Palin Poll:
One of the more disturbing and reactionary aspects of the Obama Pods in 2008 was the ruthless and vicious mockery of Sarah Palin, even though Palin was clearly more qualified than Barack Obama. And, frankly, a much more decent person. Obviously. The joy the cocktail party liberal set took in trashing Palin and her family will forever be a putrid stain on feminism. Only the piggish, sexist behaviour toward Clinton by Keith Olberman, Chris Mathews, and the quintessential alimony feminist, Arianna Huffington, was more disturbing.
As I've said before I probably would not vote for her - and did not in 2008- as her views on certain issues are too far from mine. But her reaction to Obama's offensive crack about the Special Olympics reminds me why I liked her personally so much last fall. As one of the rare women who have risen to a state governorship in the U.S. I also admire her. I am curious about your take:
Request:
In my writing group at church I've heard some recounting of recent economic distress. I'd like to hear from people about the new Depression...(or as I stole from Kunstler because I think it is more fitting: The Long Emergency.)
500-800 words. Personal accounts of friends, family or yourself. Though, I get silly, glib and loud with my stuff - I treat all submissions with respect. I really do want to know how people are faring. John@liberalrapture.com
New Words and phrases:
Alimony Feminist: An opinionated divorcee who came into wealth via the dissolution of a marriage. The divorced alimony feminist convinces herself that her money confers respect and/or wisdom and the right to be heard in any number of forums previously restricted to women of who have had real careers, or have spent considerable time in the work force and/or raised children without nannies. Alimony Feminists are often women who vocally endorse feminist principles then consciously or unconsciously work against the advancement of women of actual accomplishment.
Obalosi: see also The Obalosi, in certain regions The Pelama:
The Obamlosi is the amorphous governing entity resulting from the merger of the Obama and Pelosi agendas in the early 21st Century. Usage various.
Examples: The Obamlosi wants those earmarks kept out of the papers.
It looks like Dodd will take the fall for the Obalosi on this one.
