"Sarah Palin says she doesn't know why most women don't support her candidacy or why others believe she is unqualified to be vice president, but says it makes her determined to keep fighting."

Ummm... maybe because I'm not the only one who hears Barbie's "math is hard" comment every time we look at you?  Maybe because being able to see Russia from ( Read more... )

The new hoopla is about the Republicans spending $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin.

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it’s remarkable that we’re spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses. It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign," Palin ( Read more... )

I just have to say, I'm pretty delighted that Michelle Bachmann has gotten herself into such hot water.  What a stoopid woman.  It's always so satisfying when self-righteous, hateful, ignorant people shoot themselves in the foot, saving everyone else the trouble.  I really think she's just not all that bright, and that she tried - badly - to copy ( Read more... )

I hate head colds. I can function just fine with a fever, but colds really take me down. I can't think, I feel whiny, and I just want to sit in front of the computer and veg while I kill goblins and murlocs and such. Unfortunately, playing WoW doesn't pay the bills.

"We need to think about why we're voting for people. Who do I want to be elected? We need to do research."

That prompted Emmanuelle to create a way to make others think more about the candidates than about their gender. After two weeks of mulling over phrases in her head, "I ( Read more... )

Okay, after getting kind of angsty about politics the chick theme made me laugh.   :)

I tried to stay away from the presidential race out of self-defense.  I knew I'd be voting for Clinton or Obama - I'm a pretty dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.  I didn't want to get invested because it sucks a lot of energy to watch the "we're up / we're down" coverage.  But then I made the fatal mistake and watched Obama's speech at the DNC.  I got ( Read more... )
