looks can kill

i am currently in the midwest, in wisconsin, and was watching some tv and i saw while watching some political item that sarah palin has had a makeover, wearing her hair down like rachel from friends, wearing high leather boots, generally restyled in haute. and then a campaign ad came on for mccain, and the picture of him in the ad must have been from at least 10 years ago, fewer wrinkles, less pinched. they are courting voters and trying to make themselves look all purty. but palin, in particular, horrifies me because she is sexying herself up to appeal to male voters, it is clear. and there is nothing wrong with having an attractive politician. there is something wrong when that politician has nothing to offer and she has not proven herself worthy of any real discourse on matters of importance. anyways, that's it. i spent today doing not much - writing a book review, then checking email, then playing monopoly, then playing mastermind, then helping my nephew with some music lesson stuff, then, finally, as the day waned i went outside. that is what this day off amounted to. it was grand.
