Week of November 9, 2008 - November 15, 2008

Get busy living or get busy dying....


"That's god dammed right....I find I am so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.   I think it's the excitement that only a free man can feel.  A free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain....I hope...I hope....I hope."      Thanks Barack.

Sarah & Greta and the Surprise for the kids.


Ok. I know the race is over and the best candidate won, but now Sarah Palin has "also" admitted that Todd put her kids on the plane to Ohio for her announcement of being the "VP pick" to surprise them.  He suggested the same thing in an ealier interview with Greta. 

That's fine.  Surprise the kids. Mommy's going to run for Vice President.  But let's not forget that this was more than a surprise for her 17 year old daughter who was pregnant.  It had to be a shock to find yourself in the national spotlight only hours after stepping off an airplane trip that was supposed to be a surprise.  It was a major imposition on her privacy.  No wonder she looked so uncomfortable on that stage, holding her baby brother and a blanket, so as to shield her pregnancy.  If Governor Palin did not inform her daughter of her intention to renter the national scene before she got on the aircraft, it is shameful.  If this is the case, im my opinion, it was a selfish decision a mother and I wish someone would call her out on it. 

The need for secrecy in some aspects of Presidential politics is understandable.  But, to thrust your young, unwed teenage daughter into the spotlight for political reasons, without the decency of a warning is shameful.
