I had a friend send this to me, and I thought it was brilliant ;)
How to torture Caribou Barbie....
We may have thought we wanted a woman on a national political ticket, but the joke has really been on us, hasn't it? Are you as sick to your stomach as I am at the thought of Sarah Palin as Vice President of the United States ?
Since Palin gave her speech accepting the Republican nomination for the Vice Presidency, Barack Obama's campaign has raised over $10 million dollars. Some of you may already be supporting the Obama campaign financially; others of you may still be a little honked off over the primaries. None of you, however, can be happy with Palin's selection, especially her positions on women's issues. So, if you feel you can't support the Obama campaign financially, may I suggest the following fiendishly brilliant alternative?
Make a donation to Planned Parenthood. In Sarah Palin's name. And here's the good part: when you make a donation to PP in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor. Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website:
www.plannedparenthood.org/
You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:
McCain for President
1235 S Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington, VA 22202
.
I'm not big on sending in donations to political campaigns. I'd definitely like to see Obama win this election, but I'm just not into sending money to the democrats. Planned parenthood, however, is a worthy cause to me. I'm happy to support them, and the f-you to Palin is just a bonus ;)
