someone, please! put her out of my misery!
Why the heck is Sarah Palin still getting media coverage, period?! GO AWAY! Oh, the agony! She's apparently been on NBC, CNN, etc. Post-election coverage is meant to glorify Winners, not losers. Is her presence supposed to mean something, like keeping her around somehow placates the Repub viewers still licking their wounds who somehow feel the need to see her as some form of grieving solace?!?! I ate it for 8 years waiting out her kind, and now, its time to GO. Slink back to Alaska, Caribou Barbie, please. I totally blame you for my migraines...

Seduction, Beauty & Politics / The "Caribou Barbie" Haiku
SEDUCTION, BEAUTY, & POLITICS:
I'm all about poetry. But, I must say that in addition to this election lacking any sort of formidable debate or rhetoric thus far, it has also lacked beauty. Yes, I said beauty. I'm speaking about the psychology of what I term "Seduction Politics". Its my little pet concept, nothing to google.
I'm speaking about the art of highly educated, uber-entrenched candidates, seeking to engage in impressive "job interview"-like speeches morphed with charismatic, seductive charm in which they subtly woo an American electorate. An electorate they wish to serve and look after, sincerely. I'm thinking: ala JFK, RFK, Clinton, and even Carter. (My love of politics and history has convinced me that the concept does exist, but seems embodied in only a select few.)
But this year, I don't see much seduction! Instead, we've got what we've got. I do recognize and salute Obama, and I believe he's of the "seductive" variety. But, I wonder: where's his passion and righteous anger over the state of our country? His speech earlier this year at the Berlin Wall was electric! It was an incredible glimpse of his statesmanship that we aren't seeing enough of. That "rock star", saucy charisma needs to penetrate his veneer again, and much more before November.
So ends my seduction-inspired political rant. Now, to end todays post, I'm all about focusing my frustrations this day on "John McEvil" and "Caribou Barbie". Why? Among other reasons because they'd rather "game-play" and grandstand instead of "romance". They are users who want something for nothing. They don't want to love or serve America.
If there were ever a time America needed hope and inspirational rhetoric out of candidates, its now. Instead, we've got the below:
----------------------------
THE "CARIBOU BARBIE" HAIKU:
No, its not an ode to Palin. It couldve been one to Obama -- and, in the coming weeks, one will likely be written in honor of him. Sometimes, works are made to riddicule rather than honor. Hence, my wreck of a "Caribou Barbie" haiku.
In light of the fact that all McCain seems to want to do is rape, pillage, and patronize America, I let out a nauseated sigh. And, he's trying to engineer it all with his partner in crime, "Caribou Barbie" Palin!!!
So, in disgust and rebellion, I offer an embarrassingly awful haiku in response. (And, I dedicate the haiku to a cool someone named Paul.):::
"Caribou Barbie - she was once just for Alaska;
Then, McShame, he went insane!
Via osmosis, a policy expert be?
On tv, if she falls in debate, will they hear the thud all the way up in NYC????"
(*Eewww....Oh, that stunk....!)

No, I'm not fooled: I stick to my 'Palin' analy
Some of my fellow political peeps are saying that us Obama-Biden faithful are falling into a Republican "trap" if we make the mistake of underestimating Palin, thinking her stupid.
Well, I don't underestimate her in that her ability to be nasty (combined with the nastiness of the Repub machine behind her) has the ability to exert plenty of damage. So, I take her "seriously" on that. But, the ability to be politically powerful and intelligent/sane at the same time isn't a given.
I'll never accept that she's a political or personal brainiac -- I refuse to believe she's "playing dumb" to curry sympathy or project an image as strategy. With her neanderthal points of view on everything from women's rights to religion, there's no way she's smart on the "down low". Without her "Republican" affiliation and the manipulators behind her, she couldn't think or speak her way out of a wet paper bag on the world stage.
So, no, I don't take her seriously -- still. I do, however, take the cronies behind her seriously, though.
