I Heart Sarah Palin

I dont want to get into lots of politics here, because there is a lot of randomness to cover - but holy shit, I fuckin love Sarah Palin. Just wanted to get that out there.......ok done - for today.

I have been a busy girl and have no time to write, but I was sure on my travels to make lots of notes on my Blackberry so I wouldnt miss a thing. I just dont really know where to begin.......so alphabetically? chronologically? autobiographically? (many awesome individuals will catch that not so subtle movie reference) Let's dive right in.

BOK Center Guests - Sorry to begin with a local Tulsa subject, but I choose to go straight down the list. So - a quick, biased background. The BOK Center is the brand new arena that the poor taxpayers of Tulsa are paying for instead of you know....maybe fixing the streets...im just sayin...So, the big campaign push was that it would revive downtown by attracting young professionals to hang out and exciting acts to play. This last winter the first guest was announced....Celine Dion. Well, if Celine Dion isnt going to attract the young professionals - I dont know who will. Many "exciting" announcements have followed The Eagles - TWICE, Janet Jackson, The 2009 Gymnastics Superstars, Celtic Thunder and lets not forget The World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions - WTF are they? (OK, ok the American Idol Tour did stop by last night but fuck that because I didnt have tickets) So - Mayor Taylor, let me personally thank you for attracting me - a young professional - to all this highly exciting events.

If you know me well, you know I live for talk radio. Anytime a host takes a caller from Burlington, VT , I know I will be annoyed at what the tree hugger has to say.

So, today I was on my way to this lovely Hampton Inn I am currently blessing you with my blog from and I saw that from a far the "Amber Alert" electronic sign had something on it to read. I need glasses reallllllly bad and couldnt see what it says until I was super close and to my surprise it said "Welcome Hurricane Ike Evacuees!!" Shit. Like it was welcoming a pope, a president or a pop star. Yeah, welcome evacuees - glad your hear - glad your homes might not be there when you go back - glad your neighbors might be killed - glad all the food in your kitchen will be rotting. Seriously? Why would you put that up there?

The Biden smile - whether you are a Dem or not - do you not have to roll your eyes whenever Joe Biden smiles and that little glimmery sparkle shoots off his teeth like he is a fucking cartoon character. That fake, smarmy smile just screams "everyday guy"......right?

Murals on trucks? Really? I mean really? WTF is up with these. Growing up in San Diego I was surrounded by them being so close to Mexico. And no, Im not racist (I can see the accusations now). But have you EVER seen a mural on a truck that was owned by someone that was not of latin decent? I need to talk to my resident Hispanic expert Bernie at work about this. Is this something that is taught while growing up? You learn how to make tamales (and damn am I glad), how to talk really fast and how to paint murals on trucks.

I read the funniest quote on a Starbucks cup today and as a mother of a young child it made it even funnier - "When I was young, I was mislead by flashcards into believing that xylophones and zebras were much more common." Fucking brilliant.

Ill end this where it began - I heart Sarah Palin even more - I just watched an hour special on her. And sigh.....to be fair, I am now watching a special on Biden (and to rest an uneasiness some of you may have about my Biden smile note, he has had that glimmer since the 80's - so he isnt JUST doing it to look pretty next to Obama)

I will leave you with this......
