Wow a Sarah Palin Answer Generator!! I had a lot of fun playing with Sarah Palin sound bites this morning, then I whipped up this little program to crank out Sarah Palin speeches. This audio player creates a genuine unique Sarah Palin answer to any question you might wish to ask. You don’t have to input your question — that just takes time. I could just say that, like the Ouija board, the oracle already knows the question in your heart anyway but the fact of the matter is, as evidenced by the VP debates last night, that the question doesn’t really seem to matter anyway. I have to give Sarah Palin’s “debate” coaches credit. They did a fabulous job prepping her for the debates. Her answers at the debates made grammatical sense and were flawlessly executed and watching it on my neighbors’ non-HD TV, Palin looked fabulus. “Nucular” be damned — her people like it that way and by golly more power to ‘em.

Without further ado, here is the audio. If you don’t like the one you got, refresh the page and you’ll get a new one. If this page gets really popular I’ll make it all ajax-ian and you can get a new one without a reload, but if it’s a stumble flash in the pan, forget it.

The Sarah Palin answer to YOUR question

If you enjoyed this little bit of frivolity, after you stumbled and dugg this, please vote for ME for president. I’m only running for president of the blogosphere, but surely I’m at least as qualified as Sarah Palin!

Since July I have been dropping way way less Entrecards. I made it a point to only drop on sites I was visiting for some other reason, (like I was really interested in the post) which meant I stuck around long enough to not be counted as a bouncer. What did it do? Well admittedly, my visitors dropped off somewhat. But that kind of drop and run traffic I don’t need. I predict that Google will start penalizing sites with a high bounce rate even more than they already do, if, in fact, they do at all. After all, a bunch of mutual drop and runs is no different than a stumble club other than the fact that it’s implicit and it’s open ended. The focus becomes mutual back scratching, rather than rewarding quality, and if Google hopes that good sites bubble to the top, they better start doing something about “I’ll bounce off you if you’ll bounce off me” nonsense. The effect is the same: questionable quality sites who engage in this practice get a lot of this circle-jerk kind of traffic while the ones with ethics who refuse to do it get less.
