Lola's Anniversary!

For shits and giggles Lola decided to look back to her first Blog post. And what did she find? That she has been writing this blog for just over a year! She is somewhat nauseated and dizzied by the fact that a year has so quickly flown by. Much has happened in said year; some good, some bad, some incredibly hilarious happenings. There was the opening post lamenting over her lack of physical activity, and subsequent issues of clothing designers being depicted as Succubi from Hell. Many an adventure, such as offing the wasps with over the counter Napalm, wearing Noodles in the water so as not to float away whilst inebriated, and many a laughable incident while driving to or from NJ. There have also been somewhat serious posts (altho relatively few; Lola does NOT want her readers to think that she is sappy in the least), posts meant for the purpose of solely bitching about the world and and the ridiculous shit that happens. At any rate, Lola would like to thank her 3 semi-faithful readers for enjoying the ride with her. Remember, there will always be an entertaining story that follows the phrase "So there I am....."

Political Woes

As a general rule, I am not a particularly political person. However, with the upcoming election I find myself strangely drawn to the world of politics, the individual contestants (because, lets be serious, this is just a nationwide gameshow), and the "rules" of the game. In my own humble opinion, nothing can be worse than the last 8 wretched years of Dubya's "strategery," but I think that the Hooker in Boots (Sarah Palin) might rate a close second. I am reminded of my earlier post "Cheney/Voldemort '08" which should just be changed to "McCain/Volemort" for more accuracy. For the first time ever, I actually watched a debate (Palin/Biden), with the intent of witnessing what I had hoped would be a royal trainwreck. It wasn't quite as bad as I had hoped, but it was close. She deftly managed to not adequately answer a single question, all the while toting her and McCain's talents as "mavericks." Which, of course, they are not. If she made one more nebulous reference to plans for Iraq, or how to solve the energy crisis, I was going to shoot myself in the head. Now, I think every candidate should be able to choose their own running mate, but I think that McCain's decision has was the final death knell for the Republican party in this election. If he was looking for the Hilary vote, he was sorely mistaken. Just because she has a set of ovaries does not mean that she is remotely qualified to represent the opinions of any modern woman in America today. Quite the opposite; she is, most certainly, the Bridge to Nowhere.
