1) They are now PhotoShopping pics of Palin … showing her in bikinis, miniskirts, and probably less. This is stupid. She’s not a bad looking woman, for a politician, but that’s the key phrase: “for a politician.” Compare her to a female celebrity in any other arena — sports, movies, TV, music — and she would be mistaken for the public relations rep.
2) If Obama loses this election, like Michael Moore says in his new book, it will be stunning. I still sometimes wonder if Moore’s movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, did more damage than good in the last election. You know, energizing the enemy. But probably not. The liberals are better, friendlier people than conservatives; therefore, they are more likely to back down from a fight. That’s too bad. Liberals need more streetfighters like Moore and the Clintons.
3) The mainstream media suffers from the same “let’s be nice guys” syndrome. That’s why it gave Bush a pass, and that’s why it’s afraid to label Fox news the right-wing propaganda machine it is.
4) As long as we’re critiquing Palin’s looks … Michelle Obama has the body of a female linebacker, and her teeth look ready to explode out of her mouth. Not exactly a Jackie Kennedy, but then, Jackie Kennedy was always overrated as a so-called “babe.” Again, it’s that old politicans are the ugliest celebrities syndrome.
5) Sara Palin has made “community service” a dirty term. So if I’m a young person and like her, I would disdain “community service” of any kind.
6) There is no professional sports team, now that the Red Sox finally won something, that continually disappoints its fan base more than the Minnesota Vikings.
7) (Here we go with the gay-bashing again) — I read local stories about how community theater needs to attract a wider audience. Here’s a thought: I know that the theater world is gay-dominated, but if you really want to attract a wider audience, perhaps you could produce fewer gaycentric shows?
This country is getting fatter, dumber, and lazier all the time. Thanks, Phil Gramm. As for myself? I am getting fatter and lazier, but not dumber. I wish I was getting dumber, because it’s true, ignorance is bliss.
