Everything I Need To Know About Sarah Palin...

“Men Wanted For Hazardous Journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.”

This, the most famous newspaper advertisement ever penned, placed its original author, Sir Ernest Shackleton, in the position of having to select the crew for an Antarctic expedition from among the 5,000 men the ad brought to his office. Comparing Sara Palin to the greatest explorer in history might appear to stretch the limits of metaphorical license...

. . nailed the following sign to her door

Did she really do that ?

The Shackleton story is a true epic and testament to leadership, he's been one of my heroes since I first read of it in high school.

Artistic license by the author, recalling the 95 theses that Martin Luther nailed to the Wittenberg door.

After a dubious beginning, I have to concur with the author.

Great article, thanks for posting.

The first time I heard her speak, I couldn't help but think "She's Reagan in a skirt."

She's proven that statement right time and again. She has Reagan's vision, determination and grit - and she not only drives the liberals crazy, look what she does to the RINO's! That's precisely what I absolutely love about her, and that's why I'll be supporting her in 2012.
