Palin, governor of Alaska no more.
Wrap your head around this little bit from her, if you can. I know that each of the words is an actual word, but when she puts them together they just make no sense:
| The decision (to quit) was made in the vacuum of what was best for Alaska, and now I'm accepting all the options, but there is nothing planned. |

Not even that sentence, apparently. |

By Palin's thinking, merely because the sentence is unplanned is no justification to cavalierly abort it as if it were some unwanted fetus, or an unfinished gubernatorial term.

Oh, that explains everything. She's been making her decisions inside an airless vacuum. No wonder her speeches all sounded like they were written under the affects of cerebral anoxia.

I can scarcely describe how weary I am of that deplorable woman. She has become a pestilence in the media and a political dose of the clap.
But many Republicans -- mainly those suffering Bible-induced brain damage or frustrated libidos -- still want her to run for president. 
Me, I wish her no ill, just that she'd go the hell home and shut the fuck up.

| Haven't bothered to slog through it, but apparently she said that Alaska's best years are yet to come, or something like that. Well yeah lady, now that you're gone they can only get better. Probably the most accurate statement she has ever made. |

Todd and Sarah Palin to divorce.
Seems there might be a little trouble in paradise.
Affairs on both sides
Updated 10:22am AKDT
AlaskaReport has learned this morning that Todd Palin and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are to divorce. Multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage have confirmed the news.
A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin's resignation as governor of Alaska.
The Palins were noticeably not speaking to each other at last Sunday's resignation speech in Fairbanks. Sarah ditched Todd (MSNBC) right after the speech and left without him. Sarah removed her wedding ring a couple of weeks ago.
Sarah has recently purchased land in Montana and is considering moving the family there. Sarah Palin is originally from Idaho... |

Fascinating. I now no longer think that Palin resigned as Governor because of a major upcoming ethics charge. Trying to apply the logic of "political science" to an individual like Palin can make a person come up with wholly inaccurate predictions.
I now think she's simply too ignorant of politics, too thin-skinned, and too emotionally unstable to be able to remain in any public office. What a petty, vindictive, and ultimately self-destructive git. Gee, I hope she remains a Republican.

Well, ha. Personally, I don't care whether she is getting a divorce or not. But it does look like this rumor has little to do with journalists. The only paper that reported it as far as I can tell is the one that I linked to.
Now, speaking of journalists, how about explaining that "birther" thing Robb? What were the folks at Fox News and Lou Dobbs going on about??? |

I read about that somewhere this morning. Didn't pay a lot of attention to it because, quite frankly, I am bone-weary of Miss Sarah's shenanigans and those of her family. People get divorced every day; sad but true. Ain't no big deal except when the property is divvied up.
Will she get un-hitched? I dunno. Or care.

Well; that'd definitively explain it.
A whole dual hankie-pankie related divorce would certainly seriously damage the image she cultivated for herself.
We'll see, if it is real, it will be all over the media in no-time (because salacious sure do sell).
But... who knew 'nailin' Palin was actually a documentary!' |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
