A dumb cluck trying to pimp his upcoming book
Christopher Ketcham contributes to GQ, Vanity Fair, Harper's and many online publications. He is writing a book on American secessionism. christopherketcham.com
writes on the "all-American" subject of state secession, in conjunction w/ Sarah "The Moose-Eating Barracuda"
Palin's affiliation w/ & appreciation of the Alaskan Independence Party in today's
L. A. Times.
He thinks
secessionism is a American as
a lynch partysorry, apple pie.
Secession worries the staid opinion gatekeepers of the major media. Sarah Palin's "flirtation" with the AIP should make us "uneasy," as Rosa Brooks warned in these pages. Palin's secessionist ties raise "serious questions," averred the New York Times. A more honest assessment is that the separatism of the Alaskan Independence Party is not so weird or wacky -- or out of keeping with what appears to be a sentiment rooted in that loveliest of American predilections, our crotchety contrarianism.
Maybe so. It wouldn't kill us (immediately) here at Just Another Blog (From L. A.)™ to secede from these United Snakes. (Imagine: gay marriage, reasonable dope laws, general pinko West Coast freedom of & from the repressive whatnot of the dolts living too far from the oceans. Also imagine China/Russia/India/Brazil deciding to help themselves to California. Just whose army, navy, air force & marines are going to stop them?)
But the point w/ slimy Sarah P. is that she's on the ticket w/
überpatriot John McCain, whose slogan is "Country First." Well, sometimes it's "Reform, Prosperity, Peace." ("Mr. Orwell, to the white courtesy 'phone, please. Mr. Orwell, paging Mr. Orwell.") Seems somewhat odd for Mme.
Moosemurder to be all for the
AIP, while claiming to place "Country First," doesn't it, Mr. Ketcham, you fucking dolt?
