Comments on: A Special Gift From Mrs. Palin https://godammit.com/a-special-gift-from-mrs-palin/ And I'm getting madder.

You should be able to substitute the word “bewildered” for nonplussed & have the same meaning.
I need a TV brick to throw @ the screen when Palin begins work for Fox.
I also need a Lesbian Stick.

“The adjective nonplussed means “surprised, confused, and uncertain what to do or say.” It is increasingly used in the almost opposite sense of “untroubled,” especially in U.S. English (Nonplussed by the criticism, she continued to direct her films in the very same offbeat manner for which she was famed.). This new meaning is not yet accepted as standard, and it may cause ambiguity in sentences such as He seemed nonplussed by the news. It possibly derives from a misunderstanding of the non- element, perhaps also influenced by nonchalant which does mean “calm and unconcerned.” But nonplussed goes back to Latin non plus “no more,” and does not have a positive or affirmative form plussed.”

Maybe just a Lesbian Stick?

I do realize it could just be my evolutionary need for seeking.

Your title should read: “A Special Gift TO Sarah Palin.”

(You might want to re-think putting that whatchamacallit on your front door. Or at least a Lesbian Stick).

“What exactly is it that the VP does everyday,” and who cares about the names of all these communists, anyway?
