Two hundred thirty-three years ago a bunch of white insurgent terrorist from backwater colonies had the audacity to declare their independence from the greatest nation on earth. If these terrorists did not have France as an ally to supply weapons and money, we’d all be speaking English right now. Oh wait. We’d probably have different accents, spell color with a ‘u’ in it, drive on the left and have the Queen on our money.

Only in America do we find Sarah Palin in the news again. What a quitter. As I said here or somewhere when McCain picked her as his running mate last year this is either incredibly stupid or a brilliant maneuver for the White House. In the campaign she touted her being governor of the largest state (in land area and moose but not people) as qualification for veep or president when old man McCain kicks it. But now she’s quitting early with a typical Sarah Palin reason — she doesn’t want to serve out a lame duck term by being a lame duck. She’s probably going to get very rich speaking to her ‘base’ of ‘real Americans’ like we saw in the campaign. You know all those hate filled xenophobic rednecks in Ohio and Pennsylvania. She’ll probably also get a show on FoxNews providing deep insights into the world in ways only Sarah Palin can. Then, when her country needs her most, God will tell her to run against Barack Hussein Obama. The other possibility is she or one of her brood is knocked up again.

Also, only in America can I read in the Austin paper that Joe the Plumber was in town yesterday at a ‘tea party’. The paper said there were many in the audience dressed red,white and blue. But there were all people with ’secede’ signs and complaining about government spending. The event was in a public park that is maintained by government spending.

I was really hoping that we wouldn’t hear of these characters after November. But they are still around rallying up these “patriots” and getting crazy people even crazier. With the US flag in one hand and the bible in the other, they get people riled up. Which is fun to point and laugh at but these crazy people also tend to have guns. God Bless America!
