Alaskan Valley Girl

Sarah, quit staring at me. Oh and the cute little winks didn't work either. You may be talking to someone babe, but it's not me. For starters I was an English major. English as a first language, not second. I really don't want my Vice President to tell Putin he's "darn right". Or we need "a heck of a lot more" cooperation. Just as a little aside and something I remember from either grammar or middle school when words end in "ing" you actually PRONOUNCE the "g". It doesn't get dropped for an n' . Oh I'm a stickler, I know. Words like: "betcha, ya , 'em, hurtin', bring 'em to ya, doin', comin',and somethin", really hurt my ears, so if you're elected could you please get an English tutor? One more little thing re: the language ,NUCULER is not a word. I know President Bush thinks it is...but it's not. It's nuclear.

I'm glad the debate is over. For a while there I thought it would never ever end. After 8 minutes I was staring at the clock wondering how I could stand another 82. I couldn't decide whether to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a big bad dream or look around to see if I was being held hostage in a prison camp where they make you listen to Marge from the movie "Fargo" discuss foreign policy until you confess. Funny how questions never did get answered regardless of Gwen Ifil's attempt at keeping our little Alaskan Valley Girl focused. I wasn't on the debate team, but when I was called on in class I responded to the question and actually knew the answer. I don't want to be Vice President however.

My dad thought Sarah should have talked more about her years as a Girl Scout leader because she seemed as qualified as one. They lead troops, don't they? Oh Dad, you're a jokester! Thank the Lord the election is only a few weeks away because I'm soccer and hockey mom'd out as political discourse. I am worried however, that they might be tough ass competitors when we're all lined up at at Home Depot applying for a job if things don't CHANGE soon.
