Okay, so, I am powerless to control my need to read every bit and byte anywhere in the whole internet about Sarah Palin. It's not even about politics - she's like the most implausible fictional character ever, and the more I read, the less plausible she seems, and I'm fascinated.So anyway, here are some of the my favorite random Vice-Presidential-

Oh lordy, you are just feeding my own obsession here. Vile enabler! Thanks for the links.

Her children's names bug the heck out of me. Isn't it sort of cruel to name your mentally disabled son after a branch of higher mathematics? Will future children be named Calc and Chem?

One of my Shibboleths of Adult Dating was to vet the names of any children of dating candidates. Non-names and kreativ spelinz are huge red flags to me.

See, if she had named her kids after art supplies, that would be all right with me - Bristol Board Palin! Pipe Cleaner Palin! Willow Brand Colored Pencils Palin!

But that's why nobody asks my advice when naming their children, I guess.

Oh man, I thought I was the only one old enough to think of Bristol Board the first time I heard her name.

Don't forget Benday and Rotring for the boys. The trouble is, everybody would be jealous of the one who got to be called X-acto, because that is the coolest spelling of the coolest art supply ever. Little Cray-Pas would never get over it.

Rotring! Rotring stayed in diapers forever, practically, because he was leaky. Benday's the one with the short attention span and funny ideas. Poor little Cray-Pas had to dress up in loud colors just to get anyone's attention, because of being the youngest. And X-acto was not only the coolest, he was smart too - it's just not fair, you know?

Ooh, I love it when someone uses "shibboleth" correctly, rather than as a synonym for "canard." :)
