Sarah Palin scares the shit out of me and it has nothing to do with the gun she’s wielding in the above photo. I fear Mrs. Palin because she wields a far more dangerous than any gun. The heat she’s packin’ is the religious right.
The Evangelical Christian movement is the bluntest blunt instrument any politician can possess. If they favor you they will sing your praises to the heavens each and every Sunday at their mega-churches. Lord help you if you are on their bad side.
In the past, John McCain's relationship with Bible-thumpers has been rather rocky. During his 2000 Presidential Run, McCain referred to people like the late Rev. Jerry Falwell as, “agents of intolerance”. But now that the oval office is within reach, the once “maverick” Senator has tacked hard, hard right and picked a conservative’s wet dream as his running mate.
The silver lining here is that perhaps her hard-line religious views will frighten off some of the less religiously inclined conservatives. While I doubt they'd vote for Obama, they might vote for a Libertarian. Either way - less votes for McCain. Hope hope, pray pray. Yeah. You heard that right. Pray. I believe in God. Deal with it.

In somewhat related news…
The trailer for Gus Van Sants film “Milk” about the life of Harvey Milk (the first openly gay elected official) hit the internet today. Though by no means related to our current election, the trailer alone illustrates precisely why we cannot let the White House fall into the hands of such “agents of intolerance”.
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08!
In news somewhat related “Milk” but in no way related to the whole Sarah Palin thing…
The trailer for Kevin Smith’s new film “Zack & Miri Make A Porno” was unveiled the other day and it is really awesome. Beware! There are some pretty dirty words.
And lastly…
The trailer for “The Brothers Bloom” Rian Johnson’s follow-up to “Brick” looks AMAZING. It was already on my “to see list” but this trailer rocketed it to near the top.
OK. That’s enough from me.
Mahalo.
