cheese and rice
I spent most of this labor day weekend peeved, annoyed, and angry all because John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. I’ve tried not to think about it. But it really fucking pisses me off. Plus combine that with anxiety over Hurricane Gustav and some real life problems that are stressing me out so much I feel like I’m not breathing properly. Sigh…
McCain’s VP choice proves that he’s lost his mind completely. He is no longer the man he was 8 years ago. It’s sad to see that desperation. You don’t pick a running mate after only meeting them “2 times” and not properly vetting them.
Sarah Palin is quickly becoming a total disaster. I wonder if McCain can change his mind? Has that ever happened before?
There are so many reasons why I personally find Palin a horrible running mate. It’s only the tip of the iceberg to say that I find this choice offensive, insulting, and really bizarre.
Mudflats is an excellent blog from an Alaskan covering the Palin debacle. Read it and find out why this whole thing is so ridiculous.
Thank god yesterday Remi and I were able to just walk on the beach after running some errands. Yes, it was super crowded. Sure, we had to walk by the thousands of crosses set up in the sand right by Santa Monica Pier as part of an Iraq war protest which just depressed me. But it was beautiful. Little kids digging in the sand or jumping into waves. So many families enjoying a day together at the beach. We needed that time to just not think. Revel in the cool water and sand on our toes. Soak in the sounds of waves crashing and the refreshing breeze off the ocean. Reminding me of my grandmother, who played on that same beach as a little girl. Reminding me of my roots and bringing me a little peace before heading back to reality.
