Cinderella After Midnight: 2008-09-28

If you were playing the Maverick drinking game during the Veep debate last night...that would be the one where you do a shot every time Sarah Palin says the aforementioned word...then you must have the hangover of your life. If you can't remember what happened...here's a little recap.

Lots of people watched last night's debate. Tina Fey was taking notes for her next SNL appearance. And it turns out that people overseas don't know the difference between Sarah and Tina.

Here's the state of affairs in Southern California. A place they've renamed "Foreclosure Alley."

I know it's still early to officially declare Oscar season open...but this guy is already compiling a list of Oscar-worthy films and performances. If nothing else if will give you an idea of some films you should be familiar with the start of the Oscar season gets closer.

I have been so incredibly stressed out lately. Between being physically ill and my usual bout with a variety of mental illnesses that are exacerbated by stress. So it was a treat to know that there are people in the world who are getting paid a whole lotta dough for doing very little.

Have you seen the trailer for the new Disney film --"Head Of Skate"?

Someone ate crabby corn flakes for breakfast and got a little confused when talking to the press early in the morning. I'm not naming names...John McCain.

Sarah Palin is excited to debate Joe Biden tonight and finally get her views put forward to the American public because the 'media has been censoring' her. Huh? In all the video bits that I've seen the media has been letting Sarah Palin run her mouth. Is it at all possible that Sarah doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'censor?'

Why is it that Paul McCartney seems to be dating someone age appropriate because she's over 45? There is twenty years difference in their age...but no one is calling him a 'cradle-robber' or her a 'gold digger.' She seems nice and stable...and must be a huge change for him from his previous dry cleaning experience.

I've been watching a lot of baseball recently with the Handsomest Man Alive, Part One. I must admit my mind occasionally wanders and I start to wonder about things that have less to do with the game and more to do with HGTV. This New York Times article answered a lot of my questions.

One of the most intriguing blog posts about Spinsters (can't someone think of a better word?) that I've read in like forever!

Here's a list of the world's best paid authors...yes, it is a chick on the top of the list.

"No, I just want to stay on, and wear the pretty clothes, and get made up, and enjoy myself."

The incredibly talented 82-year-old Cloris Leachman has got it all -- including an attitude that's hard to beat. I'm going to try to apply that to all aspects of my life. By the way -- Kim Kardashian, whose only talent is on display in an Internet sex tape -- was sent packing last night. So sorry!

I was devastated when I heard that my hero, Heather Locklear, had been busted for driving under the influence over the weekend. She's been struggling with a lot of stuff lately -- and let's face it, aging isn't easy -- even when you look like Heather Locklear. So I wasn't exactly surprised when I learned that there is more to the story.

Just what we need in the White House, a big fat crybaby who probably needs to wear adult diapers.

Is your blood pressure a little low today? Here's a great way to rev up your engine...Sarah Palin's thoughts on feminism and homosexuality brought to us by the fine chicks at Jezebel.com.

I hope Joe is preparing carefully for his debate with Sarah Palin. I am thrilled to hear that he's using Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm as his sparring partner. Woo hoo! She rocks!

And just so you know -- Sarah Palin isn't going to be the toughest chick on the stage on Thursday night.

I take this note from a Nobel literature judge as a challenge. I hope you do too.

Cinderella wears Leopard skin slippers? Well, just maybe. With so much negative energy in the air these days, I thought it'd be nice to focus on the positive for as long as possible today. So here's some chicks who should be much more inspirational to us than any ersatz beauty queen cum politician.
Poor Sarah Palin. She went from everyone's darling to everyone's embarrassment...overnight. And yesterday I heard her making fun of Joe Biden's age. A woman over 40 should know better...I hope he isn't nice to her just because she's a girl.

Did you get the email forward from one of your friends? Here's a little bit of background...
House Republicans don't like it when a girl points fingers and calls them names...but they showed her by tanking the entire country's economy. So there! I'm surprised they didn't steal her Silly Putty during recess and shove it into the radiator so she couldn't play with it anymore.
I had no idea that when I moved to the suburbs, I was a trendsetter.
I've just spent the past two months taking online health 'coaching' and playing interactive games in order to get health insurance from my employer. I can't imagine working for a company that actually recognizes that I'm a person...let alone a woman.

I'm so glad I'm swimming in your gene pool because you make 70 look so good!
