malsperanzaBecause Palinsnark is what's gonna keep me sane til the election.
OK, so my weenie little retirement savings just lost 20% of their value last month, and that's not counting what happened this week. And Afghanistan is in a state of crisis. And in Iraq (remember Iraq?) the measure of success is that bombings, killings, and arson are mainly outside of Baghdad.( Except for a member of Parliament being blown up 2 days ago, but that shouldn't affect the progress of democratic institutions.) US military deaths are under 300 this year. Whew! Glad that's finally over!
The election is 3 weeks away, and there's still a lot to do. And I'm incredibly busy at work. the Branchflower Report on Palin's apparent rampant abuse of authority and ethics violations. (Yes, Mrs. American Values is apparently not real clear on the concept of "conflict of interest
From the Anchorage Daily News article today on the report of the Alaska Senate's investigation of Palin's use of office to harrass an ex-family member:
"Two other lawmakers said the governor and her husband's actions were understandable. 'Who is going to blame Todd Palin for protecting his family?' said Rep. John Coghill, R-North Pole. 'Not me.'"
Yes, I know that the report reveals that the Palin family are as nasty as any other family when a divorce gets ugly. And it reveals that harrassing her ex-brother-in-law was the first thing Palin turned to after her election to the statehouse, when she was still Governor Elect. And the report also notes that her husband moved into the Governor's office and was apparently helping to run the state. And it reveals that he liked to be referred to as the "First Gentleman." Yes, the Palin family is as goofy as they seem.
But what caught my eye is that there is a representative to the Alaska state senate from the North Pole. Santa votes Republican, which might explain the red suit.
Man, we live in such a cool country.
Elsewhere in the news, I was just thinking about how glad I am that Wolfowitz isn't head of the World Bank anymore.
