Exactly one year ago today, the world was a different place. No one knew whether a black man could become President of the United States. A pot free Michael Phelps was the toast of America. Michael Jackson 
was still sleeping (alive) with little boys. And that morning, one year ago today, 99.9% of Americans did not know who the governor of Alaska was. Exactly one year ago today, I sat in front of my 
television and watched as John McCain took the stage in Ohio with a pretty woman (who looked like Tina Fey) and her admittedly telegenic family. With my laptop appropriately on my lap I googled a name I had never heard before, Sarah Palin. I found out she was still breast feeding her 4 month old son with special needs. I found out she was a former beauty queen (runner up) with a questionable educational past. I found out she was a radical gun freak with no comprehension of the Second Amendment. And I found out that she was a religious whack job that made George W. Bush look like a heathen. I even surmised that she liked the TV shows Charmed & Buffy (supernatural though they may be), as that could be the only explanation for her oddly named brood of white trash babies, Trig, Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper. I discovered all this within 10 minutes of learning her name, and a yearlong crusade began. Of course at the time I did not know that her preaching of abstinence had fallen upon deaf ears in her own household, as her 17 year old daughter was pregnant with yet another redneck bastard. I did not know that she couldn’t even name a newspaper she had ever read. I did not know she would be crippled by 19 ethics scandals. And I did not know that she could see Russia from her back yard. In short she was, and still is, an incoherent mess! Oh, and she birthed Michael Jackson’s son Blanket! Some people have suggested that I rename my blog:
“Kids, Dogs, Sunsets & Sarah Palin“

Palin & pal, Yogi
From the Alaska Daily News on 8/29/08 before they corrected their website.
**Too bad Sarah wasn’t there, she’s an avid hunter and would have shot the grizzly! What kind of governor are you Sarah?? Leaving innocent women to fend off bears while you travel to the mainland to hob nob with the Washington elite!
Governor Palin even checked into a hotel last week under the name “Upton”, the same unfortunate name as Miss Teen South Carolina. Coincidence?? Read more….
And following throughout the last year with:
Imagine if McCain had picked even a neutral figure such as a Pawlenty or, say, Kay Bailey Hutchison. Yes, Obama likely still would have won (he ran a fine campaign and the economy collapsed). But if McCain hadn’t picked Palin, it would have been in a real nail biter. And Tina Fey would not have been named entertainer of the year, and we wouldn’t have had that turkey slaughtering video to enjoy.
That said, she’s still a dangerous radical who must never hold national political office. The fate of the world is at stake! Do you really want this moronic whack job anywhere near the White House or the “nucular” codes?? I know name calling detracts from my argument, but I’ve been hanging around with my 5 & 8 year old boy cousins boys all week and name calling feels good! Sarah Palin is a poopyhead!!!!
It’s also interesting to read the chapter on “Palinmania” and remember how serene Sarah Palin was before she became unhinged by fame and her fixation with her reviews, especially from conspiratorial and gossipy bloggers [CareyGLY??] The same McCain advisers who later turned against Palin were impressed with her at first, when she earned adjectives like unruffled, self-confident, tough-minded and self-assured.
