Margaret and Helen & New Blog List

I must share this blog! Margaret and Helen are in their eighties. Apparently, Margaret's grandson set up a blog so they could stay in touch with each other, albeit in a rather public way. Their opinions have resonated with a much wider audience than they expected. Find out why by clicking through to their blog. (I've changed this blog a bit to include links to my favorite blogs on the right side of this page.)

Here's an excerpt from a Margaret and Helen posting regarding Sarah Palin. It's titled "Sarah Palin is a Bitch… there I said it."

Look. I am going to say what everyone at CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC is thinking but is afraid to say. Governor Palin is a stupid, conniving bitch. And it’s not because she is a strong woman - I like strong women… worship them… It’s actually the opposite. She is a weak, pathetic woman who thinks big hair, winking, baby talk and self deprecation is somehow becoming of a woman who wants to lead the free world. My god, where is Margaret Thatcher when you need her!

But what really makes me mad is the hypocrisy. She claims to be a Washington outsider and yet is the worst kind of politician. She will say anything and avoid answering any question instead choosing to spout whatever line or soundbite some adviser put into her mouth a few hours earlier. And exactly when did sounding like a hick make someone “more like us”. Last time I checked we were a country striving to educate our children to be intelligent and honest. I think I would die if my daughter came home from school and said something like “I gotta tell ya. Change is a comin’.” At the very least I would remove the Beverly Hillbillies from her approved TV viewing list.
