Bristol Palin Believes Abstinence is “Not Realistic”

February 18, 2009 by Holly in abstinence-only education, politics

This story broke in the blogosphere big time yesterday, but to be fair, I had this post started yesterday, so it only looks like I’m late with this. Bristol Palin sat down with Fox News two days ago for an intimate interview on being a new, teenage mother and given what she had to say, she confirmed our suspicions when she divulged that she had just told her mother, Sarah Palin, the day before she did the interview. What Bristol Palin had to say, however, may have surprised Fox News, READ MORE »

Sarah Palin is a Grandmother

December 30, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, politics

Bristol Palin, the daughter of former (thank. goodness.) Republican vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin gave birth to a healthy, 7lb. 7oz. baby boy on Saturday at 5:30am. The baby’s name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. Sarah Palin first released news of Bristol’s pregnancy after she was “tapped on the shoulder” to run for office with former Republican presidential nominee John McCain at a convenient time while rebutting rumors about a cover up of her own READ MORE »

Planned Parenthood Received over $1 Million in Honor of Sarah Palin

December 22, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, arts, politics

Gretchen Peters wrote the beloved, hit song, ‘Independence Day.’ What we saw a great deal of during the 2008 presidential election, was the RNC using inappropriate hit songs on the campaign trail; most notably we heard Heart’s ‘Barracuda’ during an event to introduce Sarah Palin, but the one misstep that did the most damage to the RNC and helped Planned Parenthood immensely was when ‘Independence Day’ was used by the RNC at an event promoting the READ MORE »

Bloggers in Pajamas, Sarah Palin Hates You

November 13, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, media, politics

While catching up on some political news, I was watching some MSNBC news clips and came across this little gem. Apparently Sarah Palin thinks bloggers are simply people who sit in their parent’s basements, in their pajamas, getting off on the fact that they are spreading gossip and lies. I guess bloggers are simply contributing to the “rotten apple baskets of media” she likes to go on about so much. Sarah Palin sure likes to blame the media a lot and is simply proving, by READ MORE »

I Don’t Think Palin Would Answer My Questions

November 10, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, politics

On Wednesday, Wolf Blitzer will be interviewing former (thank goodness) Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on The Situation Room. What makes this interview different from any other interview formerly conducted with the woman who finds a way to dodge all questions she cannot answer, is that we can all be a part of it–If we submit boring, Palin-friendly questions, I’m guessing, but it’s a worth a shot either way. So if you have a question for Palin, CNN is READ MORE »

John McCain Concedes: ‘The American People Have Spoken and They Have Spoken Clearly’

November 5, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election

Outside of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel shortly after 9 pm, McCain conceded the presidential election to Barack Obama, starting with ‘the American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly.’ Standing with Governor Sarah Palin, her husband Todd and his wife, Cindy, McCain spoke to a crowd of disappointed supporters as he wished President Obama the best and urged unity within the American people. While I commend McCain’s dignified, albeit forced, speech, his supporters READ MORE »

Sarah Palin is Not a Feminist and She Agrees!

October 31, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, politics

Just two months ago, when Sarah Palin was announced as the Republican vice presidential nominee, I wrote a post voicing my outrage over Palin calling herself and being called a feminist. To this day, that post is the most popular post on Menstrual Poetry, receiving more comments than any other post on this website, mostly from McCain and Palin supporters telling me that indeed Palin is a feminist and how dare I say that she isn’t just because she possesses stronger anti-woman policies READ MORE »

Who Knows what Joe Biden was Talking About

October 21, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, media, politics

Sarah Palin recently did an interview with CNN where for an entire 3 minutes and 20 seconds, she talks in depth about Joe Biden’s recent comment where he said that Obama would be challenged by an international crisis in his first six months of office. Palin mocked this comment and also repeatedly insists that Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate running with Obama, was telling the American people that his own running mate is not ready to be president. Apparently, with READ MORE »

I Would Suggest that Cindy McCain Change Shoes with Any Middle Class American

October 14, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, Iraq war, politics

At a recent McCain/Palin rally in Bethlehem, PA, Cindy McCain made a speech where she said: “I’m proud of my sons, but let me tell you, the day that Senator Obama cast a vote not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body. I would suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one day, and see what it means.” First of all, Cindy McCain is not the first person in this Republican choke hold to the top to make this remark; in fact, she READ MORE »

Just Name One Newspaper! Any Newspaper!

October 7, 2008 by Holly in 2008 election, politics

How does a question like “What newspaper did you read before accepting the vice presidential nomination from John McCain?” turn into Palin talking about how American citizens think Alaska is a foreign country? Apparently Palin has either read every newspaper ever created or none at all. Do Alaskan cities have local newspapers? If so, why can’t she name one? Just one? She could have just named a newspaper out there that she has at least heard of that she didn’t READ MORE »
