Very funny -- and pretty right-on: How to recognize the artist behind the painting.

Sarah Palin is just the gift that keeps on giving! Now Bible Spice is doing her own digital channel. Now, you, too, can watch a video version of Sarah Palin's Facebook page, at ten dollars a month! (I give this two months, tops.)

From the article: "[Former NBC TV personality, Jeff] Gaspin told the Hollywood Reporter that he wanted "to come up with channels that were talent-based and that were really geared toward the super fan."

Talent-based? Then what, pray tell, would Bible Spice be doing? She actually has a talent? Other than making an idiot of herself, that is.

Whatever prompted her to do this? She must sit at home, gnashing her teeth, "Dammit! I will be relevant!"

Needs treatment for that rampant narcissism.

"Whatever prompted her to do this? She must sit at home, gnashing her teeth, "Dammit! I will be relevant!""

She is relevant. Silly Patrick. We all know you wish she wasn't. Seriously dude, get help.

Fascinating, Dave B. And you think I should get help? Perhaps, but not for this reason.

I find your responses utterly fascinating. I can think of no human being, none, that you could attack that would make me respond the way you do to attacks on Sarah Palin.

I like Al Franken's books, and thought them both hilarious and insightful. But you could post several paragraphs criticizing Al Franken, and I wouldn't go, "Ewwww....you're such a pissant...nyaah! You're so jealous, sneer...nyaah, because Al Franken is a Senator and has so much more money than you...nyaah!"

I'm a Christian Scientist. You could post every outrageous story you've ever heard about Mary Baker Eddy (the Founder of Christian Science) and I wouldn't sneer at you in that oily, unctuous way that you seem to have mastered.

But ridicule St. Sarah of Wasilla, and there is no insult great enough to hurl back at her attackers.

If I may be so blunt, I believe you're the one that needs help. If an attack on a human being that you don't even know and doesn't know that you even exist makes you react this way, you've got a problem, dude.

And despite the consummate lack of respect I have for him, I have to say that lujlp handled my attack on Sarah Palin far better than you did. He simply presented his opposing viewpoint clearly and concisely and let it go at that. Which would probably be much more effective at defusing my attacks on Palin than writhing in righteous indignation and sneering insults at me. Which simply gives me encouragement.

Return to your petri dish, specimen. I'll post more attacks on Sarah Palin at some future date, and you can amuse me again.

Well, little Patrick. I attack no one. You do. So I call you on your childish comments on Sarah Palin and you, not me, goes ballistic. You cannot live with the fact that she is relevant.

Look, pissant, why do you bring up Al Franken (my Senator, by the way) and the fact that you are a Christian Scientist. What do they have to do with my calling you out on your attacks on Sarah Palin?

I do not care if some little pissant like you does not like me calling him out for his childish attacks on Sarah Palin. You are so out of it with your anguish that you do not realize I have no reason to argue with some pissant's silly comments about Sarah Palin. There is no reason to try and counter something as stupid as your comment "Whatever prompted her to do this? She must sit at home, gnashing her teeth, "Dammit! I will be relevant!"" Dude, she is relevant and sadly you cannot live with that fact.

Internet Troll:

A person whose sole purpose in life is to seek out people to argue with on the internet over extremely trivial issues. Such arguments can happen on blogs, Facebook, Myspace and a host of others.

The best thing you can do to fight an internet troll is to not answer ... or report them.

Patrick,

Your posts yesterday and today are steadily leading you to be called a troll.

The argument whether Sarah Palin being relevant is an opinion issue with no solid factual answer. Now if you can bring some facts up, I'm more than willing to listen. As it stands you are posting your opinion and trying to bait us with our replies.

Give us a fact and we'll be more than willing to debate a subject. But your characterization of Sarah Palin is your opinions combined with bias from a left media. That does not make it a fact, it is merely an opinion with the significance of a "journalism degree" behind it.

Actually, it's you that cannot live with the fact that she is not relevant. She failed to help McCain in his run for the White House, and probably cost him some votes.

Her endorsement of political candidates has probably done more harm than good. Obama is still President.

I'll amend the teeth-gnashing statement, specimen. It's you that sits at home in your room gnashing your teeth, "Dammit! Sarah Palin is relevant!"

Though you can't seem to produce any evidence for this assertion.

Take heart, specimen. I will surely do my best to find something else about Bible Spice that deserves ridicule.

And I've already explained my reasons for mentioning Al Franken and the Founder of Christian Science. I am demonstrating that normal people do not go off the deep end merely because their idols are attacked. Say what you will about any human being you can think of. I would not respond with the sneering and rather creepy vitriol that comes up merely when someone does not speak kindly of Sarah Palin.

You are convincing me that you need professional help. You have an unhealthy obsession with Sarah Palin. You are driven to a frenzy whenever she's attacked, and she doesn't even care a thing about you. How could she, since she doesn't know you exist?

Oh, almost forgot, specimen. You wrote: "I attack no one."

Uh, reread your posts to me, specimen, then tell me you attack no one! Hilarious! I've never seen anyone so out of touch.

I grant I will probably listen to Sarah Palin's drivel over Nancy Pelosi's drivel. But that is like listening to any of the political drivel that comes out of Mordor on the Potomac. Please point to where I said Palin is relevant? I said it is an opinion of her status. There is no factual basis on either side. Please cite a fact and not an opinion peace.

Nowhere did I say she's more relevant than anyone else. That is an opinion held by any voter and wants to believe Palin over Pelosi.

You wrote: "I attack no one."

Please find where I personally called you a name? I said I disagreed with your idiocy. But please tell me where I actually insulted you?

And you still not have put a single fact on the table.

"Uh, reread your posts to me, specimen, then tell me you attack no one!"

I think the pissant is talking to me Jim P.

Oh, Patrick you are so silly. You said above: "Return to your petri dish, specimen. I'll post more attacks on Sarah Palin at some future date, and you can amuse me again." See, you admitted you attack, and will continue to attack, Sarah Palin. You did that first. I just commented on your childish attack on her I just do not see how I am the one attacking you. And you admit I just amuse you.

Look, little one, if you ever come up with a valid fact discussion of something Sarah Palin does I would probably not respond, or just do so to agree with you. To date, that has not happened that I recall. You just state your silly opinions of her. As I have stated before, when you do I will call you on it. In your world, that is an attack on you. In my world, it is not. It is kind of like poker, I'm calling your bullshit and will continue to do so. If you don't like it, stop doing your childish rants on Sarah Palin.

More exercises in futility I see. There must be an end somewhere, not that I can see it. Possibly when someone dies. But no, then there will be the post-mortem attacks, with the antogonist trying to prove invalid talking points. Yet again.

Have at it, kids. Gotta get your fun where you can, I guess.

Amy, that billboard placement would be most apropos on the Senate, House of Reps, and White House lawns. The occupants need the reminder.

Valar morghulis.

Darn! It looks like I missed out on the mud slinging contest.

Oh well, I'll be sure to join in next time.

And thanks for that first link Amy; I always knew there was some secret that "artsy" folks weren't telling us.
