Right now, outside my house somewhere, there is a cat in heat, and it is making the most unnatural sounds ever. So, you all know what that means. There is a rather freaked out fat white cat (screw it, I give up. He is fat.) charging around my house knocking things over and generally going crazy.
In other news, ever singled damned channel I have turned to for news has had Sarah Palin on sharing her deep thoughts. Here she is with Wolf Blitzer:
BLITZER: Are you ready to help him?
PALIN: Absolutely. Especially on energy independence, energy security that we need for this nation, being the governor of an energy-producing state knowing that we have the domestic solutions there in our state and in other energy-producing states.
I’m more than willing and able to help President-elect Obama to start tapping into the domestic solutions that we have now so we can quit being so reliant on foreign sources of energy.
I guess it is pointless to note that she doesn’t know what the hell she is talking about regarding energy matters:
“Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.”
Let me be the first to say “Thanks, but no thanks.” I think we can muddle through without her “expertise.” At any rate, several of you have mentioned this in the comments already, but didn’t candidates for President and Vice President used to go away after they lost? In fact, isn’t that kind of the point of elections- we, as a nation, got together on 4 November, looked at McCain and Palin and said, rather emphatically, “No. Go away.”
I really don’t remember this happening before. The only time I saw Bob Dole after the 1996 election was selling Viagra. Al Gore apparently holed up in a cheesecake factory for two years and grew a beard. John Kerry, well, I don’t know what he did, but it was probably treasonous and French-like- maybe he went wind-surfing in the Mediterranean or something.
The point being, they went away. Why won’t she just go away? I am tired of hearing all these grating, irritating sounds. And I am not talking about just the cat in heat outside.
