It seems as if we cannot be free for long without news of Sarah Palin, the Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate.
Palin has become the center of attention again due to her media campaign and also to Ashley Judd’s denunciation of her promotion of wolf killing from airplanes in Alaska. It is perfectly understandable that anyone with any sense of environmentalism and respect for wildlife would think of aerial killing of wolves as barbaric and unacceptable. Hunting is one thing; aerial hunting sounds like something Dick Cheney would do ! 🙂
Meanwhile, Palin tells us that everything one needs to know one can learn from sports, and she reveals that she had a long time ambition to be an ESPN sportscaster until she learned she would have to live in or near Bristol, Connecticut, had she worked for that station, too far from Alaska, so instead she named her oldest daughter Bristol. One has to wonder is Sarah Palin joking, but on second thought we realize she is not!
One has to say again and again: Why, oh why did John McCain have to unleash on us a running mate who, upon further thought, makes former Vice President Dan Quayle seem like a genius, which he certainly was not? :) What can be done to convince Sarah Palin to stay in Alaska and do her job and stop pursuing the national media spotlight? Someone needs to tell her to give up her fantasy of being President, as she has no chance and, were somehow the people of this nation to elect her, it would mean the downfall of intelligent civilization!
