A Sarah Palin news roundup: The Sarah Palin Channel receives fewer visits than wealthy neighborhoods on Halloween, Sarah sees God in the clouds, and Garry Trudeau tries to figure out what in the hell she is talking about.

Occasionally an intrepid reporter puts on their mooseshit resistant galoshes and trudges on over to the Sarah Palin Channel just to see if their is anything worth discussing with their readers.

Recently Lloyd Grove of the Daily Beast did just that.

What he found was a video of Todd beating Sarah at a game of HORSE, Sally's "Word of the Day." a link to Brancy's blog, and not a whole lot else worth mentioning.

Though he did have this to report: 

The goal, (TAPP owner) Klein says, is to try to replicate, or at least approach, the astonishing success of former Fox News personality Glenn Beck, whose subscription-based Web TV operation, TheBlaze.com reportedly boasts hundreds of thousands of paying customers and is said to be minting money. 

Yet while it’s impossible to know, absent hard figures, whether the Sarah Palin Channel is succeeding in attracting an audience, it’s significant that the channel’s Web traffic, expressed in terms of unique visitors, is a tiny fraction of The Blaze’s 15.3 million in September (the most recent available numbers from Media Trend). The Sarah Palin Channel, by contrast, had a barely measurable 36,000 visitors in September, according to Quantcast.

36,000 visits in one month?  Not to brag folks but this little defunct blog of ours gets ten times that much traffic in a month. Maybe TAPP would like to invest with us?

Man that is just sad, there is NO way, despite the protestations to the contrary from Klein that the Sarah Palin Channel is seeing a profit. No way!

I imagine that there will come a day in the not to distant future where the channel will simply stop posting any new content, and then one day it will simply disappear from the web as if it was never there in the first place.

Which, by the way, is very much like I hope will happen with Palin herself one day. Poof, no more crazy out of Wasilla.

And speaking of magic this was the latest post on Palin's Facebook page:

This picture paints a thousand words – hope it does for you – illustrating rays of hope that peek through the clouds to light a right way forward. With thankfulness for the wisdom of involved Americans this week, I know we can count on the guiding illumination our nation needs when we look up. My brother photographed this glorious open sky while walking with his baby girl along Alaska's Cook Inlet shore. In our eyes, anyway, we see the hand of God in this, and we are grateful.

It is interesting that the woman who can see no man made impact on the climate, cannot help but see the work of an invisible presence in a simple cloud formation.

You know perhaps I spend a little too much time on the internet, but this was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the image.

Actually that's the cloud formation I would expect to see directly over the Palin compound. You know if there were a God.

Speaking of convoluted reasoning ability, Garry Trudeau the creator of the comic strip Doonesbury found himself baffles by a recent quote from the Wasilla Wendigo:

SAY WHAT? 

"Despite your view -- and policies -- that government must lord over women, in keeping with radical liberalism, you have to fake support for our equal rights; so you do it in a militant sort of way to compensate for your confusion. On pretending to know what's best for us you've got nothing but a silent scream demanding, 'Hear me roar!'" 

—Sarah Palin on President Obama

As you know I have a doctorate in Sarah Palin Word Salad from WTF University, and I dearly love Doonesbury, but I got nothing on this one.

However if I had to venture a guess I would go with a bad batch of meth?

You know elections come, and elections go. But Sarah Palin will never lose her crown as the most ridiculous political figure of all time. Never.
