Wonkette
Here is a photograph your Wonkette took at a Barnes & Noble in the Philadelphia suburb in which she grew up. Things have gotten significantly wittier over there!

Hey, everybody, I just looked at the calendar and realized that it ends on December 31st! Let the panic-fucking begin!
Very funny, but it’s obviously not a pile of her books, just one copy placed over something else , in 2012 section. What’s more interesting is that it’s 30 percent off (or perhaps the sticker says (”30 percent true”)
I am trying to start a cult revolving around the putative end of everything in 2012. I would like followers who would give me all of their money and good stuff in the run-up to this. To date I have not made much progress, perhaps because I don’t much like actually talking to people, but I continue to hope.
2012. That’s the number of hand jobs she’s given to Todd and Levi, right?
So is the suggestion that Sarah Palin is relevant to 2012 because that’s when she’ll be running for President?
Or that Sarah Palin is relevant to the apocalypse because of her Evangelical beliefs?
Or is somehow both, that Palin is bringer of the apocalypse?
It’s the coming of the Palinocalypse, obvs.
“I’m Sarah, Sarah Palin. I’m your density.”
2012 is the year change comes to take back America and restore our values and acknowledge the Christianity that this country was formed by so there’ll be books telling how to do this thing maybe with the troops or teabagging patriots.
What suburb? I grew up in the Philly burbs.
If they knock another 70-80% off the price, I might consider it (cold snap here).
Extemporanus: That’s beautiful.
Pizzuti: What is “Yes,” Alex?
It’s in the eye of the beholder. Some of you see books of prophecy, I see door stops piled up on the clearance table.
Totally Off-Topic.
A Special Anniversary today.
According to dailyrotten.com, December 10, 1993: “Adolf Hitler is baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in a ceremony performed inside their London temple. Mormons use this strange retroactive baptismal ritual to ensure ancestors or other relatives may join them in heaven.”
Is it wrong that I’m fantasizing about some sort of Heaven’s Gate-esque mass suicide thing that would get rid of both the Palinites and the idjits who believe that the world is ending in 2012?
They could buy their matching track suits at Costco! Their last meal would be chili-cheese freedom fries washed down with cyanide-laced Bud Lite Lime! It would be so perfect.
Hey hey! I’ve been looking for a sale on toilet paper.
Cicada: Bumpit™ sales are a harbinger of the Sarahpocalypse®.
I would say yay for my city; but that’s just a suburb and so doesn’t count.
Doglessliberal: How quickly we forget! http://www.theawl.com/2009/11/the-prank-review-with-juli-weiner-an-introduction
x111e7thst: You’re supposed to goad them into going crazy places where you know you’d never be after the apocalypse! That’s your mission… quit cult-building already, else they follow you after the hammer falls.
Blah,blah,blah. I can’t even imagine the word to be used for the amount of money the end of the world story has made for crooks and con artists over the span of human time on earth. I remember whole communities up in the rich retard areas of the north west actually purchasing Y2K Survival Kits for $350 containing instructions to set aside a few gallons of water and canned food for when the computers deleted those items from the grocery shelves. I have it on good authority though that the day that GWBush dies will be the true end of the world.I wish I could tell you who told me. Maybe I will write a book sometime. The important thing for those of you out there who may be hurting for some cash is you now have till 2013 to figure out how to get the morans to pay you to tell them how to survive. Try to be decent and not use the bible if you can help it. The bible is getting tired.
Hey, Juli, is this the Barnes and Noble in Abington- near the Trader Joes and Whole Foods?
I had always thought that S.P. was one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I just could never decide whether she was huey, dewey, louie, or screwy. I think I know which one now.
finallyhappy: It could be the one on 252 next to 202 in Devon. Chester County’s gotten a lot more hip and liberal in the last decade.
finallyhappy: I thought ALL B&Ns in the country were right next to the Trader Joes and the Whole foods. They all serve the exact same demographic.
102415: The difference is, while the 2012 thing is just mystical gibberish, the Y2K bug was an actual threat to world stability; but, because people managed to predict the problem and then do something to prevent it, nothing bad actually happened. Sort of like with global warming, except for the whole doing something to prevent it part.
Jeebus is coming, and boy is she pissed.
Extemporanus: That made my day.
x111e7thst: Cicada: Good luck to you both. Try looking for the movie about Marjoe for so many helpful ideas about the subject. Think of it as a form of unconcious S&M with no safe word. You’re welcome.
Oh yes, send them far away from the rest of us out of the country if possible remember the Waco seige. That nice place Jim Jones went to is probably still available and is already a brand.
That’s how we Main Line elitists roll.
JMP: Maybe so, but the crazy things some people believed were, well, actually crazy and the crazy was sold to them long after the actual difficulty was identified and resolved. It sold quite a lot of real estate in some awful desolute parts.
I grew up with my head under my desk in LA and had neighbors who spent serious money on back yard shelters that would been vaporized in an actual attack. Then again some of those shelters were supposed to come in handy when the magnetic poles switched back in the 90’s so they were not a total loss I suppose.
Ha ha! Reminds me of the episode of Supernatural in which TPTB tried to persuade the Lead Dude to man up and save the world by showing him what would happen in 5 years if he didn’t. Newspaper headline was about President Palin bombing Texas.
JMP: Ah, yes, as Dan Quayle said, what a waste it is to lose one’s mind, or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. In my case, I blame it on overwork NOT early-onset senility.
I know! I know! It’s things you won’t be able to even give away in 2013. Am I right? What do I win?
Damn it, I’m not even Y2K-Ready!
bureaucrap: She is the Beast (Bitch) of the Apocalypse. THE ANTI-CHRIST!!
And what rough beast, his hour come round at last,
Slouched towards bethlehem to be born?
Crazybroad: Zeus is not amused by your Jeebus comments.
Harbinger of doom!
Juli, you should know that the proper grammar is “the Philadelphia suburb up in which she grew.”
Fortunately, the apocalypse will be before the inauguration.
