Political Musings

[dana3]

Political Musings, specifically focusing on the Palin matter, in response to some friends' questions and thoughts. Behind a cut, cause some folks just don't care. And left public, cause some folks who might have opinions worth hearing may not be on my flist.

LOL!! Icon was a custom job, credit to onyxtwilight. BTW meets filk meets Thelema. Gank at will, please credit the creator.

Context of its creation, as I remember it:
Somebody was boring the snot out of a board about their perception of the utter crucial cross-pollination of the two meetings between Gardner and Crowley, and going so far overboard as to declaim that there would be no Gardnerian Craft if it hadn't been for Uncle Al. ::yawn:: Scuse me while I [bu**sh**] sneeze. After blowing my nose and causing a creative person to hatch a new icon, then I tore them up for cardinal stupidity. ::grin::

The entire Palin thing stinks on ice.

Give the politicians' kids a break? Yeah . . . I think that went out the window with Caroline and John-John. Public figures, public scrutiny. If you don't want your family in the spotlight, choose another career. If your family life won't stand up to the scrutiny, consider it beforehand.

I'm putting money on Levi Johnston cracking under the magnifying glass sooner rather than later.

You see the baby-bump on the teenager in that last picture? So do I. So does an entire board of womens' health professionals. Oh btw, that pic has been re-dated to 2006, so all relevant conclusions (like the baby belongs to the teen) can be rebutted. But yeah, lots of us think teh allegedly '06 pic shows a baby bump. Jes' sayin ... :D

You want to be discussing your oldest's military service? He should be IN UNIFORM you dumb bitch, if his service is on the table in a public context. Disrespectful to leave him in civvies while you discuss his military career in public -- disrespectful to the service involved, disrespectful to all those who lived and died in the uniform of this country.

I twitched about the lack of uniform, and then twitched more by the thought of him sitting there in dress greens. I would have hated to see him used as a naked symbol to link patriotism with Republican policy--which they could have easily done AND exploited. I was actually relieved that it didn't happen.
