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
Thanks for sending me there. Best political post of the day? I suspect this will turn out to be one of the best of the year. I wish I were Markos or Atrios, cuz then I could hype the hell out of it.
ReplyDeleteTbogg mentioned it, so it'll get legs or viral or whatever.
ReplyDeleteah, the internet language.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, and I read a lot of political posts. I also see he's raising money for Fisher House. Great job.
ReplyDeleteArgh. I'm gearing up to go to the US this summer and I'm dreading meeting my brother (pro Bush - Pro War) I'd love to see him enroll. (Not!!! Even if he's an ass I still love him) But honestly, this post struck a nerve...

ReplyDeleteWhat Doug said re political post of the year.
ReplyDeleteHave you read the "Top 10 Signs of the Impending U.S. Police State"?
(I particularly liked the line 'The fact is, when people who kill, spy and deceive for a living tell you that the White House has gone too far, you had damn well better pay attention.')
