I've been shocked and confused by Sarah Palin's recent appointment as McCain's running mate, but I continue to read about it. It's like watching a train wreck: I want to stop looking, but I just can't turn away.
I know this isn't directly related to my time in Viet Nam, but I'm reading about all of this everyday and it's on my mind a lot....so that counts, right?
Really, though. What's McCain doing?! He's not my favorite person in the world, but I thought he would at least be a little better with this decision making process.

**Note: I removed the "picture" (yes, I know it was photoshopped) of Palin for several reasons. First, it didn't correspond with the type of "blog" I want to run here. Secondly, after poking around on the Perez Hilton site--I had never read anything from his blog--I realized how cruel and base his commentaries are. And I don't want to support that at all.

This is a "spoof" to be certain. It is very cute however and speaks volumes about the candidate. My advice is to try to ignore all the US politics and enjoy your stay in Vietnam. I have been enjoying your blog since my friend Joanne P. shared it with me. She will be joining you in Jan. 2009 and I will visit in March. Vietnam looks like a beautiful place. It is always interesting to see how the rest of the world lives. It makes things like politics seem less important. Looking forward to reading you.

Nice post, Mal....I think I will send you mail tho rather than commenting further. I know you needed to do this...it is a bit ridiculous, but politics has been a circus for a long time. d
Yes! haha, I am glad you posted this. You might want to add that it is photoshopped, though!
don't blame you for removing the photo, but photoshopped or not, it had a ring of truth akin to political cartoons in general. On the other hand, political cartoons become redundant, I guess, when the reality is obviously ridiculous enough! d.
P.S. I agree with anonymous re ignoring U.S. politics, especially if you already have the big picture of what needs to be done. That said, I will add only this: DONT FORGET TO VOTE! d
