I think pigs are pretty. So, if you put lipstick on one, um even better. Miss Piggy was a total dame.

Segueing, I find the whole Sarah Palin frenzy very interesting. Actually, I find Sarah Palin very interesting. In fact, I down right like her. Does her VP potential sway me enough to vote for John McCain? Absolutely not, but I still like her. She seems like a great person. Could she be an awesome President? I don't know. Similarly, I don't know that Obama can be an awesome President. After all, his presidency is built upon a platform of "hope." Yes, I too hope he's all that everyone makes him out to be. However, like Sarah, I think Obama is a great person and since his campaign is more in line with my ideals than McCain's, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and my vote. We'll see how it goes, I mean he couldn't possibly make things worse, could he? I hope not.

Obama's supporters are in a very interesting position though and, via what I see and hear from them, I'm very disenchanted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, didn't both Obama and his dutiful supporters have a "we're only going to do positive campaigning, no room for dirty politics here!" attitude and political ethic? Since Palin has been brought into the ring, it's very much the opposite.

Obama supporters are largely hypocritical, and at times, downright nasty. A Facebook status is seemingly the perfect place for Obama supporters to communicate their political beliefs. I've read things like "Did McCain seriously vet that bitch" or "Sarah Palin is a slutbag whore!" and, my favorite, "Obama is godlike."

Obama is not godlike. He's a politician. Not God. Ooh, also, Obamapaths are also REALLY interested in Palin's teenage daughter who is, gasp, pregnant!

C'mon. You can do better than trying to push "Palin could never be VP with a pregnant teenage daughter!" act. It's absurd and irrelevant. You just wait, before you know it Obama's daughters will be on Maury awaiting a lie detector/DNA test. It's all a matter of time--give it 5 years.

Just F'ing vote for who you want to be President and leave your garbage in the trash. Better yet, recycle it.
