Wow. Haven’t done one of these in a while. Here we go:
1. Voting. I wanted to vote on Election Day, but this year the turnout is so high that I didn’t want to take the chance of getting stuck in a line for eight hours and being late for work (despite not having to go [...]
I know that one or two people who drop in here occasionally are fans of Sarah Palin, and I know I’ve made my opinion of her pretty clear. But I would like to know — why do people like her? What is it about her that makes you think she is a good vice presidential [...]

It’s so late in the game, and if he picks McCain, everybody’s going to say he just picked the Republican, and if he picks Obama, everybody’s going [...]

The shoe Sarah Palin wore to the VP debate (but I’m guessing hers was in black)
Not because she wore them, of course, but because they’re cute, but still….
Because I no longer have a place to list out what I’m currently reading…
I finally finished last month’s book club book, Life Isn’t All Ha Ha Hee Hee by Meera Syal. I know, I’m so behind. I have to admit I had my reservations about this selection after the disastrous Mistress of Spices (Raven? really?), [...]
He held back during the debate. Pulled his punches. Swallowed the opportunities — and there were many — to point out that Sarah Palin was talking out of her derriere. And as a result, while he might have come off as more knowledgeable and more informed than Palin, while he might have been more comfortable [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Dear Sarah Palin,
I am not a fifteen year old boy. I am also not a twenty-five year old man, or a forty-year old man, or a sixty-two year old man, or a man of any kind. Please stop winking at me. Please stop using words like “ya” and dropping your g’s and generally behaving like [...]
