that separates "homespun" and "Corny" - "inspiring" from "insipid" ...

Trouble is, most of the left, and the media, has substituted imperious cynicism and mocking sarcasm for honesty ,integrity and straightforward common sense.

Palin has the same effect on the left as sunlight on a vampire - a lot of hissing, screaming and writhing.

is not a laughing matter. She's as serious as a heart attack, and about half the people in our country are loony enough to follow her right into the "mercilous rivers" (riding imaginary snow machines on an imaginary moose hunt).

Don't worry about making fun of Sarah.

Worry that you can't educate those loony citizens fast enough.

This scatter minded shallow speech reader that should never ad lib has a career as a member of Saturday Night Live or Commodity Central or some similar outlet for the humor in the ridiculous.

She is right to get out of politics--even the frozen artic version.
