Sarah Palin wins the vice presidential debate in St.Louis

Every pundit out there keeps talking about either how low the bar is or how much Sarah Palin has to prove tonight but you know what? Sarah Palin has nothing to prove and there is no bar. All she has to do is show up tonight and she wins.

It’s that simple.

So what if she doesn’t know anything about foreign policy.  How many Americans do infact let’s be honest how many Americans care about what takes place outside our borders? I mean who cares about those ‘other people’ all they want from us is our money anyway, right?

So what if she can’t name a court case that she significantly disagrees with? How many Americans can? All we have do is overturn Roe v Wade and everything will be fine.

So what if she can’t name a magazine or a book that she’s read or reads that has helped shape her outlook on the world? Isn’t print a medium for those other people anyway? 

 

Listen, people Sarah Palin is a sideshow, a very interesting one, i’ll give you that, nevertheless she’s still a side show. She was picked not because she helps John McCain with liberals and television know it alls or because she can rattle off world leaders and the issues affecting their countries. Please, she was selected to help John McCain steal women voters from Obama and because the photos with her and her hubby and their baby are priceless.

Insulting yes but isn’t that obvious?

And the fact she’s on the stage tonight with Joe Biden  as the first female GOP vice presidential candidate might be enough to earn her and her boss some votes and enough to quell some fears on the conservative side.

But if you believe that she will be marked equally or on the same curve as Joe Biden you’re wrong. If you doubt me listen to the comments after the debate tonight. Unless she says something remarkably foolish Sarah Palin will be judged the winner. Who cares about substance? Who cares about experience? I mean those things are soooo 2004..all I can say is Idiocracy is definitely upon us people- and she just might be our next vice president..God help us all if that day happens..

 

*** I will be live blogging as usual, just in case you care..lol..i’ll even send some of you text updates***

Go ahead and listen to those pundits now..

New Year’s resolutions

Every year like millions of people I make a list of all the things I want to acheive in the coming year some years I acheive all of them others well let’s just say by the middle of the year I try to forget about the ‘damn’ list..lol

Well this year I’ve decided to share five of the things on my list not all of them I can’t do that, I need to keep somethings to myself come on..lol.

I hope you’ll share some of your resolutions with me and every couple of months we’ll meet back here and compare notes on how we’re doing.

1. Get a better job that utilizes all or at least most of my skills and intellect.

2. Read more. I think I do quite a lot about a book a week but I believe I could do more about 2…

3. Start saving.

4. Learn how to sew. I’ve already researched this one and I’m going to start classes in February..so one down almost..

5. Get a better apartment.

So those are a few of my resolutions go ahead and share a couple of yours with me..I can’t wait to see them and please have a fantastic New Year!!

useless and trivial celebrities

OK..from this moment on I will no longer be a willing participate in the dissemination of useless and trivial celebrity information.

What is this you ask dear reader? OK..anything to do with Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan or any celebrity whose life has no affect on MY life whatsoever.

If this celebrity is participating in advancing the public discussion or discourse on a particular issue or cause then fair enough but other than that I no longer will discuss, buy magazines or visit celebrity sites that discuss the latest celebrity affair or debacle. In my own home I do not watch reality shows unless they are labelled documentaries but I have on occasion bought a tabloid but from this day on no more.

Enough.

I will no longer join the mob that seeks to live life vicariously through the antics and experiences of a particular celebrity.

I am better than that.

YOU, WE are better than that.

So if you want to join me in my boycott of celebrities who serve absolutely or very little purpose hit me back or just simply change the channel whenever a discussion is ensuing about one of their latest tactics, read a book on something important to you or just simply do something meaningful to the advancement of your life or others BE the ANTI-celebrity but if you must choose a celebrity to help you cope with mundane occurrances of everyday life pick people that HAVE made significant contributions or continue to make contributions to the advancement of your life or our lives.

As of today I know I will.
