random thought

Am I the only one who read yesterday's headline "Palin as McCain's pick for VP" and thought, "Michael Palin? Will his first act be to institute a real Ministry of Silly Walks?"
Surely I'm not the only one...

Haha! No, you're definitely not.In fact,every time I bookmark something Palin related on del.ic.ious and tag it with "Palin",I'm wondering how many people will think it's Michael Palin.

I get tangled up every time I heard her mentioned and have to wait for my brain's logic filters to kick in with "no, no. Not the *cool* Palin, the McCain Veep one."

You're definitely not the only one mixing those two up.
Back when Siegfried and Roy's tiger went on the attack, I found myself reading a headline and wondering why Arundhati Roy had a metal plate put into her head.

You are not alone. Let's see, conservative values and the religious right. What next, the Spanish Inquisition? No, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Fortunately, a year from now we'll forget that she ever existed. It is evident that the Republicans think that women are stupid (Thank you, Captain Obvious). Leave it to the GOP to turn the nomination of a woman to high political office into an exercise of monumental sexism.
Too bad your first instinct was incorrect. Political donations for an old ex-leper?
