Welcome to My Blog
Valentine’s Day 2008
Hello and welcome to my blog. I need to explain why the dates don't match. I had the idea for this blog last year and have been writing but not posting. So today I have decided that it is time so my earlier thougths will have the actual date in the title. Just pretend it's the correct date and not that it has been sitting around for a year.
Valentine’s Day 2008
Hello and welcome to my blog. I need to explain why the dates don't match. I had the idea for this blog last year and have been writing but not posting. So today I have decided that it is time so my earlier thougths will have the actual date in the title. Just pretend it's the correct date and not that it has been sitting around for a year.
My first thought as I start this is very much like Admiral Stockdale, “who am I and why am I here?” those of you who understand that will think it’s funny, those of you who don’t get it, well it’s not funny enough to explain, so I’ll move on. Who am I? Well until recently I didn’t know, but thanks to all of the Political Pundits, I can now say that I am a 50-50. You may ask what is a 50-50? Well apparently I’m a white female, over 50 years old, making under $50,000 a year without a college degree. As if I didn’t feel badly enough about my life, I find that I’m in the most prosaic category available. Right smack dap in the middle. 50-50… boring. Which brings me to why am I here? I’m not sure really. Often when I read a lifestyle column I think, I could write that. But then I realize that no one will pay me to write that so I’ve decided to write it here.
Let’s talk more about the Political Pundits. I’ve had a real hard time so far with the Presidential 08 coverage. I find it hard to believe that Political Pundits have so much power in this country that they can tell me who the Republican candidate is before most of the country has even voted. Yes, I’m a Republican, sort of. My moral values won’t allow me to be a Democrat, but I’m too liberal to be a conservative and too conservative to be a liberal. So I think I’ll be a Relibricon, it’s a little known party. I only have one delegate and my convention is very small, it’s just a bunch of voices in my head and me. But we have a great logo and of course matching shoes. Back to the Pundits, they have decided that I’m a 50-50, ugh, and they talk about it as if I would like being referred to in this way. Does anyone else think it appropriate that Pundit starts with P-U? Since Political starts with P-O, from now on the Political Pundits will be known by me (and the Relibricon Party) as PoPu’s.
This blog is not intended to be a Political blog that just happens to be on my mind tonight. Who knows what will be on my mind tomorrow. I can’t wait to find out.
