[Navy Patriot]

I can't find much to disagree with here, D. R. Tucker has hit a lot of good points, I especially like this, it is the essence of my tagline, which is new this morning before this thread was posted:

Palin is a beauty—not just in a physical sense, but in a political sense as well. She holds out hope that the Republican Party could actually re-embrace fiscal and social conservatism without coming across to non-Republicans as 1980s throwbacks. In Palin, the GOP finally has a chance to actually bring the Reagan vision into the 21st century.

[The people have spoken]

Excellent points, except: “... comparing The Silence of the Lambs to Hannibal.”

I preferred Hannibal.
