I want you to know, my opinion of Palin has not changed. She is the worst possible vp candidate, imo. She is an insult to voting women, an implied tool to get on the fence female voters to vote the McCain ticket. She wears fur, for cripes sake!

But I want to be fair in my assessment of the candidates, or at least their objective position on THE ISSUES.

Unlike Palin, McCain, Biden and Obama at least have voting records.

( Biden sorta pro-choice, pro wildlife refuges, pro gay civil unions )
( McCain anti-choice, anti-gays, anti-wilderness drilling, ten commandments rule )
( Obama pro-choice, sorta pro-gays, likes to preserve parks and stuff )
There, I hope you're happy. I'm still never ever in a million years voting for Palin. Ever. Yes, I'm voting for that other dude. Even if I want Kucinich to be president. :)

Must. Stop. Insanity.

Hockey Moms" were out in force for Sarah Palin last night...at least that's the impression the Republicans wanted you to have. Last night, I went to the Republican National Convention mainly to see how it differed from festivities in Denver, and boy was it different. Probably one of the most notable things was the Republican use of "handmade" signs. You couldn't enter the Xcel Center with a handmade sign, but that's ok...when you got inside and got to a seat, there were handmade signs waiting for you. . Interestingly, on either side of the arena, the signs were identical. As festivities began, I noticed the presence of "Hockey Moms for Palin" signs scattered in two strategic spots in the convention hall. They were placed only in the line of sight of television cameras. I'm sure it was only a coincidence that when Sarah Palin mentioned she was a hockey mom, those with the signs "went crazy," thereby opening the opportunity for Palin to make a little joke:

At the end of the day, it's an act of desperation, and frankly, insulting. There wasn't a "Step-mom's for Cindy" sign sitting anywhere around, a sign that perhaps would have appealed to me...is that because we don't want to remind voters that families are broken...including the McCain family? Are Hockey Moms more American than Step-moms? That's what it felt like. And what's with the classifications of motherhood anyway?

This is Willow. She was part of a cruelty case in northern California where someone was neglecting his animals. There were dozens of ducks, geese, rabbits, a turkey, and some pigeons. I was able to get homes for all the ducks, geese, most of the rabbits and the pigeons. We agreed to take the turkey and three of the rabbits.

Willow is that turkey. She is a Jekyll and Hyde kind of girl. When she is in heat, she shuns the male turkeys and seeks out the humans. In fact, she follows you around, propositioning you at every turn. If you aren't careful, you will trip over her and she'll think you're having sex. Out of heat, she beats up chickens and runs away from people. That's just the kind of girl she is.
