I have little to say today.Okay, that’s not quite true. In fact, it’s not true at all.
I have much to say, but I am just not in the mood to say it right now.
I am in quite the bad mood…which for me, is rare.
My sweet, master of sarcasm son, screwed up again.
Nothing life shattering or anything but a continuation of a pattern of lying for no reason.
It has me baffled. More on that when I get the details from his mom later today.
I was watching the morning news shows earlier. Most pundits were saying that Palin did a good job during the debate last night because she didn’t fall on her face.
When did rote memorization and mediocrity became such celebrated attributes in our society?
I saw her more as a Roberta the Robot Vice Presidential Model R-2008-AK that had been programmed for the night.
Heartbeat away, eh Sarah? Dear God, I hope not.
On top of these two annoyances I have my usual, “Friday Morning, Off All Day Thursday Hangover.”
For that part of my grumpiness, I take full responsibility.
So there you have it. That’s all there is. There isn’t anymore.
Until tomorrow, and our next installment of Saturdays with Sarah, I bid you…
Cheers!!
Update 10:12 A.M.: I omitted from today's post that today is my friend to the North's 39th Birthday...She's my favorite Canadian, or is that Canadien? (I wish those drunk fuckers would settle on one or the other) Anyhoo, Happy Birthday Anndi, eh!?
59 comments:
She got through it like you said without falling on her face, as did Biden. Her smiley, winking face bothered me more than anything, like she was thinking, I'm just a soccer mom gone political asshole, don't you just love me?
Micky: The winking gave me the creeps. Cheers Mick!!
I was annoyed by her stating she was going to answer what she wanted...an insult to the moderator and to the US Public. I do not want my good buddy to run the country, I want someone who is solid in the facts to run my country.
She had the two talking points her handlers made her memorize and that is all she had..and if she winked one more time I was going to pull out a $20 and take her in an alley.
As far as Ryno...dude, he is at that age ... I dealt with it with Matt around that time..it is some sort of hormonal thing boys feel they have to do. Hope it all works out.
Bond: McCain has already paid her off and taken her into the alley so to speak. And yeah, WTF? "I'll answer what I wanna answer." Blow me, biotch.
Eh, Ryno. Oy Vay. It's lying about stupid stuff. That's what gets me. Cheers!!
She did about what I expected. She has debated before so that she knows how to do. But her'folksy' shit was driving me nuts. She couldn't say a word that ended in a 'g'.
She's NOT a 'hockey mom'--she's a POLITICIAN.
Biden actually looked better than I htought he would EXCEPT who the hell 'taped' his face back like that???
TB: Ha. He did have kind of a Wind Tunnel effect going on, didn't he?
But, he was statesmanly, in command of the facts, measured and assured. Who the hell wants that in a VP, when you can have an Eski-Ho?
Would you like to lie in my lap and I'll rub your little pointy bald head until it feels better?
Yeah, I thought so.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Good luck with the boy. I'm betting it's just hormones.
OH and I refuse to have another 4 years of someone in the White House who can not pronounce the work nu-cle-ar
it is not nuc-u-lor
And did you catch the "Senator Obiden"...she said it at least twice...a malaprop or a subtle dig?
Bond: I thought I had heard her say that. And yeah, I notice the nukeyalur, thing.
As much as my common sense, hope for the future, and will to live, want Palin/McCain far, far away from the Oval Office, the comedian in me so wants four years of them being in charge. Cheers!!
RLL: Oh my...My big hungover head feels better now but now my other one is throbbing. Thanks and Cheers!!
I sta there stunned as she told the world that the principles of a "debate" don't apply to her. Maybe she feels entitled or something.
Of course, she was instructed by the handlers not to answer anything she hadn't been drilled for. If all she's confortable with is talking about Joe six-pack -that's supposed to represent the middle class American male? - well, except you ;) - and oil she can have a cabinet position... not next in line with her manicured finger on the nuculer button.
Good luck with Ryno... rebellion and testing limits. What fun! NOT
Anndi: Dammit. As soon as I saw your comment I remembered something:
HAPPY FRICKING BIRTHDAY!! DAMN, I MEANT TO POST GOOD WISHES TODAY. TO REPEAT, HAPPY FRICKING BIRTHDAY, ANNDI!!
I hope it's a good one. Yeah, I find Sarah quite stunning every time she speaks...Okay maybe the actual feeling is, dumbfounded. Cheers!!
LOL You had quite a bit on your mind!
Thanks babe.
it's not just teenage boys....grownup boys lie too.
oh wait...I meant to say not just teenage boys...teenage girls do too. (smile)
it does rankle a parent when the lies are about stupid stuff that is easily found out.
(and yeah yeah I am fully aware grownup women lie upon occassion)
I had no shock or surprise during the debate.(except I thought the Dem ticket was in support of gay marriage) I caught the OBiden thing too...I am fairly certain it was unintentional...but it'll make great SNL fodder.
model R2008AK
laughing.
You and Jeff can fight over who gets to feel Grumpy.
....she called me "Joe six pack".....
Anndi: You are more then welcome, enjoy the day. Cheers!!
Kat: I never lie or make things up!! Okay, I just lied, but that's different. Right? RIGHT?
Yeah, as I said yesterday, it would probably be a non-event. I don't think people are going to look back years or even days from now and say, "Hey, remember that Biden/Palin, debate?" Cheers Kat!!
Phfrankie: Maybe she's sweet on you. Cheers P-Man!!
If the Dems win....I think people will remember it...as they do the Geraldine Ferraro debate.
If the Reps will it will take on much more historical significance.
Now I know why I'm feeling better. I passed the pissy on to you. Hell, if I'd have known it was that easy, I'd have done it three days ago.
The debate did solidify my decision. Glad I watched it.
LOL.. tell you what, you can pick!
SMOOCH!
Couldn't they teach her to say, "nuclear"? Is this a part of the republican platform?
It's all I wanted from this election.
Kat: Ya think? I do remember being glued to my TV during Geraldine's debate with 41. She said...um...sh-...and then, um...Yep. Cheers Kat!!
Jeff: See? I'm an empath. Lay your problems on me. Glad you are feeling better. Cheers!!
Anndi: Hmmmmm? Canadian or Canadien? When it comes to you, I'll just refer to you as, HOT!! Cheers!!
Marilyn: Ha. You ask for so little and yet they say, "Screw Marilyn, we're going nukyalur." So sad. Cheers Marilyn!!
I read the title of your post and was terrified that I was going to find some LolCatz pic. Whew! Thank goodness it wasn't that bad ...
Palin did a million times better than expected. No, she didn't come out the winner, but she does deserve some credit.
Dana: Ha. I would never do that to the masses. LOL Hitler, yes...LOL Catz, no. Cheers Sexy!!
Karen: Deserves credit for what? If my kid got an 40 on a test and then came home with a 60 on the next one, I wouldn't be excited by him doing 50 percent better. It's still an F. Cheers Karen!!
I thought something was up when I couldn't reach out and touch you this morning. I thought the debate was a big waste of good TV time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNDI *kisses* Uhm I dig Anndi :)
Lu: I too, missed the morning dew that you bring out in me when you touch me.
It was pretty much a snoozer. Cheers!!
I was reading up the comments and Anndi mentioned "Joe six pack" I hate that term. My "joe" is sporting a keg :)
That's right I sometimes post based on the blog and tehn read the comments. I'm just wacky I guess duh huh or maybe a soccer Mom, not. Geeze Mothers today are that and so much more. Turn the phrase bun head.
Lu: Ha. Bun Head. I like that. Enjoy your Keg Man this weekend. Cheers!!
Happy happy "kanuk" Anndi!!!
Oh I so wanted to smack the winks right out of lame and tall!! The "adorable" is getting quite old...
Step up to ryno and tell him lying is worse than anything... That was the ONE thing I didn't put up with... the youngest boy was the worst and as far as ryno goes a lot of it is the age,,,,It flunkin sucks!
Good luck with it baby boy.. be strong and carry a big stick.

"When did rote memorization and mediocrity became such celebrated attributes in our society?"
Dude. Watched much TV or movies lately. They're giving awards to people like that.
We celebrate "averageness" (is that a word?)in virtually every area of our society.
Cheesy: Thanks for the coffee. As for the lying, his mom and I have talked to him about how the lie is the worst thing forever...It just ain't sinkin' in evidently. Cheers Cheesy!!
Jay: It was a rhetorical question or don't you study those in Arkansas? Ha. Hey, thanks for the toast to Schmoop and I. Cheers Funny Man!!
Hey, a very belated congrats to you and Schmoop. Sorry I missed the proposal and acceptance earlier this week.
Jeff: Why thanks. I only asked her after you kept rebuffing my advances towards you. Cheers!!
Ryno is a teen now. It's just going to get worse. Good luck with that whole raising kids thing. They seem so cute and then bam, lying and acne.
I was very impressed with Palin. She didn't fall over or pass out or answer any questions. I thought she did a very good job avoiding the debate.
I'm with Turnbaby on Biden's odd taped up face. Was that really the best they could do? It was like they had strings holding up his eye bags.
Some folks tell untruths when telling the truth would be just as easy—and just as safe. The key word is “safe.”
Ah…. So you too noticed that the Governor of Alaska turned questions around so that she could respond from her memorized script whether or not her answer related to the question. That’s an ancient debating technique that seldom scores any points in a debate.
Blessings for a better day!
"When did rote memorization and mediocrity became such celebrated attributes in our society?"
Right about the time Dubya was voted in and the No Child Left Undumbed act was passed.
I have NO FAITH in Americans. None. Democracy ensures we get the government we deserve and frankly I think we are a nation of fucking morons. Which is why I expect McCain to win.
Must be an aquarian thing. I am in a pissy mood ass well. Unpaid childsupport has a bit to do with it I am sure.
The thing I resent the most about Palin's debate-ee-ness (as Colbert would call it) is the crap about she isn't going to speak to the debate moderator or to Biden, she isn't going to follow the format - NO, she's speaking "directly to the American public" - see that's the BS that Bush and so many other Republicans pull - they want us to be as stupid and closed minded as they are BUT they present it under the guise of being regular folk. If I wanted regular folk in the White House I'd vote for the drunk at the Stop N' Shop, he's fucking adorable and hilarious!
I survived the lying years. Jeff is 35 and one hell of a great man. They test Matty, they push the envelope and fiddle about with the line - you can relate to that! It's part of the process although I feel for ya. I often wanted to kill the bastard.
Knight: Ha, yes she did didn't she? I'd still rather have sex with Joe than Sarah. Did I just say that? Cheers Knight!!
Nick: I think most thinking people realize what she did
and what she is. Cheers Nick!!
Starr: She's a pig. But the numbers I have seen, are trending Obama's way. Hope you get your money pal. Cheers!!
Dianne: It's cutesy, it's kitschy, it's rude. She was pretty much saying, "Fuck You." What a jackass she is.
As for Ryno? I don't know what's up with him, 'cause he isn't pushing anything. Cheers Di!!
Sorry to hear about your son, babe. Hope it's not too bad. Hang in there... Hugz
hey matt.....hasn't anyone mentioned how hot sarah looked last night? only comment is your post is on biden's face.....I thought her outfit was stunning....i enjoyed the side camera shot of her too...can anyone spell milf? you'd think that the mccain/palin ticket has the 18-27 year old male vote wrapped up...
and i raised/help raise 3 teenage boys...and yes...boys lie....then they become men and men lie....however women are the angels of the world and never lie (except both of my ex-wives....)
ya know....I could very easily put my hair all up like that and get a different pair glasses...
maybe I should pack a suit and highheals for this weekend?
(I gotta go now and practice my wink)
promise????
smile....
DB: Eh, it'll be fine eventually. Nothing major. Thanks and Cheers Sexy!!
Teamster: Let's be accurate: She's a soon to be GILF. But even so, I'd only have sex with her if she had a ball gag in her mouth so I didn't have to listen to her. Cheers!!
Kat: If you did that AND had a frontal lobotomy you'd would be just like her. Cheers Kat!!
I guess I have just been so turned off by her voice and her thoughts and those (trying to be so cute winks) that I will leave her to you guys...plus, I don't think her legs are so hot...
My Betty Boop bobble head doll would be a better veep. That "gosh darnit" faux folksie crap annoyed the ever living fuck out of me.
Bond: She's "eh". Have a good weekend Vinny. Cheers!!
Starr: Betty Boop Bobble Head Doll? That sounds HAWT!! Cheers!!
SOrry you feel like crap. Glad you can take it like a man, however.
If I have to watch and listen to sarah palin again I will SO have to be drunk. man!
Vodka: Feelin' just duckie now Vodka, thanks. Ha. She is annoying. Oy Vay!! Have a great weekend VM, Cheers!!
Ha! I seem to have the same issue with my son. Just found out he's not turned in any homework since the first week of school. We're in the fifth week of school now. Needless to say, I was not too happy with the situation. He's heading for a great career in politics though...
VE: Ha. My kid told us that his interim grade card was NOT given to him last Friday when it was. I don't know why; his grades were pretty decent.
He pulled the non-turning in of homework thing last year. Good Luck with that. Cheers VE!!
How many times did she say "ramp it up", for gosh-darn sake?! And if I had to sit at her freakin' kitchen table and talk to her, my head would explode! Gee Whiz!
Metal: And we all know how messy that can be. Cheers!!
Everyone has pretty much been there and said that about the debate. I've been trying to avoid the political stuff.
However, all I wanted from the two candidates was to answer the questions. Senator Biden dodged a few. But at least he didn't start the debate by insulting my intelligence and suggesting that a debate wasn't about answering the questions.
And I liked Turn's comment above. Governor Palin isn't a soccer mom or a housewife or an average American...she's a politician.
Travis: Every American Mom doesn't have a staff and handlers? Cheers Travis!!
I have a handler!
Cheesy: Not the naked kind, silly. Cheers!!
