…Alaska?
“Sweet confetti I’m looking for a saviour / Finding it hard to break the chain / Nothing ventured nothing gained // Ice cream beauty acting on her best behavior / finding it hard to bite her tongue / feeling so old as the night is young…â€

…Oil? Palin? Who? I think it’s pretty clear what this is all about, so I won’t necessarily re-detail it. First of all, Sarah Palin is a super hottie. Sorry, it’s true. Not only is she attractive, but she embodies that sexy librarian look too many males I know seem to adore still. Ha! I’ve said it a million times but I’ll say it again: winning the Presidency is just as much about how good you are as it is about how good-looking you are. I’m serious. Gore-Bush: sorry, Bush was way cuter. Kerry was just plain ugly. I wasn’t aware for most of this, but even Reagan was a movie star. HELLO!
So I figured, the Dems have it locked up. Though he’s not your typical white celeb, Barack Obama is pretty good-looking, and I’m not just saying that because I have a thing for sticking-out-ears ala Will Smith. He’s an attractive guy. Couple that with “hot, handsome Joe Biden” (you really should read that article, it’s hilarious), and you have a hot ticket waiting to win. Put up against nasty-toothed, crumbly-faced McCain and you have THE CRUSHING. At least when it comes to looks, anyway.
Part of his pick has got to be that McCain realized this, somehow, unconsciously (and also found her attractive as well as saw her maverick-status mirroring his own), because with Palin on the ticket McCain’s good-lookin’ factor just shot up about 100x. Ha! I don’t really want to get in to the other thoughts I have about this situation, so I’ll stick with my attractiveness-factor analysis, or what have you, but geez. If that’s how you’re gonna do it, good pick of Johnny Mc.
K, well, I have a ton of other things going on but I really just wanted to update about this. Adios for now, friends! Happy campaigning.
