Cue Cullen!

A link to TV Tropes to elaborate, but here's the Q & D: It's in reference to the voice actor behind the iconic leader of the Autobots, Peter Cullen; and a pun on Cu Cuchlain, the hero of Irish/Celtic folklore. The idea is of a single person being the DEALMAKER when an iffy, controversial idea/person is being bandied about. In Mr. Cullen's case, he was the DEALMAKER for the Transformers 2007 movie for G1 fans as he reprised his role: Optimus Prime. (Not for me, though I like Optimus and Mr. Cullen's work as an actor overall. Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, is voiced by either Frank Welker(my vote) or David Kaye!)

In the case of US presidential election, the DEALMAKER for conservatives unhappy with Senator McCain is...

. . . Sarah Palin!

Senator Obama was to have his post-anointment bounce in the polls, only to be blindsided by the apotheosis of every 80s girl's dream--denied once already by Senator Clinton's own party.

I'm so giddy that there's only one way for an 80s kid for me to celebrate:



The name "Sarah", in Hebrew, means "princess"; hence the choice of one of America's SHOJO ACTION HEROES! (Although thanks to Overstream, I'm able to--to quote Emeril Lagasse--KICK IT UP a notch with subtitles!)

Now this is the hope we've all been waiting for: a break from Senator Obama. Now there is real change we really can believe in.

Yes. We can. (It really, really is a good slogan--and it's time we Americans take it back.)

= = =

And to the sad troglodytes who think a busy working mother can't handle a "disabled" child...



Not only that, but life will go on without any of you.

Later.
