The Voice of a Generation, Smack Down Style

This morning while listening to the Stephanie Miller show, Steph read from what has to be the most amazing little blog ever written by an 82 year-old woman. It's Called Margaret and Helen's blog and it's written by a woman named Helen Philpot, who lives in Texas. But what's made this blog a sensation was a post written by the aforementioned Mrs. Philpot regarding the Republican Candidate for Vice-President, Sarah Palin AKA "Caribou Barbie."

Her post was entitled, "Sarah Palin Is a Bitch... There I said it" and she essentially laid out the soon-to-be subject of the Hustler parody porn, "Nailin' Palin" as a "stupid conniving bitch" who is absolutely unqualified for the second-most powerful position in the world. Here's an example of Helen's rapier wit:

She claims to be a Washington outsider and yet is the worst kind of
politician. She will say anything and avoid answering any question instead
choosing to spout whatever line or soundbite some adviser put into her mouth a
few hours earlier. And exactly when did sounding like a hick make someone
“more like us”. Last time I checked we were a country striving to educate
our children to be intelligent and honest. I think I would die if my
daughter came home from school and said something like “I gotta tell ya.
Change is a comin’.” At the very least I would remove the Beverly
Hillbillies from her approved TV viewing list.

For someone who's lived all these decades and seen so many things, I gotta say, Helen is just like my late Granndmother, Catalina Solorzano, who was a community activist in the 1960's and 70's until my granfather died in 1977. I can't wait to see what Helen has to say and I hope that she's around for a while because we gotta love someone who doesn't hide her feelings like this.

Go. Read her stuff and enjoy it.
