Default Sarah Palin arrives for Mandela funeral...


Sarah Palin Arrives in South Korea for Mandela Memorial
Dec 10, 2013

Sarah Palin disembarked from a plane in Seoul, South Korea today
expecting to attend the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.

According to local reports the former Alaskan governor and Republican
Vice-Presidential candidate arrived on Asiana flight 459 from Anchorage
at 6:30 am local time and took nearly a half-hour to realize that she
had flown to the wrong country.

Palin was one of many world leaders expected to attend Mandela's
memorial today - which is being held in Johannesburg, South Africa - but
she will now unlikely be able to get to the ceremony in time.

OK...it's a spoof, from the Daily Currant.

This one is funnier:


Sarah Palin Claims Jesus Celebrated Easter

Sarah Palin claimed today that Jesus Christ celebrated Easter during his
time on Earth.

In an interview with Fox and Friends this morning, the former Alaska
governor promoted her new book about the left's "war on Christmas" and
argued that all Christian holidays should return to the traditional
versions practiced by Jesus.

"It makes me so gosh darn angry," Palin explained. "The liberal left in
this country has targeted Christian holidays and is trying to secularize
them right out of existence.

"When Jesus celebrated Easter with his disciples there were no Easter
bunnies or egg hunts. There were no Easter sales at department stores or
parades in the street. Easter was a special time of prayer and Christian
activism.

"Jesus would gather all the townspeople around and would listen to their
stories about the meaning of Easter in their lives. Then he would teach
them how to love one another, how to protest Roman abortion clinics and
how to properly convert homosexuals.

"You can't even do things like that these days without getting called
out by some wacko left-wing human rights group. Christians had more
freedom under Roman rule than we do now in our own country! We need to
return Easter back to the way it was when Jesus was alive."

Gospel of Palin

Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus
Christ on the third day after he was crucified by the Romans in the 1st
century A.D. It is the most important holiday for Eastern and Orthodox
Christians, and also has great significance in the West.

Because Easter is a celebration of Jesus's resurrection from the dead,
it is highly unlikely that he celebrated the holiday before his death.
Its first recorded instance is sometime in the mid-2nd century. This
seemingly obvious fact was not lost on the Fox and Friends team, who
instantly challenged Palin's assertions.

"Sarah, you know that we love you," started co-host Brian Kilmeade. "I
can understand if you think Christian holidays have become too secular
and you want to return to the days of the early church. But you have to
know that Jesus never celebrated Easter right? I mean you have to know
that. What do you think Easter celebrates?"

"Well, Brian, Easter celebrates, you know, sticking it to all the
liberal lefties out there who want to be taking our guns and our
freedom," Palin responded. "It celebrates the rights of the unborn and
the right to religious freedom, to not have government come in and tell
you who to believe in and who not to ..."

"It celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus," Kilmeade
interrupted. "It celebrates his death and resurrection from the dead.
Now Sarah, tell me how can Jesus celebrate his own death before he died?"

Palin stared blankly into the screen for about 15 seconds, before
co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck cut to commercial.



Religion: together we can find the cure.
