I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure
Ah, but Rowling is such an easy target.
ReplyDeleteAll the criticisms were apt. Still, I liked the last movie. Don't want to see it again, but at least I don't feel like I wasted my money.
Gloooorious! Gloooooooorious!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrava to the artist, says the bookseller who was driven to smoking by the release day of the Half Blood Prince (well, okay, just one, and it was a clove, but I haaaaate smoking).
