Political Dashboard

2008 Presidential Election on Yahoo! News: A prognostication... It's rather interesting to just go through the map, thinking about it all, taking it all in...

Seven days left and then we'll all be able to put this year and a half to rest.

Thank God.

Sarah Palin = Maleficent

Earlier, my friend Mike posted a tweet with the following question: "What if Disney did a movie about Sarah Palin?"

At first, I'd though, "Oh, they had, Snow White!" Then, as I was in the shower (naturally, because these things always happen in the shower), I was thinking, "No, not quite, there's someone better." And then she hit me.

Maleficent wasn't quite so known but in her little corner of the realm because that's how she's seen it fit for all this time, but then makes a stunning appearance during a major focus of the realm's attention. She's certainly got the attention of a good deal of homosexual males because "there's just something about her." All of a sudden, everyone starts talking about her for what she says during that major event, and it's her name everyone talks about. Her name is on everyone's lips, and it's her, and then this other one-eyed, old crow.

Her goblin legions do her work while she's concentrating on her work, but as time goes on, Maleficent shows even more character to where the old crow eventually abandons her too after his usefulness has withered (we never do see Diablo after he's done his work, do we?), and close to the end of everything, she turns into a heaving, fearsome dragon in a last-ditch effort to save all she's worked for.

Sarah Palin is Maleficent.

Thoughts?

2008 Vice-Presidential Candidate Debate Thoughts


I caught it a little late because my computer was defragmenting, but when I did, I was glad I stayed to watch it. It's the first thing I watched as a person newly without cable!
I liked this one better than the Presidential Candidate debate #1 because they actually interacted. They weren't (completely) hostile, though Sarah Palin sounded scripted. Glad to see she doesn't change very much, eh?


The only thing about Joe Biden is that he kept pronouncing things really... interestingly. On pronunciations, Sarah Palin says "nucular" instead of "nuclear."


I liked that they were rather light-hearted. They both smiled, and took strides with it. There were a few jabs, and even a low blow that had me going "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" out loud, but it was good.


During the debate I was drawing Sarah Palin's U.S. flag pin because I liked the design. I'm a horrible artist, but it gave me a chance to test out my new (and by new I mean second-hand) graphics tablet. I like it so far. Hopefully I can develop another side of my creativity.


So, there's my horrible artwork up above! Toodles!
