A sign to show I'm not dead - thoughts on Sarah Palin

Greetings the 10 guys who read this blog. My life continues to be stamped under the cruel foot of a massive project at work. Plus I am approaching a new format for my videos. I want to release something soon which will be a bit of an experiment.

But in the meantime. John McCain has nominated Sarah Palin to be his VP running mate. Being the cynical bastard that I am I though something to the effect of “this is a ploy to egg up the diversity of his campaign” and “this is a ploy to hook the disenfranchised Hillary voters”. One should about such knee-jerk reactions to things such as this though, one can speculate but ultimately such speculations are not built on much.

So digging further reveals that many on the right who I respect are very excited about the McCain-Palin ticket. Anyone who has seen my videos will notice a bit of a man-crush on Dennis Prager and Dennis is almost jumping up and down in excitement. Most reactions from the right are good.

The left has its smear machine in full gear. Which given that any critique of Hillary made us all sexists.. makes them a bunch of sexists. Anyone who the left hates has to be alright so I consider this to be very promising.

Whos Behind the Anti-Palin Smear?

Sarah Palin and Creationism

But let’s be honest. Sarah Palin is an attractive younger woman (politically speaking mind) and this has undoubtedly had a huge amount to do with being picked. I do think that she has the political chops as well. And politics is politics so all in all.. I’m feeling pretty good about it.

I can’t wait to hear what feministing has to say about this.

The umbrella in particular is remembered as the symbol of the nineteenth century’s disturbing obsession with individualism. In Bellamy’s utopia, umbrellas have been replaced with retractable canopies so that everyone is protected from the rain equally.
“In the nineteenth century,” explains a character, “when it rained, the people of Boston put up three hundred thousand umbrellas over as many heads, and in the twentieth century they put up one umbrella over all the heads.”
