So what’s to come of this?  Palin spent the last weekend sorting through these clothes used for and during the McCain Campaign.  Facing a lot of criticism, lawyers have actually been hired to determine what was returned, should be returned and…

It sucks to go back to Alaska Naked

Wearing Nike sneakers, Sarah Palin was an 18 year-old student-athlete who hit a clutch free-throw to win the girls’ state championship at Wasilla High School in 1982. Pictured here is Sarah Barracuda wearing a pair of Nike shoes while playing defense.

Baker’s ratings were less than spectacular, and eventually he moved onto Houston. And now apparently he’s popped up in the Twin Cities.

His show wasn’t my cup of tea then, and upon hearing his comments about Magic Johnson on his current show in Minneapolis, it certainly isn’t now.

Baker and co-host Langdon Perry both said yesterday that they are “convinced” the former Lakers star “faked aids.”

CALLER: What you run into is — you run into this idea, the same way that in education we want to make all the dumb people smart even though it’s impossible — their IQ limits them — and we’re going to spend all this money to try to do something that’s impossible. And you — it’s a waste of time, and you get frustrated employees, frustrated workers with all these demands to do something they can’t possibly do.

BAKER: There you go. All right, thanks.

PERRY: What about diseases that are eminently treatable and you can live with for a long, long time quite healthily if you just get some basic drugs?

BAKER: Like Magic Johnson.

PERRY: Like Magic with his faked AIDS. Magic faked AIDS.

BAKER: You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?

PERRY: I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.

BAKER: Yeah, me too.

PERRY: It falls apart –

BAKER: Which is horrible.

PERRY: — when you get into motivation. I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure he faked AIDS.

BAKER: I’ve got a great email here from –

PERRY: ‘Cause he’s the only cured AIDS guy ever.

Keep in mind that Baker is generally a right-wing guy, and the folks who run Media Matters are on the left. No matter though, what Baker said was asinine. And I’m sure now we haven’t heard the end of it.*

Now, if were talking about Magic faking strenuous gym workouts, which he is notorious for, this all might be a different story.

*UPDATE: Michael Rand of the MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE gets Magic’s reax:

“I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis. I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable,” Johnson said. “Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”

Completely random find on an internet forum I frequent: an FTP site with images from Clarissa Explains It All, better known as “that show Melissa Joan Hart had before Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.” Why am I bringing up teen situation comedies from the early 90s? Because one of the screencaps is a bit weird:

Yes, she’s lying on a box that says “baby prison.” This is perhaps not so strange; it’s probably some sort of in-joke or set design prank. The weird thing, though, is if you actually try to search for clarissa “baby prison” on Google, all you get is the aforementioned FTP site and someone’s blog, completely unrelated.

Let’s run the tape back, shall we? There appear to be no sites on the internet that mention the baby prison thing except for that one FTP site with the Clarissa caps. This is the internet, where every possible subculture has ample representation. There are sites devoted to the possibly fake fetish of women crushing small pests with high-heeled shoes. How is there not a Clarissa fan site that has wondered about the “baby prison” thing? There are only two answers:

1. The “baby prison” picture is a fake. But all the other screencaps seem legit and don’t seem to feature any other weird details.
2. There simply isn’t enough of a fanbase on the internet. For whatever reason, early and mid-90s phenomena are poorly covered by the all-consuming force that is rabid internet fandom. In other words, anything that came just prior to and during the early stages of widespread internet use is basically lost in the ether.

Everyone loves a mystery. Even ones about early-90s after-school teen comedies on Nickelodeon.
