2008 Redux: Sarah Palin


Why settle for being a half-wit VP nominee when you can become a movement? Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska turned FOX News talking head, is now the spiritual leader of the Tea Party Movement and homegirl is fired up and ready to go.

At the movement's first ever national convention this past weekend, Sarah came out swinging at President Obama, "how's that hopey-changey thing workin' for you?" (NYT) she asked, followed by "we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law."

Such spunk for someone who was barely a Governor and who is barely literate. If you think I'm being a liberal bully, I strongly encourage you to read "Game Change," which chronicles (yes, in a dishy kinda way) the ups and downs of the 2008 Presidential race with a startling portrait of Palin's incompetence and insolence.

As much as one would like to poke fun at Palin and her merry band of nasty Americans who see conspiracy and death panels lurking where other, more even-keeled citizens see an opportunity for our country to live to its full potential as a haven for freedom and responsible government, the threat she poses is very real. She's got an eye on 2012 and let me tell you, we could very well re-live a Reagan-Carter upset if the Dems don't wop this bitch upside the head.

If you thought the Bush years created a fissure in the American conscience, Palin and the Tea Baggers are poised to tear our nation to shreds, leaving no one spared in their wake, with flags waving and guns a'blazin'. While they claim to be looking forward, the group has no identity lest it looks back - back to the ubris of 2008 when anything seemed possible as the White House was up for grabs, and even farther back to colonial times. The Dems own vision and forward-thinking, let's not give it up so easily to a photogenic, preening ne'er do well with a shrill voice and hum-dinger sound bites.

If she runs, I think Obama is assured a second term. She just doesn't have the numbers. We'll see.

GCL, my partner and I are planning a vacation to Puerto Rico. Any tips on where we should stay, go, see, etc.

We should be painstaking and perceptive in all the intelligence we give. We should be signally prudent in giving guidance that we would not dream up of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to evade giving advisor which we don't mind when it damages those who take us at our word.

To be a upright charitable being is to be enduring a philanthropic of openness to the far-out, an cleverness to guardianship aleatory things beyond your own control, that can front you to be shattered in unequivocally exceptionally circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something very weighty with the prerequisite of the ethical passion: that it is based on a corporation in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a prize, something kind of dainty, but whose mere special handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.

Exercise ferments the humors, casts them into their adapted channels, throws substandard redundancies, and helps feather in those secretive distributions, without which the solidity cannot subsist in its vigor, nor the soul dissimulate with cheerfulness.

When it comes time to prep your house for your initial open house event, try to see it through the eyes of a likely buyer. Be certain that the entire home is tidy and that it looks welcoming. Turn on every lights in the house to make sure that each and every area feels inviting and warm. Where possible, do a little staging. This can include placing some magazines out on a end table, or putting a vase of fresh flowers on the [url=http://www.handfans123.com]hand fans[/url] kitchen table.
