We were born to lose

This person asked if I had seen Palin at the convention last night. And then went on to tell me how excited she is that she finally - for the first time in her life - has a hero in politics. She could barely contain her joy in sharing with me all of the amazing, wonderful things about Palin. She has five children. She's opposed to birth control. She is 100% opposed to abortion. She belongs to the NRA. She's in the union and so is her husband. She supports the oil industry. She's beautiful, intelligent and a good mother.

Ladies....remember, at one time, birth control (particularly that used by women) was ILLEGAL. As was abortion. We've taken steps back before, it could happen again.

*deep breath*I have to maintain my faith that this country will look at McCain/Palin and see that we will be getting ourselves a repeat of the last 8 years. And we CANNOT have that.

I won't say what I'm truly thinking here, because oooh boy would it get me in a pot of hot water. I will just say again that as a person, McCain is perfectly wonderful. As a politician, he scares me. And Palin...I'm not even sure she *is* human. I think she's an Alaskan Stepford wife.

The vending machine just gave me two Reeses instead of one ^_^

Also, apparently t.A.T.u has changed 'Waste Management' to 'Happy Smiles'...unless it's a weird marketing ploy to throw us all off? Sigh, just release the album girls. Please?

Well, guess it's bed time for me. Not really tired since I just showered, but oh well.
