Palin Tonic

Some good things friends have posted:

Letter to Palin from NYC
She's a Lumberjack . . . .
Kris misses her Mama and leads us to the scintillating passion of Anne Lamott.

There's more, but I can't find it right now. I loved all your comments to my previous Palin post, and cherish p_zeitgeist's referring to her as "the Evita of the North."

Oh, wait - and Mary Doria Russell (and several others) sent this:

PBS has a poll up: Is Sarah Palin ready to be vice president?
YES is way ahead. Vote NO. Vote quick.
It will say something about our ability to get the vote out if we can turn this around!

I know that not everyone reading this is going to be anti-Palin, and appreciate the chance to exercise our glorious freedom to disagree and still share a country with good grace.

Oh, and the wedding was lovely. All the jitters are over, the cake was splendid, and there are smiles everywhere.

My Favorite Spam of the Year - and it's not even from Nigeria!

You'd be amazed how many people I pass this on to write back warning me that it's a hoax.
