Alaska funded Palin kids' travel

Oh dear - now you're saying she is a celebrity? Isn't that an accusation used against Obama by McCain - in a very sarcastic way - awhile back. Comparing him to Paris Hilton. Now it seems he has his own celebrity



.

Uh.. yeah. She is a celebrity. the definition of a celebrity is a famous or well known person. Sarah Palin, John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden... are famous and well known... They are CELEBRITIES. Whether they like it or not they ARE celebrities.

Now... that's not to say that ALL celebrities are like Paris Hilton (although she seems to have grown up as of late but there is no telling with her). Some celebrities are good, down to earth people... some are spoiled, high and mighty pompous boneheads.

ETA: I wonder if it would be better to donate and just sell the clothes in the store... or for them to sell them like they did the scarf and pin and collect the money and put it towards the shelter and the meals on wheels. I think selling the clothes and putting the money towards other things would do more than just selling the articles of clothing in the store. Imagine the money that they could raise.

The 'psychology student' (or former student anyway) in me just had to respond to the question of passive aggressiveness...


Behaviors that help identify passive-aggressive behavior:

Ambiguity
Avoiding responsibility by claiming forgetfulness
Blaming others
Chronic lateness and forgetfulness
Complaining
Does not express hostility or anger openly (e.g., expresses it instead by leaving notes)
Fear of authority
Fear of competition
Fear of dependency
Fear of intimacy (infidelity as a means to act out anger): The passive aggressive often can't trust. Because of this, they guard themselves against becoming intimately attached to someone.
Fosters chaos
Intentional inefficiency
Making excuses
Losing things
Lying
Obstructionism
Procrastination
Resentment
Resists suggestions from others
Sarcasm
Stubbornness
Sullenness
Willful withholding of understanding

A passive-aggressive person may not have all of these behaviors, and may have other non-passive-aggressive traits.
