I don’t really like getting into politics on here. In the past there have been some somewhat unpleasant discussions that have arisen from political posts. That having been said, this Sarah Palin thing was too good to pass up.
Too good in the sense that if she is good enough and prepared enough to be Vice President, what about me? Why was I never consulted? I definitely think that I am smarter than she is, with a more nuanced view of the world. I have 6 months of executive leadership of my household where I have had to be in charge of balancing my household budget, command the Nathan House National Guard (1 dog, 2 cats), and negotiate with foreign leaders (my parents).
Also, while I am not a woman, I like women, and know some women.
But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?! Are people so stupid, and ignorant, and so naive to fall for this obvious gimmick?!
Sadly, I think that the answer is yes.

I will vote for you. Love, Grandma
I like her because she’s hot.
I’d also like to brag that I called this over a month ago.
I would also suggest that since you live in Dogtown, you have a proximity to immigrants (who you’ve never spoken with), therefore making you extremely qualified to handle the immigration issue.
I am so confused. I am not supposed to vote for Obama because his mother was a teenaged unwed woman (so obviously she has bad values that she inflicted on her son), but I am supposed to be OK about Palin because what an honorable thing her daughter did to keep the baby yada yada yada. I’ve got complaints with both sides, but the nit-picking crap (the crap that has nothing to do with ablity to lead, like someone’s middle name or an indiscretion of someone 25 years ago) seriously pisses me off.
If this is too controversial for my beloved Smackie, feel free to delete. I believe strongly that there is life after birth. The same motherly love and protection should be given to a baby after it is born. A four month old special needs baby needs its own momma. Yes, women can do it all. But not all at the same time. I marvel at what this generation of women has accomplished. But they know it is not easy. And to those who preach abstinance instead of information about birth control, I say “Put a diaper on it.”
I thought I had commented but I guess it didn’t come through… too tired to recreate that post, but did see this and enjoyed it. I’m sure someone could make something similar for the “other side’ but…

Usually comments with links get put in a special place and I have to approve them.
I’m glad this one came through. I love Jon Stewart and I love Ange.
