I was perusing Al Gores' latest invention the "World Wide Web", and I came across an article about Sarah Palins' hand. I'm not joking there are numerous problems affecting our nation today, and the most pressing matter in some areas of government was where Sarah Palin writes reminders. Some people use Crackberries, some people use Post-Its, and others use their hands. For me it all depends on what's available, I have my iPhone (evil capitalist Apple company sucked me in), I have a small notepad, and the one thing that is always with me? MY HAND! If all else fails, I have my awesome hand. They are useful for many things. Waving at the police officer after he pulls me over, shaking hands with people I've just met, shoving food in my mouth at an alarming rate, and taking notes. The good thing about them is that unless I'm involved in some freak industrial accident, they'll always be there. I can't misplace them, the battery can't die, and they can't lose their stickiness because it got fuzz on the strip.
I got slightly off topic for a minute, SORRY, allow me to digress. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs criticized Mrs. Palin for using her hand for notes, citing that someone who so heavily commented on President Obamas' use of the teleprompter has no business using notes. If I'm not mistaken the former governor gives most if not all of her speeches WITHOUT NOTES, period. This is a radical departure from our President who cannot function without said speech making device. If in fact she decided that there was something so vital that she wanted to get it perfect, who are you to criticize her method?
He accidently showed the interviewer the shopping list that he so "slyly" wrote on his hand. The list was Milk, Bread Eggs, Hope, and Change. I can only assume that the first three were things that his wife told him to pick up after leaving work for the day. This is no big deal as we've all had to go pick something up from the store. As I stated before, maybe he ran out of Post-Its, maybe his Crackberry battery died, who am I to judge when his hand was obviously the only thing available? The part of the list that got me though was the Hope and Change.
Isn't that what America voted for in 2008? Didn't that already come to the White House? Why would you have to go shopping for it? Is it something that he feels he isn't getting in his current position and needs to look elsewhere, or did his wife tell him to pick those up at the store as well? Hope that you get home on time for once or you lose your TV privileges for a week. Change your attitude Mister or I'll be forced to take away your X-Box for the month. What was he thinking? The American public currently has very little Hope that anything will Change in Washington. That is other than the amount of money thrown away on national parks on the island of St. Croix, and other projects that do absolutely nothing to stimulate are rapidly shrinking economy and job market. BLAH!!!
If there was some sort of political point to be made, I think that Mrs. Palin actually got the better point across without even trying to. She managed to make Liberals point out, that Liberals are raging idiots that spend too much time worrying about how she remembers things (if she had used a string around her finger she would have been criticized for poor fashion accessories), and not enough time worrying about things that the American public want taken care of . We don't want to hear campaign slogans again (I've never liked them), we want to see results from you. We want results on things like unemployment, a soaring deficit, steroids in baseball, and most importantly whether or not Trumps' comb-over should be outlawed in the 48 contiguous states (Hawaii and Alaska already have laws in the works).
Until next time please ponder one of the questions that helps me guide my life.
"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?"
