Sarah Palin, Harbinger Of The Apocalypse

As someone who has sat back and watched US Federal politics for a long time, and as someone who has prayed for the change I had hoped Barack Obama would bring, I am now officially putting my hopes for a better world in the freezer for the next few years.

Why? For two reasons:

1) As one analyst after another on the tube today is saying-but-not-saying, White Woman trumps Black Man. Those Americans who simply can't stomach the notion of a black guy in the White House can make themselves feel better by voting for a white woman.

Of course, these are the same people who would have justified voting for a McCain/Mitt Romney ticket, or McCain/Pawlenty, or McCain/Sock Puppet for that matter. But because it's a woman, everyone can act like they're all progressive an' shit.

Trust me, no one with the Republican Party is going to bitch about Palin's lack of experience... a little under two years as a Governor. Sure, they bitched about Obama's "lack of experience," but of course he's playing for the wrong team.

If/when elected, Sarah Palin will be the least politically-experienced VP since Spiro Agnew.

(There's a line the Dems should play up. Just like Bush kept bashing away with "evildoers," "Spiro Agnew" should be the soundbite du jour. But do they have the imagination for it?)

...But I'm sure Sarah Palin has the naked ambition and pure inflexibility required to be a Republican Vice President. That, and a willingness to torture foreigners in order to save fetuses, or however the logic goes.

2) The Heavens Themselves have already declared Shenanigans on this upcoming election.

Or rather, The Heavens, via Diebold.

Ann Coulter: Born To Suck

Some self-destructive people drink themselves to death, or cut themselves, or binge out on drugs. Me? Every once in a while I read Ann Coulter. It did my heart good to read her February 28th column, though. No, I'm not going to link to it, because I don't want to contribute to her hit count in any way. Here's the quote:

"There are more reputable scientists defending astrology than defending 'global warming,' but liberals simply announce that the debate has been resolved in their favor and demand that we shut down all production."

Global Warming isn't my field of expertise, but I certainly understand it well enough to know we are in trouble. Don't "believe" in Global Warming? Look it up for yourself. But, Astrology? That's MY ballpark, baby.

Ann Coulter (Born December 8, 1961, time unknown, New York, New York) has a Sun-Mercury-Mars conjunction in Sagittarius, all squared by Pluto... with Pluto squaring Mercury within two degrees. This as any astrologer can tell you, makes Ann a raving bitch.

Don't believe in Astrology? Again, look it up for yourself. Here's what astrologyweekly.com says:

Mercury Square Pluto:

"The square can give you a harshness of temperament and expression, where your direct, blunt style can often create conflict and confrontation between yourself and others. Even though you prefer to reflect yourself as one capable of handling the 'real situation', you tend to lack a sensitivity towards possible reactions to your potentially penetrating insights. You rarely 'wrap' them up in socially acceptable packages for consumption, but offer them raw. "

Sun Square Pluto:

"The Pluto tendencies of ambition, force, power, domination, aggression, and extremism can also stimulate similar tendencies in an assertive Sun, and will exist as motivating and compulsive factors in your character."

...And Mars Square Pluto? Don't get me started.

Ah, the simple pleasures of reasoned political debate...
