that i might practice what i preach—DONE UPDATING—UPDATED

[click image, video, 40 minutes]

I am in the midst of enduring Palin's big speech from last night. My second cousin loves her, thinks she's so pretty, admires her so much for raising five kids, for deciding to carry Trigg... even though, personally, I'm still very sure Trigg isn't Sarah's... and I'm just saying whatever good about her I can think of... along with the extremely pertinent not-good things... leaving off the gossipy personal stuff and just discussing her in terms of her suitability, and lack thereof, for public office... just agreeing where I can and being open... without going into attack mode....

It's already occurred to Sandie that she just likes her as a person, not thinking about how unsuitable she is as a political leader. I actually can understand this... goofy as it sounds... because we really have not seen any political candidates who were likable, people we feel we can identify with, in a long, long time. They're all space lizards. Too bad, really, that Palin is just a hypnotized and vain airhead. I wish people could bring themselves to admit that she really wouldn't be any worse than we have right now, that all these people do is take orders, act something like tv news anchors, just parrot whatever comes into their earbuds... sign what they're told to sign... go where the Secret Service takes them.

So, anyway, if you think you might want to try to endure this with me... be my guest.... I advise a nice stiff drink, though... well, heck... maybe even two....

Minute 10:00. Okay. This is hard. I might be asking too much. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Definitely two slugs of brandy material, even for those laboring through Advanced Bodhisattva Theory in the University of the Cosmos. So if you want to skip this, and go for something only tangentially related, I will more than understand....
.

Oh, oh! Minute 16:00, she mentions about us being "tired of talk, talk, talk"... yeh-hess... I am SO tired of that.... See? I might only be able to find one or two snippets, short phrases to agree with, but, well, there you go.
.

Ha! Minute 21:00, "Howz that hopey changey thing workin' out for ya?" And then, "Yup, a transparency meeting behind closed doors." LOL You GO girl! It's workin' out for shit. THAT'S a fact! Not that you'd do even half an ion better, but, well, sing it!

[No. I have NOT poured my second slug yet. I'm still sober. Just a couple sips to take the edge off... I swear it.]
.

I guess what we could call this that I'm doing here: Dead Blogging the Palin Tea Party Speech.... "I guess if you can't ride two horses at one time, you shouldn't be in the circus." Amen.
.

Minute 29:00, give that reset button to Congress... start all over again on healthcare.... Flawless point, I am certain you agree. I can't wait to hear what she proposes to start over with though....
.

Coming up on minute 37:00: "This movement... it demands civility and it requires decent, constructive, issue-oriented debate." Another good point....
.

After minute 40:00: I MADE IT! I made it! I made it! And I didn't EVEN have to gulp my logger martini. I haven't even finished it yet. I MADE IT!

Palin looks like total crap... 'rode hard and put away wet' as our shared shit-kickers would say. Stood up there and mentioned Reagan approximately eleven times... bullshitted her base just about as seamlessly as Obama ever did, and... I MADE IT! I haven't barfed. The cabin didn't blow up. The squabbling raccoons are still alive. And I found some fleeting points of agreement. Goddammitalltoheck! I SO ROCK.
.

End dead-blogging Palin blather.

What passes for a media reaction....
