If we were to make a list of the issues raised in last night’s Vice Presidential debate we would have:
health care
taxes
bailout
Iraq
Iran
Pakistan
Energy
gay marriage

Hmm what’s missing? Only the stories of countless people. Only what is whispered in the barrios: the fear, the constant watching of your back. What’s the word? Oh yeah, immigration.

VP Debate : You Learn Something New Everyday cuz Apparently Bosniak is a Real Term

During the VP debate last night, I was cracking up out loud at Dem VP candidate Joe Biden’s use of the term “Bosniak”.

Pero it seems that it is a real word and wasn’t a gaffe. According to Media Matters for America:

According to the U.S. State Department, as of 2002, the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina consisted of the following ethnic groups: “Bosniak 48.3%, Serb 34.0%, Croat 15.4%, others 2.3%.”

The CIA World Factbook states: “Bosniak has replaced Muslim as an ethnic term in part to avoid confusion with the religious term Muslim — an adherent of Islam.”

So far we’ve only had two presidential debates, and already tired of them. Sarah Palin’s performance yesterday wasn’t as bad as many expected/hoped. Pero her attempts to be cute just annoy me in the same way the other mothers at my daughter’s school annoy me with their fake ass ways.

Did you watch the debate last night? What did you think.

Pero even if you don’t follow the debate party online, Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, certainly will have us all watching. Will Biden say something stupid or racist? Will Palin mention hockey moms and seeing Russia from her house? Ay we can only hope so. We will have some analysis post debate (or the morning after depending on how the drinking game goes). In the meantime ponder this:

Leah Lakshmi: Thank you, beautiful culo-kicker. I miss you. We miss you. xoxox [...]

Link Cariño | Hissip: [...] Who’s your mama? [...] [...]

la Macha: I agree totally with you bubbles. [...]

Bubbles: Re: "Many women have mental, emotional instabilities which cause them to end up in abusive relations [...]
