Laura Bush: Palin lacks foreign policy experience
2 hours, 39 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - First lady Laura Bush says Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lacks sufficient foreign policy experience but is a very quick study. (this isn't the SATs, we're talking less than 4 months to "study up" on how not to get the usa nuked.)
In an interview Wednesday with CNN, the first lady remarked that it's fortunate that Republican presidential nominee John McCain has foreign policy experience himself. (and what if he dies? will he leave her notes? will he talk to her from the grave? seriously!!)
Still, Mrs. Bush says she has a lot of confidence in Palin. She says the Alaska governor has a lot of good common sense, and the first lady adds that she is thrilled to have a chance to vote for Palin on the GOP ticket. (common sense? is she for real? is that what got her family into Bristolgate? Troopergate?)
Mrs. Bush also said that she thinks Palin is being treated unfairly because she is a woman. That, the first lady says, is to be expected. (what a bunch of bullshit. she's being treated this way because she's not fit to run a large city like NYC or LA, much less the USA, not because she's a woman.)

squatter
can't make this stuff up.
the attached picture is of a woman who squatted in my booth at a tradeshow last weekend for about an hour! i've had people stop and borrow the chairs for a few minutes, but never has someone stayed so long. and then she had the NERVE to pull out a BOOK. um, hi, we're trying to sell stuff here!!!
she is definitely worse than the four people that borrowed my table and chairs in philly two years ago to hold a MEETING. they were only there for 30 minutes. i tried to bounce them, but they wouldn't leave. i didn't say a word to this lady, wanted to see how long she'd stay. omg.

harboring a fugitive
i found a seemingly lost dog this morning ... she was hanging out in the middle of the street in front of our house. she had no intention of moving out of the way as a car came down the street so i called her over to our garage where i fed her and gave her some water.
she had a nice collar and doggie tags. however, the phone number on the tags was disconnected! she was from the next town over, according to her license, so i didn't know where to start looking for her owners. i secured our new little friend in the side yard ... poor lola ... she really wanted to play with "sadie," but i kept them separated in case she was diseased.
i spent the better part of the next hour talking to the oxnard pound, licensing department, camarillo dog pound, robin, joe and kristine ... had to come up with a plan to get this dog home!
i reluctently arranged for the pound to come pick her up. robin told me how to adopt her later if needed and take her to a shelter that doesn't destroy dogs. whew! (okay, we probably would have kept her at that point.) so, lola, the fugitive and i waited for the dog catcher. during the wait i wrote a note to the owners, with the pound address, phone number and hours ... i figured i could drop that by their house so they would know where to start looking for their dog.
mr. dog catcher turned up around noon. right behind him was a guy asking what kind of dog was being picked up. i told him a black lab and he exclaimed, "that's my dog!" turns out, he's our relatively new neighbor ... sadie got out this morning and they couldn't find her. he hadn't updated her tags since the move, hence the disconnected phone number!
so, sadie went home. i asked the guy to go directly to petsmart for new tags! if she'd had a good number on her tags she would have been home in seconds this morning!

delicious
haagen dazs CARAMEL CONE ice cream.
it is my new absolute favorite ice cream flavor. haagen dazs PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE has dropped to 2nd place; ben and jerry's PHISH FOOD rings in at number 3.
if you haven't tried one or more of these flavors, rush to the market right now and grab a spoon!
