Sarah Palin is the most adorable, infectiously lovable politician in the history of mankind
Lincoln Adams | October 3, 2008 @ 11:14 amSeriously, how can people dig up the level of vile spittle-spewing hatred that they have for Sarah Palin? It’s one thing to disagree with her politics, but hating on her like she’s Satan makes me think you are all completely deranged out of your drug altered minds. Really, get a life weenies.
Last night I thought she was absolutely magnificent. I watched the VP debate with the expectation that she wasn’t going to beat Biden on specifics, but on everything else she herself had become the shining city on a hill of dirty politics. Her invocation of Reagan’s famous “There you go again!” line gave me chills, and every time she winked at the camera… oh man, it was monitor licking time for me. 
I know, I need help. 
But really, she performed about as well as anyone who’s only had 5 weeks to get up to speed could possibly perform against a 35-year debating veteran. I know some weenies are whining that she didn’t answer many of the questions, but it was obvious the questions were skewed towards Biden’s strengths, and Ifill (the moderator) kept giving him the last word on everything as well. Not a single question on energy or anything that Lady Sarah clearly would have been very informed about, forcing Palin to inject her expertise on issues like energy policy into questions that were otherwise unrelated. This was the only time she could speak directly to the people unedited, and she took advantage of this venue as much as she could. With a twinkle in her eye and a smile that could melt all but the most darkened hearts of liberal scumsuckers, she exuded charisma and warmth such as we have not seen since, well, Ronald Reagan.
Which is not to say Biden didn’t perform well. I thought he did very well in fact, but the problem was he was lying his ASS off. Oh my God, seriously. Almost everything he said was either a misstatement or a flat out whopper of a fibby wibby lie. There was no way Palin could ever address it all, especially since it’d be impossible for her to know absolutely everything McCain had been doing in the Senate for the past 3 decades, thus being able to call Biden on the carpet whenever he misrepresented McCain’s record.
That more than anything though would explain her poor performance in the previous interviews she had with Couric and Gibson. She wouldn’t have to work so hard to remember talking points if McCain wasn’t such a damned RINO to begin with. And that was the problem, she couldn’t really speak for herself, she had to speak for McMaverick, and half the time figuring out where he stood on things was like trying to nail jello to the wall. It’s the first time she’s ever had to do something like that, and it showed. But she’s learning though, and she is learning at an incredibly fast rate. Her star is still rising, but she already is, in many ways, a superstar. 
I think what I liked most about this debate is how her family easily mingled with Biden’s afterwards. I’ve never seen that before, and it was heartwarming to see two otherwise opposing candidates warm up to each other like that. There was genuine affability there, and it makes me wonder, “Why can’t Congress be more like this?”
Ultimately, I think Lady Sarah succeeded in finally pushing the issues about her being fit for national office off the table. Now, the race is all about McCain versus Obama. It’s the final stretch, and the fate of our country and whether it can avoid the horrors of an Obama Presidency now lies in the hands of a cantankerous old fartsie wart.
God help us all.

My Fate Hangs on 2008
Lincoln Adams | December 31, 2007 @ 7:45 pmIn all my years on this planet, I don’t think I’ve ever kept a single New Year’s resolution. Doesn’t stop me from making them though. 
Still, there’s something about the coming year that makes me think I may be in for something different this time. The number 8 is said to symbolize new beginnings, and man, after this awful stretch I’ve been in since the turn of the millennium, a new beginning sounds just like what the doctor ordered.
Here’s what I hope I’ll be able to accomplish in 2008:
- Clear up my health problems and get strong again (vith ripplin’ mosscles to impress de vooomen.)
- Generate a stable income of at least $1250 a month via my blog.
- Get out of my dead end job and find a new career, whether it’s with another agency or by becoming self employed.
- Move somewhere else, either out of state, or to nowhere in particular, depending on how successful I am in earning a living off the Internet.
- Meet the girl of my dreams.
As you can see, I have very modest ambitions.
Even though my basic goals of moving and finding a new job are the same, they may be realized in different ways. I might settle for simply finding another job (possibly with the feds) and moving to wherever that new job might be, but ultimately I would like to be self employed, and earn a living by blogging and perhaps doing affiliate marketing online. Doing so would allow me to fulfill what’s been a growing dream of mine: to travel and live from state to state as a working nomad, where the road would be my home. I’ve never felt at home here, and the thought of being tied down to one job in one location for x amount of years is about as appealing to me as doing time on Rikers Island.
Besides, I’ve always harbored the suspicion that my dream girl was never anybody local, and if I were to find her I needed the freedom of being able to travel and stay anywhere. 
So, will 2008 be THE year? Time will tell, but it’s looking more and more like my fate will ultimate hang on 2008. As for 2007, I bid good riddance to that crapola of a year. 
See you all on the other side!

I’m alive… barely
Lincoln Adams | August 17, 2007 @ 7:27 pmI’ve been as busy as a beaver lately, but now that I’ve set aside a few minutes to blog here, I can’t remember what I did five minutes ago, let alone what I’ve been doing for the past week. My head’s in a fog, I’m chronically tired, and the whole world seems hell bent on working my very last nerve.
So, what to write about? Well, I’m here at my desk at work, munching on some chicken fingers and using toilet paper as makeshift napkins. The Eagles are playing off my laptop, and I’m just sitting here, wondering about my life, and what it’s become.
*cruuuunch* Mmmmm, good chicken…
Fridays at work always seems to be a bittersweet day for me. On one hand I have the office to myself, I can relax and surf the Internet or watch TV. Sometimes I’ll order in some pizza and garlic rolls, then chow down while I check my email and blogging stats.
But it’s also a day when the reality of how lonely my existence has become really sets in. While everyone else is making plans for a fun night out with their loved ones and friends, I just sit here at work, with only a lukewarm pizza slice and a dead cell phone to keep me company.
I can’t help but wonder if I’ve finally managed to dig a hole deep enough that escaping it has now become utterly impossible. This seems to be my lot in life, as it has been for the past seven or more years. Nothing has changed, and nothing will ever change. It seems the only thing left for me to do is resign myself to my fate, and hope something like cancer will finish me off early.
What a waste of human flesh I’ve become.
