I have absolutely no problem with someone who is opposed to abortion having doubts about being able to raise a child with special needs -- or basically being worried, in any case.
This. I really don't think anyone can know how difficult it will be to raise a special needs child until they're actually in the thick of it. I certainly don't hold the uncertainty as a moral failing on Palin's part. If anything, the fact that she had doubts and was willing to cop to them is a positive sign compared to the sort of "The Lord will see to it that everything works out well! La la la la la!" approach I see from too many neocons.
I do think she's an awful choice as a VP candidate, but this particular issue isn't one of the reasons.
Hee. I wondered but I remembered that Chloe is the one who likes to play dress-up.
Or! In a meta twist, dress your dog as....a dog: [link].
One year I attached the barrel from a barrel of monkeys to Lucy's collar (though sadly, my attempt to fill it with brandy was an abject failure). She was a St. Bernard.
Steph's buying clothes for dogs, I'm contemplating a third cat. THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN.
Wasps are such uncomplicated creatures. Eat it, hump it or sting it, and then eat it or hump it.
You know, if you said that about ANY OTHER ETHNICITY... but
noooo
MY people are fair game.
Chloe the dalmatian is the one who loves to walk under the drapes and then stand there, and if we throw sheets over her, she'll prance around like she's the fanciest thing ever: [link], but she will also wear Tim's shirt: [link].
So you'll be dressing her as a doggy hooker?
sigh. Code Pink people at McCain's speech.
The most bizarre movie is on and hopefully being taped.
Evenings at the Hamlet Next to Dikanka"--
it's a Russian musical of an old folk tale, with what are apparently big Russian pop stars. It's quite surreal and cute.
A group protesting the war. Mostly women, and they wear pink to all their protests.
Code Pink: [link] Warning: their website is very very pink. May cause eye damage.
how did they get in? I was pretty sure that "several or more middle aged women in pink" would be treason on the convention floor
