I just read that GOP supporters are not happy with Newsweek right now. Palin is on the cover, and they didn't retouch her photo to eliminate the little moustache she has going on.
Now, I'm not one to comment on a woman's facial hair (I've got enough of my own), but last night at B&N, I overheard a couple of female customers talking about the cover of one of the mags in front of my register and making comments about how they couldn't believe "she" let the magazine publish that photo, and how you could see her moustache and where she shaved her chin. I had no clue who they were talking about, but assumed it was some candid photo of Britney or some such celeb on Us or People. I'm quite surprised to find out now that it was Palin on Newsweek!

MAN! if you know you are going to be in the national press (and you care about such things) why would you not get your shit waxed???
TCB, people!!
(although if she doesn't care, whatever)
Yep, a year ago was the peak and the Dow has lost a third of its value since then.
Huh. My 401K's lost under 20% for the year. Guess I picked better funds than I'd thought.
This is a pretty neat anecdote about how people's lifelong opinions on race are being changed this year.
Heh. My iPod just randomly selected "Money" by the Flying Lizards. But soon I'll have to stop playing it, as the battery is almost dead....
Speaking of money, Iceland's currency has completely collapsed.

Yeah, it just came in my mail yesterday and it was like "WHOA!" Not just because of the obvious need for waxing, but just how seriously close up it was. Scary, man. Only someone like Isabella Rosellini should ever be photographed that close up.

Whether SHE cares or not is irrelevant. This is why there are image consultants. THEY are damned well aware she's going to be photographed from every angle and at every possible zoom level.
I mean, no one's caught a shot yet of Barack bumming a ciggie, have they?
if they do catch him bumming one, I bet it will be from a TERRORIST!!! DOM DOM DOMMMMMMMM!

"Just make sure you vote for that colored boy" may be among the most amazing statements I have ever heard. That's just incredible.

My father, who was raised in a very racist family/community, who spent my childhood saying appallingly racist comments that I refuse to repeat, who actually made me ashamed to be related to him from time to time -- he's voting for Obama. And not out of a lesser of 2 evils thing, either; as the years have gone on, he's spent a lot of energy in re-thinking his beliefs, questioning why he did believe them in the first place.
He's voted Republican a LOT in the past, but in the primaries this year he voted for Hillary (a vote that's almost as astonishing as his intent to vote for Obama, because my dad also used to be jaw-droppingly sexist), and he intends to vote for Obama simply because he believes him to be the better candidate, the candidate who will go real good for him (my dad) as well as the country. At this point, race isn't even an issue.
Still, even though I knew he voted for Hillary, I wasn't sure if he could get past his nasty old prejudices and vote for Obama, so when he told me he was going to vote for Obama, I was literally speechless. I told my brother, and he had the same reaction, finally asking, "...D-dad? OUR dad???"
Change. It's a-comin'.
