I'm not afraid of you, Sarah.

But I hate you. I hate what you represent, what you are and that you think you are more qualified to be President than Barack Obama,. So here is a list of the things I despise about you.

I hate that you have the intellectual curiosity of a boiled egg. You couldn't give a straight answer to Katie Couric when she asked you what newspapers you read. 

I despise you for being the cheerleader of ignorance and incompetence.  You are a cheerleader for the Joe Sixpack crowd, but you don't give a damn about them, you only want them to buy your books, vote for your daughter on Dancing With The Stars.  I cannot vote for a person who quit being governor to chase the money people were throwing at you.   I can respect wanting to strike while the iron was hot, but not at the expense of the people you claim to represent. 

I hate the way you play victim. I hate that you think you have cornered the market on common sense, and call everyone who doesn't think like you a socialist, unamerican, a communist.

I hate your platitudes, for trying to wrap up your bullshit into pretty litlle packages like Godiva chocolate.  "Don't retreat, reload."  "Death panels"  "Weeweed up."

I HATE what you did to the caribou.    I get the point of hunting to put food on the table, but you seem to enjoy the bloodshed too much.

I don't get how you think your journalism degree is a more valuable credential for the Oval Office than a law degree. I can't even wrap my brain arond it.  I hate that your fanclub pays for pictures with you.
I hate your excessive religiosity.  I don't believe that fundamentalism is a healthy religious choice for the vast majority of Americans. I am not claiming wisdom here, because i know how much i don't know.  But I believe that religion is a force advocating ignorance, misogyny and an anti-intellectual attitude.   You haven't the spine to go on ABC or MSNBC and you don't give a fuck that this is wrong.

I am not religious.  I have not set foot in a church for anything more than a wedding, for more than 10 years.   I am a writer, a blogger and a scholar.  I am a woman who has never had a child, who considers it immoral to have a baby without the means to care for it, mentally, physically, and finacially.    Women need all the information availaible on birth control, and their options. Condoms are not a vector for the spread of disease. It is the right of a woman to have or end a pregnancy as she and HER DOCTOR see fit, and not the decison of any random man, or legislator.   A man should not make this choice for a woman. If you are not prepared to make a baby, then you need to be careful. No glove, no love. It's not rocket science.   Abstinence is great, but it doesn't WORK for most people.

So much for bipartianship.

Seriously, I am so fucking over hearing shit from the GOP on bipartisanship and I am even more sick of watching the farce of the Democratic pary trying to negotiate with insane, selfsh and heartless people.

It blows my mind how i have to listten to crap from Republicans about how it's soooo important to balance the budget but heaven forfend that richer people pay their share.   It is true that while i am unemployed - i do not pay income tax but I pay sales tax. If i was rich I would be ashamed not paying my fair share.
I'm tired of both parties.  I could vote for third parties but i do want my side to win almost as much as i want a system where  third parties have a fighting chance to win heats and pass laws.   Fuck if I can have any respect for a party that won't spend a few billion dollars or extended unemployment compensation when they are quite happy to spend trillions of dollars for tax breaks for rich people who should be able to afford it.   I would be ashamed to be a millionare and not want to pay my share, or to put it on the back of someone making  $35,000 per year. 

A trillion is $1,000,000,000,000.   A trillion is a thousand billion dollars.A billion is a thousand millions. This isn't chicken feed nor chump change. Can't keep maxing out the bankcard and not expect a reckoning, we must pay our way and bring the deficit DOWN. We need  to reduce defence and stop being the world's police  because we cannot afford it.  This is too riduculous.

Keith versus Bristol: a few more words

I am sure that it must be hard to have had a child either during high school or immediately after,  however I am taking Keith Olbermann's side on this one. 

I am sure that Bristol is a good mom..... but this is bigger than any family and must be addressed.

That commercial was lame.  Although it was slghtly amusing I felt it failed to provide a useful messgae. 

Abstinence is bloody difficult for humans.   It is ridiculous to set yourself up as a spokeswoman for abstinence when you have a child. It is still more ridiculous that the abstinence-only crew relies on ignorance and misinformation to scare people into not having sex.    It is shameful that these people refuse to use the brains and intellect that would have been a gift from their God.   It is disgusting, what i hear about condoms, from the Vatican and Benedict.    All rational people should reject such crap.   It is ok to use condoms. It is not a sin to take care of your health and well-being. 
It is appalling that there are children in a wealthy nation like this,  with scientific research discovering new knowledge and creating new ideas,  who do not know how their bodies work and that fluids and blood from intravenous drips are somehow "eaten." 

Marriage is not a magical process that makes a person instantly responsible, nice. thrifty, and hard working form the minute that they say "I do. "  Marriage is also not a remedy for ignorance, mental illness nor douchebaggery.  

I can say right now that it's been more than a year since i have been with a man.  I miss him like crazy.  I am hoping to see him when I go to Florida in January.   But it is much more important to me that i not hurt him and not be disloyal.    I don't want to hurt a good man and friend. It's been almost three years that he's been in my life and i am glad he's there.
