She won't shut up and I understand that she's taking advantage of an the media attention to further her own current and future agendas but really. I don't care that you serve the press moose chili or pimp your no-front-teeth-having daughter out to the media and talk about special needs children when you cut funding for special needs children in your own state. Even the other republican governors are sick of her now.

The only thing I agree with her on is that these anonymous, McCain advisors calling her names are cowards. Because honestly, If she really isn't smarter then a Fifth grader shouldn't that have come up during the Vice Presidental candidate screening process? They picked her because she's a woman and they wanted some of that Hillary supporter action not realizing that Hillary supporters wanted Hillary not just any woman. So when that didn't work for them they started trying to through her under the bus which seems to be the GOP's MO of the last few years.

In the recent CNN interview she did with Wolf Blitzer she did say she wouldn't be appointing herself to the senate(Thank you big baby jesus), but that she would help if called upon by the president-elect (Like that will ever happen). It still went the same way as the Katie Couric interview with the weaving and bobbing on questions. I just wish she'd go away or Rahm Emanuel would club her with a dead salmon or something.

I have met the man of my dreams. He is a thing of beauty to behold whether it be standing still or displaying his fiery intellect. My one true love has a name and it isn't Barack Obama; It's our new Joint Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

This is a man who stands in from of congressional hearings and reads love letters from Republicans to big oil corporation, a man who has mailed a dead fish to a political foe. It's that kind of badassness that makes me want to have his babies if he wasn't already married with children.

I don't know what to do with this new love I feel. I've never had romantic feelings about a politician before. Obama has always struck me as that cool dude who'd make an awesome best friend/partner in crime that would totally get your inner wacky. But Rahm *sigh* here is a man who is HOT and SMART. Usually the intellectual part of me and the shallow part of me have only been in agreement on a few men who are attractive, smart and have killer queen like wit, Henry Rollins and Anthony Bourdain are the two that come to mind.

Here is the love letter that stole my heart:

Here's why. GM is almost broke and Ford isn't that far behind. You and I both know at some point they're going to be asking for government hand outs as part of the bailout plan ala Chyrsler in the 80's. And I say that if the government gives them money it should be under some conditions. One of those conditions being they have to create jobs in America. Most of these companies took a huge amount of their production overseas which resulted in job loss. I say if they want to ask the government for money then they need to give us something other then big automobiles with low gas milage a gallon, like jobs that can curb the unemployment problem.

Because honestly have you heard anything about these companies asking for money from the countries they opened factories in when they closed the ones in the US?

This morning I feel like I had the best sex of my life I'm so orgasmically happy. Why you ask? Obama is president !!!

I remember the first time I saw him On "Meet the Press" long before he announced he was going to run for president and being clued to the television set and just thinking, WOW. I'd just spent almost 8 years shivering at the new and interesting ways that Dubya butchered the english language and here was a man intelligent & articulate talking about things that mattered in a way I could understand and it just blew me away.

Finally, I have a president that can be as into as I am Led Zeppelin, Sinatra and my favorite fandoms. The fact that internationally he has huge fan-base is pretty cool too. Apparently, the Irish are claiming him as their own since his great-great-great grandfather immigrated from there to the U.S. It's so neat how so many different people find something in him that they can relate to.

His speech last night was moving and beautiful and it gave a realistic vision of the future that is possible with hard work. That he made an effort to speak to the people who didn't vote for him wanting to be "their president" also was just pure class to me. I love the fact that Obama ran a dignified campaign and never made outrageous promises that everyone knows can't be kept the moment they are spoken. That his plans aren't set in stone because he recognizes that new information is always coming in and accounts for it is the mark of a smart man. Politics has never made me this happy and excited.
