I've had trouble with the Dumb but Nasty Environmental Criminal part of Palin. But maybe that's just a hang-up of mine.

[...] I have no idea what it's like to be a mother at all, much less the kind of mother who has to make hard choices; Penelope Trunk, who's made some brutal ones to balance her family and her Brazen Career, speaks rather eloquently to that, so I'll let her. [...]

I literally "stumbled upon" this blog tonight. I am looking forward to reading old posts. I can relate to penelope's perspective in a very real way. I am amazed at how much hate is written in response to this blog, really sad.

Just wanted to say this post spoke to me. Thanks!

Just checked in to see if this string was still alive and read the last post, an it kind of struck me: It must be like all the other claims being made by Sarah Palin and about Sarah Palin, it's probably all bullshit…she doesn't do all that stuff. If it get's done, somebody else does it. That poor woman is in so far over her head, down must look like up to her. It's kind of sad, really.

I get that you pretty much had no political point to this post, and it was much more about the struggle to be a good mom, a good wife and a kick ass senior executive. I have no intention of voting for Sarah Palin and I too will be watching to figure out how she does it…because so far I am at a total loss as to how to be on a plane and handle a 70-80 hour work week with a 2 year old at home.

Thank you Penelope – I read you when i am having a hard time balancing it all (usually on sunday nights) you remind me that I am not alone.

This is ONE scary blog,Penelope! WAKE UP!

get over the fluff! find HILLARY CLINTON a fascinating role model if you need one.

Ms. Palin is a religious zealot on a mission which will lead the US blindly into nothing but war.

If you plan to vote for her…PLEASE stay home and play with the kids!

The thing I'm bothered about most here is the expectation that women can and still should do it all. That somehow Sarah Palin (with props unseen) is the new representation of what success looks like. This fiction promotes the old story–that if a woman struggles juggling work and home or falls short in one her both areas, it's her problem, not the system's. That somehow the individual woman is at fault if she is conflicted or can't do it all — not our two-tiered society that defines power by work/income and devalues home life and children. Where are the voices calling for basic, civilized services for children? Advocating what we know that supports healthy families?? Shame on this country, the richest in the world that will not provide basic health care. Shame on the Sarah Palins in office who will not allow basic sex education to be taught in schools and then cut funds supporting programs for unwed teenage mothers. And a $700 billion bailout for Wall Street. This is beyond crazy; it's obscene.

So many people have stated how they loved Sarah Palin's speech and her clothes. I'd like to point out —

1) Her speech was written by McCain's camp BEFORE she was selected as VP. In fact they admitted they had to rewrite it because it was "too masculine" (their words).

2) Huffington Post has a story up that details Sarah Palin is being dressed by stylists since joining McCain's campaign.

So let's recap, she didn't write her "amazing" speech nor does she pick out any of her designer outfits! This woman is more manufactured than Avril Lavigne AND Britney Spears.

Tell me again, what do you guys find so fascinating about Sarah Palin???

To John: Absolutely hilarious. You should write your own blog!
Penelope, interesting point of view. Keep writing.

We want to see your judgment on what's good information and what is propaganda. It's an intelligence and character test. You make the claims, you provide the evidence.

> and
> pretending not to be aware of these issues is
> ridiculous.

I'm aware of the lame lies the Republicans and Faux have put forward repeatedly for the past eight years, starting with WMDs that were never there and nonexistent threats from nonexistent "terrorists" all over the place. Only cowards like you were deceived.

> are you 8 years old?

Your spelling and punctuation skills seem to indicate that's where your education level is. I haven't made your mistakes since I was about eight.
