aseSATUDAY MORNING: To really stupid rumors (mightygodking) I bring really basic medical stats. Nail Palin on her political record; if she is raising her grandchild for her daughter, I really don't care that much. (I am waiting with bated breath for some Palin political scandal, because hi, Alaska: home of corruption worthy of the Mayors Daley; stooping to personal attacks makes me ask for people to stop being on my side.) Sunday ETA: huh. Just - what Scalzi said.
SUNDAY EVENING: Did an overnight trip to dad's. Dad just got back from looking at houses in Tucson; he and Second Wife made an offer on a short-sale. Second Wife was doing nothing I wanted any part of, so I didn't see much of her or her dogs. Or the horsies. (If you ever need to be convinced of the fundamental stupidity of a horse, try loading it into a horse trailer. If you ever need evidence of my willingness to judge you by your hobbies, watch my reaction to you trying to move your horse.) So I let dad use me as an excuse to try an Indian restaurant - so much pain there - saw the house-shopping pics, and dad's kitchen garden - why aren't the store cucumbers this snazzy? Why? - we chilled with soccer on HD, and eventually I took the hour and a half back home on car, bus and metro, loaded up with foodie things dad dumped on me.
TODAY: Cooking. Grocery runs. Baking. Food prep. My oven is running hot. Not on, cookie-making machine! Go over-fry my chicken, or something else I only marginally care about!
FOR MANY, MANY DAYS: book log. Er, July's. Watch this space for a special July/August book log double edition!

Date: 2008-09-02 01:51 am (UTC)As for political scandal, look no further than Troopergate. Palin fired the chief of public safety for not firing a trooper who was divorcing her sister. Then she replaced the chief with someone who had to resign two weeks later due to sexual harrassment charges from the past (lack of vetting, anyone?). Apparently her tenure as major of Wasilla wasn't much better.
Just google Troopergate Palin for more info than you can shake a stick at. This isn't the only pre-emptory dismissal she's been involved with, and I expect it to be the tip of the iceberg.
...she's also associated with the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) who want to leave the union.
My "What the hell is McCain thinking???" vibe has been hitting record-high levels these past few days. :P
