All that stupid concentrated in one place cannot be good for the Universe. It may become like a quantum singularity of stupid. I am guessing from her description of the channel that she is getting too bat shit insane even for Fox News…or they are clearing house for new, improved bat shit insane. ---

I predict that, like everything else Sarah Palin does, she’ll quit half-way through. And then blame it on others. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > I predict that, like everything else Sarah Palin does, she’ll quit half-way through. > > And then blame it on others. Others being The Liberal Media. I don’t think her endeavor is going to last very long. She and other Tea Partiers might have a dedicated fan base but I just don’t see them paying ten bucks a month in sufficient numbers to keep [del]the attention whore[/del] Palin’s latest attempt to stay afloat for very long. ---

I figure more money going to Palin is less money going to smarter conservatives who might help their party with it. Go, Sarah, go! My own money will still be free to be used on things I would rather see than Sarah Palin: baby seal clubbing, a video of my own lobotomy, nude bowling. You know, the basics. ---

She’s extremely partisan, and does not come across as much of a critical thinker. She criticizes the mainstream media but Fox News is a part of the mainstream media and she worked for them and I believe, continues to support them. I just don’t see the point, even if I thought of myself as a conservative, to watch or pay for her channel. ---

> [@DrumBum](#): > > Despite the almost certain chance of her never uttering an intelligent phase, I would probably throw $9.95 at it just for a month’s worth of giggles. Besides, I don’t need to eat any more cupcakes. And if 100,000 viewers do that… Not to mention that a good number of the curious viewers won’t get around to cancelling their subscriptions before the next month’s dues are charged to their credit card. It probably won’t be that expensive to produce. You only need a certain number of hours of programming that you keep recycling. And when there’s some news event, she usually films a video for her facebook page, so you could just add that into the rotation. And there are no actors to pay, whoever appears on her channel is going to be a fellow-traveler just hoping to get the word out. It will be a nice income stream. ---
