Still, she does have that vagina.

“How could anyone truly believe that Barack Obama’s background and job history are inadequate experience for a president, and simultaneously believe that Sarah Palin’s background and job history are perfectly adequate? It’s possible to believe one or the other. But both? Simply not possible. John McCain has been—what’s the word?—lying. And so have all the pundits who rushed to defend...

WORD.

I am so fucking sick of people talking about whether or not Sarah Palin is hot, as if that has any relevance on her ability to serve as VP.
For the record: I think she’s hot. I also think she sounds like a crazy anti-feminist woman who wants to destroy the environment. The latter outweighs the former.
(Sorry, the comments on this made me a bit stabby.)

Worth a read. Aside from the description of the local drama, which, sadly, my state lacks unless you count female teachers sleeping with their students, which doesn’t count as viable political theater, this was the quote that resonated:
When you’re hand-picked by a man to win votes simply because you are a woman, that doesn’t count, and it doesn’t break any kind of ceiling. Would we...
Obama's acceptance speech wasn't about being...
jgh:
squashed:
It was a great speech—and did a stellar job of everything it should have done. It outlined policy specifically enough to persuade the doubters without getting tediously pedantic. It aggressively challenged McCain and outlined many of their differences without getting nasty. It celebrated the moment but stayed firmly on the goal. It nodded to the moment of the occasion...
Obama's speech brought this to mind:

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark? And who are you that draws your veil across the stars? I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek-- And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak... O, yes, I say it plain,...
Obama fellatio
Well I’ve been voting for the last, um, hold on, let me count…nearly 11 years…and I get it, as much as I can. And I know my mother gets it even more — she hasn’t ever been as proud to vote for a candidate as she is to vote for Barack Obama.
karion:
I say this with complete sincerity and no brashness or hostility. I promise.
You really cannot know what it is like...
And I hate the theatrics of it all
Damn straight.
karion:
If Obama’s speech didn’t move you, you don’t have movable parts. Holy hell, I didn’t realize how starved I was for leadership and statesmanship. It is like having a Gatorade after an eight year bender. Actually, it is precisely like that.

I find this kind of hot.
It annoys the shit out of me when speeches as big as this one [Obama’s] are released before they are actually given and then the media reads excerpts. Like I want to hear Matthews read Obama’s words before he actually does. Shut. Up.
This album rules.

Watching the coverage of the DNC on MSNBC right now is making my heart swell. A fucking stadium for this man and for what he stands for.

Good for you, Leo! The asshole was taking advantage. I only wish you had taken down his badge number thingy so you could report him. They don’t get to “turn off” the credit card machine at their leisure.
