Nice writing. Poor and deceptive logic, however.

[...] claim by the Republicans that Barack might actually be Osama Bin Laden? The latest take from Sarah Palin about what constitutes a real American? Some of what I could find was ridiculous, some of it [...]

Brilliant job! I was actually hating Pam. I’ve had guys in my school like that and perhaps a girl as well.

Great story. Reminded me of all the mean girls i knew back then. But that yellow jacket story takes the cake. Did you not try to steal it back?

From your Canadian friends, we’ve all got our fingers crossed for you on election night.

Love the Palin write up. Sincerity and Integrity are long missing from the entire Right wing campaign and she definetely has become the figure head for such.

Nice seeing you in AZ last week!

Hi Don, Appreciate your feedback. And thanks for the kudos on the writing.

As for Palin, you’re right — I _don’t_ know her personally, but I am (and everyone else is) being asked to elect her, to choose here, which is to say… to judge her.

And what do we rely on to do that? What she tells us, what others tell us, and–among other things–what associations our mind comes up with when we consider her as VP: Who does she remind us of? What feelings does she bring out in me? Do I identify with her? Do I identify her with someone else?

In short, we contrast and compare. That’s all that we can do with public figures, as opposed to people we know or can potentially get to know on a personal level.

So how is that unfair or mean? That’s how you treat the presidential candidates, too. So if you dislike Obama you’re necessarily racist? Or if you dislike McCaine you’re necessarily ageist?

Well-written, but I can’t agree with you at all. You don’t know Sarah Palin personally. It’s completely unfair to Palin, to identify her with someone you knew in grade school.

Your thinking is the same kind of prejudice that’s called racism, when directed at a black person you don’t personally know. Aren’t you a bigger, kinder person than this?
