"Stress" sign on building, Barcelona, Spain.
I don't know about you, but I can hardly wait until this election is over. Even Joe McCain, John McCain's brother is getting cranky, calling 911 emergency twice, just because he was stuck in traffic. These stories are unbelievable; sadly, they're all true.
Chilling: "Another wink and nod from Sarah Palin."
Palin's makeup artist was paid $22,000 for the first two weeks of October!
Desperate Republicans send a private investigator to try to intimidate New Mexico voters.
The Independent: The Picture that Shames Italy.
This is a charming, feel-good short advertisement that contains a little history of England.
And if you haven't read those brazen firecrackers Margaret and Helen, I urge you to drop everything and visit them NOW!
Much ado about nothing. But the McCain campaign fueled the fire.
i found that article about the Roma in Italy very distressing. so, so sad. an insensitivity that is mind boggling if not racist at it's most blatant. i suppose it is both of those things since they thrive in the same fearful atmosphere. i took photographs this week in a cemetery that has a large population of roma/gypsy people buried in it. they are buried in large groups with photographs on each headstone of the individual. there are about four different surnames even though there are at least a hundred graves. Names like Miller, Jones and Stevens. there is even a King Of The Gypsies" buried in his own crypt with his wife. i am doing some research into the culture and the history here in portland before i post or blog about it.
love to you tara!

Kinda circus-like. Three rings, baby.
Anyhoo, Sarah will likely enjoy the campaigning joyride of media spotlights and makeup until the 4th of November, then she'll go quietly back to Alaska and shoot something no doubt!!

Yes, the answer is; terrorist.

The best part about that article about Palin's makeup artist is that they paid her about $10K more than McCain's foreign policy advisor in the same time frame.
And now that confused 20-year McCain campaigner who said a black man attacked her has now confessed that she made the whole thing up?!!
Is there anyway to sleep through all of this until November 4? These people are wearing me out.

What is happening Tara with the quality of the press? Who is dealing and inform the public in this way?

I wonder if it peeves the Republicans that they could be spending some of their money on more advertising, while Obama has oodles to spare, instead of fixing Sarah Palin's face, hair, and wardrobe? Oh, and the wardrobes of her daughters. I suppose one had to have a maternity wardrobe. So she had least had a legitimate excuse for needing new clothing. Tara, have you visited http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com?
