Even though Sarah Palin is lying her moose hunting ass off.…………
I’d also point out for the benefit of those who love her -that I knew I was right when The Economist agrees with me:
The Palin appointment is yet more proof of the way that abortion still distorts American politics. This is as true on the left as on the right. But the Republicans seem to have gone furthest in subordinating considerations of competence and merit to pro-life purity. One of the biggest problems with the Bush administration is that it appointed so many incompetents because they were sound on Roe v Wade. Mrs. Palin’s elevation suggests that, far from breaking with Mr. Bush, Mr. McCain is repeating his mistakes.
Now mind you, my dislike is simpler-my bitchdar keeps going off when her name is mentioned. And if there is one thing I can sense well l-it’s bitches. At least now I can-in my younger days, not so much. If I had a bitchdar at 22, I’d be a lot richer now.
Today I was out with the S.O. to get stuff for palatial Skippy estates-which we move into next week. And to add insult to injury, I had to turn down a job offer in Italy that came clear out of the blue. I thought hard about it- I really did. I’m dying to get back overseas-even if it is only to Europe. At least Europe would have decent train service and bars to go to. This was a throwback to my job hunt this last spring. Wish they had brought this forth then. I can’t help but think I am making a big mistake-but for now, I will stick to my plan and to my commitments. But it is becoming clear that I’m no longer cut out for life on the wrong side of the dateline. Seeing a tiny box of an apartment in Soho just had my heart a twitter.
We watched an HGTV show together tonight-this was after I woke up from being asleep for the last 5 hours. I did not feel good when we got back. I know why-its the friction burns from feeling the chains locked down against my ankles. And then, to add insult to injury, this HGTV house hunters program shot in Hong Kong. Seeing the scenery from SoHo made me want to cry. Funny thing though -this person wanted to move back to Hong Kong Island from Lantau Island-into SoHo. She is a svelte little unit too. ( The real estate agent was not so bad either.)
So now I am truly depressed. Fortunately there is beer in the fridge. I do miss Asia!
Decided to shoot the wad though and get a satellite dish. That way the S.O. can watch Japanese TV-and I can have 250 channels+. Since its not like I get to go out anymore-I’ve got to have something to do at night. Especially in lieu of the declining stock market and the S.O.G index……………
Probably Yasuo Fukuda had me summed up when he pointed out:
“You said I sounded detached, but I am able to see myself objectively. I am different from you. (Watashi wa anata to chigau desu!)”
Speaking of Japan-They caught the monkey!
Going to go back to bed now-I really do not feel well. Unlike Sarah Palin-I don’t have 10 days to go hide-I have to be back at work on Monday.
BTW did you know that she is not the only politician with a son serving in Iraq? I’ll bet you didn’t-seems nobody wants to acknowledge Beau Biden. Why is that?
More tomorrow.
