…it looks like Sarah has a firm grip on the mainstream media once again. Personally, I don't know what to expect of this situation, so for now, I'll just let this article do the talking: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=7W92VW6N25A&preview=article&linkid=c1cf2ccf-39d1-4737-b0e3-77dc3081f416&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d

John–thanks for the link. I would have thought you would have enjoyed my post on the Seventh Day Adventists in Battle Creek more!
By the way, I think the previous comment in spammy. (Why does everyone lose their frakkin' minds over Sarah Palin? Is she really that important? Oh well–she's a useful misdirection for Dems who want to take the spotlight off of their pi$$-poor leadership in Congress and in the WH, and Republicans would rather talk about her because some of them actually like her and she's not as much of a screw-up as other Republican governors I could mention whose name shall be Mark Sanford.)
