does sarah palin deserve to be on television? ...no. the only channel that i feel she is qualified to participate in is cartoon network. no, i'm not talking about "adult swim" cartoon network. i'm not even talking about the anime or "clone wars" line up of cartoon network. i'm saying she may be just cut out for "ben 10" cartoon network. another question: if mccain won, would cnn offer joe biden a job? abso-fucking no way in hell. so why does palin have a seat at fox's table? easily, she was the most popular character during the '08 race (the word "character" best describes it). i grant fox's right to use her popularity to their advantage. to do otherwise would be bad business. however, i don't think they took the time to analyze in too much detail why she was so popular in the '08 race. in the simplest term i can think of, she was "special". you know, the politically incorrect version of "special". giving her a seat at fox's table is like giving a "participation" or "good effort" trophy to the losing team of a children's bowling league. so they put her on tv in hopes of getting ratings from people who are asking "what cookey things is she gonna do today?"
got an idea. let's put an amendment in the constitution that says that whenever a political candidate is making a speech, the phrase "the american people" must grammatically be used in the singular. for example "the american people wants change" or "the american people has spoken" or "the american people is hungry". i used the singular form of the verbs instead of the plural form. i want this because both parties have claimed time and time again to know what all people in america desire or need. nancy pelosi is a huge offender. but often times, what each party claims as to what every person wants opposes and negates each other. logically, that means that each party has their own view of who composes "the american people", so either one party is wrong or they are both wrong. in which case, they should stop referring to the american people (plural) and instead refer to their VIEW of the american people (singular).
guys, have you ever been in a hopeless situation involving a group of women and cameras? well, 8 days ago, my fiance, barbara, graduated from maritime college in the bronx. there was she, my mom, my grandma, and myself. as we were finding some seats, barbara wanted some pictures before she had to go line up with the rest of her class. we found a spot near the edge of the giant tent where there's some sunlight and i posed with barbara and my mom first. from there, the conversation was mind-numbing. i don't even need to bother telling jokes; the conversation speaks for itself.
(we pose)
grandma: ok smile. one, two, three! ....oh shoot, the flash didn't go off. sometimes it takes a while for the flash to charge. ok, there's the light. (we pose again) smile. one, two, three! *click*
barbara: ok, now use my camera
(we pose again)
grandma: ok, here we go. smile. one, two three! *click*
barbara: ok, let me look how it turned out... good. now, grandma kathryn, it's your turn to get in.
grandma: oh, ok. here you go, diane.
mom: thank you. alrighty. (we pose) here we go. one, two, three! ...why is the screen black?
barbara: you just turned the camera off.
mom: oh.
barbara: here, let me turn it back on. ...alright, now, it's this button, not the other one.
mom: ok, smile. (we pose again) one, two, three! *ckick* how was that?
barbara: ...um, the picture is on an angle and it's blurry. you were moving too much. take another one.
mom: ok, here we go. (we pose again) one, two, three! *click* how was that?
barbara: ...that looks good, thanks.
grandma: ooh, now use mine!
mom: alright. barbara here is your camera back...
me: the sun is burning my neck.
mom: alright, big smiles! (we pose again, my neck turns red) one, two, three! *click*
please tell me if this has happened to anyone else.
