Sarah Palin
November 7, 2008
- In January, the U.S. will cross a barrier that many felt would never be breached—in our lifetimes at least. We will inaugurate an African-American president. Yet, this morning I remembered a prediction made back in the sixties. The feminists of that day claimed the U.S. would elect a black male as president before a woman of any color. That prediction has come true. But just barely. In 2008, ...

- Gentle Readers, it's a great day. History was made, and it was amazing. Just freaking amazing. Althought bittersweet here in California, where it looks like it's possible Prop 8 might win. Hopefully it might be turned over. However, with Senator McCain losing, this means one thing: We won't see Piper Palin anymore. Believe it or not, I'm a little sad about this. I've mentioned before that I feel ...

- When I was an undergrad at the University of Michigan, we used to all chant "the whole world is watching" in response to many situations -- El Salvador, missile defense systems, -- the list could go on and on. The idea of being outraged and taking to the central "Diag" to shout our disapproval came naturally to us. I saw this same trait in the Greenpeace sailors who got me ...

- Voting begins in less than 36 hours. So much has been written about this campaign that it’s pointless to try to rehash it all. In the last few months we have seen the rise of perhaps the greatest politician in a generation and the decline and eventual implosion of one of the only heroes t come out of Vietnam. All of the national polls show Barack Obama ahead, some by a wide ...

- Why is Ms. Palin being made out to be a bimbo when everyone else is in the process of selling themselves as well? Had I been a US citizen it is most certain that I would not vote Republican, but I find the treatment given out to Sarah quite distasteful. How many American feminists have raised their voices against the look-alike strippers at a gentleman’s club in Las Vegas who were judged based ...

- For the past few weeks, western media has been running stories on how "Hindus are driving out Christians" in India. New York Times (never the best of sources, but apprently widely read in that country) recently ran a headline screaming "Hindus Threat to Christians - Convert of Flee." Lets not forget this is a country where the presidential candidate can malign the opposition ...

- McCain and Palin are for the regular, normal, everyday Americans, the real people who work hard, go to church, pay their bills, and in particular, the regular Joes (not just plumbers) and the regular hockey/soccer/football/softball/t-ball-Moms who live in Pro-America. I’m a little concerned that they are, therefore, not in favor of the exceptional, the well-healed, well-educated America. ...

- Somewhere between Sarah Palin calling blue states un-American and citing Obama as being a misogynist because he didn't pick Hillary Clinton for his running mate, information has come to light that this so-called " maverick" and "reformer" is actually a big spender. However, dear readers, it is not her own money that she shells out, it's that of her dear tax payers in Alaska. ...

- To dress Sarah Palin and the Palinettes for campaign stops, the Republican party has spent over $150,000.

Hair and make-up ran an additional $4,716.49 through September. Whom did they ask for ...
