The Palin-o-lithic Diet
November 19, 2009 | 32 Comments

“If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat? I love meat. I eat pork chops, thick bacon burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there’s plenty of room for all Alaska’s animals—right next to the mashed potatoes.”
says Sarah Palin in Going Rouge Rogue.
You betcha. Also.
Seriously. How many assumptions can one count in that single paragraph?
1. There’s a God.
2. It’s a “He”.
3. That God gives a damn about what Moose-o-lini loves.
4. A vegan would willingly go to her house for dinner.
5. Vegans don’t expect anything more than salad when they accept a dinner invite.
6. What a privilege it would be to be treated to that bonus God lecture.
Now, that leaves me wondering:
If God didn’t want me to infer that being a carnivore impedes brain function, why did He create Sarah Palin?

P.S.: Thanks for all your concern and enquiries about my hand surgery. I had a thorn in there two months ago that punctured and infected a vein and led to a blood clot. I got it attended to yesterday and should be back to 100% normal in a week. Thanks again for asking.

I knew it. After her book release, I had to see something in Bee’s blog about Palin. hahaha..nice excerpt taken.
Great post – thanks for a good laugh and the observations. Love it. Looking forward to reading more here. I think I started at some point then forgot to come back for more!
I can’t stand Palin. So, I love, love, love, love, love this post.
And every argument presented there too.
ugh.
I like how you put it.
I am sure you would enjoy this…

“If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat? ” That is Classic nonsensical Palin. Seriously, I doubt if she knows she is also made out of meat…

Glad you are getting better…

)))))) Seriously WOW…. cant believe she said that… but then that’s Palin for u !!!
)))
Thanks again for a nice post !

all I can say is I hope I dont ever see President Sarah, wow writing this gives me goose bumps
hahahaha! for the post!
Thank God – Take care and heal soon! – for the end note!
Hi Bee, I’ve been away for blog hopping for a few weeks. Very sorry to hear about your hand. Sounds like you’re much better now – glad that you are well.
Hope you get better real real soon!
hehe….. good one bee… Even I wonder why God created her.. Glad to know that you are feeling better. Take care..
This is so funny . Had a good laugh . I cant believe she really said that .
Haha, Bee, please be kind to those you are not very endowed up there..they know not what they say..hehe
glad that the thorn is out but the claws are intact!! get well girl!!
Good one!! love the last quote!
Am unable to post comments… and will still try… nurse your hand and enjoy the “time” while it lasts
I’m still laughing!
Nice post Bee! take care and get well soon!!!!
Best regards,
Veda
Glad your hand is on the mend and pleased to see none of the clottiness affected your sharp wit along the way.
I’d just as likely buy or read a Palin book as I would one by Shrub (G W Bush). I extend my extreme empathy to all the rest of the folks in Alaska as they are now putting up with what Texans have endured for about a decade now – being painted with the same brush as their most (in)famous self appointed resident/pundit.
I have one word in answer to all this:VOTE!
Politics do not belong in the food portion of your site. Please put them in “Musings” or elsewhere. Thank you.
i’m sure you’ll find dr. marion nestle’s site very educational.
and all the others on this list.
Good one. I have a habit of collecting quotations that I find interesting, humorous or thought provoking. I hope you dont mind me adding yours to that collection…:)
Nice post, Bee. Glad to hear your hand will heal soon.
Hilarious. I love your final inference, too! And so glad to hear that your hand is on the mend. Sounds as if it could have been scary!
Just don’t be so harsh on her. Those are her opinions she is entitled to ..
Love that quote (your’s, not palin’s) …Just tweeted this article.
BTW Glad you are doing better with your hand.
Glad to know your hand is feeling better. Hugs to you.
As for the Palin lady …..
Wow, look what I missed! I hope your hand recovers quickly, and as for Sarah, well, no comment. (Eeeeek!)
Hope you have made a full recovery – that must have been painful!
Hope you are feeling better now.
When people ask what vegetarians eat about from salad, I tell them that there are at least around 300 Veg. indian dishes. How people tolerate her … I do not know.
Glad to see your doing better
“If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”
In other news – Sarah Palin endorses cannibalism.
