Shame on you, Ms. Favorite. Who do you think you’re emailing?
Published September 22nd, 2008Recently, I’ve (inadvertently) sent some pro-Obama and anti-Pallin e-mails to pro-McCain people. My bad! I can understand that it annoys people (who have let me know), but is this an issue of free speech or bad form? In other words, should I be keeping my beliefs quiet, should I be more polite? Is this bad marketing to say I support Obama? Nice girls don’t ruffle feathers? Am I only supposed to engage with people that agree with me? I really appreciated that Len weighed in on the Swanborn death notice issue with the Tribune. Len is a Republican, but he still believed that censoring and disallowing first-amendment rights is wrong.
By the same token, I’m annoyed with the people who attack Pallin for being a working mother. How she chooses to conduct her family life is her decision. I’m sure she juggles responsibilities with her husband, daughters, and whomever else she must hire to make the house go.

Eileen,
My prayers are with you Eileen FAVORITE!
Sorry to be parochial here but let’s allow ourselves to speak from the heart without shame. Palin is filth, a disease inflicting the nation. She is a walking symbol of a country in deep trouble spiritually and fundamentally. That she is plausably in a position to be a heart beat away from the presidency is beyond belief. Why don’t you Palin supporters just huddle with your tired masses in the south and secede from the Union. Yes, this means you in Alaska as well. Eileen, you and I both know there are more important things going on in your life then to engage with these sycophants. God bless us all if McCain-Palin are in the Oval office come 2009. And don’t for a second think that things will be a cakewalk for Barack even if he wins. We are a troubled nation with a troubled soul. Thankfully at this trying time we can take some solace in the more important things in life. I’m talking about family….good friends or maybe just something as simple as enjoying our FAVORITE things.

And by the way, back to the Tribune for a second. they should be castrated for the ridiculous and moronic review of your book. They don’t deserve to be breathing the same air as us.

A reviewer in the NYTimes recently said that an author should never be criticized for not writing the book that the reviewer wished they’d written. I think that sums up the Trib. critic’s response. She should write her own version of the Heroines and have a good time!
