I’m not good-looking. I used to be but not any more. Not like Robert Taylor. What I have got is I have character in my face. it’s taken an awful lot of late nights and drinking to put it there. When I go to work in a picture, I say, ‘Don’t take the lines out of my face. Leave them there.’

Julianne Moore and the Palins
Oct. 3rd, 2012 02:14 pmJulianne Moore nabbed an Emmy for her role as controversial former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, but the politician's daughter, Bristol, doesn't believe Moore's trophy was merited.
"I don't think she's a good interpreter of my mom. I think my mom's way hotter than that."
-- ONTD
Notice that Bristol said her mother is "hotter", and not "smarter". And she may be right about that, if Sarah can leave behind the Jesus talk. In any case, I think it is funny that people seem to be more interested in the last presidential contest than this one.

This is a continuation of Sylvia’s last entry, in which she muses over how we have to make such a rough transition from the dreaminess and fairytale stuff of childhood to cold, harsh adulthood.

*to yearn for an organism of the opposite sex to comprehend and heighten your thoughts and instincts, and to realize that most American males worship woman as a sex machine with rounded breasts and a convenient opening in the vagina, as a painted doll who shouldn’t have a thought in her pretty head other than cooking a steak dinner and comforting him in bed after a hard 9-5 day at a routine business job.
*to know that it’s four twenty-three o’clock by the watch you got for graduation and that in three days you have your first mid year exam and that you’d much rather read anything but what you have to, but you do have to, and you will, although you’ve already wasted two hours writing stream-of-consciousness stuff in here when your stream isn’t even much to brag about, after all.

The Debate: Before the Storm

The storm happened and it just about wiped away Obama's campaign. Obama phoned in his performance and allowed Romney to shake up that Etch A Sketch as often and as freely as he pleased. I think Romney succeeded in putting this albatross of an economy back around the president's neck, while painting himself as a white knight coming to the rescue rather than another version of Dubya and the Ayn Randian Republicans who have put us in this mess. So, Obama does not have a cake walk to the next inaugural. We have a contest.
