Boom Goes the Dynamite

Two hours on the phone today with unemployment to tell me nothing.  The bastards sent me a letter requiring me to do all of my new job contacts "in-person".  This is confusing because they also told me I have to start searching for work "outside of my geographical location".  This sounded strange to me, but, for some godforsaken reason, the monkeys down at unemployment couldn't explain the contradiction to me.  I guess this means I am now going to have to leave Seattle on a crazy cross-country roadtrip seeking work along the way.

Maybe that's not such a bad idea.  I'd like to take a trip.  I need to go down and see my Grandfater.  I could look for work in his town.  Though, I don't know if I'd ever actually take a job there.  His town is not exactly small, but it's filled with small-town people, if you get my drift.  If you don't, its because what I'm really trying to say is that his town is filled with ignorant redneck mouthbreathers who cling to their religion and guns.  Really.

Speaking of mouthbreathers, Sarah Palin's big VP debate/debut is tonight.  I thought of blugging during the debate, but I would have a hard time paying attention.  I'll probably mention something in passing later in the week.  What a tool that bitch is.  She's even more of an open sore on the Republican party that Dick Cheney is.  (There's a joke there about Dick and open sores, but I can't put it together right now.)

Sarah should do alright as long as she keeps her mouth shut and stays on topic.  Gwen Ifill is a pretty AWESOME lady (I was hoping she would take over Tim Russert's job.  She still might), and I hope she puts the screws to 'ol Sarah.  I'd love to see her get all "In what respect Charlie?" nasty and bitchy with Gwen and then Gwen would hand her the smackdown.  That would be great.  Gwen Ifill could totally take that moosehunting slag.

My prediction?  Realistically, they both are going to stay on topic as much as possible.  They will both keep their answers short and sweet, and stick to their talking points.  At some point, Sarah will not answer a question directly, and Gwen will call her on it, demanding "specifics".  And Sarah will change the subject in her answer.  Sarah will also be demeaning towards Obama, and bring up OLD talking points that everybody knows are horse-shit.  At the end, folks will say that they were "amazed at Sarah".  They will say this because it's the first time they have ever seen her speak in a debate format, and it's new.  Keep in mind Sarah (and Joe for that matter) have been rehearsing this debate for quite a while, and are both on game.  So, if Sarah manages to limp through the debate unscathed, she will be labled "a winner" by the republicans.  Even though, every instant-poll will claim Joe was the winner.  The same thing that they did during the last presidential debate.

After the last prez debate, I went online only seconds after the final words were broadcast, and a few righty newspapers across the country had already declared McCain the winner.  It was pathetic.  They had posted their comments before the damn debate was even over.  What the fuck?  So, if you want to know who won, just watch the fucking debate and decide for yourself.

Man I hope Gwen just smacks Sarah upside the head.  Boom! Goes the dynamite!
