Politics as masturbation

It's astounding but typical how the left and the right see the snippets of the first Palin interview as evidence for their different causes. "A moose in headlights" is how a lefty describes her, a description I must admit I rather like. She reminded me of the unprepared students I face in oral exams, trying to wiggle free of questions with memorized phrases that might be relevant. But others saw her as tough and some saw evidence that she'd make a great Commander-in-Chief. The united states?

At any rate, lots of extreme hysteria on both sides this morning in this wonderful land of ours. May the young first time voters show up in droves and give us the country they want to live in, and I hope the Generation of Diversity rules.
