On The Presidential Campaigns
I'm guessing you all caught the Charlie "let's grill Obama about nonsense instead of anything that matters" Gibson's "exclusive interview" with Palin - the first questions she's fielded since her nomination (just amazing... how much cramming does she need to do?!). I know the average citizen doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine refers to, but shouldn't a candidate for Vice President have some idea?
Copied below, in chronological order starting with the most recent, are links to some of the finest gems I've been able to unearth from the vast wastes of the Internets. If you're like me, they'll be a cool drink of refreshing reason, with a chaser of sickening ohmygodOrwell'sfutureisheretoday.
The article on feminism, a topic that I think is usually way too academic, wordy, impractical and over-dramatic (yes, yes, I know - hilariously inappropriate and mysoganistic comments <tips hat and takes a bow>) was possibly the most educational thing I've read in weeks, as it clearly and consisely articulates what I've been feeling while untangling the knot of confusion and disgust that's been roiling around my insides since Palin's nomination.
Any thoughts? Love to hear em.
