Thought For The Day

It should be no secret that I abhor Sarah Palin.  The mere mention of her name sends shivers down my spine and causes me to convulse.  (In fact, I think I just threw up a little typing her name.)  The sound of her voice calls to mind the screeching wraiths of Hell.  She is, it could be said, a dementor straight out of the world of Harry Potter.  She's a single-minded, thoughtless, soul-sucking creature whose only intention is sucking all the good out of the world.  Well, the world that rational intelligent people inhabit at least.  She dismisses facts that don't congeal with her demented and small world-view out of hand, blaming them on lib'ral distortion and bias.  She seeks to remake the world in her image, and in Sarah's world everything  is Sarah.

The media's (well mostly Fox News') juvenile obsession with her is embarrassing.  It's like an 8th grade boy fawning over his unattainable crush.  Here we have a woman with no thoughts on actual policy, who speaks in platitudes, panders to the public, and stoops to the lowest common denominator at every chance, who dominates media attention for no good reason.  Memo to the media: Grow up and stop taking her seriously.

In short, Sarah Palin is what happens when the most obnoxious kid in class gets all the teacher's attention.
