“It’s like a really bad Disney movie.”

“I mean does she really? I mean I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. That’s an important…I want to know that I really do.  Because she’s going to have the nuclear codes…you know…or if she bans books or banned books, because, you know, we can’t have that.”

I come from a  politically charged and openly Republican family.  That being said, I have opted to stay out of politics for most of my life.  I would like to get personally fired up about voting this election, but I’m finding it extremely difficult.  At this point, putting Matt Damon in office may not be such a bad idea…he’s handsome, well connected, and smart enough to know about the Mesozoic era (which ran from 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago, in case you’re wondering).

Favorite email of the day: Jonah Green, video producer at New York Magazine, and Sam Henig, a writer for Newsweek and Slate are throwing a Sarah Palin look-alike contest/party this weekend. The contest will be judged by Max Short of GQ and catapults these three into my heart.  Their email below:

What an inspiration. If not as a leader, then at least as a fashion icon. The hair! The glasses! The cute gun accessorizing!

In honor of McCain’s vice presidential pick, join us this Saturday for “Palin Comparison,” a Sarah Palin look-alike contest. Be creative: if you don’t have thick brown hair and Tina Fey glasses to work with, perhaps you have a freshly slaughtered moose, or a special needs baby. And what’s a hockey mom (aka pitbull with lipstick) without a few hockey players?
