Sarah Palin
October 17, 2008
- Sarah Palin is NOT an expert on children with special needs and the political correctness or whatever it is that has designated her one is seriously annoying me. What are people thinking? Yes, Sarah and Todd Palin have a son with Down Syndrome. Yes, they knew about his disability and chose to continue the pregnancy anyway. I respect them for that decision--it is the same one I would have ...

- The way John McCain and Sarah Palin have been moving away from the ostensible leader of their party, you’d think George W. Bush had lice. Of course when a man presides over a long and unpopular war, the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, and moves into uncharted territory for presidential disapproval ratings, it gets very itchy for the heirs of his political mantle.In fact, ...

- MORAINE, Ohio, Oct, 15...Sixpack has been a proud name in the Ohio River valley for seven generations. But that will end today. Joe Sixpack VI, the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of the original settler is changing his name. "We Sixpacks have been mocked and humiliated by the media and by unscrupulous politicians," he says. "I won't stand for it any ...

- OK, so this blog has nothing to do with books, and precious little to do with writing. But I just wrote this parody song about Gov. Sarah Palin, sang it last night (Oct. 14) at the monthly jam with the band, Los Train Wreck, here in San Francisco, and a guy asked for a copy of the lyrics so he could put them online.Fine with me, but, the way things go, he's likely to post it without proper ...

- I don’t feel bad for John McCain anymore. Now I feel angry. Over the course of tonight’s debate I saw a man who was petty and angry and completely without honor. Spouting off falsehoods and continuing to attack Obama with lies while trying to play the victim and get him to “repudiate” John Lewis. Obama, again to his credit, did not rise to the bait. You could see the frustration ...

- Flanked by Cindy and Sarah, who've been programmed to smile and nod in coordination with each of John McCain's boasts, promises and wild accusations, the threesome reminds me less of a viable political team than a nightclub act. Which of us wouldn't flock to Vegas to see, "John McCain and the Attendants?" McCain's crankiness could be played for laughs by casting him as diva-like, sure ...

- Every four years, presidential candidates try to convince us that the next election is the most critical in U.S. history. “Our nation is at a crossroads” the politicians are fond of intoning. This year, however, that tattered cliché is actually true.A win by John McCain would elect our first female vice president. Few feminist who fought for the rights of women during the 1960s ever dreamed ...

- TGIF is no longer just the happy hour marking the end of "Casual Friday" and may become less celebratory with "Casual Friday" evolving into "Casual Everyday" as lay-offs are on the rise. But sundown will surely remain the preferred time for politicians to release information they hope will go unnoticed. This past Friday's late-in-the-day revelation was that Sarah ...
