Whereas Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin. I disagree with her on every single issue, yes. But she also threatens me on a primal level that has something to do with the fact that she played basketball AND she competed in beauty pageants. That she gave birth to a Down Syndrome baby and went back to work three days later. (Three days? Seriously? Is she bionic?) That she proudly poses for glamorous photos with dead bears. Stridently self-confident. Dead sure of her rightness. A brassy tomboy.
So totally not my type. It's a schoolyard thing. And with those far-right politics? She's making me absolutely crazy.
Now I will turn my attention back to food and rant no more. I just had to get this out of my system.
I went in to the City yesterday to see Alice Waters on a Slow Food Nation panel about "Edible Education," though no one there could really agree what the term meant. Like most panels the discussion bounced around erratically -- though inspiringly! It is hard to argue with offering our children better food.

Waters wore a fetching little cotton dress and playful sandals and made her pitch for a federal "slow food" school lunch program. Alas, she was the least articulate panelist up there. She seemed extremely nervous, and (I felt) everyone treated her like a beloved, dotty old aunt as she breathily
outlined her idealistic vision of wholesale, top-down change.
She was very pie-in-the-sky, whereas other panelists -- most of whom had more practical experience making things happen -- listened to her patiently and respectfully, then offered their own earthbound ideas for how a transformation might realistically occur, piecemeal.
Alice bristled and disagreed in her quavering voice, continuing to throw down her dreamy all-or-nothing gauntlets. I was slightly embarrassed for her, but paradoxically, came away liking her a little better.
Probably a schoolyard thing.
How about a few more picture of our next veep? McCain and MILF for President!
ReplyDeleteI guess I meant "pictures."
ReplyDeleteif you want to know how she went back to work after only 3 days go to dailykos.com
ReplyDeleteturns out her childbirth was abnormally stress free.
I wonder if the Palin Truth Squad has folks like Anonymous # 1 trolling the blogs and leaving these grammatically-challenged comments?
ReplyDeleteAmy (Berkeley - found your blog today and love, love, love it!)
I will not acquiesce in on it. I think warm-hearted post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to be familiar with the sound story.
