i love politics and other horrible blasphemy

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 at 11:12am.


ugh. so i've decided the debates are totally tolerable if you play buzz word bingo. that was an excellant idea. check it out at http://www.bullshitbingo.net/cards/presidential_debate/
before the next one on october 15th.

also, did anyone else think it was way funny (and showed his age) when mccain pointed to obama and called him "this one" ?? we were going to play a drinking game where everytime obama said "fundamental" or mccain said "friend" we'd take a shot, but we didn't want to die.

also (pt deux) as much as i'm sick of talking politics, i do have to say that i am loving this whole fighting for no real reason with people you barely know phenomenon. seriously. what better way is there of bonding than by saying ridiculously biased factoids to people you know will disagree with them? i got into a screaming match with my favorite lesbian bartender when she tried to convince me that obama was a terrorist. i'm like, "mccain won't let your kind marry!! are you crazy?" seriously, what happened to all the liberal hippy gays. i'd like to know. and, just in time for election season, my mom has posted some abortion footage. check it out if you're still deciding what one issue you'd like to vote for. i tried to find some footage of marines getting blown up in the middle of a desert but there was none, or there was too much, i can't decide.

if you're curious what your Palin name is check out

mine is:
grace, if you were born to Sarah Palin, your name would be:
Snowshoe Man Palin

interesting...

so, my little sister is going to Willows now. apparently her religion teacher told her that voting democrat is a mortal sin, worthy of hell. in other news, the planet is only 4000 years old and i am the handmaid of the lord.



COMMENTS: (actually my favorite part of this note)

Peggysue: Dear Snowshoe Man, I love you. And if you want to stay sober during a presidential debate drinking game, take a shot every time someone says anything that makes sense. -Mounty Bat

Sheila: WMD Cessna Palin. I always wanted intials for a name. What deep mystery they hold. What could that stand for? I don't know. My mother hasn't told me. I was told I couldn't yell at the T.V. during the debate because children were doing their homework. To which I screamed, "Haven't you heard of freedom of speech?!". I hate when the apathetic interrupt my train of thought. I was choking at one point. More than the advair I take too frequently. What has happened to mother earth's atmosphere? It's filled with a lack of character and that "can do" attitude.
The willows.... weeping.... yeah.

Grace: dear mounty bat, you're crazy. that is one of the reasons i am crazy. for loving you.
dear WMD, if your mother won't tell you, i fear i must... i think you should know that you were concieved during a liason with saddam. i fear you now that ...i know your true name is Weapons of Mass Destruction. goodbye.
PS: that was the most hilarious response to a note i've ever gotten. so journalistic! such style! i think people think i'm smarter for knowing you...

Mom:  Why do you need someone else to name you? Be native american and name yourself. If we're going with a frozen north theme I'd choose: "Sits on an Ice Floe" for myself (layers of meaning). I did not post abortion footage, I posted Ji...ll Stanek talking about how Obama personally blocked passage of the Born Alive Act in Illinois which would require aborted babies born alive be given palliative care instead of chucked into the closet. (Jill knows because she is the nurse who sat holding them as they died.) On that note, I think Obama has the edge but I just can't in good conscience trust a guy with my country I think is immoral. Beyond pro-choice I think he is pro-abortion. He will not restrict abortion in any way, shape or form. I do not think he is pro-woman because the women I know who aborted were very emotionally injured even tho they thought it was right when they were in the moment. You can't be immoral about only one thing. Your integrity and character are part of everything you do. Therefore it is only"one issue voting" to people who are pro-choice.I respect your sister's teacher very much. She didn't single out a party, she singled out a candidate (whose initials are B.O.) because anyone who is pro-life is appalled by his stance. Hell exists. 4000 years? Don't you know it's the Jewish year 5769?
Would that you were a handmaid of the Lord. . . (sigh)

Sheila: Hell exists. Forgiveness exists. God's Grace is always present. Here's hoping that it is with all of us as we vote and as we give thanksgiving.

Grace: ahem ladies. the title of the note dictates that it contain only horrible blasphemies. keep your prayers in your palms. also (jan) your reaction to a note should not be longer than the note itself. you could learn a thing or two from sheila. emily was totally right, we need to switch moms...
