Palin by comparison
Sarah Palin is adorable, I grant you, but she makes me nervous. The hotsy-totsy Pentecostals always do. As for her daughter's pregnancy, if Sarah's happy, then I'm happy for her. It's been many years since I've gotten any joy out of demonizing pregnant teenagers. What I'm not entirely psyched about is what Sarah has in mind for my daughters. As much as I love her beehive--and I really do; I totally want to try it out, though the thought of it makes me feel like one of those women who ran out to get Dorothy Hamill's wedge or Princess Di's cut or "the Rachel"--I really really don't want to live in Sarah Palin's America. I tried a buffalo burger once and I didn't like it at all. Something tells me eating moose would be a similar experience.
Is there any chance we could get Michael Palin instead? Because he's great. I really like him. If anybody could get me interested in Beltway politics, it'd be Michael Palin.

(Yeah, I went there!)
It's not a "beehive", it's a "bun". A beehive goes straight up.
Thoreau wrote that moose tastes "like tender beef, with perhaps more flavour; sometimes like veal". Maybe you should try it.
Nope, Michael Palin isn't qualified to be vice-president. And I don't mean "unqualified" in the usual sense, as in the common expression "Only having one term as governor makes you unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency, although having one term as senator makes you qualified to be no heartbeats away from the presidency." Michael Palin is legally unqualified to be vice-president -- the vice-president has to be born a citizen of the US, which the Yorkshireman Micahel is not.
Plus, he's about one tenth as funny as John Cleese.
I also don't know about Sarah Palin being adorable. She frightens me -- too much about her is fraudulent, too much is media-hype. I don't see any concrete potential there. So she's a woman, and McCain wants to win over the "Wal-Mart moms," to quote a phrase I've been finding everywhere. That in itself hardly means she'll be a good leader. I don't care that she believes in creationism, but I care that she is interested in banning books that counter her viewpoint. I also don't care that she is pro-life, but I do care that McCain voted against the idea of exempting rape victims from paying for a post-rape medical exam.
Well -- there's no end to this debate. Not much point getting into it, I suppose. Look at me, pontificating. All I wanted to say was I'd support Michael Palin anyday, lol.
