Distaste for the Illogical

Before I start writing today, I wanted to come right out and say that the economy certainly MUST be up Crap Creek and down the drippy waterfall, because I just got turned down for employment by two different temp agencies. I suppose it’s either that or a Bachelor’s Degree isn’t enough qualification for menial work. You decide.

In my misery, I decided to watch the SNL parody-styled Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin. My first thought (after watching all of the speeches, conventions, and banter both ways) was a simple one; Both Tina Fey and Sarah Palin are equally hilarious.

Now, the buzz and speculation about this presidential race has multiplied each and every time either side does something new and radical that’s never been done before. It started with Hillary throwing her hat in the ring, and then became something else when Barack got the Democratic nomination. McCain got people on both sides to get loud over claims of “100 years in Iraq” and “We’ll drill in Alaska,” and then over his choice of an obscure female running-mate. Now, whether I want to hear about it or not, Palin has become the sort of news anomoly the Republicans had hoped she would, especially since the theme of women running for major political positions has become sort of passe.

So I saw the SNL skit, and I laughed about it. You can watch it here , if you’d like.

It made me wonder what new advancements will be made in terms of humor, seeing as this election is going to be bigger than any other election in history. Or so they say.
