sadly, this is not a joke

This is the breaking news headline that I was greeted with on Yahoo this morning, mixed in amongst other top headlining stories about Maasai warrior hairdressers in Kenya and algae-dyed polar bears in Japan:

Eyes turn to Sarah Palin's glasses from Japanese designer Kazuo Kawasaki

May I please take a moment to remind the headless masses that this is a woman who may become the next VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (and yes, this means she would also be next in line to be president when Grandpa McCain kicks the bucket) and we're discussing her eyeglasses?? Who fucking cares where she got her glasses?! WHO THE HELL IS THIS WOMAN?? This is a woman whose existence went relatively unnoticed by the rest of the country until she supported the proposal to build a $398 million bridge to an island of 50 people and an airport, aka a "bridge to nowhere" (she later rejected the proposal after the state of Alaska was ridiculed for being full of morons).

She's the governor of a state nobody wants to live in anyway, she probably couldn't locate Iran on a map, and she's not talking to the media (although she did get rejected by Oprah - go O!), so apparently the best they can come up with is what kind of a fashion statement she's making. The media in this country infuriates me to no end.

So, anyway - Did you all see what Cindy McCain was wearing to the RNC? Ghastly!
