Tango and Cash, Part Deux

Had to rush this to press because the likelihood of video being up for more than 24 hours is slim. More clips and a somber post on why I didn’t much feel like fucking with Sarah Palin today to come some other hour. Two and a half hour Red Cross volunteer sign up process might [...]

By Truth and Toil

A classmate of mine from the Exclusive Upper East Side Girls School I attended for twelve fun-filled years was an early responder to the Palin emergency. C. was the first to sound the national alarm in my inbox on August 29th*. She’s a lawyer with Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund. When I read the email, [...]

Another Tasty Morsel

Here’s another clip that really helped me make it through the day. I actually saw this on TV last night. Was recording Obama on Letterman (the un-McAngryPants–will try to post a clip for those of you who wake up and get on the treadmill at 5:30 am, thus missing the world of late night TV. [...]

Late Night Goodies

I’m going to put up a few quick posts with links to YouTube clips or other people’s blogs. I’ve been meaning to do this all week, but for some reason, acting like a real blogger is difficult for me. Doing it means that I’m working on this thing not just for myself but for some [...]

WWSPD

Just got off the phone with my brother-in-law. The director, not the rapper. He’s always been the family outlier when it comes to politics (recently found notes from 1992 that describe his distrust of Clinton). He’s basically a Howard Stern Democrat (an under-appreciated demographic if ever there was one). Last month in Montana, we had [...]

This was also bound to come up

A, an old PG friend from back in Houston, brings up an important point in a comment on You Knew This Was Coming:
Not that this has anything to do with your post, but should Palin and McCain hug like they do? I think it’s a little weird.
A little weird? Well, I’d agree with A, except [...]

Thank you, Sarah Palin

Whenever I’m having a difficult time, I do my best to make a gratitude list. It’s one of those things you  learn to do after going to 7,000 meetings (exaggeration). I’m going to try to put the list on PG from time to time, in the spirit of sharing my experience, strength, and hope.
Just for [...]

You Knew This Was Coming

Anyone who’s ever watched a soap knew that the rich thin bitch wife was going to become a problem. How could she not?
Apparently, The New York Times used to watch too.
(Hey, don’t you think Cindy would have had more fashion sense than to go for a fucking hot pink cast? It looks OK in a [...]

I Used to Skip School to Watch Soaps

Seriously. It was a major problem. Perhaps my first addiction. My mom used to say that I should become a soap opera writer. (She was probably right.)
Is there anyone out there who could have predicted how completely great from the batshit crazy plotline perspective that all of this was going to be? I mean, people [...]

Palinmania–the Antidote

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 [...]
