So I spent the first hour of my technical-work-time reading Sarah Palin's speech and news articles about her and the RNC, & essentially making myself angrier and angrier. It's not the best way to start out the morning. But then my dad came in with this video: Jon Stewart on Palin's media surrogates--and it made me feel so much better.


I have the feeling that this election season for me is going to be a cycle of reading news stories & getting really fucking pissed, & then watching Jon Stewart & Keith Olbermann to soothe my ruffled soul. Not a bad version of chamomile tea, I think.

Hahah! Excellent video. Jon Stewart is awesome.

The decision I've come to about Ms. Palin is that regardless of her experience, of whether her daughter is pregnant, of her ability to field-dress a moose, what it really comes down to for me is that I disagree with her on EVERY SINGLE PLATFORM. So it really doesn't make any difference to me whether she's Miss America or the former secretary of state; I won't vote for her.

EXACTLY. Leave off her daughter, I don't care. I just know that she's a radical-right lady who has totally different views than I do, most especially concerning the fact that I know she's belonged to several congregations that would like to literally bring about Armageddon right now. I mean. If you want me dead? I'm not voting for you. Blegh.

I saw a blog post this morning (http://www.boingboing.net/2008/09/04/video-footage-of-sar.html) that claims she has said that the Alaska pipeline and the Iraq war are a "task from God," which is some pretty scary shit, if you ask me.

She literally terrifies me. Literally.

Yes, this is exactly my life right now.
