Dig this.
My baby turned 14 yesterday. She made Pot de Creme (pronounced poh deh crehm), an amazingly rich, creamy, chocolate delight that the average 14 year old has never even heard of. But then, Girl 2 has never been average.
In turn, I made homemade pizzas (with those fabulous Mama Mary’s crusts I told you about over on Mother’s Balancing Act), Caesar Salad and that amazing dessert. The thing was, we barely had time to get the presents opened before it was time for the big event of the evening…
Drumroll, please…
The debate!
Poor kid. The adults, and even her older sister, were all foaming at the mouth, to see the VP nominees in action.
And I have to say, without pulling any punches, Governor Palin did better than I thought she was going to, after all of her recent gaffes.
However, having said that, and I’m going to keep this short and sweet today, at the risk of everyone throwing many a political stone in my general direction…but frankly, no matter how you are planning to vote next month…
The word is nuclear. That’s new-clee-uhr. We’ve had nearly eight years of nucular. That would be new-cue-luhr. Aggggghhhhhh! Eight is enough already.
We’ve had a VP who shoots his hunting buddy. We had one who couldn’t spell potato(e).
Say it with me, Sarah. New-clee-uhr. Now faster. Nuclear.
Doesn’t that feel better?

That is one of my biggest peeves about politicians. So many of them fail to grasp the phoenetics involved. No wonder we’re dependent on fossil fuels instead of “nucular” power. Meh.
dessert sounds great
Amen, sister! My darling husband and I just stared at each other…AAAHHHH!
I am with you. I noticed it right away. Maybe it was during her speech at the covention. I turned to my husband and said…did she just say Nuke U Ler?
I don’t know. I might miss yelling “NUCLEAR” at the television everytime someone says “NUCULAR”.
Things like this drive me crazy, too. But I also know that she won’t be making tons of public speeches as VP. I mean, how often have we seen Dick Cheney addressing the nation on national television?
Darn you, you gosh-darned elitist!
She’s a maverick and you betcha that means she’s gonna say it however she likes, not how those Washington-types tell her to do it.
Gosh-darnnit, get with the program, Princess!
