ignoring the chance that I'm going to piss off Matsu Valley kids again
Dear Gov. Palin, Amidst singing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" this week, I thought I might share with you some advice. 1) If you can't hack media scrutiny, then you shouldn't be a politician. Seriously, lady. What did you expect? The media is hard on everyone in the public sector. Especially those who run for high office. It's called "vetting." 2) Quit attracting undue attention to your kids. It's not the media that's doing it. It's you. When you claimed that you were qualified to be VP because you are a mother, then you immediately begged the question, "Well, what kind of a mother has she been?" And to be clear, this was your main argument. This was not someone saying that they could sympathize with other parents across the country because you were a parent as well. You were saying you wanted to be the country's mommy. Furthermore, how are you to relate to and/or lead the teeming masses of godless, childless, snubbed nosed people across this nation like myself? Also, when you were being made fun of last week for signing an email "From Trig's Creator, Your Lord and Savior", the media did not make fun of Trig. They have better ethics than that. They were making fun of you for having a god complex. And the heartless liberal media was not the group really going after you for not telling Bristol that if you have sex without a condom, you will get pregnant (not to mention the likelihood of getting a STD). It was you and FOX that kept talking about it when I couldn't remember anyone really going after any of your children in depth. 3) Give it all back. The per diam money. The free house. The embezzled money you used to send your daughter to a snow mobile competition. Everything. Apologize to your former brother in law because it's not his fault that his marriage fell apart with your sister. It is also not his fault that while trying to address the alcohol problem in AK that he inevitably had to also deal with the issues linked to alcohol in AK such as abuse, homicide, suicide and drug abuse. 4) Actually, apologize to everyone. To Wasilla for building that dumb rec center when they really could have used an update on their sewage and water treatment systems. To Alaska for gutting the Permanent Fund. To your family for hiding your pregnancy from them knowing that your children would be responsible for most of Trigs care. To John McCain for tanking his campaign and refusing to stay on message. To Obama for all of the accusations you flung his way. All of them. To the RNC for all that money of theirs you spent on clothing. To the media for everything you've said about them when it was your tactic that backfired. To wolves for not understanding basic ecology. To the Alaska Geological Survey and the USGS for never ever ever reading an actual report on ANWR. To the University of Alaska system for gutting their budget, too. To your family, again, for putting them in a spotlight they never wanted. To Ted Stevens for being a hypocrite. To intelligent individuals everywhere for denouncing them when you couldn't pull the wool over their eyes. 5) Quit saying that you're not going to do "politics as usual." Because if anyone does, it's you. You mud-slinging, evasive, bribe taking, hand biting, power mongering bitch. Really, what did you expect. No one to investigate your money laundering. No one to question your statements? I must say that I'm glad that you're out of politics. Stay out if you really know what's best for your family. Because, after all, it's never been the media, it's always been you. Sincerely, A concerned American citizen | | 5:09 pm |

short updates
1) ATTN: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) flightviolation & phoenixsinkingFriday? 2) been helping my mother with cleaning up her house. really gross. but worth $15/hr to her. 3) dropped my phone in a pot of soapy water. will need to re-update phone list again. but I saved all the emails. 4) really need someone to teach me FileMakerPro. so that I can get on this thing for my cousin. also need a better free download site for Microsoft Excel... keep trying to download it, but is not working. 5) Iris is sick. hoping she just needs a new battery and not a new alternator. 6) working at the symphony for the moment. want tickets? is really good season. "Ode to Common Things" anyone? 7) new favorite TX places: DISH, TX (yes, all caps) where the people get free DVR service from DISH Network for a decade for naming their town after the company. and Loving County where some libertarians falsified documents to try to claim large portions of land, take over the county and make laws allowing "victimless crimes" including cannibalism, incest and trafficking (not limited to drugs, they wanted to traffic people too). 8) it's hot. | | Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 | | 3:40 pm |

don't touch it. don't touch it. no, don't touch it. DON'T TOUCH IT! | | Saturday, June 27th, 2009 | | 10:01 pm |
Dear nice people of Laredo, Not every subdivision in your town (or county, as the case may be) counts as an unincorperated area. For the purposes of the list I'm making, I have to count unincorperated areas because there's at least one county seat that is. So don't add your apartment complex to the list, take it off, or make it an actual town. You bastards, List Maker | | Friday, June 26th, 2009 | | 3:39 am |
seriously. seriously.
okay. Thriller was my first album. don't believe me? in 1988 (yes, not the release date) my mother bought three copies of it for my brothers and me. why that particular album? I haven't a goddamned clue, but I loved it anyhow. why three? because she was trying to avoid certain battles between myself and my older brother. we also owned a copy of the movie Moonwalker (watched it a lot as kids... profound Michael Jackson fans until well after Dangerous came out) and the music video (which I spent much time earlier today trying to explain to people who hadn't seen the movie... "I taught him all he knows!") for "Smooth Criminal" is still a favorite. but still, for me to not be able to get any information on anything else going on in the world. are you fucking kidding me?! I mean, it seems like a lot of these tribute shows were ready to go. like everyone knew. you couldn't wait until Sunday and act like you didn't know and keep reporting on what else was going on in the world, if not the country. what the fuck?! | | Thursday, June 25th, 2009 | | 12:04 am |

a couple more facts
things that happened yesterday: a suicide truck bombing yesterday in Taza, Iraq wounded 211 people, killed 80 and destroyed 50 buildings. the town is mostly populated by Shiite ethnic Turkmen. during an attack on Bagram air field in Afghanistan, two NATO soldiers were killed and six others wounded. the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. how quickly did we forget? | | Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | | 7:17 pm |
ever have a fantasy about Clark Kent? or being Clark Kent? | | Friday, June 12th, 2009 | | 8:27 pm |
bragging about my fabulous friends
I like bringing smart people from different communities together. so, if you're in New York and you have nothing to do next Thursday (or want a good excuse to procrastinate what you really should be doing) you should head out to this show. I wish I had a youtube link to their staff concert fiasco, but, sadly, this has yet to be posted. suffice to say that Samantha X severed two of Sick's fingers in their "performance" (aka security breech). however, she is a trained healer and got them to regenerate within three days. and for everyone else: check out http://www.chinaonthemove.netKFF's own Mike "Dirty Feet" Melanson received the honor of being the first featured journalist on the trip. you can find out more about the project there. | | 7:54 pm |
I made myself some cut-offs today. yes. and watched a bunch of West Wing episodes. yes. and looked up cute folk boys on the interwebs. uh huh. and all of this prevented me from doing a KFF09 update for you fine folks. it only takes one night of sleeping in a real bed for the smell of camp fire to become incredibly apparent on all of my clothes and linens. taken care of. what's not? I lost my phone before going out there. so if you all could bc me your numbers, I'd greatly appreciate it. | | Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 | | 6:35 pm |
back from KFF09. more on that later. did laundry all day and now will take a shower before continuing the festivities at Cafe Mundi this evening. | | Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | | 10:21 am |
