Sarah Palin/ Tina Fey: I love comedians

So I find the whole Tina Fey mocking Sarah Palin on two consecutive episodes of SNL highly amusing. I know all the news people are asking will this damage Palin's chances, and what should she do for damage control. I say do nothing Sarah Palin, do nothing and let Obama be president because we already have a president/vice-president team that is a mockery and we really don't need a repeat.

The best part is that Tina Fey just used Sarah Palin's speech almost verbatim....the comedians don't even have to be clever to make fun of her! She is just too easy a target, I can't respect someone who is so easily a target.

So, did anyone else realize that Palin is being commerated as a good mom, because of her daughter getting knocked up and how Palin handled it or some bs like that. I am not a parent yet, but I firmly believe that someone who cannot run their own household with authority (or too conservative to tell her daughter "to be cool wrap his tool") should not be the one in charge of a country.

If McCain and Palin get elected, abortion will be outlawed (one more choice that will be taken away from us. ABORTION=FREEDOM. If you don't approve don't friggin' get one!), separation of church and state will be gone (let's force Christianity down everyone's throats shall we), no child left behind will not be left behind (if you have a child will any brains in their head you better make sure they get the education they deserve. Because Johnny Dyslexia is going to take awhile to learn to read. I wouldn't want my 3rd grader stuck reading the Cat in the Hat), and we will be in even worse of a recession. I do not wish to live through The Great Depression: The Sequel, because sequels are ALWAYS worse! (examples: WWII, Operation Iraqi Freedom: A Gulf War remake, George W. Bush, and Save the Last Dance 2/ Prince and Me 2 (horrible movie, made me want to burn my eyes out. Note to movie people if you have Julia Stiles in the first movie and you want to make a sequel. Make sure she's in it, because otherwise it's a waste of money.)

My brother recently told me that I should march on Washington because I am young, without a husband or kids therefore I can pick up and leave for weeks on end and not have to think twice. HA! Who has the money to do that, who can afford to miss work and classes for even a week? But if McCain gets elected you better believe I will be picketing on January 21st. You mark my words!

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD, VOTE THIS NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!! If you don't vote, and I hear you complain about the president. I will kick your ass.

So people are always trying to make science fun. This is one way to make non-science people understand things and make science nerds fall on their pocket protectors!

1st Blog

So this is my first time ever having an actual blog. I'm pretty excited to have a place where I can vent and say whatever I want. Yes this will be an anonymous blog.

So why is my blog called the sarcastic chemist? I am a chemistry student, soon to be chemistry graduate. I love when I tell people what I study and get the "Ohhh." And you know the person is either thinking "Holy shit what is she thinking." or "Holy shit she is way smarter than me."

I went to pharmacy school for a brief stint and realized that it was not the place for me. Worst 3 semesters of my life actually...not even exaggerating. I work in a pharmacy as a pharmacy technician, recently a friend asked me if I had ever got screamed at at work. I laughed, I've been screamed at so many times it doesn't phase me anymore. Now before you think I am just a bad employee I need to tell you that I've never been seriously reprimanded by a boss nor have I ever gotten yelled at for a mistake myself or anyone at my store did. People like to yell at us for things the Doctor's office did, the insurance company did, and here is the kicker things competition pharmacy across the street did. Not even lying, one day we were on the phone calming down an angry customer for a good 20 minutes before she realized she wanted the other pharmacy. "1-800-Fake Pharmacy? Why would I want to call them I am talking to Faux Pharmacy!!!!!" No lady you weren't.

I also work on my college campus in labs. 2 analytical labs (there is no misconception that the word anal is in the title. It accurately describes an analytical chemists job) and 3 labs for non-chemistry majors. Those labs mostly consist of nursing majors. Which makes me fear all nurses, I've been a tutor, lab instructor, and acquaintance to many a nursing student and some nurses. I will never let a nurse come anywhere near me. I apologize to the nurses out there that are good at their jobs, wear a sign because otherwise you are not getting near me! I've had nurses ask me what isotonic NaCl solution is...enough said. More than once! Plus I grade their papers.....yikes.

So I will finish up with a brief overview of what I will talk about here (I shall try to blog daily. See how long that lasts.). I will talk about politics and other hot button issues and my feelings on them. Also I will explain scientific things that the general public gets hot and bothered about like evolution and stem-cell research. But I will also tell you guys all about working in a pharmacy, working in labs, and general weirdness that comes with being a nerd and hanging out with nerds all day everyday.
