and now for something a little political . . .

[peg22]

okay so I'm not even in the continental US, but I am in the continental continent and I cannot be the only one who is scared like Dean Vs. the Hellhounds of MRS. PALIN.  Seriously, I could have an entire class dedicated to her form of rhetoric and double speak and folksy innacuracies and word-arounds. And I am almost NEVER political, but I also believe that the rational, smart, common sensical American people have this position of "well, they're all cuckoo and certainly not a problem," but it really makes me want to shout loud and long for all the rational smart common sensical Americans to WATCH YOUR BACKS. I just think that she is either a distraction - "pay no attention to what's behind the curtain . . ." - or the face of something I do not want the U.S. to become . . . of course, I am also one who wants Robert Redford to run for president, so  . . . p.s. does the woman not know that the political DNA of "state's rights" is SLAVERY???? Pick up a book, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU.  Okay, back to fun and fandom and watching Hutch clean the house . . .

If anything keeps me up nights, it's the thought of her running the country. But the more that her true idiocy is revealed, the more her salivating base wraps itself around her, screaming that we're just persecuting her cause she's a good Christian woman who don't believe in that claptrap evolution shit and Supreme Court is just a bunch of activist judges, so why bother knowing even one thing they passed in the last two centuries?

I compare it to this autism vs vaccine thing. The study in the Lancet that all the vaccine-scare-group point to was officially withdrawn by the Lancet because of shoddy and even criminal work done by the "doctor" who performed the study. So you go to those people sure that vaccines are the cause and tell them that the man has been thoroughly discredited and his mythos debunked and tell them exactly what he did TO the children in his study and what do they say "Oh, you're just a bunch of LIARS! LIARS LIARS LIARS!! It's all a big government conspiracy put out by the pharaceutical companies!!!"

And here we're talking about the very real possibility of these unvaccinated children starting up a plague of measles, mumps, pertussis nd all the rest just because they refuse to believe that the guy who did the study has been exposed as a total asshole.

That's the way the idiots are around Palin. I mean, she thinks men rode and tamed dinosaurs, for god's sake.
