The Danger of Eating Too Many Cupcakes

In fewer than 12 hours, I consumed approximately four cupcakes on Thursday and Friday. I believe that the enormous amount of buttercream frosting that I absorbed in that short time frame negatively impacted my ability to think. It is a little known fact (because I just made it up) that large amounts of frosting can clog the brain's pathways, causing a cupcake abuser to harp on an irrational fear that the selection on an unqualified running mate (and this is from the crazy conservative Murdoch-owned rag, The NY Post!) would guarantee a Republican victory in November. (In reality, this victory is ensured by rampant cheating by tampering with voting machines, providing an inadequate number of machines in Democratic strongholds, and disqualifying voters for arbitrary reasons.)

Fortunately, once I ingested some protein and broke up the frosting block, I realized my silliness. While I visit my friend in DC this weekend, I will be sure to eat properly so that this does not happen again. Very important lesson learned.

  1. Have you been seeing all the little known facts about Sarah Palin on twitter? What, you don't twitter? Ok, here is one: Little known fact: Sarah Palin knows what you did last summer.

  2. This crazy lady told me she loves Sarah Palin because she's a hunter and you KNOW being a hunter is a qualification for being vice president. Dick Cheney, anyone?
    But, you are right, voting machine and sending away voters because their names are similar to felons. Not the same name as felons, just close. Dicks.
    God, I'm gonna have to get on nerve pills.

  3. Please let's hope that women in America don't fall for the insulting McCain belief that women will vote for ANY woman rather than a qualified pro-woman candidate. Then again, NOW endorsed Carol Mosely Braun's (sp?) bid for the Democratic nomination and she was so unqualified she once pissed off New Zealand (a feat, let me assure you). On the upside, a lot of women, and men, will think a mother of 5 is not capable of the rigours of the oval office, or that she is a "bad mother" for pursuing a political career when she should be at home with the kids. Disgusting, but if it keeps McCain from winning the election . . . .

  4. I have to agree with Mara. I mean if god forbid they win, will her husband be a stay at home dad?

  5. My dear friend told me to relax because I too was worried about women voting for a vagina vs. issues. He told me that this was a gift and I needed to look at it that way.....The best gift since Dan Quayle. That made me laugh. I so hope he is correct!
