Well this is seriously all kinds of horrible, but what else would we expect from the world’s worst person’s political action committee, Sarah Palin’s SarahPac.

Here, Sarah Palin encourages her followers to ‘take a stand’ against Democrats represented by rifle crosshairs / gun aim points, one of which is at none other than Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (who, in case you’re super uninformed, was shot earlier today in her home state of / worst place on earth Arizona and remains in critical condition).

Note: The Museum of Modern Artifacts apologizes that it has to focus its energy on shedding light on the horrors and backwards-ness of hate politics, and would much rather bring you ‘news’ on how Heidi Montag’s latest plastic surgery went or on Miley Cryus bong hits, but this is sadly a piece of our post-postmodern world which we cannot ignore.

Welcome, scholars and museum-goers one and all, to the big top circus that is Wasilla, Alaska!, the new official Capital of Political Post-Irony, USA.

A place where media mediocrity meets middle-america mayhem meets political backwardsness via the glory of Tea Party fundamentalists…

A town that nearly every American knows of, yet is only a few thousand people small and is hardly going to become a tourist icon anytime soon (well I take that back… who knows, maybe it’ll be considered a religious site someday) as it’s only destination is the Shoot Em Up Tavern Mug Shot Saloon.

But the future looks bright for Wasilla (no it doesn’t) as, as you’ve probably heard, Dr. Levi Johnston, America’s favorite baby daddy and Playgirl pornstar, is running for Mayor in the 2011 Election!

Oh wait that’s not the picture we planned on using for this story, whoops.

There, that’s better.  I mean, we’ve always said that the Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet is a great place to check out potential future mayoral candidates.

Here is an official press release from Entertainment Tonight / Levi’s peeps on the matter:

Levi confirms he is running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and he’s ready to talk about his plans. On his intention to run for his hometown’s highest office, he says “It’s for real. I’m going to go there and do what I can. Obviously that’s where I grew up and that’s my home. It’s always going to be home to me. [My son] Tripp’s going to grow up there and I want to change a few things.”

When the opportunity first came to him, he says, “I laughed, but the more and more I thought about it the more and more I looked into things. I do care and I do want to make a difference. Whether I win or not, I want Tripp to look up to me and see what I’ve done and be proud of his Dad.”

Sadly, according to recent polls, not only is his run for Mayor not going so well in Wasilla, but his popularity all over Alaska is not so hot (which frankly we don’t really believe since he’s so perfect and seems so good for Alaska).

Apparently, Johnston’s current approval rating (even though he’s not in office yet but hey, apparently it’s okay to give him an approval rating anyway) is a bleak 6 percent.

But come on, people!  Chip up, Alaskans!

We here at the Museum are guessing that the rational for this extremely low approval rating is that Wasillans are pissed that nothing is getting done under his watch, because they probably assume that he is already in office.

And to be honest, after what we saw with ex-mom-in-law Sarah, we’re gonna go ahead and assume that he’s already in office too.

We’re very excited to continue to bring you news and updates on Levi Johnston’s noble run to A. get a high school diploma, B. make a political career, and then C. become Mayor of Wasilla.  Unless Levi was just referring to Foursquare… dammit.

Either way, we’ll look forward to seeing him in this office soon enough:

“The Tea Party movement is not a top down operation, it’s a ground up call to action that is forcing both parties to change the way that they’re doing business…

This party that we call the Tea Party is the future of politics.”

Well, time to pack our bags.  What’s good, London? 

In one final and glorious attempt to generate some buzz and become a viable meme once again, tanking publication Newsweek magazine is set to release the following cover on next week’s edition:

And here’s an excerpt from the corresponding article:

“To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.”

Let rampant hyperbole ring!

holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. Christmas come early. No, Tripp, Daddy (via Levi Johnson) isn’t coming back (he doesn’t love you). It’s better than that: the great state of Illinois, the state that brought you Lincoln-Douglas and Blogoyovitch-JerrySpringer debates, hosted the first annual Sexy Sarah Look-A-Like Contest aka Strippers Dressed as Palin as, wait for it, AN OFFICIAL FUNDRAISER FOR THE TEA PARTY.

Somewhere, Rupert Murdoch is crying and counting his money at the same time wishing he came up with this genius idea. Our only question is, will it hurt or benefit Palin when these strippers are inevitably mistaken for her during her 2012 campaign for Führer President?

Who wants to be America’s Next Top Neo-Con?

You wanna be on top?

I’ll let you be my running mate…

Poll: Would men want to see their president naked?  Will the first women president be a stripper?  Playmate of the year = veteran in terms of street-cred with voters? Will Monica Lewinski return to politics? 

These are the days of our lives…..

CURATED IN THE “WOMEN ARE OBJECTS” WING OF THE MUSEUM

In related news, Tina Fey turned forty today. 

Bill “Papa Bear” O’Reilly and Sarah Palin discuss the cruelty of how ‘Family Guy’ satirized her family by making fun of Trig, her baby with Down’s syndrome.

Please pay particular attention at 2:10, as O’Reilly shows a photo on screen of Family Guy creator Chris MacFarlane and then says the following:

“This guy MacFarlane who did this, is a hater. Makes a lot of money for Fox, but I think there should be some standards sometimes, but apparently there aren’t.”

*Hits head repeatedly until it turns into a terrible bruise*

Well it’s about time we see Fox News being a total douchebag to its own GOP party-followers.  Take that, J.D. Hayworth!  Love when Fox News uses the term “Congresswoman” to diss people / Love when Fox News reinforces that women are inferior.

John McCain must be laughing his ass off right now (as Hayworth has just announced that he plans on running against McCain in the Republican primary for his Arizona Senate seat).  Unless McCain himself planned and/or paid for this to happen (wouldn’t put it past em).

P.S. Do yourself the favor of getting to know this Hayworth fella… he’s quite the prick/intolerant idiot himself.  And knowing the American political system in the post-Palin world, he should have a name for himself quite soon.
