Sarah Palin is eating into my productivity...

[sfwriter]

I mean seriously, there is some new and often riotously funny revelation hourly. I am weak and have to check DU constantly now. I can't live this way.

[XemaSab]

I just got off the phone with the boss and there were some awkward pauses there when he asked how much progress I'd made on the report. :o

13. It's a soap opera

I keep coming back to see how the plot thickens, too.

[Misskittycat]

14. Same here. I haven't gotten any work done for days.

[jberryhill]

15. You are not alone

[yellowdogintexas]

[Raksha]

18. It's a relief to know I'm not alone.

I guess addiction loves company! It's all very weird because I've never even been a soap opera junkie.

19. I know what you mean. You couldn't make this shit up!

I knew that this country went down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass when they first put a Borax soap salesman in the white house -- but at least they had the presence of mind to put him in the governors mansion of California first. Now look where we are -- eight fucking years of a faux cow-poke to be followed by the randy mcsame and granny lovechild show? After 9/11 I wondered how we all ended up inside a spy novel but now it looks like it is only national enquirer after all.
