What a dumbass choice McCain made. I think he must be boning her-that's the only thing I can figure out. I struggled with career the entire time I raised up ONE child, and I can't fathom what it would be like to have 5 including a handicapped child. Oh yeah, and be the vice president of the United States at the same time.
Even with a husband and a bucketload of money, kids take time and energy.
Frankly, I'm insulted. I'm insulted as a parent, and I'm insulted as a woman. He truly has made VP like a "wife" job-no full time capabilities required.
I live in a family of staunch Republicans (heaven help me) and even THEY think he was off his nut. Not that Palin is a bad lady-she just has no experience-her state has the population of a minor city.
Talk about the ultimate token woman. Her educational background is in....journalism. The people I knew in J-school were not quite like the people I knew in business school. They were passionate and meant well (like me) but not really big on hard core decisions or strategies. I'm just sayin.
On a happier note, I think people who would have voted for McShitforBrains will vote against Palin. I've never been a total Hilary fan, but I know some, and I don't think people who are Hilary lovers are going to love this chick either.
I'm telling you now-he's boning her. It's the only reason I can think of.

Olympics and the State of the Species
Watched most of the opening ceremonies-China did herself proud. I'm not a fan of all the sports, but I do like the idea behind the Olympics, set aside political differences and become a Divine Animal for a couple of weeks.
It's hard to set aside politics when your fearless leader is sitting hunchbacked and splayed legged for the entire world to see. Good grief man, the job isn't over until January, and you can't sit upright for 4 hours? Yeah, it was probably a Democrat that panned over when you were taking a break, but after all those years in the public eye, you'd think you would have clued into the fact that there are cameras at major world events. I saw a man bored out of his mind by the spectacle of the atheletes parading by. The idea is to set aside political DIFFERENCES and REPRESENT, and da bush let us down again.
In other surprising news, I watched part of a show on "Sex and the Brain"...it would have been better titled "Gender and the Brain" and then I might have seen the entire show. We've evolved to the point where we have to explain our brains to ourselves, and then ask the question (or rather the show did) , "can the brain disconnect from itself to truly understand itself?" We are the ultimate narcississits (although we invented the idea, so we SHOULD be good at it).
I was going to write about the superior fireworks of the Chinese, all the feel good stuff, but the image of that man not sitting quite upright in the stadium, representing U.S......I can't shake it. It goes beyond politics. That's the donkey (or elephant) who truly believes we did not evolve and we are here as the pinnacle of creation. My exact words when I was sitting home in my living room were "Oh my fucking god....."
