loyal Clintonite, until he isn’t. He opposed Dr. Utopia, our global Lightbringer, in the primaries, until he embraced him in the general election and carried water for him ever since. He’s an opportunist more than he’s a patriotic American. More than a little of him’s been left out in the sun too long, like spicy mayonnaise with a salmonella kick.
But, the one thing he’s always been consistent with is his love of the bayous, swamps, and all things Louisiana.
Which the Obama White House has more or less destroyed through chaos and ineptitude.
Remember, people, when Obama campaigned in 2008 he stood on pedestals in the capitals of Europe and declared himself to be sent from the stars to “lower the oceans, plug the hole in the ozone, and usher in a new era of Hope and Change”. He waived his hand, Christ-like, and klieg lights ignited from the stage, the way the band members of KISS used to do, only with less makeup and better costuming.
The Left often depicted Obama as Superman — more than a politician, a demigod at the least, able to do everything better, faster, and more biracial than any president before him.
Commanding the full heft of the very federal government the Left is always trying to make bigger, Obama should have, in Superman style, zipped down to Louisiana in Air Force One…you know, the plane he takes everywhere else, when he wants to bow and scrape before foreign heads of state or talk about how unexceptional America should be….and showed us some of that superhuman, messianic, magic he’s allegedly so chock full of.
Where’s the Lightbringing when Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and other Gulf states need it?
Forget about lowering the oceans, what about “plugging that damn hole” (using the current president’s own words)?
Hell, Joe Biden knows a thing or eleventy about plugs — and Obama didn’t even send him to be the “sheriff” of solving the Gulf oil spill and preventing catastrophic disaster in Louisiana.
If Democrats believe they can solve everyone’s problems and manage all of our lives better than we personally can…and if Obama Democrats in particular now control this entire country (thanks a lot, conservatives who sat out 2008 to “teach the GOP a lesson”)…then why is the federal government sitting on the sidelines while BP struggles to get a handle on this mess? What are those star destroyers waiting for (using Lando Calrissian’s own words)?
It doesn’t make a damn bit of sense.
Whether BP’s at fault or not, Obama, the Lightbringer, the demigod Oprah dubbed “The One”, commands the greatest military this planet has ever seen, including the most advanced navy to ever sail the seas. Obama is in charge of FEMA, which is the massive bureaucracy charged with managing emergencies. Obama was elected because the Lamestream Media said he alone had the ability to get things done, using his superhuman charm and oratory skills to convince choirs of angels to descend from the Heavens and do most of the work for us.
Where are all of the promised benefits of electing Obama to the highest office in the land?
When is the Lightbringer ever going to deliver?
Or, is that Liebringer?
All we know is, if something horrible happened to Cleveland, like it was captured by aliens and bottled up in a bell jar or something, and Obama decided to go on vacation or kept throwing fancy parties at the White House instead of uncharacteristically getting off his privileged ass and doing something 24/7 about it, we’d spend the rest of our lives working to bring that fraud down. Which is what we do now, but more so if Cleveland went the way of Kandor.
So, what’s James Carville going to do moving forward, now that Obama’s fumbled all efforts to save Louisiana?
How does Carville feel seeing Obama trot off on another vacation — the SECOND he’s taken in a month?
Who’s Carville going to choose…the Democrat Party, or his home state?
What think you?
Question: What do you know about Mary Todd Lincoln?
Calling all researchers and history buffs — what do you know about Mary Todd Lincoln?
What lessons could she teach our current First Spouse, in terms of behavior, patriotism, fashion, and generally being a good and decent person?
Help Chrissy the Hyphenated create another episode of Class vs. Crass by filling this thread with facts, articles, pictures, and other sources on Mary Todd Lincoln — and anything Michelle Obama did that would contrast well with something Mrs. Lincoln was known for.
