As I was driving to the far-less-alarming ENT today for a follow up visit, I tuned in to my girl Joan Hamburg and heard her interview Kathleen Deveney from Newsweek. Deveney’s perspective on the importance of stopping the mommy wars really resonated with me. She articulated a it so much better than I did when I wrote ur doin it wrong last night.
I don’t care what her family situation is. And Rudy is right – how dare anyone question her ability to serve as Vice President because she’s a mom? When was the last time we questioned a man’s ability to lead the country because he’s a father? 1960 just called and it’s even more offended than I am.
Was Fred Thompson supposed to work the crowd into a frenzy? Granted, I am not a member of their base. But ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Maybe there’s a Law & Order rerun on A&E instead?
I will never forget the Republican convention twenty years ago. It was pre-Republican “revolution,” but it was just on the cusp of the religious zealots taking control of their party. The featured speakers that year were the Pats, Buchanan and Robertson. Talk about your pandering. Those ho-mo-sexshals sure were quite the formidable enemy to the Republicans back in the day. They somehow threatened the very fabric of our lives as a people those twenty years ago, all while a disturbing number of gay men were dropping dead of AIDS at an alarming rate.
The Pats did it for me.
I know they are all here. But I can’t figure out how to put them together.
Get dressed. Drive to office. Put key in door.
Now what? The five hundred emails?
I guess that’s where I’ll start. And I’ll fill you in on my email neuroses another time.
blah blah blah
