Palin Misspelled Name On Trademark Application

Palin Misspelled Name On Trademark Application
Her supporters have conviction, if nothing else.

WASHINGTON (CAP) - Sarah Palin's latest attempt to fortify her personal brand took a deleterious twist this week when officials with the United States Patent and Trademark Office revealed that she actually misspelled her name on the application she filed to trademark Sarah Palin. As a result, the 2012 presidential candidate hopeful now owns the rights to Sarah Pallin.

"Admittedly, we were kind of surprised when we received the application, which people typically file to protect their intellectual property," said USPTO spokesperson Ernie Jarvis. "The key term there being intellectual. When we saw the two L's we assumed it was somebody else."

The news comes in the wake of a report that claimed Palin's trademark bid was denied because she had forgotten to sign the request, an announcement that USPTO officials now admit was fabricated to hide the real reason. "We were just trying to save her some embarassment yet remain in the realm of plausibilty," said Jarvis.

"Gotta admit, sometimes it's tough to invent stuff that Palin does that's any stranger than what she really does," added Jarvis.

In an attempt to confirm the mistake, CAP News called the Palin residence and asked to speak with Sarah Pallin only to be hung up on multiple times, with the woman who answered the phone mumbling something about the "wiseacre liberal media" on our third and last try. CAP News finally caught up with the former governor while she was skinning some roadkill to make a stew for the local homeless shelter.

"Whaddya mean my name doesn't have two L's?" Palin asked as she cut off chunks of gristle from the animal carcass and offered everyone in her camera crew a piece. "See, we don't go for your fancy big-city chewing gum up here in Alaska; we prefer to live off the land - or in this case, the road. We always say, use what the good Lord left behind, yes indeedie.

"So, umm, does Todd know our name doesn't have two L's anymore?" Palin asked.

Political analysts have begun weighing in on Palin's new dual name convention, with some saying the strategy could backfire if supporters split between backing Palin versus Pallin. Others say calling it a strategy lends to the idea of the whole thing having been done on purpose, something most agree is probably a little too advanced for the Tea Party.

"I think our country and the 2012 presidential race are best served if Palin just gets the L outta there," noted one pundit.

Meanwhile, USPTO officials confirmed that Bristol Palin's attempt to trademark her name also hit a roadblock when the department's document scanning machine was unable to process the paperwork because the responses were illegibly scribbled in green crayon. "Plus she had I 'heart' Levi doodled all over the place," said Jarvis.

Both Palin and her daughter say they plan to re-file their applications as soon as they can get their hands on some #2 pencils and a big pink eraser because "we found it's easier to erase mistakes in pencil than to white-out over them."

President Obama has announced that Hispanics will be the next ethnic group unfairly targeted with racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies. "We've done a pretty good number on Muslims over the past decade," Obama said. "I think it's time America took on a new challenge and broadened our horizons." «» The FBI has intercepted a chain letter sent to President Obama promising money in the mail if he adds his name to the list and sends it to five friends. "We're still investigating the source," said an agent. "But the fourth name is Joe Biden, so we have an idea." «» With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» The FBI is investigating who wiretapped Sen. Mitch McConnell's office, tapes of which show him slandering one-time opponent Ashley Judd. "I have a right to be devious and unethical in a private setting," he said. "I'm sure I'll say plenty of stupid things publicly during this campaign, just be patient." «» President Obama may spend the foreseeable future sleeping in the Oval Office after returning five percent of his salary in solidarity with furloughed federal workers. Sources say that portion was budgeted for Michelle's clothing allowance and "I'll be damned if I go the next six months dressing like Hillary Clinton." «» In the wake of stellar ratings for this year's NHL playoffs, Commissioner Gary Bettman has announced plans to kick off next season with another lockout. "We clearly created some sort of artificial demand last time," said Bettman. "So let's do it again. But next year, I'm thinking Finals in July!" «» Kanye West has canceled the release of his new album and pulled all existing copies in the wake of the birth of his daughter. "Oh my God, have you heard those lyrics I wrote?" he said. "I'm a dad now. I can't be all rapping about breasts 'n shit anymore." «» With the recent flight of its fifth manned space mission, China is poised to become the first nation to successfully launch a fully operational orbiting forced labor camp. Astronauts on board the country's space station module will spend two years testing the effects of weightlessness on human rights abuses. «» New data released from the leaked NSA telephone surveillance tapes reveals that Americans are ordering out for pizza at an alarming rate yet not calling their mothers nearly as much as they should. However, hour-long conversations with fathers explaining how to open a Word document remain at an all-time high. «» A new study finds that teenagers who regularly use a baby pacifier are 95% less likely to become bullies than those who don't. The positive results come on the heels of Michelle Obama's new Binkies For Bullies program that aims to reduce incidents of bullying by turning perpetrators into targets. «»
