Party Hat

Back to the whole Family Guy thing. I know I said we should leave Sarah Palin out of it, but of course you know I didn’t really mean it.
I mean, I did want to figure out whether that Down syndrome Girl episode was funny or not, on its face (general consensus from admittedly biased GIAPH [...]

Sarah Palin aside, I’m with Whoopi. This is not funny. Neither is this.
Now, if I was a. a regular viewer of Family Guy and/or b. not the parent of a child with Down syndrome, I might find it hilarious. But i doubt it.
Be honest. Have I lost my sense of humor?
I’ll reserve further comment — [...]

Sarah Palin is Still No Poster Mom

posted Thursday September 3rd, 2009

This just in, from a friend who put “holy mary mother of god” in the subject line of her email about Levi Johnston’s tell-all coming out in the October Vanity Fair.
It is pretty juicy, according to an LA Times blog.
I have my own thoughts about Sarah Palin, which I expressed last year (was it only [...]

“Is Palin Mildly Retarded?”

posted Wednesday October 8th, 2008

I just noticed that today someone typed “is Palin mildly retarded” and that led them to Girl in a Party Hat.
I’m not sure what to think.

Yeah, yeah, I know. The Veep debate was THE television event of the week. And I was a good American — I did watch it, through my fingers, wincing, glad I was at a party and had an excuse to gulp vodka to numb the pain. I even fell a little bit in love with [...]

Sarah Palin and My Playroom

posted Tuesday September 2nd, 2008

I woke up this morning and realized I’m still hysterical, so I won’t write about Sarah Palin — not yet, maybe not ever. But I’ll dance around the edges.
Last night I walked past our playroom (once the formal — ha! — dining room in our ramshackled but well-loved house) and realized it looks just like [...]

John McCain, Sarah Palin, Down syndrome and Me

posted Friday August 29th, 2008

Ray’s last words, as I climbed into the car this morning (after admonishing me to not use swear words on the phone, in the car, in front of the kids):
“You are a word that begins with the letter H.”
Oh, he’s right. I am hysterical. I called this, months ago, as soon as I heard Sarah [...]
