Palin Is NOT Motherly

Ironically, Sarah Palin would've been a better pick for VP if she had said "no" when asked by McCain to be his mate.
Saying "no" would have been the wise answer. Her young, unmarried daughter is due to birth a baby this winter, in the midst of all the election chaos.
It would have been compassionate and generous of her to remain more private in this tumultuous year her 17-year-old daughter is having.
It would have been motherly.
Instead she put Bristol's name out there front and center.
If Gov. Palin threw her teenaged daughter to the blogger wolves for career achievement, what will she do to the rest of us?

It would have been wiser to say no, since her other young son, an infant with a major handicap, needs much more attention than any working woman can give.
It would have been compassionate and generous of her to wait for baby Tig to grow up a little, before adding to her workload and business travel schedule.
It would have been motherly.

Palin governs a state of only 670,000 residents, smaller than Fort Worth, TX.
She might get overlooked next time if she passes on this chance. She most likely would get overlooked, as qualified women will be coming through the ranks.
Initially I thought it was McCain who had made a desperate move by choosing Palin.
Now I think the desperate one is Palin, don't you?

Killing The Messenger

How telling that the White House AND the press choose to kill the messenger instead of investigating the message that Bush was spinning like mad to create this war against "terrorism."
McClellan must be spot-on about everything he revealed!

The reasons the administration are attacking him are obvious. Such cowards. Afraid of being truthful and forthcoming. Like children.

The reasons the media are trying to beat him down probably involves their pride which would be hurt by knowing they were mis-led along with the rest of the peons. It also involves not harming chances of future Presidential and advisor access, even though hopefully this "future" will be be short.

Why is all the news about McClellan, instead of the terror Bush has brought upon us?

Sunday Wino

Tomorrow is a holiday. I have the day off from work and decided to get some groceries for the week. So this morning, I drove to a local grocery store.
At checkout, the clerk removed the bottle of Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon from the rest of my groceries
"We don't sell wine until noon today," she stated flatly.
It was 10:45 AM on Sunday.
Why is this law still in effect? It doesn't make me feel holy at all.
Wasn't the law enacted when conservative, white Christians made decisions for EVERYBODY else?
Oh, yea, they're still trying to do that.
So much for separation of church and state.
