Blogging from the airport

Please forgive any typos and short hand typing, I dont have spell check and u know its not comfy typing on these pdas.

1. I took Marta, cuz u know its smarta. I got on the plane kinda jiggy in my work clothes and sexy hot shoes. Immediately, 3 men offered me their seat. I graciously said thank you and announced, "they dont do that in new york!" Which got a giggle out of those around me and generated some chatter.

2. What would u do if u were getting married and the venue called u 2 days before to cancel? Hurricane, schmuricane. So my bffs wedding is cancelled at the chrysler musuem and the alternatice is the marriott hotel. I hope this is not a precursor to their relationship.

3. I think that I will start a seperate blog for my political banter. I want to link certain people in, but I dont want them all extra in my bizness. Sure they could find this blog on their own; however im not inviting them.

4. How ironic that im eating wendys before i go to the 757. Which successfully upset my stomach. Erg, i hate fast food like that...but those damn fries will make me a large lady one day.

5. Miracle man has been entertaining. In the words of TIH, that is all.

What can we do?

I hope you are as offended by Palin's speech as I am.

I'm offended on many levels. First that you think that I'm too stupid to see through the Republican Rhetoric. Obama is going to raise taxes? I'm sorry, I'm in the 80%majority of people who would actually benefit from his economic. Who are you speaking to? Ohh...that's right, your constituents.

I'm offended MOST by her belittling Obama's community organizing experience. One person came to mind, don't know if you've heard of him: Martin Luther King. She invalidated him. Martin Luther King was a community organizer that was a great speaker who was motivated by a dream...a hope...a vision.

The hypocrisy makes me heart hurt. Seriously y'all my angst with her words have seeped into my physical being. My heart literally hurts.

The sad thing people is that there are millions of 'small town,' Americans that will eat this rhetoric up. They probably laughed heartily at her zingers and started to question their support of Obama.

I want to talk to these people. To ensure that they know the facts. Unlike Barack, I won't take the high road and not question the hyporcrisy. Unlike the Media, I will call John McCain out for leaving his disabled wife for a younger rich trollop/cunt. I want to GO IN. How can we do this?

Serious Question: Where would you be?

How do you think your life would be different if your mother chose her career over family?

In college, I used to truly believe that I could do it all. People saw me, a young woman who was involved in volunteering, Supervisor of a campus job, NABA Vice President, and Student Council Representative...and assumed that I'd aspire to become a C-level executive of some Corporation. And I blieved that too.

Until I got into the working world.

I was exposed to the type of women that were top executives of the Company that I worked for. They did not resonate with the woman that I aspired to truly be. Who is this woman?

My MOTHER.

My mother is Ivy League decorated. Her peers are amongst the best & brightest at NY Times and NBC. But you know what? They don't have children. They opted to pursue their career over a family life. To each his/her own; but observing that left a strong impression on me.

My mother was the REAL soccer/basketball/piano/gymnastics/PTA mother. When I cried, she was there. When I got caught up in bad things, she was there. When I laughed, she was there. When she took me to the gynecologist who asked if I was sexually active, she left the room to put my health and safety above Jesus Christ (yes, I said it). I then immediately told her the truth that yes, I was 17 and sexually active and she immediately put me on the pill. But she was THERE.

You know where she was not?

In some board room parenting a business or the government.

I have no clue where I'd be without my mother. And I really ponder in light of Palin. What mother with 5 children, one having a disability opt to parent the government over her own children? That is the antithesis of family values.

Women, if you had 5 children, including a new born with downs syndrom...would you accept the position as CEO of your Company...or the top role that you could possibly achieve in your desired field? Is there a proper time in life to do such things?

Are you dating a loser?

Good Read

90210 :-) Yea!!!



The inner 16 year old in me is so pumped. I tried to watch the RNC to feel well balanced. But I couldn't do it, it was too lame.

OMG - Shannon, the guy from the Pit. OMG OMG OMG. This is AWESOME. Kelly!

There's even a black person on the show in a permanent role.

I'm taking shots for every black person I see at the DNC

I am sober.

3 shots. (Actually, I'm not...but I thought it'd be a great drinking game).

This tells you a LOT about how out of touch the Republican Party is with America. It looks like a party of exclusion. Like a KKK rally.

To Summarize...

Because it's hard to keep up with all of the Palin news...

1. Palin belonged to an Alaskan seccionist independent party for approximately 2 years. In laymen terms, this party believed that Alaska should, "seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution. And, "to prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature."

2. Her 17 year old unmarried daughter is pregnant. She is an ultra-conserative, Pat Buchanan republican who thinks that abstinence is the best message to deliver in sex-ed and is also anti-abortion. Choice = Have the baby and get married to the man. Is that what the 17 year old child wants to do? We'll never know b/c we're not allowed to ask.

3. She was almost recalled as Mayor

4. She directed fundraising for indicted Ted Steven's 527 group.

Those are the major items. I'm sure you've found some other highly questionable activities about her. The culmination of this information PISSES ME OFF. John McCain is an idiot and those voting for him are idiotic. Period. I could respect a person's choice to not vote for Obama; however, the only intelligent alternative is to abstain from voting.

Campbell GOES IN:

Apples, Trees, and Dates

1. Sarah Palin's first son, Track Palin, was born on April 20.

2. Sarah Palin was married on August 29, 1988. She eloped.

3. 38 weeks is the typical human pregnancy.

4. 38 weeks before her son's birthday, April 20, 1989, is July 28, 1988 - i.e., that would be the hypothetical day of conception.

5. If this data is correct, that would mean that Sarah Palin eloped four weeks after her son's conception.

6. Sarah Palin's son could still be legitimate if he was born four weeks premature, AND if he was conceived on the night his parents eloped.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. See the StorkNet Due Date Chart and see what your conclusion is. Unless the first baby was a premmie, fo' sho' she conceived the child out of wedlock.

Palin demonstrates the push-pull relationship behind women's rights and family.

A while ago I posted a Confession that I'm anti-feminist as I believe that it is impossible to be a uber-successful woman and a good mother.

Raising a family is perhaps one of THE hardest tasks that God graced humanity with. Hard, yet fulfilling and wonderful. Raising a great child far exceeds any monetary bonus that a CEO could receive.

I feel like Palin demonstrates best how being a 'successful' liar woman compromises having an active role as a mother in a family.
