Whatever you do, don't let her answer the red phone.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are frighteningly common, as highlighted by a study released by the CDC earlier this month. The U.S. is in a unique position: few countries have the resources we do to prevent and treat STDs, and few countries squander such resources so effectively.
Let me…
The infamous anti-gay legislator from Oklahoma, Sally Kern, was interviewed by the Oklahoma Daily. The story has some fine bon mots, like her definition of evolution:
Kern defined evolution to me as "the process of wanting to create something or have something be perfect. Get rid of that which is…

One of my chief joys in life, often to dismay of others, is working with data. Some members of my family (who shall remain nameless) would characterize this fixation as bordering on obsessive, others just call me a "geek" and leave it at that.
I don't care.
Give me a data set and I can play…
Notice the drilling for oil in the backyard of the White House.
Uh-oh!
I'm amused and scared all at the same time. Yay!
Despite my oft-expressed support for the McCain-Palin ticket, I must admit that this was rather amusing.
I needed a good laugh today. Thanks.
Aw gee, the pitbull dropped her lipstick.
Mouse over the shades and they go up. Wait a bit and see what walks past the window!I'm sure there are other surprises.
"Learning's hard."
I see Damon, Fey, and Couric got their comeuppance. And a deer, too.
I actually laughed out loud at that one. I'll be sharing it with everyone I know.
Oooo, there's a lot of hidden stuff to search through! This is fun
Contents of the trashcan especially relevant to this venue.
Politics for Dummys....
"Where'd Russia go?"
xD
What the hell, there's a globe. Shouldn't there be a flat earth or a map of only the US and the part of Russia she can see from her house?
"Something-stan"
That was awesome!
Reminds me of the old "Monkey Island" games (yes, I'm dating myself and showing what a geek I am).
That was way too much fun. I especially liked the ticker on the computer screen.
What an awesome website. And it seems like they'll be adding more stuff.
Open the door! Look in the trash can, Open the door again...and again...
I especially liked the dinosaur that walks by her window. And people complain about being thrown back into the dark ages!
Keep opening the door until you get to the fawn. Then click on the fawn. I'm a hunter and that disturbed me!
Has anyone already suggested this?: Click the red phone.
Oh too much fun!
@16 - Come on, Monkey Island isn't that old, what, like 1990 I believe...
Hahaha! That was fucking funny! Was that a velociraptor running around outside?
Nothing happens when you click on the computer screen.
Hint: read the post, or even the link you clicked to get there.
Ooops! I'm wrong. It does bring up some stock quotes and some moose quotes. I feel so foolish.
Yeah, that isn't that old at all in terms of computers. Hell, Windows was already up to version 3.0!
roflmmfao
If Palin becomes president, dinosaurs will walk the earth??? Well, I'm sold!
Don't forget to try a few things multiple times, like opening the door!
You've got to point at things with your cursor to get her to respond. That said: there is a copy of Science magazine in the trash. Why is that not surprising? (Rhetorical question, you don't need to answer as you should already know the answer if you are paying attention!)
Notice her blank diplomas on the wall. Point at those and the seat cushion of the couch for some amusing Sara Palin thoughts.
Click on the middle of the desk for them nucklear codes. It's impossible to type with a northern accent.
OK, since everybody pointed out the really fun stuff, I can just turn off the lights...
"Hi, I'm selling these fine leather jackets..."
Off-topic, but I thought PZ might be interested in the letter that was printed in my paper today (I live in the outer suburbs of New York City).
Point at the globe several times to check out her knowledge of geography!

Nucular. It's pronounced nucular.
it isn't a velociraptor, it's a hadrosaur, perhaps a trachodon.
actually what i meant to say for your born again promoter of armageddon any dinosaur that would get you to meet your maker quicker is more appropriately called a velocirapture. These are not to be confused with the dinosaur that promotes intelligent design. That is the truthiomimus.
My favorite is the dinosaur.
When I click the link, I see a quick flash of Palin sitting in the oval office, then my entire screen turns solid green. Any ideas?
Cliff (#36), was that in Newsday??? (I'm at Hofstra, site of tonight's Big Debate '08)
The Bambi shooting scared my dog.
Other than that - brilliant.
Are you kidding? I trust the red phone in Palin's hands more than just about anyone else on the planet.
Guy In Missile Silo: Mrs. President?
President Palin: Hiya there. Yeah, you know, I needya ta do me a favur.
GIMO: Yes Mrs. President.
President Palin: You know the wutzitz? I really need ya ta make it go. I wuz think'in maybe at the fellas with those furry hats.
GIMO: I'm sorry Mrs. President, I'm not sure I understand the order.
President Palin: Ok look, the pointy thing ya got there? I needya ta fire'r off - lickity split.
GIMO: Uh... Um... I'm flattered Mrs. President, but I don't think that's appropriate given...
President Palin: Wait a sec. Can you repeat back to me what I just said?
GIMO: Should I paraphrase Mrs. President?
President Palin: Can ya wha?
...into the sunset on a noble stead of victory and stuff.
I like how Tom Cruise gives her the thumbs-up.
Click on the light switch by the door.
It seems that the carpet is 100% Alaskan sealskin!
To hear the voices of protest open the left window.
@#44 When I click the link, I see a quick flash of Palin sitting in the oval office, then my entire screen turns solid green. Any ideas?
It may be your flash settings. Right click on the green and try "zoom out".

Thanks for the laugh, PZ! ^_^

Bugger, I think I just wet myself. Hang on- it might come true #2's on the way
MTran, "zoom out" was greyed out when I tried that... I'm using firefox, tried CTRL+ and CTRL-, no change. Opened in IE and was able to view it that way.
One reason to vote for Obama:

Loved it. Interesting "Maverick" poster though--perhaps Palin didn't realize that Jodie Foster is an Atheist! Score for our team.
If you press tab a bunch, it will highlight all the interactive regions. Don't do it until you think you've found everything you're going to, though. Why ruin the fun?
Where the heck does that dart launch from?? I certainly didn't see her arm move.
(Maybe I don't wanna know.)

Monkey Island is the best game ever!
Queen Palin
I saw TWO dinosaurs.

I love You.
Today's new bit is up. Looks like Joe the Plumber works in D.C.!
A hint? I can't find it.
Play these other Palin games:
Palin Bingo
Freedom Fightin' with Sarah Palin (crappy Flash game)
Actually I think that dinosaur was Herrerasaurus (I only saw one, so there might have been a hadrosaur too), which means we're right back in the late Triassic.
Nevermind, I got it.
There's a new one for today, too. "Palinized"
That's supposed to be funny? Scary is more like it.
Almost half of the gags in that are sexist attacks. Sexism doesn't become magically okay when applied to people one disapproves of. There are countless valid and true ways to criticize Sarah Palin without resorting to misogynist dog whistles. I expect better than to see that at this blog.
Sexist? Since when is calling someone ignorant, uneducated, and just plain wrong "sexist" just because that someone is a woman?
In fact, I'd call "sexist" to insist on using kid gloves with her simply because of her gender...
(or have you noticed any attacks on that site based on the fact she's a woman? I've seen none...)
