The economy sucks

Well, that being said, here's some other information for you.

Top Obama aides say the president-elect is considering Hillary Clinton for the Secretary of State cabinet position. That WaPo article has a bunch of other weird crap in it about Jill Biden's chief of staff and Tammy Duckworth (woo-hoo!), but none of those items have to do with Hillary Clinton. But once again, Mr. President (-Elect), you have overlooked my resume. However, I now have an in with the potential Sec. of State. Nice. Anyway, although this blog is so much about me (that's my ego, folks), it's not always about me. Americans with vaginae/as from every corner of the country must be pissing themselves. Right???

Excuse my Sarah Palin support post from a few days ago. Because, seriously, if I have to listen to that crazy bag lady talk about her role in 2012 one more time, I might shoot something from a helicopter. **Careful, folks. That link takes you to FOXNews.** So, Stupid Sarah (no longer Scapegoat Sarah...my patience has worn thin) says a woman on the ticket would be good? Apparently an organization of her peers does not agree. Fellow GOP governors are hesitant to throw their support behind her because, well, she's a moron.

Bobby Jindal is another GOP-er elbowing his way to the head of the class. The day after the election, Jindal was already in Iowa. Some say, so that he could jump start a primary campaign in the infamous state. But, buyers beware - the major resume booster for him is his apparent forays into exorcism. Yes, he claims that, while in college, he exorcised a pseudo-girlfriend. Pseudo because he was afraid to physically touch her, for fear that a pat on the back would turn into - DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNN - SEX! His decision to convert from Hinduism to Catholicism means that he's a Super Catholic, and takes everything literally. And when a female friend became inexplicably emotional during her college years, she must have been possessed by an evil demon. It makes perfect sense. So, natch, he wrote an essay about it.

Real history was made today, my friends (<--creepy John McCain voice). Ann Dunwoody has become the first female four-star general. For being, generally (haha, get it?) AWESOME at military stuff. And in true female fashion, she doesn't want a big fuss over it. Apparently, "the recognition makes her a little bit uncomfortable" - so says her MALE counterpart and Pentagon spokesman, Bryan Whitman.

And, of course, the obligatory economy story that I didn't want to write, but have to because I know that you all depend on this site for all of your news (ha!). Well, Americans have stopped spending. And we're all gonna die. This year, Christmas might not live up to its purpose of getting people to buy stuff, and then buy more stuff to wrap/put that other stuff into, and then buy a pre-printed card to tape on top of all that stuff. Everybody panic. What? Just go to church and celebrate the so-called "meaning" behind Christmas. Are you kidding me? I haven't done that since I was 12.
