Palin’ in Comparison

Hah!  See what a I did there, just like almost everyone else?  Some randomness on the debate that Biden won . . .

1) When you choose a VP lingo bingo card to use as a drinking game instead of using it for its intended bingo purposes, please be sure to choose one that does not have the word “taxes” on it.  Because we were far away from a liquor store, IP and I did beer shots instead.  Good thing, too.  I went through three beers in 1.5 hours; IP went through nearly five.  IP noted that, had we used liquor, “we’d be dead by now.”  Agreed.

2) I apparently do one mean Sarah Palin imitation.  I terrorized IP with it all night until he asked me to please stop.  But not before I sexually harassed him with my Palin voice going full force.

3) Should McCain-Palin win, the proud tradition of mispronouncing the word “nuclear” would carry on in the White House.  I am at heart a word nerd: I think I would flee to Mexico not only because my civil rights would face destruction after a McCain-Palin inauguration, but also because my sensibilities would not be able to diagram Palin’s sentences for the next four, eight, 12, or 16 years (please, Flying Spaghetti Monster, no!).

4) Apparently, making observations about the past is not the way to bring about change.  Because you can totally argue for change without context, right?  Right?  Are those crickets I hear?

5) The word “maverick” is one of the most incorrectly and overused terms of the Republican ticket.  Also, if I hear that being a hockey mom is a qualification for being vice president one more time, I assume that I’ll be named to a ticket sometime in the future when my kids are kicking ass on the ice.  Should one of them make the NHL, does that entitle me to become Supreme Commander of the Entire World?  I hope so!

Bring on the next presidential debate.  Are IP and I brave enough to tackle our drinking game with liquor and choose the card that has the word “maverick” on it?  Stay tuned!
