Beep!

/snark-on

I haven’t been on the intrawebz in almost 10 days (not counting Twitter, which I do mostly from my phone). I haven’t blogged, read any feeds, or participated in any meaningful online discussions.

Sorry, but I haven’t missed a single one of ya…

… or the blog drama

… or the US and international political discussions

… or the tropical weather reports.

Basically? I’m not here right now*, so leave a message at the beep.

/snark-off

* I have the right to return at any given moment, announced or unannounced, so sleep with one eye open!

You can’t Please Everyone All of the Time

McCain’s new VP candidate, Governor Sarah Palin, didn’t mention her daughter’s pregnancy in her RNC speech last night.  IMHO, neglecting to mention [her daughter's personal business] was appropriate.

I’m now amused by certain individuals (and groups) speaking on behalf of (or due to their personal affiliations with) pro-adoption/anti-adoption and/or pro-life/pro-choice who are making a huge deal out of her decision to not pen it into her speech about it

(they would’ve made a big deal out of it if she HAD talked about it, too.)

Goes to prove that you just can’t please everyone all of the time…

What’s a blog-buddy clique, you ask?
