..that it may be time to get the hell out of this country?

As I click onto the front page of the Drudge Report today, I almost browned my trousers. The unfortunate headline was in reference to the fact that President Obama and Sarah "oooh ma gosh" Palin will be attending the Alfalfa Dinner this Saturday night in Washington. The problem is that this is being billed as a possible preview to the 2012 Election. Are you kidding me.

This completely unqualified woman was not even electable in a useless position the even Dan Quayle was able to get elected to. That's right, the same Dan Quayle who once said in reference to solar power that " (it's) time for the human race to enter the solar system." At least he was as pretty as she is.

I think this ridiculous crush the right wing has on her must stop. I think the main reason that she is still popular is that all of the repressed right wingers feel it's ok to " interrogate the prisoner " as long as they are thinking about everyone's favorite hockey mom. We have to understand that this country is waist deep in the turds left us by Georgie-Boy's playtime at President. And you thought your neighbors kid was spoiled. ( Hey Dad, I know what we can do today!!!! Let's start a war!!!! )

I always thought that the Republicans were shrewd and savvy operators. I have watched as they have allowed their party to be co-opted by religious zealots whose agenda has no place in government. I have watched while they, the party of fiscal responsibility, have spent us to record levels of debt while making government less efficient and less effective. I have looked on as they made torture an official part of American foreign policy and now they are maneuvering to put in place another useless figure-head that can be on television while their back-room operators steal the rest of what is left of our country.

If the vapid and woefully uninformed Sarah Palin is considered a viable candidate in any election outside of Alaska, I think that we have already begun the journey which ends only one place. That place is the future where an as yet unnamed scholar will pen his seminal masterpiece.

"The Rise and Fall of the American Empire"
