If you can't say something nice...
I normally bill myself as an Independent because I vote on the issues, not the party. Because of the things that matter to me, most of the time that means I vote Democrat; for this presidential election I'm definitely wearing donkey ears. I watched the Republican National Convention tonight to see what's being said in the other camp and to check out this Palin woman. Holy smokes - I have hives. Not kidding.
I'm determined to focus on the positive (or at least amusing) in this blog...let's see if I can stick to it in this top ten list.
1. Sarah Palin is a great public speaker. I'd love to have those nerves.
2. She has a nice looking family.
3. Her husband has done a number of hard jobs, she says. Many Americans can relate. Just look at the popularity of shows like "Dirty Jobs" or "Deadliest Catch".
4. The speechwriters did their jobs well. I give props where they're due.
5. The party is really, really good at spin.
6. Cindy McCain looks like an earlier model of my high school friend, Tara. I miss that girl.
7. The rhetoric was so over the top it might be too much for folks and they'll come on over to the Obama side.
8. I don't think the majority of Americans can see Palin just a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
9. Palin's daughter slicking down the baby's hair with her spit-upon hand was disgusting yet endearing.
10. I saw Abe Lincoln in the audience. Pinky swear, it looked just like him!
Whew. I made it.

Very lady like. I read in some pulp fiction years ago that ladies can say mean things as long as they say "allow me to say..." right before the zinger. I don't know if that's true, but I like the idea.
