A story in the LA Times Wed., Oct. 1, 2008, reported on a division among Evangelicals about what constitutes a wifely role. Some say, that because Mr. Palin agrees, it is okay for his wife, Sarah, to work outside the home. This is because Evangelical teachings insist that the woman be submissive to her husband in all things, that her role (the role of all woman) is to be home with the children, etc. (ad nauseum).

I don’t know if the Evangelicals will will ever figure this one out. It’s ironic that in this one instance, I wish Mr. Palin would “forbid” his wife to run for VP.

I have received a couple of brilliant videos (one about the financial crisis and one about politicians in general) that I would like to put onto my blog and am still trying to figure out how to do it. The upload image space won’t accept a video. Where do I put it? In the body of the text space? Help.

I also have some photos of the Palin family cavorting in their home and backyard that highlight all their excesses (vulgar humor, "funny" stuff with bottles of booze, the girls rolling their eyes and touching tongues) and the phrase that comes to mind is “white trash”. What a presidential family this would be. And there is also the photo of Palin in her July 4th American-flag bathing suit, showing (yes, me, the libertine, is saying this) altogether more of her than I ever wanted to see. I forgot where I stored them. If I find them, I will post.

Post debate, I thought she did better than I thought she would. However, Joe Biden was wonderful and very polished. Ted liked her folksiness but I didn't but of course he thought Biden was absolutely Presidential.

I agree with John. Sometimes, I think that a woman's strength is feared by weak men, religious or not!

Hello young lady,
I love the post. I have a feeling that Thursday night will tell on her possibly to the point of her reality. Perhaps her hubby will be there to catch her when she falls. I like her but I truely don't think she's ready for this.

Long time no see ya. I hope all is well and the island finds you warm.


Vic

I see you were blogging in the middle of the night. I checked on your blog yesterday and it said you hadn't been on in over 30 days. We miss you. I don't even like her. I like you though, you big lug. xx, T or H

It's hard to believe that people in the 21st Century still believe in that nonsense. A man forbidding a wife to practice human activity and being 'submissive' is more at home in Baghdad, Kabul or Teheran than on our side of the planet.
