More love for Michelle

Deepak Chopra on what Sarah Palin represents (via Ariel Gore):
In psychological terms the shadow is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations, virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of “the other.” For millions of Americans, Obama triggers those feelings, but they don’t want to express them. He is calling for us to reach for our higher selves, and frankly, that stirs up hidden reactions of an unsavory kind.
And here’s Michelle Obama blogging (!) about Lilly Ledbetter and equal pay (via Web-Goddess).
(Sorry for getting all poli-blog lately but I have never felt so passionately about an election as I do right now. Plus it’s a well-established fact that I *love* Michelle Obama. Maybe even more than I love her husband. We’ll return to our regularly scheduled narcissistic programming soon.)

Very astute. I’ve marveled at Palin’s attraction for some people. Their logic can be summed up with, “She’s a mom! And average! Like me! But pretty!” I’m pretty average too, but I’m in no way delusional enough to think I should be VP of the most powerful country on the planet.
This is why the whole Muslim issue has been so effective. People don’t want to come right out and say they won’t vote for him simply because he’s black, so now they have an excuse.
