I’m working and thinking and thinking about work stuff and thinking about non work stuff- like “Maybe the mailman is delivering later in the evening and I’ll have mail if I check it en route to work.” I was right! I checked the mail five times yesterday and once this morning for… a Safeway coupon!!! YAY! 2 bucks off their signature meal.
There was definite good though. Aside from another sleepless night, I had a wonderful hair morning! It was beautiful and shiny and happy and looked GREAT! As soon as I got to work it was frizzy and fallen, so I ran in the restroom with the emergency bobbypins and did the defeated ‘upsweep’.
Alright- enough about that. On to the topic that hasn’t been over done… Palin. Wonderful person I’m sure, the kind you might want to grab a drink with or beat the crap out of in a bar… but run the country? I do have to stand up for her. The people who got on her case for the $150,000 wardrobe spending (that apparently is on loan her and her family are not keeping any of it). You have to take in consideration that she’s from Alaska and I know what that’s like. Her idea of the Lower 48 is from satellite tv. She probably thinks $150,000 is a normal spending amount for anything non-flannel.
She has to buy her clothing at a place NBC in Manhattan can easily purchase for Tina Fey. I’ve been to Manhattan and I don’t recall seeing any Walmarts. Washington is quite sure how to dress a female politician, Hilary always got her clothes at the Mens Warehouse (kidding Hilary).
I am really getting sick of hearing about her! I don’t recall the last time a VP candidate received so much attention BEFORE the election. The countries reaction mimicks that of a comic book or RPG store when a female walks in. You’re met with confusion, assumptions and once in awhile harrassment from those who didn’t pass out or mess themselves. OMG people- the VP has a uterus!! Let’s either hoist her on our shoulders and let her be the ruler of all because of that- or create a lynch mob and burn her at stake.
McCain-Palin Rift Grows
The divisions in the McCain-Palin campaign continue to widen with one senior McCain aide telling Mike Allen that Gov. Sarah Palin is “a whack job.”
Meanwhile, George Stephanopoulos said this about the “demoralized” McCain campaign on ABC News this morning: “Palin is going to be the most vivid chapter of the McCain campaign’s post-mortem… Those loyal to McCain believe they have been unfairly blamed for over-handling Palin. They say they did the best they could with what they got.” heh
I’m finished for now with that topic.
I watched a movie last night, “Otis”. Wow. All I can say is “Wow”. It was good at first along with disturbing, then it was REALLY disturbing and then OMG this really f’ed up! Daniel Stern and Ashley Johnson, Illeana Douglas, and that guy who played the player in Dear John and had his own show for a short period of time starred in it.
