[Apartment 303: Politics Schmolitics]

Well, like a lot of people, I have been following this election pretty closely. I know that I am not the only one who is appalled by McCain's VP pick, Sarah Palin. It terrifies me to think that I might wake up on November 5th to find John McCain and Sarah Palin to be the leaders of our country.

Palin is totally unqualified to be one heartbeat away from assuming the position as leader of the United States. That is a scary thought! The sum total of her political experience is one and half years as governor of Alaska, and six years as a part-time mayor of a tiny town outside Anchorage. Her resume qualifies her to work in a Moose petting zoo, not to be the president of the United States! McCain only met her twice before offering her the vice-presidency. A McDonald's applicant undergoes a more rigorous assessment before he's offered a position flipping burgers.

Palin claims that she is one of us - just another hockey mom. She puts on her adorable, folksy hockey mom routine to tug at the hearts of people in small town America. Palin has the audacity to say that she can relate to the struggles of middle class families. Bullshit. She has spent more money in the last couple months than the average person spends on a house. In just two short months she has squandered a whopping $177, 000.00 on designer clothes, fancy hair styling and famous make-up artists. Sarah Palin can take her "I'm for the regular Joe" chatter and shove it!

The McCain Campaign has been tirelessly working to make Palin look better. After the Katie Couric interview fiasco, they have been much more selective about the interviews Little Miss Hockey Mom is allowed to be a part of. It is painfully obvious that Palin is coached on any and everything she says. It's like she is reading a script. In her first three appearances Palin has delivered the same speech with only slight variations. This indicates a person who can't think on her feet. She relies on memory more than smarts. Palin's performance is not just bad but outright cringe-worthy.

John McCain has irrevocably tarnished his reputation with this desperate attempt to appeal to Hillary's voters and to appease the far right in his party. It is an insult to all of us. McCain has put the security and safety of America at risk. And don't even get me started on McCain...

Bottom line, I tremble at the thought that one day Sarah Palin may be president of the United States. Please, please, please do the right thing when you cast your vote next week.

Vote for Obama!

Okay, enough about that. On to the comics!
