The reason they call it the Web is that it catches more flies-by-night than the aluminum siding business. Some image, poignant in its charisma or its grotesquerie, captivates the public imagination and suddenly millions of otherwise productive citizens must stop whatever they are doing and see the kitty trampoline unto the roof or the pea which sprouted in a man's lung. Some of these buzz arts are followed by buzzards, as 30-year careers are crushed by 30 seconds of crassness. This week's target was Sarah Palin, the former governess of Alaska, if that's the correct way to say female governor. What Palin did to cash in the wroth ire of retiring liberals nationwide was to roll her eyes. It wasn't what she said, it wasn't even how she said it, it was that she turned and gave a knowing look that amounted to a rolling of the eyes.

Her idea of a political banner was a horizontal horror about 100 feet wide (serving as a new sort of picket fence) bearing the legend: WORST GOVERNOR EVER. Sarah respectfully asked for a breakdown on the forensic method used to calibrate the degrees of worseness in the gubernatorial sweepstakes. The woman responded: "You walked out on your responsibility to serve your term when cash was waved in front of your face, and you left to become a celebrity."

I went to see an eye doctor while in Alaska. Turned out he was an optical Aleutian.
It was either the direct eye roll or the "Yeah. Right. Sure you are." response.
Thanks for the laugh!
Sarah puts the pucker to the libs every day.
Was he short - like a Nome?
Did he come skydiving with you - or was he Chicken?
Did read more at the Spector and all the comments. Funniest line was thought about considering Rick Perry as a Presidential candidate - “If Texans were meant to ski, God would have made bull shit white!” Well, He did - in the form of Bill White who is running as the Democrat candidate for Governor.
At the school I volunteer at, they have a saying: "When the door of opportunity opens, run through it!". Finally, my door of opportunity opened.
