the preceding quote is from this evening's times in an article about the affection of "joe sixpack" for his girl sarah. it felt odd to read words that have dropped from my own lips being repeated by a palin-loving trucker. it took a woman with big hair and a small vocabulary to convince the conservative, blue-collar male that "a chick" could run this country. we have officially gone from electing a man "you'd want to have a beer with" to attempting to elect a woman you'd like to have... well... anyway... i don't think that this is progress.
don't forget to vote.
please.
