What's with the annoying blond girls?
I’m not super political, I just want my country to live up to the ideals that we profess as our own. You know, that stuff about all of us being endowed with inalienable rights... not just those of us who go to a certain church or those of us who think or look a certain way, but all of us. Call me crazy, that’s just me. However, I probably won’t go off on the politics much in this blog, I’ll try to stay somewhat light. In such a vein, I turn to this last week’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher with Asa Hutchinson, Chris Rock, Phyllis Schlafly, etc. Asa Hutchinson was fine. I don’t agree with his politics, but he gives a good interview. His very smooth in expressing himself, a true politician in the good sense of the word. Phyllis Schlafly was one of the two non-panel guests. Ms. Schlafly is one of these women who speak out against feminism, a condition which surprisingly does not cause fuse shortage in the human brain. I mean, if you're a woman and you're against feminism, then shouldn't you take off your shoes, go back to the kitchen and try to make a baby? If you (being a woman) really think that women should not have the same advantages as men, if you think that women shouldn't be taken seriously in the public arena, then, as a woman, you must shut up and live life according to the principles you declare. Susan Faludi pointed out long ago that women such as Ms. Schlafly avail themselves of the benefits of feminist progress while simultaneously fighting against it. Sadly, this incongruity of word and deed is a common affliction of those who make their livelihood in the political arena. Chris Rock was also on, but he didn’t get to say a whole lot... and that’s because there was Ms. "If I say the last word I win" Kellyanne Conway. She is such an idiot apologist for the Bush administration. She's insufferable. She's one of those people who won't budge a bit, even when the falacy of her argument is exposed. She seems to think that whatever comes out of her mouth is true simply by virtue of the fact that she is the one who said it. But what really bothered me was the fact that she always had to have the last word... always. So what recourse did I have other than to be completely catty and notice how she was wearing a completely unflattering outfit that made her look like she was suffering from hepatitis? Also, she needs to eat. I don't want to sound insensitive, but the girl needs a sandwich or something...
