More Palin Fun

My aunt forwarded this to me this morning. So glad to know my family is with me on this.

I'm a little confused.

Let me see if I have this straight... If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'

Grow up in Alaska killing and eating moose, you're a quintessential American story.

If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

But if you name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive (and according to the actuarial tables, you have a greater than 30% chance of succeeding the president during your first term).

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your severely handicapped wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school systems while your un-wed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family values don't represent America's.

If your husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now!


It really scares me to know that there are women voting for McCain/Palin just because Palin is a woman. Or even worse, because Clinton isn't the Democratic candidate. I'm all for a female President, but not THIS female... ::shudder::

Paper Foldy Things -- MADE!

Remember the paper foldy things I mentioned? Well, I made the Stormtrooper! Here's pics!


I also made the Prince from Katamari Damacy (a super-awesome video game) but I forgot to take pics and it's at the office... And I've got Scott Pilgrom, Iron Man & a Sentinel to make! So fun! I got a bunch of people at the office hooked on 'em, so if Marvel goes under due to nothing being done... ;-) haha

Here's where he sits now, on my Mac tower, protecting my new space:


Now I'm off to maybe get a Sprint Instinct... MAYBE...

Newest Cover Commission!

How frakkin' beautiful is this?!? It's the newest cover I got to commission, for the Mythos HC. Paolo Rivera is amazing! Check out his cover process on his blog here.

For that matter, check out his whole blog to see more examples of his artistic awesomeness!

Definitely get this hardcover when it comes out! Not only because I worked on it, but because you will enjoy reading it and looking at it! :)

One of My Favourite Songs Ever...

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.
They make it hard to leave you alone.
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new.

Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause.

Theres too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go.
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares.

Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause.
Im tired of fighting
Im tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Theres a place where you are going
You aint never been before
Theres no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?

Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause
Im tired of fighting
Im tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause.

(Lost Cause by Beck)

TV Time!

Got stuck at work late because out whole department moved, but I still had to get that damned A to Z Handbook Vol. 5 HC out (it's awesome, though, get one when it comes out!), so I missed my beloved kickboxing class. :-( So when I got home, I watched episode 3 of 90210 and the first of the new season of House last night!

90210: Excellent. 2nd episode was okay, but not as cool, the 3rd was awesome! Continuity crazy!!! Brenda was back and they even mentioned "Donna Martin Graduates!" Sweet! And more of the mother from Arrested Development, which is always good. Loved this one.

House: YAY!!!! Man, I missed this show!!! It's comfort to me. Like Law & Order: SVU. Weirdly comforting. I like the formula and I love the characters. This one was great, with a great ending. Loved it.

And not to disappoint: Holy crap, House looked ESPECIALLY attractive this time around!! I think it's a haircut. Man, for a guy nearly 50, he's frakkin' HOT!!

The End.

PS Pissed, though, cuz my DVR didn't record the second Fringe...now I gotta watch it online...

Ouch

The Mets.

You've got to be f-ing kidding me.

This is because I bought tickets to a *possible* post season game, isn't it? >:-(
