Missin' Ms. Palin

Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, tagged , , on November 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Now that it’s all over, now that John McCain has gone back to Mavericking, and Barak Obama has gone on to make history, now that Joe Sixpack only has empties, Joe Biden has the Vice Presidency, and Joe the Plumber has gone back to doing whatever it is an unlicensed plumber does,  I can’t help [...]

Wall Street and the (Stair)Masters of the Universe

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , on October 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I walked past a job fair yesterday.  Usually, I find them quaint: young, fresh faced, newly graduated and full of hope candidates line up, looking excited at the prospect of their first job, their grown-up life. This group of people, however, looked neither young, nor fresh-faced, nor hopeful.  I saw middle-aged men in expensive looking [...]

Stepford Sarah: Palin Programmed for Debate!

Today, I got this email from my brother: Gee willikers, wasn’t Sarah Palin swell last night. Let those East Coast media elites say what they will, but that was one heckuva whizbang show ole Sarah put on. Gosh oh golly she was great. What a nifty VP she’ll make, dontcha think? For those of you [...]

McCain Changes Slogan from Country First to Campaign First!

Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, Rants, tagged , , , , , , , on October 1, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Ok. So he didn’t really change his slogan. He might as well have. I mean, far be it from me to accuse a decorated war hero of being less than patriotic…but does anyone out there really believe that McCain was thinking “Country First” when he picked the TOTALLY unprepared (albeit quite perky) Sarah Palin as [...]

Sing, Sarah Palin, Sing!

Posted in Humor, Politics, tagged , , , on September 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Last night, I went to see a neighbor’s cabaret show.  You know, one of those things where you rent out the space, hire the band, and then invite all your friends to pay a cover charge, drink the two drink minimum and come to hear you sing.  And all I could think about, the whole [...]

John McCain Should've Picked Me!!

Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, Rants, tagged , , on September 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Every time I see Sarah Palin, a former beauty queen (runner up), mother of many, not all that experienced governor of a state that has about as many residents as my building.  I cannot believe that John McCain would do this.  I mean, why not pick Elisabeth Hasselbeck?  She’s cute. She’s conservative.  And people have [...]

Gibson Girl: How Last Night's ABC Interview Made Scary Sarah Palin Scarier than Ever

Posted in Politics, Rants, tagged , , on September 12, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Last night I watched Charlie Gibson interview Sarah Palin on ABC News.  It was a little light on the tough follow-ups.  A little long on her generic aphorisms about victory being in sight and being vigilant.  Short on facts, and answers to the actual questions asked.  And a teeny bit too perky. But overall, she [...]

White House Bunny: Anna Faris for VP

Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, tagged , , , , , , on September 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

If “perky” is all you need to be to be Vice President of the United States, then I nominate Anna Faris, star of the new movie House Bunny…or at least her character, Shelley. She is eminently qualified for any number of reasons. First of all, she’s an advocate for the little guys. (Or the nerdy [...]

Mom for President!

Posted in Humor, Kids, Laughs, Parenting, Politics, Working Mom, tagged , , on September 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »

With the conventions over, and Sarah Palin’s nasty speech somehow energizing the right, it’s starting to seem as if the Republicans are going to win. Something must be done.   So I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring.  I’m running on the MOM platform.  And it’s not an acronym.  I’m running as a Mom, [...]

The Republican Mob

Posted in Politics, Rants, tagged , , , , , on September 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I won’t bother to state the obvious:  that the film that preceded McCain’s speech had productions values so low it made home-movies on You Tube look good.  That the incessant use of ancient-looking black and white photos (photos!)  didn’t help make John McCain seem any younger. (Not that I think he’s old.  72 is the [...]
