Well when I started this new blog, I didn't realize the prophetic nature of the "New Start" concept. I have very recently become unemployed...this was in no way expected and I'm still a bit in shock. There was a time when I would have looked at this as a 6 month vacation (courtesy of unemployment insurance), but now with the economy the way it is...I'm a bit frightened. Between the price of food and gas and the uber competitive job market, it's gonna be a challenge....I need to decide if I want to stay in Kansas or if I want to get the hell out of Dodge (pun intended - No I don't really live in Dodge City, but it wouldn't have been nearly as funny....)

On to more important stuff.....

I have refrained from weighing in on the Sarah Palin debacle simply because I wanted to make sure my gut instincts were right and now I think it's safe to say they are.
The woman is a bit dense. Ambitious, yes...Calculating, yes...Cutthroat Bitch (in the House sort of way) probably. But I have the feeling that the idea of intellectualism is lost on her. On that note, why is it that Republicans hate smart people so much? Seriously, being an Intellectual should be lauded not derided. A President or Vice-President lacking in intellectual curiosity is not what our country needs. Look what that's done for us the last 7 years.....people need to quit voting like they are choosing the king of their favorite bar and elect a man or woman that has the intelligence to run our country.

And let me also say that any woman that would vote for Sarah Palin just because she is gynecologically similar should have their woman card pulled. I don't want rich white guys deciding what I do with my body and I sure as hell don't want some gun toting hockey mom doing it either.

Well football's on and this post is a rambling mess....so I think I'm gonna leave it for now....
