So, Palin Thinks She Can Dance With President Obama…

In Politically Speaking, Uncategorized on November 22, 2010 at 8:26 pm

 

Sarah Palin says that she thinks she can beat President Obama in the 2012 election.  As much as I would like to say that this would be an impossible feat, Palin cannot be dismissed…    

Here are some reasons why Palin might be able to pull off the election:

She’s popular

Whether or not you like her politics , you must admit that everyone knows her name (The theme from Cheers is playing in my head).

She is one hot Momma Grizzly. 

Going along with popularity, Palin is very visible.

 She does have a successful book and reality television show.  And, we can’t forget about the buzz–ala Dancing With The Stars— that has been caused by her daughter, Bristol- the- Pistol- Palin.

She did rally behind those ever faithful Tea Party people; they’re loyal to a fault.

She’s personably folksy.

She appeals to the self-proclaimed, ultra moralistic crowd.

(Remember how the evangelical vote helped to push G.W. Bush into the winners circle).

She might be boning up on her history in order to appear more well versed during future debates and interviews.

She could win the “history making” vote.

 It’s possible that some people will vote for her simply because of her female status.    

Personally, I don’t dislike Palin as a person.  But,I just don’t think she has the interest of common folk in mind–as is the case with many Repubs and Tea Partiers.  I just hope and pray that Palin won’t run in the first place.  Then again, I could use some of Tina Fey’s brilliant comedy.

Kim Zolciak of The Housewives of Atlanta is Pregnant…

I’m confused…Yesterday on Watch What Happens Live, Kim Zolciak of The Housewives of Atlanta told host Andy Cohen that she isn’t pregnant—clearing up apparent rumors that she is with child.  

Then, lo and behold, I see that she is pregnant with Atlanta Falcon Kroy Biermann’s baby—last week’s airing of HWOA showed how the couple met.  For more, visit: http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/22/kim-zolciak-pregnant/?icid=maing%7Cmain5%7C2%7Clink5%7C27347

Phaedra Parks of The Housewives of Atlanta is Too Funny!

In Entertainment on November 22, 2010 at 4:18 pm

 

I had been patiently waiting to hear the deal about Phaedra Parks, the attorney on HWOA—she seemed to be “all confusing” about her due date.  Based on Parks’ comments, I knew—along with the other ATL ladies—that she had to be lying about her time of conception.  Turns out that she, obviously, got knocked up prior to marrying her hubby, Apollo.  Big deal, right? People have been getting knocked up before marriage since the beginning of time.

It’s just amazing that someone [Phaedra] could feel comfortable telling such a doozie, especially on  national television.  Parks claimed to be seven months pregnant, but her good old doctor let it be known that she was more like 40 weeks or full term. Can I just say this was totally hilarious to watch; Doc let the beans out right in front of Kandi and Phaedra’s mother, and her mother didn’t say anything.

Prior to delivering her bundle of joy, Phaedra told Kandi that “babies before marriage” weren’t allowed in her family.  Her mother nodded on that one.  But, moms didn’t say anything when doc set the record straight.  Surely, moms knew that her daughter had a bun in the oven before walking down the aisle.  So, according to mom’s rules, there are no babies before marriage.  But, I guess it’s okay to lie and lie big…Go figure?        

As I laughed and fussed about Phaedra’s obvious lie, my hubby said, “She is a lawyer.”   

Well, Phaedra is certainly funny.  I’ll be tuning in to see how she’ll top that whopper-of-a-story!
