Election and other stuff...

...so I try to keep up with the US politics as I find it very interesting. One reason is that what they do affects our country economically so it's best to understand what's going on rather than complain about it. I know many people criticise the idea that we dig into the Presidential Candidate's backgrounds too much...we should leave them alone. I disagree. I know right now people are really wanting to know how Gov. Sarah Palin plans on holding it together should she be Vice-President. She has five kids and one of her teenage daughters just had a baby so basically she's taking care of 6 children. I think that's a valid question. I was working full time with a baby at home and found it very difficult and stressful...how on earth does this lady plan on doing it all? I realize that her husband may stay at home and take care of the kids, but I still want her to comment on it. I feel that women are equal to males in many respects so I surely feel she can do the job, it's just it'll be hard for her. I want to know everything about all the people running in the election...Do they smoke? Are they in good health? What are their hobbies? Are they're kids well behaved? What jobs did you have in the past? Were you a problem student? These are things I want to know on top of what they plan on doing for our country. I treat this like scoping out a Daycare. I want to know everything about a person before I allow them to tend my child...why is this any different? We have to trust that the President and Vice-President can take care of us and our children...so give me some answers...it's not being nosey, it's be cautious.

Ok enough of the serious stuff....did you know that there are 11,000 Millionaires in the Atlantic Provinces? I don't find that to be that many people considering that Ydot has about that many people for a population...magnify that over a few provinces and it doesn't work out to be many per capita. Sadly, I'm not one of those 11,000...but at least I feel better knowing there's many others that are in the same boat as me! I'm in the majority, for once...YAY!

So I watched the model show the other day and don't really understand why they think that putting makeup all over their face like a clown makes ladies look beautiful. I think the less the better. Plus, when I go to the store I don't buy something cause it'll look good with my Halloween makeup. Right before they're photo shoots, they turn the models into these crazy looking creatures and make them bend themselves like origami to take the photos...doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe that's why I'm not photogenic...I need to put makeup from my forehead to my neck in a polka dot pattern then stick out my arms and legs like an octopus, then smile. That should be my next family portrait. Why can't they just put nice makeup on and smile. "Smile with your eyes" is what they say...how about smile with your mouth? Why doesn't that work?

I think sometimes they do delve too far into leader's lives-- I don't need to know personal details of Steven Harper's/ stephane what's his name/ NDP can't remember name guy---- but I do need to know their stand on issues and their professional ethics and experience.
