Palin vs McCain

I have to give it to the Republican strategists for knowing their market well.

At a glance it seems that McCain has little in common with Palin.  Other than our gender, I have almost nothing in common with Palin.

But The Hockey Mom has a lot in common with the rest of America.  Except that she actually has a passport; which makes her qualified to deal with Sudan, China, Russia, and the Middle East lot.

Uhm, America is the only super power in the world right now anyway, so why not put a pitbull with lipstick in the arena.  She can always learn the ropes in between her hunting trips and her other “conservative-family” activities.

Funny, I considered mine a conservative family with a liberal bent (what’s life without balance!).  These days, however, I don’t know anymore what constitutes “conservative.”

Rottweilers should be banned

At the very least they belong to zoos, like tigers, lions, and other wild animals.

Rottweiler owners are supposed to train them because by default, they’re vicious creatures.  This propensity coupled with their size and strength make them formidable beasts once they lose control.

Many owners don’t understand this, so letting them own Rottweilers is akin to letting any ignorant Tom, Dick, and Jane own guns.  Or worse.

My 5-year old was recently attacked by two Rottweilers.  In defending her, I ended up with most of the bites.  It felt like I was being eaten alive.

Thank goodness my hubby was there to save us.  I knew he would’ve been the one crazy enough to jump in to rescue us.  I don’t think I would’ve physically lasted another minute because they would’ve gotten my artery by then.  And I consider myself strong.

My daughter’s injuries hit her skull.  Luckily x-ray showed that there was no fracture.  My arm was torn all the way to the bone, and I got stitches on my head, back, hand, and arm.  We both ended up needing general anesthesia.

We’re fine now, just working on my daughter’s trauma.

Gotta love Bali

We spent almost three weeks in Bali this summer, most of the time staying at Grace’s Villa.  I must say, it was great.  The owner has all the local insight so we were able to get local price on lots of things.  The weather was perfect, and all six of us (parents-in-law joined us there) didn’t want to leave the place.

My son even asked that I arranged with the other moms so that two of his best friends can come with him next year.

Son, your naivete is adorable.  Unlike our airfare, it’s priceless!

Will vote according to who’s running

I seriously can’t understand how anyone can be a devout Republican or a Democrat (or any party, really).  I’m talking about those who will vote for their party’s candidate regardless of who’s running that time.

Can anyone help me understand?
