Sarah Palin = Ultimate Volamom

While I’m no Sarah Palin expert, it’s not hard to imagine her as a Park Cities volamom. She projects that kind of image. She doesn’t shy away from her PTA president to vice presidential candidate success story. This led me and others in our newsroom to thinking: Is she the ultimate volamom?

Discuss.

Palin Does Dallas

Word on the Interwebs is that Alaskan Governor/Hockey Mom/Sportscaster/Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin will be hosting a lunch fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel this Friday. Tickets are going for a cool thou. If you don’t have the cash, then there is a cheaper option here.

I’m sure there will be plenty of Parkies in attendance. So, if you’re going to the Palin Party as a paid guest…or a protester, hit us up in the comments section. In light of recent Wall Street events there is now a nominal fee of $10 per comment or 25 cents a character, whichever generates more revenue.

Bonus Question: What’s the most expensive meal in the Park Cities you’ve ever paid for?

Thus Moms are Back

Remember the thing about using the word “thus” in regular conversation? It’s starting again. It’s a major deal in this one particular group.

I hope the head Thus Mom doesn’t read the blog. But I feel certain that she does, starting today.

The F-Bomber’s Fate, Will I Tell His Parents?

I was thinking we had kind of jumped the shark but the e-mails are still coming in asking if I’m going to turn F-Bomber in to his parents.

The answer is no, I’m not throwing him under the bus for the following reasons:

1. Though lame and only further proved the original point of what a punk he is, he did make a technical apology. Shame on me for not placing more rules around the apology that would get him off the hook.
2. Readers are right, his parents are probably the role models for such behavior and wouldn’t care one bit. They might even be proud of his independent, confident thinking.
3. I’m quite honestly tired of the kid.

The feedback to this column has given me renewed faith that the majority of Parkie parents would not put up with such behavior from their children. That’s what I needed to know.

Your Wi-Fi Exposed

One of my favorite parts of life as an iPhone user is the little box that pops up labeled ”Select a Wi-Fi Network.” It’s interesting because it lists the various networks you are near and they all have little nicknames. 

One network near the intersection of Lovers and Preston is called TheThinMan. And oddly, while sitting at a stop light near SMU, the phone asks me if I’d like to log on to the TCU network. Not far from there I noticed one called GeishaLover.

What’s your network name?
