Pretty good stuff, quite an accomplishment outlined there.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

If this is truly who she is, perhaps she's exactly what the country needs in the future. Now if we can just convince Erin Brockovich to run for office.

Oh, I think if you knew Erin Brockovich a little better you may have a different opinion. It doesn't detract from what she did. She did a marvelous thing (along with Ed Masry (never knew him), Tom Girardi (the most effective attorney I've ever known (hint - don't ever try to arbitrate a case against the dude)(another hint - he's a helluva personable guy. He signs his correspondence, "Love and kisses, Tom." I doubt anybody else can get away with that)) and Walter Lack (great attorney but, his arrogance is legendary (at least homey can back it up)).

But - let's just say that the aformentioned split a little under $150 million of the settlement. The residents of Hinckley felt pretty screwed.

As far as the original article, I think this quote reiterates my opinion of the GOP:

"Today's congressional Republicans could learn from this. The party has been plagued by earmarks, scandal and corruption. Most members have embraced the machine. That has diminished voters' trust, and in the process diminished good, conservative ideas."

EXACTLY!!!

Including several $Million in earmarks for Sarah's own town. She's had her finger in the pie as much as the others.

"Good conservative ideas" apparently include forcing raped women carry the rapists child to term (Source: Eagle Forum 2006 Gubernatorial Candidate Questionnaire Jul 31, 2006 ). Maybe the rape victim doesn't think it such a "good idea".

Anyhow, the GOP will have a hard time convincing people that it's changed its spots and that it deserves 4 more years in the White House.

Edited to add:

In 2006 Palin wrote on the Alaska Eagle Forum questionnaire:

"I am pro-life. With the exception of a doctor’s determination that the mother’s life would end if the pregnancy continued. I believe that no matter what mistakes we make as a society, we cannot condone ending an innocent’s life."

That answer remained on the forum web site until Sept 1 this year (1 week ago). Now it has been deleted, along with her other answers.

Funny, that!

I guess it didn't occur to the censors that it was mirrored elsewhere!

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

You are not only eloquent and articulate, you display a rare combination of confidence, humility, and empathy. Your ability to explain things in such a way as to avoid condescension, arrogance, and, most of all, elitism is unrivaled. You are truly one of the most respectable members of dropzone.com.

Thank you.
