Sarah Palin records a video message, accusing the media of “blood libel”
I’m not sure she knows the definition of the word.
I’d be surprised if she understood everything she just said. Ghost writers, man….
She is an idiot. Puppets r us.
We promise to shut up if she promises to shut up.
I thought Sarah’s speech was...
so.
I guess I’m back on tumblr. Thank you, winter doldrums. Thank you, blogging addiction. And to a much lesser extent: thank you office job.

“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turn, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.” ~C.S. Lewis

Dear Prospective Employer
Thank you for posting your job opening on the internet, so that it took no real effort for me to find and apply for it. That being said, I’m slightly interested in your opening and I hope this cover letter makes it seem that I’m actually interested in your company and not just applying for any and all job openings. I see in the job description that you require *expert* knowledge of...

I am stuck in traffic in a taxicab
which is typical
and not just of modern life
mud clambers up the trellis of my nerves
must lovers of Eros end up with Venus
muss es sein? es muss nicht sein, I tell you
how I hate disease, it's like worrying
that comes true
and it simply must not be able to happen
in a world where you are...

Who are Sean Hannity’s ilk? Geraldo goes on Bill O’Reilly ALL THE TIME, so…I guess O’Reilly doesn’t count?
Long night at a new job. Walking to my car through a dark and rainy parking lot.
My boyfriend appears, hands me a green tea latte. His truck broke down Friday, so he made his sister bring him. They’ve been waiting for forty minutes.
