I'm with Bent. I don't mind someone who smokes weed, as long as it's not an hourly habit.

Sad, but so true.

The "vicious cut and paste" was an opinion I agreed with and felt like sharing. As for mustering my own bile, I could certainly do that about you, someone I've never met, talked to, or knows. But, in playing with the Mingle2 rules, I won't.

I do judge my life by the standards I'm hammering Sarah Palin about. I'm not so arrogant as to think I could handle a job I'm totally unqualified for. I'm not a hypocrite, and I don't use cutesy mannerisms to shy away from telling the truth.

That's exactly what it is - an unsigned, undated order prepared by the Plaintiff accompanying his opposition to the Defendant's motion to dismiss. It has NOT been signed by a judge.

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?

Well it’s NOT you girl…

Look. I am going to say what everyone at CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC is thinking but is afraid to say. Governor Palin is a stupid, conniving *****. And it’s not because she is a strong woman - I like strong women… worship them… It’s actually the opposite. She is a weak, pathetic woman who thinks big hair, winking, baby talk and self deprecation is somehow becoming of a woman who wants to lead the free world. My god, where is Margaret Thatcher when you need her!

But what really makes me mad is the hypocrisy. She claims to be a Washington outsider and yet is the worst kind of politician. She will say anything and avoid answering any question instead choosing to spout whatever line or soundbite some adviser put into her mouth a few hours earlier. And exactly when did sounding like a hick make someone “more like us”. Last time I checked we were a country striving to educate our children to be intelligent and honest. I think I would die if my daughter came home from school and said something like “I gotta tell ya. Change is a comin’.” At the very least I would remove the Beverly Hillbillies from her approved TV viewing list.

And then there is Alaska. Have any of you been to Alaska recently? Although the largest State geographically, it has less than a million people - about 700,000. (The city I live in now is bigger. )Fewer population issues exist for lawmakers to address. And because they make so much money from the oil companies, the Alaskan government actually gives it citizens an annual dividend check (this year $3,200). Exactly what Governor wouldn’t be popular under those circumstances? No wonder they can afford to elect a governor who ony has an undergraduate degree in journalism and a few beauty pageant awards. By the way, when you got that journalism degree did they teach you that some journalists actually ask hard questions like what newpapers do you read?

Fact: Sarah Palin is stupid. Maybe not stupid by Alabama standards but stupid enough that she managed to get herself elected Governor while never bothering to educate herself on little things like the Constitution, foriegn affairs or appropriate debating practices. She is stupid enough to have accepted a VP nomination for which she is completely unqualified and stupid enough not to admit it - even though the future of our great nation could be irreversibly damaged by the decision.

When exactly do we all get to call “bull****”?

She loves to talk about being a mother but the last time I checked, having your newborn on national TV at 11PM instead of in bed wasn’t considered “good muthering“. Neither was making your child’s unexpected teen pregnancy the talk of the nation because you desperately wanted to be a politician in Washington DC - or isn’t that exactly what you said you didn’t want. From where I sit, it appears you would sell your soul for the position. Kind of the way that Elizabeth girl on The View sold her soul for fame. Please god get her off the airwaves - she became famous because she ate a rat… but I digress…

Oh and my favorite - my husband Todd (the first dude) and I sit around the kitchen table wondering about the cost of college like many of you… oh really. Your oldest son went from high school into the military. Your next oldest is pregnant with plans to be married to some hockey jock at age 17. Seems to me you’ve got lots of time before you have to worry about college tuition especially being college doesn’t seem to be a priority in your family.

You refuse to give live interviews and then whine when your taped interviews get edited. Then you have a chance to be live in front of the nation during a debate and you respond by not answering the questions (proudly not answering the questions I might add) but rather by reading the cue cards given to you by a group of white old men who sold their souls to the political system when you were in…. I don’t know - 2nd grade maybe. Your insulting to a United States Senator who is so respected that his home state has elected him to office 6 times. And while I am on the subject of the debate - shame on Gwen Ifell for not making her answer the questions. Damn I miss Tim Russert.

Sarah Palin is an ignorant, ranting, whining *****. There I said it. But lots more are thinking it.

OK, but don't let it happen again.

I'm not afraid to say "hello", but what winds up happening is I'll say "HI" at the top of my lungs.

I like compliments but not vulgarity.

She's so deluded and arrogant, she thinks she's qualified to re-define the constitution. Just because she's a hockey mom and knows Joe Six Pack down the street.

I found her "folksiness" extremely annoying, along with the fact that she kept trying to make herself out as the average American, just like youse and me. I don't want the AVERAGE American as VP. I'd prefer someone a bit smarter.

She's a nightmare as far as Roe v. Wade is concerned.

And I really would like to ask her how that "abstinence only" policy is working out!

My Grandma used to make that and it was delicious! Do you use poppyseed filling?

Pizza.

I think the last one is the best.

Nice.

I once was almost an hour late because I got lost, and the person had waited for me (he didn't have a cell phone). On the other hand, I once waited at a restaurant in the lobby for 20 minutes thinking the person hadn't shown up. I was ready to leave but then decided I'd eat there by myself. Turns out, he had been seated.

Don't you have a cell phone you can use to communicate with the person? Is it the same person who keeps standing you up? If it is, time to ditch that loser.

I guess I'd say half an hour. If they don't call or show by then, bye-bye!

Hanging out by the pool with a cutie and beers.

That I actually met the guy. He would not shut up. I sat there for an hour and a half listening to his version of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Or wait, maybe it was the guy who wanted me to meet him AND his buddies at some club. When I told him "no, thank you" (I'll pass on the gang rape for this evening), he pretty much indicated that was the end of the deal.

How can I forget about the ones whose phone conversational skills are about as exciting as dry toast?

All in all, it's been fun.

I wonder where his hands were.
