Bullseye, Sarah

Taken from Sarah Palin's site (because it wouldn't surprise us if this image disappears soon UPDATE: surprise surprise, the site was pulled by Palin&Co just minutes after your author visited...fortunately the images below now seem to be splashed across about a squillion web pages). The lower crosswires of the three in Arizona is aimed directly at Gabrielle Giffords.

Here's another pictorial special, just to underline Sarah Palin's wishes:


Don't worry, it's probably all part of God's plan.

UPDATE: Here's one of those quotes that float back at times like these. On March 25th 2010, Gabrielle Giffords said the following: "Sarah Palin has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district and when people do that, they’ve gotta realize there are consequences to that action."

No further comment.

UPDATE 2: Holy crap, the incitement of the AZ Tea Party was this blatant. From Andrew Sullivan:

 UPDATE 3: Looks like the guy arrested for the shooting has a youtube site. And he's a whacko.

Bolivia 6, Argentina 1: Here are all the goals

This is not an April Fool's joke.



Bolivia has just beaten Argentina 6-1 in La Paz and here's a 2 1/2 minute youtube with all the goals. To put it into context, this is the equal worst result ever for the Argentina national team. They lost 6-1 to Czechoslovakia back in 1958 at the Sweden World Cup finals. There was also the famous 5-0 defeat at home to Colombia in 1993. In other words, today is one to remember for soccer afficionados. Welcome to international level football management, Diego.

As for Evo Morales, he got on a plane from Qatar early and made a 15 hour flight back to Bolivia specifically so that he could get to the game on time. His reaction, according to this report, can't really be translated but it's still great. "¡Que goleada, papá!"
