Shotgun Weddings & Family Values

MANIFESTO

The fact that this statement from the Palin family was released as the threat of Hurricane Gustav was reaching its pinnacle can't be coincidence. I guess the next wave of attack ads will place "shepherding your children to early adulthood without an unplanned pregnancy" on the list of things that clearly indicates you are too egg-headed, love Al Queda, and hate our troops.

For the last eight years being well-spoken, well educated and possessing some urge to approach complicated problems in a reasoned, intellectual fashion has meant you are somehow unqualified for the job of president. Clearly the ability to relate to an out-of-work forklift driver from a small town just west of nowhere in whatever swing state you need to win is clearly the most urgent prerequisite for leadership on a global scale.
