. . .continues to have a nice viewing audience. Also there was something about the image of the baked potato head being “full of smartness and stuff” that kept making me laugh out loud and then the big rock fell on my head: women really do think smart men are sexy.
And the reverse is not true.
Men learn to love smart women but it doesn’t come naturally. Smartness for men, I would wager, intially reduces sex appeal but it’s something they can think themselves over. If they’re smart, heh-heh.
The same doesn’t go for gay men or lesbians, though.
Smartness is sexy for lesbians and gay men and their partners, all-ways, two-ways, every-ways because they’ve freed themselves from continuing the species. Lucky them–the same rules don’t apply.
Straight men need to father as many children as possible. Straight women need to pick that special guy who can help her raise a child.
Hence smart men are sexy.
Smart women are the equivalent of the species thinking outside the box.
So don’t go all insane on me. In answer to my own question, yes. But not immediately.
Sure I had my pouting moments over the loss of Hillary, but I’m over that now. However she comes back–and she will–I’ll be there.
For about five minutes I also reveled in Sarah bare-handed crab-catcher, but I’m over that now too. Now I revel in her impersonators.
On November 4–if you’re a woman–it has to be Obama and Biden.
Girls, ya just gotta go to the information that’s been put together on the Feminists for Obama website. Not only are there some disturbing vids like the one below . . .
. . . they also provide a detailed comparison of the platform/voting records for Obama, Biden, and McCain on economic issues (including women-owned businesses), health care, education, human rights, the war in Iraq, and more. Quite an eye-opener.
I don’t care if McCain is one of the more palatable Republicans, and I’m not trying to sway any Republican die-hards here. I’m saying, if you supported Hillary Clinton during the primaries, it’s time to dry your tears and get on board if you haven’t done so already. According to Ellie Smeal (and heck, she’s an icon)
“Obama/Biden are running on the strongest platform for women’s rights of any major party in U.S. history”
Eleanor Smeal, President of Feminist Majority
Did you get that? “In history.” So let’s make some. Get out there and vote.
JOHN ROBERTS: There’s also this issue that on April 18th she [Gov. Palin] gave birth to a baby with Downs Syndrome. The baby is slightly more than four months old now and, uh, children with Downs Syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of vice president seems to me would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child.
DANNA BASH: That’s a very good question and I guess, um, my guess is that the lines out of the McCain campaign is if it were a man being picked who also had a baby with Downs Syndrome would you ask the same question. [FOOTNOTE TO DANNA: NO HE WOULDN'T] And that might be another way to kind of, way to, uh, you know, close the gender gap and make the point that yes, she not only has unfortunately [WHOAH] a baby with Downs Syndrome, but she has five children the oldest of whom is in the Army and is apparently to head off to Iraq in the fall, so you know, uh, it absolutely is going to be a question that she is going to have to answer, and there’s no question that she had to do soul searching and figure out if she could take this on when John MCCain made clear he wanted her to be his running mate . . ..
For anyone who thinks that there isn’t sexism in the media and that Hill had a cakewalk, I rest my case.
What is that thing on the coffee table anyway? I mean, the bear’s dead and I’m not jumping up and down about that but for all the people who claim that Sarah Palin won’t be able to stand the fall election heat: she’s sitting on a bear, folks. And she probably caught the big ugly thing on the coffee table with her bare hands in between raising four kids and diapering the fifth.
Still not convinced? Well how ’bout this one?
We don’t share the same politics but I just cannot wait for this woman to make some boys cry.
Structurally, Hillary’s speech at the Democratic National Convention was masterful. I have to admit, I didn’t know where she was going with the familiar stories from the campaign trail–the mother with cancer and no health insurance, the soldier in pain. Minutes later I found out as she whumped her supporters with the following:
I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me, or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids? Were you in it for that young boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage? Were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?
True, she didn’t say a single substantive thing about Obama. But she did what she had to do. And she left her options open.
Can’t wait for what ever suprise Shrillary and her toadies have stuffed up their sleeves.

Well, Joe, neither can I, though I wouldn’t have put it quite that way. Now let’s see how HireHeels puts it:
gals & sugardaddies,
we’re
denver-bound
lookin’
pretty, but
things
may get
ugly…
Hmm, that’s better. But many questions. What are these people going to do at the convention? How many of them are there? Have all but a few of the 18 million really moved on? Does Hill have a snowball’s chance in Timbuktu of actually being nominated?
And what about PUMA? Are they frustrated Dems or crafty Republicans? Diane Tucker at HuffPo offers up the following:
It’s clear PUMA is looking for Hillary Clinton’s name to be placed into nomination at the National Convention, but which convention — Democratic or Republican? PUMA founder and spokesperson Will Bower told the Huffington Post in June that even though he has been a lifelong Democrat, if Hillary’s destiny is to become vice-president, then he would prefer a McCain/Hillary ticket.
Well, I’ve got my place on the sofa all set. Had no time to watch the Olympics, but I’ll be tuning in regularly to this one.
“Girls, skip the spending spree and get our gal out of debt!” urges Hireheels–just one of the pro-woman, pro-Hillary sites that have sprung up since Hill suspended her campaign.
On Larry King last night, no one was taking the “bitter” contingent too seriously. Not so in the Washington Post this morning. These women aren’t going anywhere. Except in August, when they intend to march on Denver, site of the Democratic Party convention.
They aren’t done yet.
From the Post today: “Democratic leaders insist–and polls indicate–that the vast majority of Clinton supporters, including women, already have flocked to Obama or eventually will. But the effectiveness of the Internet as an organizing tool for dissent is creating concern and uncertainty about the scope and intensity of those unwilling to fall in line.”
