Palin's Pathetic Prattle
I just watched Sarah Palin's speech and it made me very aware of some very sad facts. If, somehow, McCain got elected, and, God forbid, something happened that Palin would have to take office, we'd all be royally screwed. Secondly, all of those jokes, her good looks, and her charisma is going to win over some people. Very sad. I saw right through ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Sarah Palin?
I will give it up to McCain for his caniving-ness in choosing a woman just to get women's votes, especially disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters. So in that way, he made a good choice. However, her zilch experience and her pregnant daughter are going to be a liability. Who knows though. I guess we'll find out in November...

Disability History
While looking for communities on LJ that were interested in disability history, I found none except two personal LJ's that hadn't even been updated.

McCain's Vice President
I just saw that McCain tapped Sarah Palin to be his V.P. running mate. What the hell? I swear he just did it on purpose to screw with the Democrats. Since Obama picked an easy, boring choice that wasn't a woman, McCain thought he'd shake things up. Twenty five percent of women haven't decided on their vote yet, so he is trying to get them. That's ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Spirits
I work at an historical college that doubled as a morgue for some Civil War soldiers. I haven't physically seen one, but I have definitely heard and felt them all around. I hear piano music when no one is in the house but me. Someone else has heard furniture being moved and female voices. I definitely believe that some people die either under ( Read more... ) -
Dating with a Disability
As a person with a visual impairment, I've always had trouble meeting people and making friends. In high school, it was absolutely horrendous. However, I thought college would be an improvement. Although it was to some extent, I still found the same biases. I only dated two people in college, which was two more than I did in high school. One ( Read more... )
