Sarah Palin? What was McCain thinking? Has he gone totally senile? This is possibly the worst veep choice since Bush Sr.'s idiot-deer-in-the-headlights Dan Quayle. From what I understand, Palin's a very conservative right-wing pro-life nut-case, with a mere two years experience as a governor of Alaska, and zero foreign policy experience, who is hell-bent to drill for oil in Alaska. Jezzus! Part of me is smiling, because I think this will effectively hand the election to Obama. The plot thickens . . .

Alas, I think that very conservative right-wing pro-life (ahem) is exactly what McCain was thinking in order to mollify the social conservatives that are the GOP's bread and butter and votes.
In poetry news, the staceybro story found some resolution (and I very much appreciated your balanced look at the uproar), and cheers to great art and FBP.
Palin is pro-choice, anti-gay and a gun toting Christian right winger. We don't need her anywhere near the White House. Fingers crossed the ethics investigation finds her guilty.
