Pamela of "Atlas Shrugs" kicks ass

Atlas Shurgs
Man I love this woman. She is one of my favorite bloggers. Pamela is a fiesty New York City Jewish ball of energy who writes and rants in her right-wing blog "Atlas Shrugs". She has recently added a feature a feature to her blog, video blogging. Also known as as vblog. She has created short videos of herself talking about subjects that she is passionate about.

I tend to agree with a lot of what she feels. I'm not as far right as her. But I enjoy reading her work. Now seeing her video rants I can see that she is not only intelligent and opinionated. She is also good looking. Brains and beauty.... worth watching and listening to.

I crack up whenever I watch her videos. She doesn't intend to be funny. She is just being herself. She has a very strong personality, and a thick New York accent. She sounds a bit like Fran Dresser from the TV show "The Nanny". Except in Pamela's case, what comes out of her mouth is worth listening to. It is her mannerisms that make me laugh. She is so expressive!

In particular, watch this vblog. In this one she asks what I think is either her daughter or her niece, about George Clooney's politics. This part happens within the first minute, so you don't have to watch the whole thing if you don't want to.
Pamela: "Margo. What do you think about George Clooney talking about Darfur?"
Margo: "I think....."
Pamela: "Yea."
Pamela interrupts Margo and looks at the camera: "Let me tell you what she thinks. OK? This is what she thinks. She thinks he is an idiot. Alright?..."
Pamela continues her rant about Clooney. The look on poor Margo's face when Pamela takes over is priceless. You can almost see her thinking "Oh well... There she goes again. I'm not getting a word in edgewise today."

I watched this entry today and pissed myself laughing. She did something that I am certain she didn't even know she had done. Within the first few seconds she looks at the camera and says "Anyways. Listen...". Then her right hand instinctively flashes across the screen as she snaps her fingers to catch your attention. I don't know why I find that funny. It just does. She is so in-your-face. I like that.

Well I hope doesn't take offence at anything I said. I don't think she will. If I ever go to New York, I would love to have the opportunity to debate international politics with her over a drink. I would consider it honor if I could stand toe-to-toe with her.

One day, when I get a faster internet connection, I'm going to have to check that out. She sounds worth reading -- and watching. I didn't know, by the way, that there were any conservatives in New York. :)
