In a test on Math and Science, American school kids did almost the absolute worst; yet when asked to rank how they thought they did - they all seemed to think they did a much better job than they actually did. Americans: #49 out of 50 in actual results, but #1 in self esteem. Ouch! Palin hit the nail on the head with this one...
“But in the wilder world, these kinds of instances of hard-truth-telling are increasingly rare. Instead of eventually confronting the limits of their inflated egos when it comes to paying the rent and putting food on the table, Americans are increasingly being told not to worry about it. Someone else will provide for them. I think a large part of the appeal of American Idol is the spectacle of Simon Cowell pouring cold water over the heads of these young people. Cowell can be a little harsh at times, but he upholds the highest standards, and something in us recognizes and responds to that.”
self-esteem = selfish steam

YES! Sarah Palin can sure write brilliantly. Her degree in journalism is shining through. If she can articulate her visions and solutions for America, only half as well as she write, she's going to sweep to the nomination and the presidency.
I think we're now into Week #3 of "STOP SARAH" (Alinksy style) and now I see the lamestream is going after daughter Willow, --- wild child and rumored pregnancy.
May God bless and protect Sarah Palin and her family. There is never any let-up from the lamestream.
I can barely wait until my book arrives!
The Tortoise and the Hare ~
a great lesson, it would seem.
One has humble confidence,
the other, selfish steam.
