Palin and Me: End Women's Suffrage. Haven't they suffered enough? Episode 9.

Sarita has been asking me for less and less advice on my political stances lately, saying things like "You don't understand," or "You're crazy," or "It's sort of like being a community organizer, except with actual responsibility."

I understood though. What could a black negro born in South Central, Los Angeles and raised in South San Diego in the middle of inter-racial volatility at his high school know about anything that wasn't dunks, quality vodka, or non-sensical non-sense called intergalactic mathematics? What?

But you know, being one of the most known and respected political advisers our world has seen today, I had to say enough is enough. Sarah, you have to set your pride aside and listen to the things I'm saying. Of course I'm not your adviser, but, you know, I'm sort of a big deal and that's pretty much the gist of it.

Recently, I told Sarita that a great way to gain some space on the polls would be to start a campaign wanting to end women's suffrage, since they've already been through so much. But of course, as it is with women sometimes, she was set in her ways and being "right" about the meaning of "suffrage" when it's obviously taken from the English root word "suffer" which has come to connote "marriage" in some circles, actually denotes the feeling you feel when reading this.

In either case, I let it go, since even if I was right it would turn into an argument about "not understanding her," and being willing to "listen to her perspective," and the last thing I need is this Ice Queen to be brain-washed by the Liberal agenda.

I think it's about time we start taking care of our women.
