Just trying to keep some tenuous attachment to reality.

The fact that Sarah Palin has a successful political career and is getting lots of acclaim at the moment does not make me feel bad about myself. I’m very pleased that she is our Vice President candidate, and I’m also satisfied that I’ve done the right thing (or one of the numerous available “right things”) with my own life.

I’m sorry her daughter did something she had to have known was both wrong and foolish, but I’m not going to have a cow over it. (Note that I didn’t say I’m sorry she is pregnant.) If my 17-year-old daughter does something she knows is wrong and foolish, whether it’s having sex outside marriage or something else, I hope I won’t have a cow then, either.
