Craigslist: Trash or Treasure Part II

It’s time once again to wow you with OOO’s and AAHHH’s in this month’s installment of “Craigslist: Trash or Treasure.” For anyone not familiar with my little Craigslist review, you can check out my other post here. Ok, so I’m scanning through Craigslist trying to get my “funny on” because my life right now is really in the shitter and nothing cheers me up (or pisses me off) more than looking at what other people are trying to sell. Oh yes, I have seen some beauties out there and I am always amazed at how they think their crap is worth its weight in gold. Now to spare the sellers unnecessary ridicule, I have left off their contact information, but I do list EXACTLY what they say in the ad.

Here we go:

Great Condition, Couch, Loveseat, and Chair, Mediterranian Style-Gold Velvet with wood. Firm cushions-comfortable. Couch is 93″, Loveseat is 59″. Only asking $555.00 for the set. For details, please respond to this ad or call (***) ***-****. Thanks for looking.

Would you purchase this set for $555.00? What the hell is this person smoking? You can see the dust on the couch wood and there is a general “haze” when viewing the pictures. I thought I was gonna throw up looking at that carpet too. How much do you think this set is worth? I don’t give a rats ass how much they originally paid for it, because there are furniture clearance centers that are selling brand new furniture for $555.00!

Here is an example of a set that you can get BRAND NEW!!!

Bald Beauty of the Day

Sarah Palin Maddness

I’m not quite sure of what to make of Gov. Sarah Palin. I have tried very hard to stay away from this topic, but I guess I am just one of those bored bloggers that has nothing better to do with my life than to write about her. So here I am writing about the ever so “popular” Sarah Palin. People either love her or they hate her. It’s funny because I don’t love her or hate her. I’m indifferent. I would never in a million years vote for her though, I can tell you that much.

What is the great appeal with her? Is it her looks? She is a beauty to be sure. Great legs, great hair, awesome smile and that “winning” personality. Boy, she should have won me over with her first “you bet’cha.” But in an age where substance is just as important as style, I’m afraid she lost me even before the press catapulted her to the “celebrity status” she now loves to bask in. Do you really believe that she reached that celebrity status on the merit of her work? Uh, no way. It was the clothes purchased for her, her stylist and lots of media coverage that made her what she is. Did anyone really know who she was before John McCain announced her? It was that awful liberal media that went and made her so darn adorable.  Oh…it’s a love-hate relationship she has with the “liberal media” and one that has me scratching my head most of the time saying, “HUH?” Which is it Sarah? Do you love the liberal media or do you hate it? I guess she loves it when they portray her in a positive light, but as soon as she opens her mouth to speak, all the sudden it seems like she is crying that something was taken out of context. Blaming anybody but herself shows incredibly poor judgment when it comes to how all of the media coverage played out. She is not a victim, she is a barracuda remember? I wasn’t aware that barracudas cry on a daily basis that the liberal media just isn’t being fair! Give me a break. How sheepish does she think the American people are? Well, there are actually a lot of sheepish people out there and if you go to the TeamSarah.org and sign up, you can get your fill of people just-like-her! I was in my glory the first day I signed up. I can’t tell you what an eye opening experience it was to read the comments, blogs and discussions. Of course since I joined they made it private so you will have to sign up to view anything. It seems that Team Sarah was getting a lot of negative press coverage from that awful liberal media…particularly The Huffington Post. This social network dedicated to Sarah Palin started crying “foul” the moment the Huffington Post wrote a scathing article about some of the less than savory characters that are members of Team Sarah. They have followed Sarah Palin’s example by claiming that things were taken out of context. It’s quite laughable actually. I am amused at how ostrich like they are, gobbling up every bit of misinformation, half truths and downright lies and then burying their heads in the sand of their network. I don’t know if there is a single fact checker on that network! Some of the crap they have said about President Obama is ridiculous, and they are really walking a fine line with a lot of other stuff they espouse. Of course there is freedom of speech to consider, but that freedom isn’t free folks. There is a cost to be paid every time we open our mouths. Sarah Palin should know that. I find it laughable that Team Sarah needed to beef up their security on their network. They are convinced that people have signed up and decided to be racist or plant inflammatory remarks just so the liberal media could pounce on this social network that borderlines on “Sarah Worship.” One woman even felt that if someone made a movie about Sarah’s life that she would definitely get elected as president. I won’t say that all of the people on Team Sarah are fruit cakes and half wits, because I have witnessed true caring people on there too. It’s a real mixed bag. Some still think the President is a Muslim or that he isn’t a real citizen and they just keep circulating the same old stuff around and around. They have called for silencing negative bloggers and people that spread “nastiness” about Sarah, but why not just keep Team Sarah open for all to see? I guess they don’t want anyone raining on their little parade. They want to stay in their own little comfort zone and then come out for the attack when someone rails against their goddess. They are under the impression that the reason liberals pounce on Sarah so much is because she is a threat to them. I nearly peed my pants laughing so hard when I read that. Delusions of grandeur…that’s all I can say! They want to boycott CNN and advertisers too and the only real news source for most of them is FOX. The whole thing is kind of creepy. I wonder what I will find when I sign up for a social network dedicated to President Obama? I’ll have to start a search and get back to you on that one!

Now for some total randomness:

Is it me or is there a resemblance between Todd Palin and Joe the Plumber?
