The McCain-Palin Mob

Pathetic Palin

The more Sarah Palin speaks the more frightened I become for our country. A candidate who would suggest that the Vice President should be granted more power (Dick Cheney anyone??) has no business holding the office. The Vice President presides over the Senate and supports the President....period. Our government is set up the way it is for a reason. It's to prevent individuals from holding too much power. Just thinking about Palin's suggestion makes me furious. Not only does she approve of more power to the VP, but she freely expressed her support during her debate against Joe Biden. I know. She's crazy.

Also, if I hear the term "maverick" come from her mouth again I will reach through the television screen and rip out her hockey mom hair. Please stop with the bullshit, and stop pretending like you know what's it like for a single parent struggling to pay for their child's college education. Maybe she could have a chat with my mom sometime.

If the Republicans want to win this election they better have more than Sarah Palin in their arsenal. Other than being somewhat entertaining to watch, and being an initial momentum starter for McCain, Sarah Palin has proven to be a pretty pathetic Vice Presidential choice. When running for President one should choose a running mate with Presidential quality. Sarah Palin is not fit for the Presidential role, nor is she fit for the Vice Presidential role.

Things are finally looking up for the Democrats. It's about time.

A Plan That You and I Should Read

Wanting Change is Patriotic.

Signs of Hope & Change.

I just watched the most horrible movie EVER created in the history of film making. The basic story wasn't bad, but the acting and script were both terrible. The film is called Juncture and "stars" Kristine Blackport, who I've never heard of, and was directed by James Seale. The general storyline is about this woman (Anna Carter) who goes around the country bringing to justice all the criminals who get away with horrible offenses.....of course there's more to the story, but that's it in a nut shell. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of putting murderers and rapists to justice, but I just couldn't get over how bad the acting was. I seriously felt like I was watching an SNL skit, and Tina Fey was gonna walk into the scene at any moment. Yes, it was that bad. I almost started laughing during a couple of the very serious/dramatic scenes.

So, if you want to waste and hour and a half of your life I would definitely recommend this movie. Otherwise, steer clear.

I guess one good thing about the experience is that I prevented myself from eating the entire box of Milk Duds that I purchased at Hastings....instead I only ate half the box. Progress. It's encouraging to see "35% Less Fat Than the Average of the Leading Chocolate Candy Bars" on the side of the box. Don't worry, I'm not going to start using that as an excuse to start eating Milk Duds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner....................however, that sounds lovely.

Yes, Milk Duds at every meal is a nice concept. However, I would most definitely look like a hippo.....and that is not a concept I want to experience.

Until next time, Elena.

Hurricane Ike

I think the magnitude of what Hurricane Ike is capable of has finally sunk in. I found out today my mom decided to stay at our home and ride out the storm despite pleas from relatives who live in higher areas of Houston to stay with them. Family friends were supposed to come by today and help her board up the windows along the front of our house. They never showed up. Our home was built in the 50s so it's not necessarily the greatest structure for hurricane force winds and all the debris that comes with it. Houston has been very lucky in the last couple years, and has been spared the devastating effects of some powerful storms (Katrina, Rita, Gustav). I'd say a bit over do. So, I guess this is nature's way of evening out the playing field.....putting everything back into balance. Maybe. I really don't know. The fact that I have no control whatsoever is the hardest part. My house could be gone tomorrow, or it might be fine.....there's no way to tell until the storm passes. I would love to say that "I leave it in God's hands", but to be honest I don't. Instead I become frustrated and angry that I have no control.

I'm tired and not wanting to think about this anymore. Tomorrow will tell me what I need to know. Till then, sleep well.

Elena.

I need encouragement!

Evening, kiddies.

It's Friday.  Finally.  The week has been a long one.......I am in much need of a relaxing weekend.  My hands and wrists are sore from printmaking and ceramics; they just might fall off.  It could happen.  I apologize, I'm being a bit negative.....it must be in the air somewhere, I know it's not just me.

I hope everyone remembered that today was National Encouragement Day........barf.

It's been discussed....Janelle would look hot with green hair.  I told her that we could make it happen.  She hasn't replied.  I'll keep you updated on the situation of her hair color.

Ok, my stomach hurts....damn seafood.

Peace.
