Two days ago, I saw Sarah Palin from about 100 ft away. She was wearing red leather. There was a motorcycle present. Think I’m lying? It’s all true. My girlfriend went out to a rally nearby just to scope her out (it sounds creepier than it was). And while you might not vote for her, might not like her politics, etc…I can almost assure you that you’d likely spend the night with her. She’s charming, and surprisingly attractive.
While I was present solely for the “fantasy” portion of the event, I have to tell you that the most touching part was not the action in my pants (oh the stories they could tell), but the unbelievable presence of those with disabilities that arrived to see Sarah Palin. Maybe I’ve lived a pretty sheltered and lucky life, but seeing so many people who are usually “invisible,” really made me think.
While we can debate over policies and programs – who is better, Democrat or Republican – for me, it was fairly clear that people with down syndrome, palsies, and numerous other disabilities feel like they finally have a voice….
I expected to come away with a few lewd stories, a pic with Palin (which didn’t happen) for the blog, and some funny stuff. Instead I was pretty dumbstruck by the amount of people who are out there that I never usually see. I know that lesbians have a history of invisibility, and watching another population finally come out of the shadows a bit was touching.
I know, it’s all emotional and stuff – I’m getting my period soon.
Here’s a pic of the Orange County Chopper guys showing off their motorcycle…I told you it was there. Though, admittedly, this is not my pic.
