Sarah Palin’s visit to Kuwait

1

Remember that whole debacle about Sarah Palin not having a passport until a few years back and how it was proof that she lacks foreign policy experience. Well, she only got that passport to come to Kuwait to visit the Alaskan division of the army. I know all kinds of crazy republicans get to visit Kuwait because they are the war-mongers after all. I just find it interesting the Sarah Palin’s first look at the world outside of the US bubble is Kuwait. Imagine not having seen anything but the US and Kuwait. Personally, as do most of us, I have more travel exprience than that and I still think what I know of the world is but a drop in the ocean. How would she be able to take on the world especially with a president that looks half-dead anyway. 

I am just maddened that the republican party thought it possible to get all Hillary’s votes by grabbing anyone of the same sex. And to a certain extent it has worked. But, to me she is the servile female, the one that embodies the stereotypes and agrees with them. She is the Uncle Tom of women. She’s anti-choice, anti-peace, anti-freedom, anti-gay and anti-animal rights. I mean how many anti‘s do you need to get convinced? Although the polls are never accurate, I hope they’re true this time.

Nikka Costa’s Pebble To A Pearl

Today is a special day for me because I finally got a hold of the highly anticipated 3rd (adult) album by Nikka Costa. I have been waiting since 2005′s can’tneverdidnothin’. Her albums always seem to come out at turning points in my life and I have cherish every single one of the. Everybody’s Got Their Something came out during my coming-of-age period and the sophomore album came out in a very transitional period. Now this one is here and I don’t know what it will signify, but I have in inkling.

Anyway, when I accidently met her this past June I could have sworn she told me it was going to be called Pebble To A Bone, but it turns out it is called Pebble To A Pearl. In any case, they are both good titles. She was very funny and had a great sense of humor. She was surprised she had fans from “the desert” and invited me to her concert that night, but I had a prior engagement to celebrate someone’s birthday that was very special to me. 

To me she is Alicia Keys without the radio slant. Janis Joplin preened for this century. I basically adore her sultry voice and soulful beats. I am having a first listen now and I am impressed.

We both had just woken up.

The album is a sham and this single change won’t do anything to cover that up. I mean the second single was supposed to be a collaboration with Missy Elliott because Nicole felt that Missy touches turns into gold. She hasn’t checked Monica’s career lately. Scherzinger’s voice is too melismatic, this coming from a Mariah fan. Sometimes she trying to hard because her solo career didn’t go so well that she needs to make an effort on this album especially since she got a second chance.
