awesome

This article, posted on the Huffington Post by Seth Grahame-Smith, is effing hilarious.

Family Values - This is someone who's not afraid to preach abstinence for your daughter, even though her own unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. This is someone who's not afraid to hop on a plane from Texas to Alaska while she's in premature labor. This is someone who's not afraid to hit the campaign trail with a 5-month-old special needs baby. That's what I call dedication to family. Obama, on the other hand? A Muslim.

Give it a read over here.

eye-roll

Ok, guys. Enough is enough.

Sarah Palin was a college kid during college?!?!!?!!?!?!?!??!?!!!?!?!111one!11!1eleven


(shirt reads "I may be broke but I'm not flat busted.")

*freak out*

It's official: Nobody cares. Leave her alone.

borderline equal-opportunity snarkiness

Already I'm feeling a little like I'm attacking somebody who, first of all, I don't even know, second of all, I haven't done a ton of research on, and third, who has a fabulous first name...this letter I found while researching my last post is, admittedly, mostly jab after jab at McCain and Palin, but it's a little snarky towards Joe Biden, who I (also admittedly) haven't done a ton of research on, either:

Because you're old, and you're a white dude, I bet that sexist snark
s not absent from your famous attack-dog repertoire. Because you're
one of the best attackers there is, and sexism has been part of the
radition for a very long time. Don't do it. Be very, very careful.

Anyway, here's the link to the letter (no, not HERE, back there at the FIRST "here." Oh, fine, here it is again. Happy?). Read on, dear readers!

Perez v. Palin

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Perez "The Jesus" Hilton. I don't always totally agree with his views, but generally we're pretty spot-on in terms of who we like and who we don't (although I don't totally understand his burning hatred for all things Cyrus--I mean she's annoying, but come on, she's 15!). That said, he's had his hands full the last few days with posts on Sarah Palin...








(all "photo credit," as it were, goes to Mr. Hilton)

Sarah Palin has officially taken over where Phelps left off (and let's not forget Spears), and frankly, here's my issue: she was named as Johnny's running mate on August 29th. Today is September 3rd. Already, having done limited research, I know that she doesn't "believe" in global warming (I mean, c'mon. Even McCain knows it's important to talk about how he's going to make the end of global warming a priority if he gets elected), she's got a 17 year old daughter who, by the way, is preggers (I'm having a hard time with the nasty rumors that Palin's 4-month-old is allegedly her daughter's child as well--but lord, wouldn't that be juicy?!), scandal, scandal, "scandal," let's not forget her foreign policy experience, and honestly, Sar, I'm willing to forgive you for not knowing what the title of VP stands for (because honestly, how many people can rightfully claim they do?), but I'd advise, in the future, not openly admitting that you don't.

Now. It took me slightly over 45 minutes to find all of those links to back up what I learned in about 5 minutes. 50 minutes total, to learn 7 things that pretty much support the theory that McCain (and/or his camp) didn't look AT ALL into his potential VP. I mean, I know, what with having to look over such a hefty resume (ZING!), they might have missed all of those things, but really?

...Really?

birthday birthdayyyyy

first thing's first:

happy belated to Republican hopeful John McCain!



rock the hell on, old man.

test, test, test...

I've spent plenty of time trying to find a good political blog that is updated often, that I actually WANT to read, that I find interesting, humorous, and informative…and it's been pretty difficult; the only exception being “Joe Q.'s” Things Younger than McCain (which is pretty fab, I must say). I'll admit, I have a hard time staying in tune with what's going on in politics--which is why I'd like for a blog like this to exist, and why I gave up looking and started one of my own. I consider myself to be fairly liberal, and right off the bat I'll just put it out there: Obama rocks my socks right off. But I try my best to understand both sides.

If a slightly liberal, slightly political blog isn't right up your alley, this may not be the place for you. Feel free to read, but please don't bore anybody with slinging crazy insults that, honestly, I'll probably just delete. Discussion, however, is ALWAYS welcome, and if you'd like to contribute, send me a post and I'll check it over and put it right up with the rest of 'em!

Anyway, this is an experiment, hopefully to turn into a long-term project. Stay tuned...
