Girls Say Yes!

I love both of these posters but apparently the girls at Salon.com don't. Considering the inordinate amount of sexism in this political race, I can see why they don't like the variation of the Joan Baez poster. I personally love it because it's very tongue in cheek. If these women were nearly nude or had something porny on, I could totally see why the Salon chicks think that this is sexual.
Sexual? No. Empowering? Yes.
These women picture aren't selling their bodies for a candidate or offer sexual favors for a candidate. It's just saying fuck yeah! I can vote for a non-female canidate and be damn proud!

Bitch PLEASE!

As an aspiring journalist, I get really pissy when people mock the news media. News organizations are far from perfect and some are even biased *cough* Fox News *cough* but if you are making bs claims just because an interview didn't go your way, you deserve to be ran over by a steamroller.

See Sarah Palin:

Yes, I do hate myself a little for linking to a Fox News segment.

BITCH PLEASE!!

You couldn't even name a newspaper.


I don't think Palin realizes that a good politician is worldly...as in, they know about world affairs because they read papers, like uggh, let me think here...the New York Times! the Boston Globe! the Wall Street Journal! the Christian Science Monitor! the Washington Post! OMG, naming those drained my brain.[/sarcasm]

Oh! Oh! Oh! But she says more!

On her response to Katie Couric’s question about what she reads:

“My response to her, I guess it was kind of filtered. But, I was sort of taken aback, like, the suggestion was, you're way up there in a far away place in Alaska. You know, that there are publications in the rest of the world that are read by many. And I was taken aback by that because I don't know, the suggestion that this was a little bit of perhaps we're not in tune with the rest of the world."

On her relationship with the media:

“I'll tell you, what I used to do is commit to not being so annoyed and impatient with mainstream media. And I will make that commitment because I do understand that that is how I speak to the American people in a position like this. I speak to you and through you and that way, that message is received by American people.”

“So, I apologize for the response that I gave through that interview on a couple of questions. I'm going to try harder. But, I would ask also then, that the media tries a little bit harder also. And that this is a two-way street. That there's fairness. Just objectivity and fairness and truth. That's all Americans ask for.”

“I look forward to speaking to the media more and more everyday and providing whatever access the media would want. My life is certainly an open book.”

From what I've heard, Palin is a journalism major. *le gasp* You wouldn't think by how she talks about the media! I'm sure she would know the intricacies of the media and if she had soooo many problems with it she should have stayed a journalist to better the profession.

It is better to be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Someone should have told Palin that before she took on this interview. If you can't stand the heat, leave the kitchen; if you can't stand the questions, leave the interview with your minimal intelligence intact.

Think About It

The United States may have one of the best militaries in the world but some of the people in charge of it are not very smart.

...especially those running Gitmo because they believe that those "terrorists" who commit suicide in prison are just trying to piss them off.
See the Washington Post:

"The U.S. military has maintained for two years that the [detainees'] suicides were a coordinated act of aggression; a military officer has called them an act of "asymmetric warfare" against the United States."

Yes, because
torturing these poor men couldn't possibly have caused this.

She makes my skin crawl.

I LOATHE Sarah Palin. The woman makes my skin crawl every time I hear something about her on the news. I just really, really, really don't like her. So when I saw this pic, I lol-ed.


One of the commentors posted that on Jezebel and I fell in love with.

Along with this:


But back to Palin. I won't get into the ins and outs of her politics in this post because I don't want my blood to boil at the moment. In all seriousness though, I thought that McCain picked Tina Fey to be his veep.



Palin and Fey look to much alike (I sincerly doubt that their political views are alike though), which is scary considering that Tina Fey is totally awesome and epic! Liz Lemon Tina Fey for president! I'd vote for her. XP

Now lets hear it from Jon Stewart!
