Kit Walker and Lissa Urie have a band with Pear Wentz and Sam Beckett, and it's adorable. “We just,” Lissa fidgets a little on her feet and Pear shifts with her without letting go, “really enjoy playing, you know? I think everyone can tell how much fun we’re having up there, so it’s, like. Just try to hate us, right?” Lissa smiles at the camera and Pear turns her head into her neck and Lissa feels her mouth stretching wide and happy against her skin, and sometimes. Sometimes, Pear makes it really, really hard to be upset with her, even if she can’t keep her hands to herself.

icarusancalion @ 6:57pm: The antithesis of a feminist candidate.
 I break with most feminists on some key issues, but I'm still a feminist. I've been baffled at the choice of Palin. Her experience consists of being mayor of a town of 9,000 and governor of a state that has fewer residents than many cities (at 670,000 Alaska's entire population is little more than the population of Seattle). Obviously she's just on the ticket because she's a woman -- but why her? I looked on Wikipedia and there are certainly female Republican senators. There's Kay Bailey Hutchison who according to Peggy Noonan (former speech writer for Reagan and conservative commentator) was one of the top contenders. There are women Republicans in the House. Palin is certainly a conservative, but as rabidfan mentioned, there are plenty conservative women out there. Yes, true. They picked Palin for her looks, sure, because she's young. They want to get rid of the "old wrinkly guy" label McCain got saddled with among young voters after Paris Hilton's reply to his campaign ad ("then that old wrinkly guy used me in his campaign ad, so I guess I'm running for president!"). But I've come to the conclusion they picked Palin because of her lack of Washington experience: she's a symbol, a throwaway. After the election, she will be a total newbie, dependent on them for her political contacts. They won't have to contend with a (Republican) woman with real power, with her own agenda, and her own constituency. They want a woman they can put away in bubblewrap when the election is over. ETA: Making Light is taking apart Palin's "community organizers" crack. Yeah, I bet she doesn't like the community organizers since they almost got her recalled by the city council for firing the librarian who refused to ban books as Palin wanted. Community organizers. Because heaven forfend that we have a democracy.

icarusancalion @ 9:08pm: Fish out of water.
Typed as I watched Palin's speech: Welcome to amateur hour. She's totally out of her league. She's not used to being on camera and keeps twitching her hands in a weak sort of hammer motion. Her voice is nasal and strangled. She's not very dramatic as a speaker and has the pedantic manner of a first grade teacher. Her hair is in her eyes. She keeps smirking at her own jokes. She can deliver a cutting remark. But falls apart when it's supposed to be inspiring. How is she able to kill a section on McCain's torture and survival? A well-written, should-be-stirring, but poorly delivered speech. She knows it's dying. Her manner is scared and growing dispirited. She's not able to hide it either, she just doesn't have the experience. The audience seems more professional than her. Ah. They've trotted out her family. That works. What a cute baby. McCain just came out. Oh, what a relief to see him. Here is a pro who belongs at this level. Palin is a fish out of water. More like a city council member than a governor. I guess Alaska's politics is pretty low-key and local. There's no way this woman could handle beltway politics.

icarusancalion @ 9:00pm: Hey, a friend met Rick Anderson.
Cool. I just heard that a friend of a friend was working up in the arctic circle when an MGM television crew stopped by their cooking camp. Apparently how it works is that they fly people up there, set up a camp, and then anyone who's doing anything in the arctic goes that camp for supplies and food. MGM was filming Stargate Continuum. She met Rick Anderson and the entire SG-1 crew. I'll let you know if I hear any anecdotes.

icarusancalion @ 7:55pm: The Republican pundits left the mic running on MSNBC: they are not impressed with Palin.
The Republican pundits are not impressed with the choice of Palin as VP. They goofed and left the mic running on MSNBC.

And these guys, this is all like how you want to (inaudible) this race. You know, just run it up. And it's not gonna work. Peggy Noonan (former Reagan speechwriter): It's over. Mike Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good. NBC's Chuck Todd: Don't you think the Palin pick was insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too (inaudible) Peggy Noonan: I saw Kay this morning. Mike Murphy: They're all bummed out.

No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political [B.S.] about narratives and (inaudible) the picture. Mike Murphy: I totally agree. Peggy Noonan: Every time the Republicans do that because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at and they blow it. Mike Murphy: You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is "no cynicism" and this is cynical. Chuck Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky. Ooops?

bandslashman_lj @ 7:23pm: Fic: Every So Often Expect Things To Get Hectic (Cab GSF)
http://community.livejournal.com/bandslashmania/842975.html Title: Every So Often Expect Things To Get Hectic (Or Technically Difficult) Pairing: Cab GSF, Cash/Singer, Ian/Marshall Rating:NC 17 Summary: Sometimes he worries about the fact that, within the band at least, Johnson doesn’t have someone to love in that way. And Marshall is clearly on the same page as Cash, since it’s his grand plan that has them all cornering Johnson in the backroom of the recording studio, once everyone else has gone home.Disclaimer: Completely fictional. Cash loves his band more than anything else on earth. All of them, although if he thinks about it enough he’d have to admit he loves Alex a little differently, but he’s been firmly filing that under the ‘because he gives me blowjobs’ category of love in his head.

bandslashman_lj @ 10:02am: Fic: Sweeter Than An Apple Pie
http://community.livejournal.com/bandslashmania/842234.html Title: Sweeter Than An Apple PieDisclaimer: this is totally and completely fictional Word Count: 1,845 Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Ryan/Spencer Summary: Spencer bought the lollipops to taunt Ryan with after Ryan pulled that stunt during the interview in Europe. It didn't work though; when Ryan caught sight of Spencer sucking on the sweet he didn't seem to be bothered at all. He just leaned over, pulled the lollipop from Spencer's mouth, then kissed him, running his tongue over Spencer's lips until Spencer opened his mouth to Ryan. The kiss left Spencer breathless, leaning back in his chair.
icarusancalion @ 1:00am: Palin's message from the holy Elvis: "the Iraq war is a task from God!"
Oh, good grief. Thank you, vulgarweed, for bringing this to my attention. McCain's token woman for his campain is a right-wing religious nutjob. And I'm speaking as a very religious Buddhist who reserves the term "religious nutjob" for the kind of cuckoo that advocates violence in the name of religion. Or in this case, the Iraq war as a "task from God." Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could actout the will of the Lord.
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." She's not kidding. She's not just playing to the crowd. She's a member of a church group that believes wholeheartedly in Armegeddon and hopes it comes soon, by golly. But in case you too feel that the Iraq war is a holy war, there's also her... oh, joy... book banning to take into consideration. No shit. ...as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time showthat Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor. Retaliation against the librarian is an endearing touch. The point of the Palin nomination is to secure the support of the far, far, far, far, far religious right. Lest we forget: her church is connected to hate groups gunning for a "racial holy war" and abortion clinic bombers. From 1992-1996 Palin was a card-carrying member of the "Constitution Party," a political group whose members crosspolinate with the racist League of the South. I despise McCain for offering this woman up as a substitute for Hillary Clinton. I used to like the guy. I thought of him as different from the rest of the GOP, a tempermental fireball sitting uneasily at its head... round peg... square party. But this VP pick? Palin is one step up from offering us the bag lady who receives messages from Elvis.
