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
I love this post! I always want to write that kind of stuff, too, but my frequently-confused MIL reads the blog (not the Spouse, he never looks at it, even though he knows about it), and she'd misconstrue something and ask him about it.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm glad you posted this.
Why, precisely, does he object to this? (Perhaps he wanted you to say a googol dollars?)
ReplyDeletenah, he doesn't get the point of blogs. Not sure I do either, but I love blogs anyway.

ReplyDeleteI love her right back, but I still think blogging is goofy.
