Due to a mini-vacation, I haven’t been at a computer since Friday morning. At that time, rumours were floating around about a certain plane flying from Alaska. Eventually I learned that it was confirmed that Sarah Palin had been selected as John McCain’s running mate. She was my number one pick all spring and summer, but I wasn’t sure if John McCain would choose her. I hoped and I hoped (just ask Derek), and you can only imagine my excitement when it was confirmed. My only disappointments were that I couldn’t get access to a computer or even watch FOX news. As a last (pathetic) resort, I turned to CNN and laughed at them calling it a “shocker” and scrambling to find “something” negative about Palin.
It is exciting to see such a contrast in the two parties. The Republican party represents a REAL choice for LIFE and conservative values. It stands as a stark contrast to the radical liberal pro-death Democratic party that is supported by both the mainstream media and Hollywood.
I found links to these images in my inbox as soon as I got home.

When I checked my blogroll, I was delighted to read that some of my favorite bloggers like Sarah Palin as much as I do.

McCain: “If I Am President, Advancing the Cause of Life Will Not Be Above My Pay Grade”
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/aug/08082708.html
“He [Obama] is against parental notification laws, and against restrictions on taxpayer funding for abortions. In the Illinois Senate, a bipartisan majority passed legislation to prevent the horrific practice of partial-birth abortion. Senator Obama opposed that bill, voting against it in committee and voting “present” on the Senate floor.”
“In 2002, Congress unanimously passed a federal law to require medical care for babies who survive abortions – living, breathing babies whom Senator Obama described as, quote, “previable.” This merciful law was called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Illinois had a version of the same law, and Barack Obama voted against it…”
“I can assure you that if I am president, advancing the cause of life will not be above my pay grade.” John McCain

Contraceptive pill influences partner choice
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-08/uol-cpi081108.php
“The contraceptive pill may disrupt women’s natural ability to choose a partner genetically dissimilar to themselves…”
“Disturbing a woman’s instinctive attraction to genetically different men could result in difficulties when trying to conceive, an increased risk of miscarriage and long intervals between pregnancies. Passing on a lack of diverse genes to a child could also weaken their immune system.”
“‘Not only could MHC-similarity in couples lead to fertility problems but it could ultimately lead to the breakdown of relationships when women stop using the contraceptive pill, as odour perception plays a significant role in maintaining attraction to partners.’”

We went to see The Clone Wars last night. B9 has been playing Star Wars Lego all summer, so I knew he would love the movie. L3 was also right into it, and N14 didn’t mind it. The girls (C7 and I) didn’t expect to be impressed, but we had fun anyway.
What I liked best about the movie was the baby carrier/backpack in which they carried the Baby Huttlet (AKA Rotta or Stinky). They could have chosen any fancy wheeled method of carrying the baby, but they chose the most efficient, safest, and BEST way! Love the babywearing!!

ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You were asked, “Is he ready?” You said, “I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
JOE BIDEN: I think that I stand by the statement.
ANNCR: And what does he say about John McCain?
BIDEN: I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.
And we can’t forget more of Biden’s words referring to Obama.
“I mean, you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a story-book, man,” Biden said.
What’s with the text-messaging thing in the middle of the night anyway? What about all the poor people who don’t have access to text-messaging?
