Moroccan author and blogger Laila Lalami calls the situation a "train wreck," urging us to question Sarah Palin's foreign policies rather than focus on her family:

...It's obvious she's been selected more for her life story than for her meager domestic credentials. For God's sake, her state has fewer people than Brooklyn. As for her foreign policy knowledge, I'd like to see someone ask her about the nuclear non-proliferation treaties or the difference between a Sunni and a Shia or where the Green Line falls or how she plans to handle relations with Pakistan. But I won't bet on it. I suspect we'll keep hearing about the pregnant girl and the hockey player boyfriend instead.

clipper's remarks: 7:57 p.m.: I’m guessing Jack Bauer of “24″ would vote for Gov. Palin.

8:01 p.m.: Holy crap! She’s a pitbull and has opened a can of Whoop-ass on Barack Obama.

8:05 p.m.: Palin has managed to make Obama look insignificant, McCain appear heroic, and herself: a grassroots American who won’t back down from a fight.

8:09 p.m.: Palin has just hijacked the presidential campaign. I’ve got a skeptical, Obama-loving wife and some liberal sons, and they all think she killed it.

8:11 p.m.: She gets bonus points if that skirt is actually leather.

8:13 p.m.: Incredible visuals at the end: pregnant teenage daughter, goofy (but handsome) father of teenage daughter’s baby, Down’s Syndrome baby. Does anyone not have a tear in their eye?

7:33 p.m.: Great so far. Keeping the spotlight on McCain.

7:35 p.m.: Wow. Playing the mom and aunt card! Nice!

7:36 p.m.: How uncomfortable is that boyfriend? He should be at his senior prom, not on display at the RNC.

7:37 p.m.: Mother of a military man. Mother of a special needs child? What’s next? Mother of a pregnant teenager? Hold on.

7:39 p.m.: Did you see Cindy McCain checking out Todd Palin? My wife is in LOVE!

7:41 p.m.: Is hockey an American sport?

7:42 p.m.: So far, she’s killing it.

7:46 p.m.: Do you hear that? It’s America falling in love with Sarah Palin.

7:48 p.m.: Governor’s jet on E-Bay? Classic.

7:52 p.m.: She’s made a great impression. Tough administrator, not a part of the old boys’ network. As my wife just said, “She makes me want to go to Alaska.”

7:54 p.m.: The line about “authoring two memoirs” but not a single bill in the Senate was great.

7:56 p.m.: Oh boy. She is Obama’s worst nightmare. An attractive politician with a great sense of humor is a lethal combo.

Abstinence or a condom in every pot

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:27:58 GMT

clipper's remarks: Over the past two decades, as more and more school systems have implemented abstinence programs, the rate of teen pregnancy has declined. The number of high-school students who say they are virgins has increased, and the abortion rate has dropped. Is all of this good news due to abstinence-only programs? It’s a complex subject, and the evidence remains inconclusive. And clearly any school abstinence message is practically drowned out by the vulgar and licentious culture all around us. Still, we may be slowly climbing out of the hole we’ve dug for ourselves. The last thing we should be doing is declaring abstinence education a failure.

Clip Source: article.nationalreview.com

“Bristol Palin: Proof That Abstinence Only Education Doesn’t Work.”

Rubbish. The experience of one individual tells us exactly nothing about the wisdom of any public policy. For what it’s worth, it seems Ms. Palin may indeed have received traditional (i.e. contraceptive instruction) sex ed in her public school. But in any case, we do not know (and speaking for myself, do not wish to know) anything about the particulars of her pregnancy. It may be that she and her boyfriend used contraceptives diligently and the contraceptives failed. Certainly, this much is undeniable: more girls get pregnant by thoroughly following the recommendations of birth control advocates than do girls who strictly adhere to an abstinence program.

Teenagers are terrible contraceptors. Though 98 percent of sexually active teens report using at least one method of birth control, 8.4 percent got pregnant in 2000. Fully 25 percent of sexually active teens contracts an STD each year.

Why is this anybody's business?

WASILLA, Alaska (Sept. 2) - The boyfriend of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's unwed, pregnant daughter will join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn.

clipper's remarks: Sad, but let us hope that those who still hold on to their xenophobia and complete unfounded fears of anyone who looks different from themselves. Will, at long last, get so fed up with the status quo of the almighty greed and corporate powerbrokers, who use any tool to hold on to their powers. Consequently, making them realize that they are just pawns to the GREED GODS This "awakening" will end the long reign of power by those who only care about themselves. I can only dream.thinkingblue

AMERICA'S IGNORANCE ON RACE

EXCERPTED FROM PM CARPENTER

The (Newsweek) new poll suggests white voters continue to be a challenge for Obama

We are still living in the DARK AGES as far as ignorance amongst the American populous. I don't know when it will change, if ever. When I got a job as a civil service employee, in the 60's, working for The Clerk of Quarter Sessions, I had a DOOFUS (click) boyfriend tell me, not to take the job because I would be outnumbered by blacks and maybe even wind up with a black boss.

At that time, I had a friend who was a civil service employee tell me, "it's a good opportunity, don't pass it up". So I took the job and found out... HOLY JUMPING JUPITER, BATMAN, dark skin or light skin, people are all the same. Some are ASSHOLES and some are quite rational.

Well here I am, almost two generations down the road and prejudice is quite ensconced "STILL" in the American psyche.

22. You think you're in bed, but your pillow feels strangely like the bathroom floor.

23. Your hugs begin to resemble wrestling take-down moves.

24. You begin to think you're a really good dancer and anyone within arms reach becomes your new dancing partner.

25. You've taken off your shoes because you believe it's their fault that you're having problems walking.

27. One minute you're strutting your stuff, the next minute you're rolling on the ground, and you can't seem to remember the transition.

28. You can no longer feel your face or limbs so you flail your body about to try to regain feeling.

29. You call your ex-boyfriend 1,000 times and leave lots of really nice voicemails saying that ya'll need to hang out more.

Why I hate Anthony (For Better Or For Worse)

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:15:17 GMT

clipped by: Lexica

Clip Source: shaenon.livejournal.com

If you read comics, you know which Anthony I mean. Very likely you’re already nodding in agreement. I’m talking about Anthony Caine, Elizabeth Patterson’s ex-boyfriend in For Better or For Worse.

I hate Anthony. I hate him more than I’ve ever hated a cartoon character

I’m far from the only one; Anthony supporters appear to be a tiny minority

most of them can’t muster much more enthusiasm than, “Hey, he’s not that bad.”

1. The “Beauty and the Geek” plot, already overused in comic strips.

2. The “childhood sweethearts reunited” plot, already overused in For Better or For Worse.

3. The plodding inevitability of the Liz-Anthony pairing.

4. His stupid moustache.

5. Everyone’s constantly talking him up.

6. He’s boring, whiny and pathetic.

7. He’s not a nice guy; he’s a Nice Guy[tm].

8. The whole storyline with the wife is fucking sexist.

9. Anthony represents the death of youthful dreams.

Jury convicts mom in microwaved-baby case

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Detectives looking into the death of a month-old girl didn't at first consider that a microwave oven might have been used.

They knew the baby had been burned but were unsure how. The baby's mother, China Arnold, told investigators she had no idea what happened.

But on Friday, nearly three years to the day since the baby's death, Arnold was convicted of cooking her child in the microwave. The baby's DNA was found inside the microwave in Arnold's apartment, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said Arnold intentionally put her baby in the microwave oven after a fight with her boyfriend.

Arnold was found guilty of aggravated murder and could be sentenced to death. The jury was scheduled to return Tuesday to begin a sentencing hearing.

I don't usually have much weird shit happen, but one photo turned up really strange a while ago, it's of me (Brunette on left standing between strange bearded man and woman in blue fleece) and my boyfriend (kneeling looking happy about booze) on New Year's, with some of his friends (and their parents). The first picture was taken a couple of secs before the second. Nobody was smoking, there wasn't any mist at the time. There's a bit of a figure in the second one, beside me.

50 Things Girls should Know about Guys:

1. Guys hate sluts.

2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" - two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.

3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.

5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.

Where isn’t James Franco these days? From a stoner in Pineapple Express to Harvey Milk’s boyfriend in Milk, the face of Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme, he’s everywhere! Here’s his new ad for the cologne. What do you think? Does Franco rock the David Lynch-esque art house feel of this spot, or does he just come across as silly? Do you like Róisín Murphy’s cover of Bryan Ferry’s classic Slave to Love? Does it all make you want to smell like James Franco?
