This PSA video about talking to your parents is the most important thing I've seen in a long time (h/t: Ron Chusid at Liberal Values):
Visit Partnership for a McCain-Free White House to learn more, and be on the lookout if your parents exhibit these warning signs:
1. Prefacing every sentence with "Lemme give you a little straight talk."
2. Arguing that it's crucially important for a president to be erratic and unstable.
3. Referring to the past 8 years of American history as "The Golden Age."
4. Saying things like, "Sarah Palin is a reasonable choice as VP."
5. Having trouble making eye contact.
6. Wandering and pacing aimlessly.
7. Disparaging Spain for no apparent reason.
8. Delusionally believing all people they meet are "[their] friends"--even though most people are kinda creeped out by them.
9. Being unable to accurately count the number of homes they own, cars they drive, or years the United States should remain in Iraq.
10. Putting a McCain-Palin yard sign in the front lawn.
Good luck!
Which endangered animal will make the next appearance from her jewelry collection?
I have grown partial to her polar bear lapel brooch...
And here I thought that most people were so fixated on her glasses that they missed her earrings...
After a lengthy discussion with my 87 year old father, he said he would probably vote for Palin because he liked her earrings.
I kid you not.
Can you hear the thumping sound of my forehead on the keyboard?
