You're Invited to Ignore S**** P****!

[alivemagdolene]

From here:

We've tried debating her, arguing with her, boycotting her, voting against her, and yet... she keeps coming back. Much like a vampire or a nasty fungus.

So for just one week, we're going to try something new: Ignoring her.

...That's right -- February 28-March 4 is officially, "Ignore Sarah Palin Week." For just one week, signers of this petition pledge to do the following:

* Change the channel if she comes on TV
* Surf to another page if she pops up on the web
* Turn to another article if she appears in a newspaper, magazine, comic book, etc.

Will you join us? Will you take the pledge? If so, sign the pledge here, add your thoughts if you want, and help spread the word. Can we ignore her for a week? Can we get our friends, neighbors and co-workers to do the same? You betcha!

Now, we understand that it might be tough to go cold turkey, and completely stop paying attention to Palin. Thus, we offer these helpful tip:

* If a friend mentions "Sarah Palin," reply as if he or she said, "Para Sailing." And keep doing it. Para sailing is way cooler.
* For your dose of gossip, consider switching to someone far less annoying. Like Snooki.
* Visit Telling Sarah Palin She's Full of Crap on Facebook, and join 100,000 other people who will be talking about everything else BUT Palin.
* Refer to her as "she who shall remain nameless" for the duration of the week
* Have other conversation topics ready to go

It's that simple. We really can ignore her for a week. We really can help pop any trial balloons being floated for 2012.

We really can enjoy a glorious week, free of Sarah! You betcha!

Ignoring Sarah Palin is my default position.

Point the first: apologies to the spam on your f-list. I think I'm nervously posting as I get ready for hell day today.

Point the second: I want to say the same, but she keeps fucking outraging me (I know, right?) like her recent shit trashing the First Lady for being a lactivist (my word for it and I like it and lactivism) or how encouraging children to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly is somehow "the nanny state" (super classy, trashing a politician's spouse) yet somehow her daughter's "Don't Do What Donna Don't Did" abstinence campaign isn't.

Sigh. Sorry. I'm violating the purpose of the week. How are you, lady?

I am not aware of her doing those things because ignoring her is my default position. But those are infuriating things and I understand the outrage.

BUT! We are violating the week. :P

I am alright. Tired, in pain, etc. The usual.

I saw a pro-choice/support for Planned Parenthood rally in Missouri and I thought of you.

*proffers hug for the crappiness of feelings*

If I knew about one near me, I would have thought about going. And then I probably would have stayed home, because I'm lazy.

I'm going to DC fucking once this weekend, once is more than enough. (also there's the matter of not having a ride/someone to go with)
