COL John “Jack” Sallee was a good man. Witty, charming, and decisive, he had a way of cutting through the BS. He was my Commanding Officer in the Army. I was sorry to hear of his passing. He prominently displayed a sign on the wall of his office in the headquarters building. Perhaps it was a warning to his troops, but I think it was an endearing, sort of self-deprecating reminder.
In big, bold letters it read: “DON’T DO DUMB THINGS”. It was simple, eloquent, and said it all—good advice for all of us. I wish Sarah Palin had met COL Sallee, or at least read his sign.
Hugh Betcha and the staff of Stoos Views have long supported Sarah Palin—for what their support was worth—in several previous columns. They defended her against her Democrat detractors, against the slander and libel directed toward her wonderful family, and against the mean-spirited, sleazy Letterman jokes about the rape of Sarah’s daughter.
Since her sudden appearance on the national scene, Sarah has been the darling of the Right—and many people in the middle of the political spectrum. She has many endearing qualities, including; strong family values, good morals, advocate of the unborn and those born with challenges, and a happy outgoing personality. But, unfortunately, she just keeps doing dumb things.
We all do dumb things, but we all do not run for President of the greatest country on earth. And, we who do not run for President, expect more from those who do. We expect a modicum of good judgment; comprehension of the great issues of our day; the ability to think on your feet; circumspection; wisdom; and the ability to lead with one’s brain rather than one’s chin.

Boy definitely has some problems.
LOL
First, it was the Saturday Night Live appearance where she made a fool of herself during the campaign by participating in various semi-funny skits lampooning herself. They were cute to a point, but mostly embarrassing and unbecoming a person who aspires to lead this great country.He thinks Tina Fey is Sarah.
Fur Shur. I’ve seen this error made in recent months on TV by people who really ought to know better.
Thanks. Little late in the day, wouldn’t you say, for Mr. Stoos to object to her October 2008 appearance? Especially since he claims to have defended her since.
Barack Obama was never vetted. WORST PRESIDENT EVAH!
Her parents never paid Canadian Income Taxes. If going to another nation is a support for that country’s system, then the foreigners who come to America for care should be counted as a sign of support for our current system.
Draw them in with the prospect of gain, take them by confusion
They are going to attack her anyway. By making these "mistakes", she controls them attacking where she isn't as vunerable as they think.
She was a child. She was not paying taxes. For god sake get over it.
