As I write this I want you to understand that I am not in my mother’s basement writing it. I am in my pajamas, but they are really awesome pajamas and have nothing to do with the fact that I am the “blogger” you claim that I am. In fact, I am a blogger that manages to help support a family or two on my blogging. In my spare time, I offer money to help kids with Muscular Dystrophy (that’s a disability, in case you haven’t heard of it…) have a nice holiday season (their parents are drowning in medical bills and can’t always offer presents).
You seem to keep repeating that the reason that the Republicans lost and the reason that no one likes you is because of the media. The news media, journalists, and bloggers all had it out for you. We spun things. I’m here to tell you that we didn’t need to spin anything. You were sensational enough on your own. McCain was not voted in because he ran a dirty campaign and because you’re a full fledged idiot.
Every time you open your mouth someone else begins to not like you. It doesn’t matter if you’re advocating for all disabled people because of your son, Trig (though all disabilities are different so it’s wrong to try and champion yourself based on the fact that you had a baby with a problem) or you’re making funny jokes to try and get more people to like you. The biggest joke will always be you. Shame on you for being as unintelligent and uneducated in the ways of politics and trying to become anyone in power. I am just glad that the American public wasn’t as stupid as I thought they were going to be.
There are rumors that you want to run for President in 2012. From what I have heard 100% of Democrats support this move. The reason for this is because we know that if you do, you will lose, and we will end up with Obama again or someone else if you choose to run later. The only good thing about you running would likely be the return of Tina Fey on SNL. Even then, it would hardly be worth the painstaking process of listening to you sound like an idiot every single day of your campaign.
I didn’t cry just because he won. I didn’t cry because McCain lost. I cried during his acceptance speech because I believe him. I believe that Barack Obama will find a way to make this country work together. I believe that he will usher in some much needed truth and prosperity for the people into government. I believe in him.
Obama and I had a rocky road. I was a Clinton supporter. I didn’t know if I could trust him. I made a million excuses why I would not vote for him. Once Obama sealed the nomination and chose Biden, I made more excuses why I would not vote in general. At one point, when I was still feeling out my decision to vote…or not…I started to listen to what he was saying. Then McCain picked Sarah Palin as a running mate and all bets were off. I said I would vote for Obama out of fear of a world with an ignorant female in power.
I don’t think I really heard what he was saying until recently though. I knew I would vote for him, but it was as a lesser of two evils. I can admit when I am wrong.
I am wrong.
Today I firmly believe that President Elect Obama will lift this country from despair and make it whole again. This is a man that is so different from every man that has been in the White House recently and by that I am not referring to the color of his skin.
This is a man that has shown great integrity, coolness under pressure, and the ability to make and break goals as the need arises. This is a man that is as good a father as he is a politician. He shows that those jobs are both important, and that you don’t have to do one better than the other. This is a man that shows obvious love for his wife. It was nice to see Michelle mouth the words “I Love You” to her husband during his shining moment last night. This is a man that can change things.
My son is on the autistic spectrum so you would think that organizations like Autism United would speak to me in some way. All this one really does is give me a headache. Based on the fact that I don’t agree with a lot of the methods out there for “curing” autism, we just do what works for him and don’t venture out much into any of these groups. However, for some reason, unbeknownst to me, Autism United and their messages of fierce vigilance keep showing up in my Spam box.
This is how I first became aware of this organization. I received some Spam about Jenny McCarthy and Amanda Peet. I wasn’t impressed with my first impression, so this second email did even less to convince me to jump on the bandwagon. This time their hatred and bullying is directed at Dennis Leary.
For those that don’t know Leary, he is a comedian. He is the self-professed white trash, asshole that likes to say things that no one else would even dream of saying. What does this mean to me? It means that I wouldn’t look to him for advice about autism because he is a comedian. Likewise, I would not go to a proctologist to determine what is wrong with my muffler.
So what did he say to get AU’s feathers so ruffled? Nothing completely untrue or unfunny if you ask me and that’s coming from a parent with a child that has AS. The “organization” has posted the “autism” chapter on their website…for educational purposes. Something I also like to call “a way to get more attention.” They also demand that an apology be made (they got it) and that a portion of the book’s proceeds go to their organization if the chapter is not retracted. I swear they are like the autism mafia.
So what did he even say? He said a lot of things. I read the majority of the chapter. Leary claims that you need to read the whole book before you judge the one chapter. Mark Anthony Ramirez, the spokesman for AU (someone I had never heard of until that Spam mail arrived) claims Leary is just saying that to sell more books. Of course, if they are trying to commandeer part of his fortune I don’t see why that would bother them.
I couldn’t stop laughing at this when I saw this. I don’t know if it’s because of the hilarious realism concerning the subject matter or what, but if you haven’t seen this you need to check it out!

Looking for a Sarah Palin lookalike for an adult film to be shot in next 10 days.
Major adult studio.
Please send pix, stats etc. ASAP
Pay: $2000-3000
No anal required
* Location: LA
* it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: $2000-3000
Please note the “No Anal Required.” I am glad that they added this. After all, everyone knows that Sarah likes it better to give than receive.
In case you missed it, Tina Fey was back on SNL with Amy Poehler playing Republican VP pick, Sarah Palin. This time around Amy Poehler had a chance to play Katie Couric. If you’ve seen the actual interview between the two women, you will certainly find this one amusing. Either way, this is priceless SNL, so check it out and let me know what you think!
If you didn’t get a chance to see Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin last night you should check it out. While I am not a huge SNL watcher these days, I have to say Tina Fey coming back to play Palin was classic. She did an excellent job and the skit was completely hillarious!
I read something somewhere that struck me as odd the other day. It stated that a large percentage of men (far more than women) feel that Sarah Palin is not only qualified to be the vice-president, but also to lead this country.
Those are strong words.
I don’t even feel like Bush is qualified to run this country, so hearing that people think she is ready just baffles me. It got worse when my mother came home with tales from the gas station.
“Gas is nearly $4 a gallon,” she says “and an 80 year old man was pumping gas next to me and he said ‘this is why I want that woman in office. She supports energy.’”
She also supports drilling in ANWAR, the destruction of polar bears, and having Alaska secede from the United States. That’s not everything of course, but just some of her finer moments.
Could it be possible? Is it possible that many men are not thinking…well, at least not with their brains?
When I ask Palin supporters why they like her they often cannot give me a firm reason that is based on issues. Some things I do hear are:
“She’s good looking.”
“She knew she was having a Down Syndrome baby and kept it.”
“She’s a good mother”
My responses usually follow suit:
“Personally, I think she looks like a less intelligent Hitler in a dress.”
“Maybe we should nominate Bristol. I think she’s the real hero in this scenario.”
“So, she’s a woman that got pregnant out of high school and eloped (with the baby born eight months later) hoping no one would be able to do the math. She grows up to build a decent life that includes kids that follow in her footsteps by getting pregnant, but they presumably up the ante, and she handles her problems at home using shotgun weddings and the idea that she will become even busier (having less time at home) as vice-president. Oh, and while this is going on she is trying to dictate how we live, what we teach our children, and the books people read to ensure that we live the chaste life that her own family (her included) cannot seem to live themselves?”
On a personal level, we don’t give a hoot whether Sarah Palin abstained or not. From a voter’s perspective, one of the most important issues is whether or not the candidate is honest, open and virtuous. If Sarah Palin did not abstain as a teenager, why is she the authority on abstinence? It’s bad enough she’s trying to tell our nation’s children they have to abstain when she couldn’t even get her own daughter to listen to that simple message.
It’s called hypocrisy. You can do whatever you want because you’re a Christian and can be forgiven and supported for your sins. BUT, and this is a very big but, you expect something more of others. If you can’t live up to the standards you hold for others, then you are a hypocrite. It’s plain and simple logic.
We do believe that usually, a person’s private life should be just that. Unfortunately, the Republicans seem to believe that a Democrat’s private life should be dragged through the mud and exposed while Republicans aren’t held to the same standard. If it is revealed without a shadow of a doubt that Sarah Palin is a liar, shouldn’t she be held to the same standards as Bill Clinton, John Edwards, or any of the other politicians whose lies have been exposed? If she can’t handle the heat or scrutiny, why not stay out of the kitchen?
We’ve already talked about the possibility Trig is Bristol’s son, the fact that Bristol’s pregnancy doesn’t fit in with the family values Republicans typically hold and the shifty nature of Sarah Palin. Now, we look to Sarah Palin’s own pregnancy. As shady as her last “supposed” pregnancy was, so was her very first pregnancy. Track Palin, the eldest child of the Palins may have been conceived prior to his parent’s marriage. We might just have enough information to prove that.
