Who's Smarter Than a 3rd Grader????
NOT SARAH PALIN!!! (Not a shocker)
When asked, "What does the Vice President do?", she replied:
-"The VP has a really great job!" (Cool Sarah, like scooping ice cream at the mall)
-"They are like teammates to that president ."(OMG, like Pierce and Garnett type of teammates??? Cool Dude!!!)
-"They are in charge of the United States Senate."
Hmmm....wait a minute...wrong answer....The VP is not in charge of the senate!!!! Let's get it together Palin. If someone asks me what does a HR Recruitment Coordinator do in an urban school district I feel like I would be able to answer that without sounding like a complete idiot. YOU KNOW WHY...BECAUSE THAT'S MY JOB AND IT'S GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR JOB SO YOU DON'T F**K IT UP!!!! I even knew enough 4 years ago to at least Google some information about the job and read the job description before I went to the interview...OH WAIT...THAT'S WHY I ACTUALLY GOT THE JOB...and since she can't even bother to research what she would be doing as VP this is yet another reason why SHE WILL NOT GET THE JOB!!!!That's what happens when you ridicule intellectualism...people that ridicule intellectuals are guess what...THE UNINTELLECTUAL ONES!!! Go read a book Palin!

Jim Crow is Back
Yes that is a Food Stamp With Barack Obama, watermelon, chicken, kool-aid and some ribs!
I need Jesus to take the wheel, because this is pure unadulterated foolishness!
"I didn't see it the way that it's being taken. I never connected," she said. "It was just food to me. It didn't mean anything else."
She said she also wasn't trying to make a statement linking Obama and food stamps, although her introductory text to the illustration connects the two: "Obama talks about all those presidents that got their names on bills. If elected, what bill would he be on????? Food Stamps, what else!"

Cause Jay-Z Said So
I love how Barack is receiving all this love from the entertainment industry. Back in 2004 they were telling you to vote and a lot of young adults did, but now there telling you who they think should receive your vote. I love it!
Don't just vote, vote for change!
Hate and Fear
This is America and you can say whatever is on your mind, but some people should really think about what they say, because they look and sound extremely ignorant.
What A Woman!
She’s been called everything from Barack’s better half to his bitter half. Critics tsk-tsk her for being too blunt and, more recently, for seeming too soft. Feminists say she shouldn’t sideline her career to focus on her husband’s job, while fans call her the strength behind the historic presidential candidate. So how does Michelle Obama cope? With a little help from Beyoncé, natch....
Marie Claire: You’ve said that if Barack is elected, you’ll become “mom-in-chief” in the White House. What does that mean, exactly?
Michelle Obama: What I meant is that my first priority would be my two girls — making sure they’re happy and comfortable during what would be a major transition for them. Throughout this campaign, I’ve built my schedule around the girls and their activities, so I’m there when they wake up in the morning and home in time to have dinner and tuck them into bed at night.
MC: How have your girls been affected already by life in the public eye?
MO: Well, there’s all the consideration that their search for the perfect dog has gotten from the public. We’re getting lots of mail with suggestions! The girls think this is just great — they’re excited that so many people want them to get the best dog ever. Also, one thing that has helped keep their lives normal is that we’ve kept the same friends since the girls were born. And today the girls attend the same school and play on the same teams as they did 19 months ago. Their teachers and coaches know that this is a huge change for our family, and they know the girls well enough to treat them the same today as when this all started.
MC: Barack said that you and he regretted going on Access Hollywood with your daughters. Why did you do it?
MO: You know, it was a onetime thing; it was Malia’s birthday, and we were out on the road having a fun weekend together as a family. We don’t foresee it happening again in the near future ... I think we’re all figuring this out. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to talk to people who’ve done this before. I’ve had great conversations with Hillary Clinton, Tipper Gore, and Caroline Kennedy, and they’ve all given me advice on how to make sure your kids are whole and grounded. I think a part of that is keeping them, keeping their worlds, very much their own.
MC: How do you handle massive stress? Do you ever have meltdowns?
MO: Exercise is really important to me — it’s therapeutic. So if I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
MC: So, what’s on your iPod?
MO: I have a pretty eclectic mix of everything, from Beyoncé to Stevie Wonder. He’s my favorite artist of all time, so I probably have every song he’s ever recorded. But if I hear something I like somewhere, I’ll add it. I just heard this CD by Anthony David, who’s an R&B guy — I put him on there. That’s brand new, so I’m kind of enjoying that a lot now. I also have some old Mariah Carey; the girls have reintroduced me to some of her older stuff. So I have a good mix: some pop, some R&B, some jazz.
MC: How do you deal with all the women swooning over your husband? Obama Girl, Scarlett Johansson — even New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd compares him to Jane Austen’s hero Mr. Darcy.
MO: I can’t blame them — he’s cute!
MC: Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen has advised Barack to head to Wal-Mart to connect with the “Wal-Mart women” who supported Hillary. What do you say to people who think your husband is too slick or elite for working-class voters?
MO: I find it funny that people have tried to label Barack as an elitist. This is the man who grew up not knowing his father, with a young, single mother who he watched struggle to make ends meet — even going on food stamps at one point. And despite the economic struggles that his family went through, Barack turned down lucrative careers on Wall Street and went to work in communities to help folks in need on the South Side of Chicago, helping families who’d been devastated when the local steel plants shut down.
MC: Do you shop at Wal-Mart?
MO: I’m more of a Target shopper.
MC: How does it feel to be a media target? Do you feel picked on?
MO: One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.
MC: What do you think of John McCain’s claim that Barack is a celebrity like Britney and Paris?MO: You know, I haven’t seen the ad, but I think the comparison is pretty silly!
MC: You’ve complained about the cost of summer camp, when your household income was $4.2 million last year. Do you think you can relate to moms who can’t pay their mortgage?
MO: Barack and I were paying off our student loans until a very short time ago. We’re lucky that he’s had a couple of best-selling books ... but we didn’t come from privileged backgrounds. We both know what it’s like to struggle and work hard, and we’re not very far removed from families who are doing everything they can to keep up with rising costs.
MC: What do you think of Sarah Palin?
MO: I think Governor Palin has a compelling life story, and she’s certainly accomplished a great deal while also balancing raising a family. She’s a working mom, so we have that in common. The benefit of being your party’s nominee for president is that you — and you alone — get to select a running mate who shares your vision for the country and is the strongest partner for you.
MC: You’ve said your best accessory is Barack on your arm. What’s second best?
MO: If I have Barack on one arm and the girls on the other, then I’m all set!
MC: Are you much of a heels gal?
MO: I’m 5'11", so typically, I’m in flats. They’re much better for keeping up with the girls and the pace of the campaign trail.
MC: Has your style had to change as you’ve taken on the role of candidate’s wife? More pearls and Jackie O. dresses?
MO: You know, Barack has been in politics for a long time, and my style really hasn’t changed since he started running for president. I don’t have a stylist, but for special events, I work with designer Maria Pinto here in Chicago, who’s not only a great designer but also a good friend.
MC: What’s your guilty pleasure?
MO: French fries and barbecue!
MC: Tell me about your roundtables with wives of soldiers overseas.
MO: I’ll never forget a moment when a young mother started pouring out how overwhelmed she felt. And when she finished, another woman stood up and said, “I don’t know you, but when you leave here, you will have my phone number. And you will be able to call me anytime. You’ve got the support of this friend right here.” Another story that touched me was when one woman said that every day, she gets up, puts on her pretty face, puts on nice clothes, holds her head high, and keeps her spirits up. But then she goes home every night, climbs into bed by herself, and cries. The thing about these women is that they are doing everything that’s asked of them and more. And really, the only thing they’re asking for in return is compassion and
understanding from their country.
MC: What sparked your interest in wives of soldiers?
MO: The issues facing working women and their families are closest to my heart. I decided to focus intently on the challenges military wives face because they juggle the same pressures as their nonmilitary peers, all while coping as single parents while their loved ones are overseas. I wanted to help make their voices heard.
MC: Your mom has said you’ve never phoned her in tears. What does make you cry?
MO: My girls. Thinking about them, how much I love them, wondering what they’re doing, how they’re feeling ... it moves me.
MC: Anything in particular they’ve said or done recently that really got to you?
MO: After my speech at the Democratic convention, we surprised the girls with an appearance by Barack, via satellite, on a huge screen. Well, when he came up on the big screen, Malia instinctively walked up to it — and then stopped. She knew that he wasn’t actually there with us; she just wanted to be closer to her father. And when we got backstage, she cried, because she really misses him and worries about him when he’s away from home for such long periods of time. Moments like that one are the most difficult for me when it comes to the girls.
MC: What have you learned from other moms in the White House?
MO: Hillary Clinton has been a great source of inspiration ... she and President Clinton did an incredible job raising their daughter, Chelsea, who has grown up to be a beautiful, intelligent, caring, successful woman. Laura Bush has also handled herself and her girls so elegantly during their years in the White House.
MC: You grew up in a humble family in Chicago and later wrote a college thesis about black women at Princeton. How do you raise your daughters to prepare them for innate racial or gender prejudices?
MO: Growing up, my parents worked to instill a sense of pride and self-confidence in me and my brother. They taught us to work hard, pursue our dreams, and not worry about things that are beyond our control. Barack and I pass those same lessons along to our daughters. And I think this campaign has illustrated how far we’ve come as a country to overcome prejudices. It was empowering and remarkable to see Barack and Hillary Clinton — an African-American and a woman — achieve as much as they have.
MC: You’re used to speaking your mind. Do you have to self-censor now so it doesn’t look like you’re telling your husband what to do?
MO: It would be hard for me to edit myself and still be me. And I think that in the end, that’s what the voters deserve and it’s what they want: They want to know who I am, and it’s my responsibility to make sure they know who I am and who Barack is; then they can make a clear, informed decision based on authenticity.
MC: Workplace romance is fraught with peril, but you and Barack met on the job at a law firm. How’d you make that work?
MO: Well, I initially resisted Barack because I was his summer adviser and he was a first-year summer associate, and I thought it would be tacky for us to go out. But then I got to know him and learn about his family, his strong values — and he was persistent and cute — so here we are!
MC: If you become first lady, are you going to go clubbing with France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy?
MO: Malia and Sasha will be the first to tell you that I go to bed much too early to go clubbing!

Joe The Plumber
This video shows the brief exchange between the man the media has dubbed “Joe The Plumber” and Sen. Barack Obama. Their paths crossed while the senator campaigned door to door in Ohio this past Sunday.
The plumber’s real name is Joe Wurzelbacher, and he’s one of the 5% of upper middle class Americans earning over $250,000 per year who worry that Obama — if elected president — will raise their taxes to “spread the wealth around” to the poor and disenfranchised.
Joe Plumber: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more. Isn’t it?”
Obama: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
Maybe its just me but if your making over 250,000 a year you are not hurting in any way shape or form. A question like "I make 7.55 an hour and I was wondering if I can get some kind of tax exemptions, you know considering I don't make enough to support myself?" would have been worth answering. Yes your taxes will go up he's been saying that forever, maybe because I'm not in that tax bracket I can't feel Joe's pain but I am almost positive that Joe's been eating well.
You don't believe met look at him!

VP Debate Recap
Local Yokel Sarah Palin had this to say:
“Enough is enough with looking backward and playing the blame game,” Palin said in response to a question about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. “There’s a time, too, when Americans are gonna say, ‘Enough is enough,’ with your ticket constantly looking backwards and pointing fingers and doing the blame game. There have been huge blunders in the war, there have been huge blunders throughout this administration, as there are with any administration, but for a ticket that wants to talk about change and looking into the future, there’s just too much finger-pointing backwards to ever make us believe that that’s where you’re going.”
Joe Biden Slapped her with a hoe sit down and said:
"It was two Mondays ago John McCain said at 9 o’clock in the morning that the fundamentals of the economy were strong,” Biden said. “Two weeks before that, he said George - we’ve made great economic progress under George Bush’s policies. Nine o’clock, the economy was strong. Eleven o’clock that same day, two Mondays ago, John McCain said that we have an economic crisis. That doesn’t make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he’s out of touch.”
Finally Joe Sealed his win with this:
“John McCain was saying the Sunnis and Shias got along with each other without reading the history of the last 700 years. John McCain said there would be enough oil to pay for this. John McCain has been dead wrong. I love him. As my mother would say, ‘God love him,’ but he’s been dead wrong on the fundamental issues relating to the conduct of the war. Barack Obama has been right. There are the facts.”

Are You Ready
I Sure Am
The Vice Presidential Debates are coming on tonight and I'm hoping Joe rip's her apart!
My Mentor!
TINA ON BEYONCE: “People said, ‘You looked better than Beyoncé.’ Well, that’s not possible. It’s nice that young people hold me up as a model. Beyoncé is elegant and is handling her career well. A lot of new stars go overboard on sex. They’re half-naked up there. My dresses were a bit short, but I stayed respectable.”TINA ON ARETHA: “Aretha has always been like that. We’ve always accepted that from her. She’s the queen of soul, and I’m the queen of rock ‘n’ roll. *snaps finger* There were so many kings and queens there that night. Her ego must be so big to think she was the only one. That’s how queens are!”
TINA ON IKE’S DEATH: “It meant nothing to me. He had been dead to me for 20 years. When I left, I really left. It was a bad dream, and when you spend 16 years in a certain lifestyle, you never want to think about it again. My life then was much worse. It couldn't have gotten lower. And since then, every part of my life has been a high point.”
TINA ON HER YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE AND ENERGY: “I look better than I did at times in the past.. Part of it may be luck of the draw. It could be good genes, but then again, as I look at my family, I have to say I’m the only one that got them.”
I love everything About Tina Turner she had me Rolling down the River when I was 4 Years old, so I just thought I should Share! lmao
Enjoy!
Thank God For Growth

I Feel The Vibe!
VIBE magazine announces its November 2008 cover today with Barack Obama, marking the first time in history that the leading lifestyle publication has ever formally endorsed a Presidential nominee. In the issue, Editor-in-Chief Danyel Smith writes, “…I am clear about what must be done. The staff is behind me. This is a formal endorsement, by VIBE magazine, of Senator Barack Obama…We built hip hop from nothing to something. We can do anything.”
This historic collector’s edition also marks the second time that VIBE has placed the Senator of Illinois on its cover after being the first music magazine to do so in September 2007. In an unprecedented one-page letter exclusive to VIBE readers, Obama also calls out today’s youth, urging them to take a stand and vote for change. He writes, “Dear VIBE Readers…I am running for President to take this country in a new direction. But I can’t do it alone. I need you. Whether it’s the first time, or the first time in a long time, I need you to register and vote on November 4th.”

A Work of Art or Racism
Mickie O has been given a dramatic makeover by a US sculptor. Artist Daniel Edwards created a bare-shouldered bust of the 44-year-old lawyer which prominently displays her breasts, on top of which rests a tattoo of the American flag. An ‘Afro-pick’ hair clip fashioned in the style of an eagle sticks out of her head. The clay work, titled “Michelle Obama’s Makeover for America”, will go on display at New York’s Leo Kesting Gallery at the start of October 2008.
What do you think?

Fashion Focus
Since this is a fashion, culture and political blog (and some of you don't get that but whateve's read what you like and move on) I wanted to share with you an article that incorporated all elements of this fine blog.
"I believe the fashion industry has taken note on this serious issue. The greater number of ethnic models seen on the runway is apparent," he said.
Others said discussions of the issue and media attention had stirred the industry's consciousness.
"There has been a definite surge, to use the military term, of much diversity, particularly more black girls," said Andre Leon Talley, editor-at-large at Vogue. "There's been a series of conversations. It's a fresh moment."
A spotlight on race due to Barack Obama's presidential nomination could spill into fashion, commentators said.
"It is my hope because of Michelle Obama that fashion will grasp it and redefine beauty," said fashion author Kathryn Finney, referring to the Democratic candidate's wife.
Gunn added that not just the runways need to change.
"I would like to see more diversity among fashion designers," he said. "With more support for designers of color, that can help this issue as well."

I hope there is a change and very soon because our Black Supermodels are getting older and in both cases (Naomi & Tyra) crazier!
Meet Mickie O Part Duex
When people ask Michelle Obama to describe herself, she doesn't hesitate. First and foremost, she is Malia and Sasha's mom.
But before she was a mother - or a wife, lawyer, or public servant - she was Fraser and Marian Robinson's daughter.
The Robinsons lived on the South Side of Chicago, on the top floor of a brick bungalow. Fraser was a pump operator for the Chicago water department. He was a hero to Michelle and her older brother Craig: even though he had multiple sclerosis, he hardly ever missed a day of work. Marian stayed home to raise Michelle and Craig, skillfully managing a busy household filled with love, laughter, and important life lessons. Fraser and Marian valued hard work, independence, and honesty. Today, their children point to their parents as their greatest teachers.
Michelle attended Chicago public schools, then Princeton. She studied sociology and African American studies, graduated in the class of 1985, and earned admission to Harvard Law School. When she returned to Chicago in 1988, she joined the law firm Sidley & Austin.
After a few years, Michelle realized that corporate law was not her calling. So she left to give back to the city she loves and to help others serve their communities. She worked for City Hall, becoming the assistant commissioner of planning and development. Then she became the founding executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies, an AmeriCorps program that prepares young people for public service. Today, more than 350 young leaders have graduated from Public Allies Chicago.
Michelle got one great thing out of working for a corporate law firm-that's where she met her husband, Barack. They were married in 1992. Today, they have two girls-Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. Like their mom, both girls were born on the South Side of Chicago.
Since 1996, Michelle has worked for the University of Chicago. As associate dean of student services, she developed the university's first community service program. Later, she became the vice president of community and external affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center. Under Michelle's leadership, volunteering skyrocketed, both in the hospital and the community. Hospital employees serving in the community increased nearly fivefold, while community members volunteering in the hospital nearly quadrupled.
Since Barack began his campaign in early 2007, Michelle has met thousands of Americans, hearing their concerns and hopes for the future. As someone who knows the challenge of balancing work and family, Michelle has held roundtables with working women to hear about their struggle to do it all, particularly in a failing economy. In these discussions, Michelle heard the unique stories of military spouses, who work hard to keep their families together while their loved ones are away.
"We held a roundtable for military spouses at Fort Bragg," Michelle says. "It felt like the first time that many of these women had even been asked how they were doing. The tears and the stories went on and on. So we had another roundtable, and then another one."
If Barack is honored with the privilege of serving the United States as president, Michelle looks forward to continuing her work on the issues close to her heart-supporting military families, helping working women balance work and family, and encouraging national service.
"My first priority will always be to make sure that our girls are healthy and grounded," she says. "Then I want to help other families get the support they need, not just to survive, but to thrive.
"Policies that support families aren't political issues. They're personal. They're the causes I carry with me every single day."

The 9 Million $ Man
Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party.Obama spent more than an hour before dinner getting his picture taken with guests. He said later that people had encouraged him to be tougher and had questioned why he was so calm in a close race against Republican John McCain.
“I’m skinny but I’m tough,” he said. “I’m from Chicago and we don’t play. Just keep steady. If we can cut through the nonsense and the lipstick and the pigs and the silliness, then I’m absolutely convinced that we are going to win,” Obama said, referring to some of the offbeat charges raised against him. “The reason I’m calm … is I’ve got confidence in the American people,” he said. “I really think they want to see us do better.” Standing in the courtyard of the palatial estate, he said his campaign was dedicated to people who need jobs and health care and worry about their pensions and sending children to college. “It’s about those who will never see the inside of a building like this,” Obama said. He said the economic turmoil in recent days had been sobering for America. “It’s reminded people that this is not a game. This is not a reality show, no offense to any of you,” Obama said to laughter. “This is not a sitcom.”

This is Your Nation on White Privilege
By Tim Wise9/13/08
For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.
White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because “every family has challenges,” even as black and Latino families with similar “challenges” are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.
White privilege is when you can call yourself a “fuckin’ redneck,” like Bristol Palin’s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll “kick their fuckin' ass,” and talk about how you like to “shoot shit” for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.
White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.
White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don’t all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you’re “untested.”
White privilege is being able to say that you support the words “under God” in the pledge of allegiance because “if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it’s good enough for me,” and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the “under God” part wasn’t added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.
White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make people immediately scared of you.
White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants your state to secede from the Union, and whose motto was “Alaska first,” and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people immediately think she’s being disrespectful.
White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do--like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor--and people think you’re being pithy and tough, but if you merely question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college--you’re somehow being mean, or even sexist.
White privilege is being able to convince white women who don’t even agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence in these same white women, and made them give your party a “second look.”
White privilege is being able to fire people who didn’t support your political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means you must be corrupt.
White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God’s punishment on Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you’re just a good church-going Christian, but if you’re black and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on black people, you’re an extremist who probably hates America.
White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you such a “trick question,” while being black and merely refusing to give one-word answers to the queries of Bill O’Reilly means you’re dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it a “light” burden.
And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren’t sure about that whole “change” thing.
Ya know, it’s just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain.White privilege is, in short, the problem.
Do not become a prisoner of your experiences: There is no certainty about an uncertain world.

Yall don't know Cho!
So yet another celebrity has decided to weight in on Sarah Palin and she had this to say:
"At first I thought Sarah Palin was some kind of Republican pandering – a misguided attempt to woo Hillary voters over to the dark side, as if they believed women voters were so stupid that they would vote for anyone in skirt, but now I see that she is much, much worse.
I have nothing against hockey moms – I just don’t want to be one. If Sarah Palin had her way, she would take away that right not to be a mom. She wants to outlaw abortion – so to call her a feminist is as laughable as calling evangelicals ‘Christians.’ They shouldn’t have the right to call themselves Christian, for they have no Christ-like attributes. I am a feminist and a Christian – and when I see Sarah Palin – I see neither. And it is official. She is evil. I saw on Violet Blue’s awesome blog that Sarah Palin forced rape victims to pay for their own forensic exams.
This is serious and bad."

She'll never be a Stupid Girl
In a new interview the Pennsylvania gal said:
"If I were writing a letter to Sarah Palin it would be a lot of whys and hows. Who are you? Do you know? Why do you hate animals? Please point out Iraq on a map …"
"This woman hates women. She is not a feminist. She is not the woman that's going to come behind Hillary Clinton and do anything that Hillary Clinton would've been capable of … I can't imagine overturning Roe vs. Wade. She's not of this time. The woman terrifies me."
Pink have never had a problem speaking her mind and by her sharing how she feels about Palin makes me smile! :-)
Something i never thought i would say!
I agree with Lindsay Lohan

Current mood: shocked
I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin.
I couldn't be more supportive of a woman in office, but let's face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female.
Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?
I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be… Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she's FOR drilling for oil in some of our protected land…. Well hey, if she wants to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country.
Hmmmm-All of this gets me going-Fear, Anxiety, Concern, Disappointment, and Stress come into play…
Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?
I know that the most important thing about this election is that people need to exercise their right to vote, regardless of their choice… I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the "lipstick on a pig" comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president…
Palin's Desire to "save and convert the gays"-really??
According to this Associated Press story, the church of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is hosting a kind of conference devoted to the "conversion of Gays" — no kidding.
Here's the AP text:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed since she was a child.
Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.
http://zennie2005.blogspot.com/2008/09/sarah-palins-church-hosts-anti-gay.html
I feel it's necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.
Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies… And its frightening to see that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that.
Oh, and…Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!
And in the words of Pamela Anderson, "She can suck it"..
Lindsay- "I have faith that this country will be all that it can be with the proper guidance. I really hope that all of you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels right to you in your heart-vote for obama!"
Samantha- "I love this country- however i wasn't born here and don't have the right to vote- so i beg of you all to really do your research and be educated when you cast your vote this coming november…. and if you're in doubt- vote for obama! Mainly because if she gets elected my green card probably won't get renewed!!!"

I got your lip stick on a pig
“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’ it’s still going to stink. After eight years, we’ve had enough of the same old thing. It’s time to bring about real change to Washington and that’s the choice you’ve got in this election.”

Make up your mind
Cynthia Tucker’s crime was pointing out the hypocrisy behind O’Reilly’s biased views on Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol’s pregnancy.
Tucker wrote that Bill O’Reilly had criticized the parents of 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears after she became pregnant. “The blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her,” O’Reilly said.
But as Tucker noted in her column, O’Reilly had a different set of standards when it came to the parents of Bristol Palin.
Here’s how the exchange went down according to Tucker:
O’Reilly guy: “Cynthia, in your column, were you comparing Bristol Palin to Jamie Lynn Spears?”
Cynthia: “In my column, I was criticizing Bill O’Reilly. And I stand by that.”
O’Reilly guy: “Bill pointed out that Jamie Lynn Spears was running around unsupervised. You know that. So you were saying that Bristol Palin was running around unsupervised.”
Cynthia: “If I said that, read that part. You’re holding the column (in your hand). Read where I said Bristol Palin was running around unsupervised.”
O’Reilly guy: “You inferred (sic) it.”
Cynthia: “I inferred O’Reilly is a hypocrite. And I stand by that. Good day, gentlemen. I’m going inside to finish my Saturday chores.”
(They ran behind me, shouting, “Why weren’t you in Minneapolis? You went to the Democratic Convention. Why didn’t you go to the Republican Convention?” I didn’t look back - just got in my car and drove into my driveway.) (Source)
Thanks: Sandra Rose
That's more like it

You Stay Hating!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck (Who's husband can't win a game let alone an election) was talking reckless per her usual. However this time she had the nerve to step to Mickie O, I'm not going to type how I feel about Elisabeth cuz I'm a God fearing women but I'm most definitely thinking it! I feel that everyone in the public eye should be allowed to keep certain aspects of there lives private, so that makes Elisabeth nosey and a hater.
Jesus Give Me Strength
I know this is not the biz (anywhere in this country), and I know if you got all yo junk hanging out like this you have no reason or right to be wearing white!

Lynn Spears and Sarah Palin not only have knocked up teenage daughters in common but they both don't like to use car seats! That's a shocker.
One Friday in June, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the chief of the state prison system on a tour of the Point MacKenzie Correctional Farm, a 90-minute drive north of Anchorage. It was a routine visit but for the presence of the governor's infant son, Trig.
Palin held her baby in her arms as the warden drove a short distance around the facility, said corrections director Joe Schmidt, who sat next to Palin. A few days later, the governor got a warning from her public safety commissioner that someone had complained that she did not strap Trig into a car seat for the ride. Palin dismissed the complaint as petty, and the commissioner, whom she appointed, took no formal action.
