The fog seems to have lifted and I no longer feel murderous. This can be attributed to several things that happened yesterday:
- I read on Daily Kos that Kay Hagan is now leading Elizabeth Dole in the North Carolina senate race. Keep hope alive! I then got in the game of commenting on DKos. Having a mom who’s hated Elizabeth Dole since she was at Duke gains me a little traction.
- I managed to make a joke in the comments on 538. Not that I advocate subverting important discussions about web polls of whom the 538 readership believes is currently the third most likely person to become president (Obama and McCain weren’t allowed as choices); I simply subvert these important discussions by asking why not me? I added that I could have two teenage daughters pregnant for the 2012 race. Take that, Sarah Palin.
- I got out of my house and actually went over to the Travis County Democratic HQ. Guess what? We still have Texas House races to win and a senate contest and maybe a couple of guys running for Congress. Who knew?
- I followed the McCain speech live blogs on a couple of sites and then watched the post-game show. I have to share this video, because it’s too good (hat tip to Balloon Juice–the best place to find people who are more outraged than I am–go there now–stop reading my crappy blog!). Watch someone actually say the truth on TV! On CNN of all places! Watch this, please:
- And then came the game changer. Drumroll please. Judy Warner expressed feminist angst for all. And I had to call bullshit! Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty, I’m free at last. Judy, you cannot have my feminist rage. It’s mine, I tell you, all mine!
Not that anyone cared how I cured myself of Palinmania. But in case you’re trying to get over it, well, get over it.
