Oh, I was referring to the Palin daughter (forgot her name) on Dancing with the Stars... but I agree with your post.
Bristol. I knew you were talking about her, but I think supporters see the vote as a proxy for personal approval of the mother.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gotcha.

My mother watches it and it consistently horrifies me. But I definitely agree that the Tea Party crowd must somehow think that Bristol doing well on the show validates their cause? Or something insane like that. But her dancing is absolutely sub-par. As much as I dislike her and her family and all their political beliefs, I'm a dancer and I will fully admit to good dancing when I see it. There is NO WAY she should still be on that show.
I am also constantly horrified that it is the #1 show in America. Part of me wants to be glad that people are being exposed to dance, but if people want to see consistently GOOD dancing on television they should be watching So You Think You Can Dance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
but if people want to see consistently GOOD dancing on television they should be watching So You Think You Can Dance.
But it's not on right now!
I wouldn't be surprised if my liberal grandmothers watch it, because they are both sick of horrible things happening in their entertainment. At least it's pleasant?

Did you cheat and get that from Jezebel?
I honestly didn't. it's just not a good picture of him.

I guess that's a fair point. But even when it is on, SYTYCD's ratings are far below DWtS, if I recall. Which is just not fair.
My mom is fairly liberal and she says she enjoys it. But she is constantly upset about the results, she can't stand the host, and seems more angry with it every week than glad she watched.

But I will give you Maks being hot. =)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I kept an air purifier on my desk the last year I was in the office, because they were changing carpets and doing other minor construction, and the chemicals in the air were making me miserable. It helped a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Any suggestions as to a good desk purifier?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think the one I had was a Honeywell that I got off Amazon.com for about 40 bucks. I gave it to a co-worker when I left. It had an ionizer, which I switched off, and a HEPA filter. It made a little noise but it wasn't an annoying racket, just the fan; it was "white noise" to me and it didn't bother anyone else. It made a big difference.
