I'd like to talk about Jesus. Everyone has their Jesus. Some people have this one:

Some have this:

I have this one:

When I got this one, it came in superhero packaging. My nephew C said, "This guy is cool, but I wish he had more weapons." We responded with "Oh, he does! He can turn water into wine! Walk on water! Make people kill each other in his name!" I feel that Jesus and I now have a better relationship. I took him out of the packaging. He helps me each day. Especially when it comes to keeping track of things I lose.

Here's Jesus holding my Color Purple tickets!

No more wondering if we put these tickets in a safe spot!

Hey...where's my awesome Keihls Lip Balm?

Thanks Jesus!

Jesus knows everything. Like when it's time for a wax!

Jesus Christ! Where's my phone?

Though sometimes bogged down by the trappings of technology:

Jesus is all right. This blog entry was going to be about how I've become more spiritual lately. I have. And Jesus and I now have an understanding. He's a huge help in many circumstances. But mostly him and God are good at letting us figure it out on our own.

I never knew that before, honestly. But thanks to my teacher, John McCain, I now have heard the lesson loud and clear. Because it seems that all it takes to sway a Republican woman's vote is another vagina. Easy-peasy! No, they don't need experience, expertise in anything, hell - they don't need to have ever even left the country! Mayor of a city of 6,000 and governor of our least populated state is just fine.

Republican women don't look for things like intelligence. They look for things like closeness to God, being able to raise a family of five and go to work every day in spite of the challenges life throws. They want a "normal person".

Well you know what? If I wanted a normal person, your average Joe to lead the country, I would have voted for George W. Bush! Why is is wrong to want extraordinary? I want someone WAY smarter than me. Someone who makes (or has made) WAY better decisions than I. Someone who is better educated, and will put my country before EVERYTHING. Normal people don't want that job. Extraordinary people do.

Sarah Palin is not normal. She's an idiot. I couldn't care less about her daughter getting pregnant - that is beside the point. The fact is she has no experience. Not a little, like our democratic nominee, but none. Never traveled. Called the Iraq war "A task that is from God". She supported Buchanan because W wasn't conservative enough!

Obama served in the state senate. The state of Illinois (pop. 12,831,970). He then served those 12,831,970 in the US senate. Palin served as mayor of Wasilla (pop. 6,700). She then governed Alaska for 2 years (pop. 670,000). Her experience with Inuit people is certainly greater than Obamas. 15% of the population is Native Alaskan. That's 98,000 people, give or take. Obama represents about the same percentage of African Americans. That's like the same. Give or take 1,902,000 people.

Why then did the McCain team think so little of their own constituency to throw a vagina their way in hopes of securing the election? Hail Mary, baby. It's all about the Hail Mary.
