Back away, media. Back away.

I am really starting to hate the media. We watched CNN for about an hour on Labor Day, when the Bristol Palin story broke, and it basically made me mad. Intrusion into a seventeen year-old's life is despicable to the highest degree. Who gives a fuck if she's pregnant? I know a couple of Bristol Palins and instead of mocking their mothers, I just feel bad for them. I don't think her pregnancy means that Sarah Palin is a bad mom. I'm not going to judge her for getting married to Levi Johnston. Stupid horrible prejudiced Democrats would assume that a) Sarah Palin is a total hypocrite for being anti-abortion and pro-abstinence education and b) that marriages at 17/18 haven't worked out in the past. I wouldn't get married at eighteen. As a rule I don't think people should. But if they think they should, who's to object? Who actually knows if the Palins forced them to get married? Only the Palins (and probably the Johnstons). Since we are lacking this information, let us not run to hasty conclusions.

Gah!

I am also oddly pissed at NPR right now. Somebody was interviewing an Obama dude and was really nice to him and then they switched to a McCain dude and were really mean. Holy shit, does fair and reasonable reporting mean nothing? How useless is it if you can't be unbiased? There's something to be said for asking hard questions, of course, but can't you ask hard questions of both parties?

Of course, none of this means I'm going to vote for McCain. Are you kidding? He wants to drill in ANWR and ban gay marriage. He should be shot in the head. And Palin too, for being even more conservative than him. Actually, she's worse, because she's the Alaskan governor and supports drilling in ANWR (which is basically betrayal), and because McCain is sort of a badass, even if he's a raging Republican. And nobody can speak like Obama. He should be elected on rhetoric alone.

I feel kinda sorry for Biden. He gets no coverage. Ever. Also he has the hugest, happiest smile I have ever seen.

Nov. 4th! Vote Obama! But QUIT HATING ON PALIN'S FAMILY, YOU LIBERAL ASSHOLES.
