Who is Sarah Palin?

The two examples imbedded here are amongst the few more tasteful Photoshop jobs circulating on the internet. Few persons have had a more visceral impact on the public concept of American politics than Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Back in September, if you scroll down a few blog posts, you will find this comment by me:

Palin's selection has led some Republicans to conclude that McCain is setting up the party for a conservative agenda for years to come with the Alaska governor's promotion and exposure to a national audience. Even should McCain lose this election, she has become a world-recognized figure. She will not become a trivia question like Geraldine Ferraro did after the 1984 election.

I was going to make a big post on this, but since I started this post I came across a couple of articles that express my vision much more eloquently.

The first is from my idol, Victor Davis Hanson. He says it all here.

The second is actually a pretty good assessment of what the future holds as we consider the likelihood of an Obama presidency. I don't agree with everything Mr. Taylor says here, but he asks some questions and makes some judgments that the adoring media seem incapable of addressing at this point.

I foresee a future, 20 years or so hence, where many people will wonder what were thinking...sort of like in 1976...

It is my expectation that I will post perhaps one, at most two, more posts before the election. That's about all I can emotionally deliver at this point.

I would hope that after the election (and I can't wait to get to that point), if I keep this blog going, that it will deal much more with cultural, and especially technological, issues going forward.

Thanks to all who have enjoyed this blog...it certainly has been unforgettable.
