If the Polar Bears don’t move you to go and do everything in your power to get Obama elected then consider the chant that filled the hall after Palin spoke at the RNC, “Drill Drill Drill.” I think of teeth when I think of drills. I think of rape. I think of destruction. I think of domination. I think of military exercises that force mindless repetition, emptying the brain of analysis, doubt, ambiguity or dissent. I think of pain.
Most of us realize it’s ok to choose to work inside or outside the Home. What should raise everyone’s hackles is that she was back at work THREE DAYS after birth - that’s not representing the kind of work/life balance that I want this country to move toward! I want Dads/partners to have paid family leave to bond with their family also… not emulating the Japanese “salaryman” model of the absent breadwinner, whatever their gender.
McCain will be the oldest first term president in history with a history of health concerns. If America is concerned that Obama isn’t ready, how could anyone say Palin is?
Pro-life Conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you, they don’t want to hear about you, no nothing. No neonatal care, no daycare, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine. If you’re pre-school, you’re fucked.
I seriously wonder how people have the time to twitter or tumblr all day. I have to work for a living. Seriously. I’m jealous.
McCain is so old, his name is actually Cain. He added the ‘Mc’ to avoid the nagging stigma of murdering his brother.
