As far as I'm concerned, Princess Sparkle Pony is one of the superstars of the internet. God bless her sparkly combable mane and tail.

"What I keep getting from these rallies is We are the stupid and we're better than you. God, it's all so galling. "She's reg'lar folk." WhatEVER. I mean, I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, and I'm not proud to be ignorant because I'm not ignorant. I worked really hard, studied hard, had shit jobs for over a decade... and that makes me... what? An East Coast Liberal Elitist? I'm middle class, just like they are. Sarah Palin says these are the "real Americans." All the rest of us are, what, holograms? Not Americans? Get an education and talk in complete sentences with words longer than two syllables and you're un-American? Move to the city and you're un-American? Fuck these morons! Fuck them with their lipstick and their pit bulls and their idiotic slogans scrawled with elementary school tempera paint on Walmart poster board. Fuck Joe the fake plumber. And a hearty fuck you to Sarah motherfucking Palin, fake middle class Jezebel whore coopted by Bill Kristol and his cynical "she's our new project" evil neocon think tank.

I'm so glad these people are losing."

In keeping with today's sobriety theme: I was offered any number of opportunities to shut down, stop thinking and stay a dangerous cowardly thoughtless asshole. By the grace of God (I have no other explanation) I couldn't settle for that. Man, am I grateful.
