Goodbye, Sarah Palin
Seeing Sarah Palin go back to Alaska will be one of the sublimest pleasures of this election. To me, Palin was about prizing ignorance over wisdom, thuggishness over intelligence. She told the rural farmers of Virginia that they were the “real America.” They are — but so are the orthodontists of New Jersey, the professors of New York City, the biologists of Berkeley, the airline pilots of Seattle, the bookstore owners of San Francisco. Sarah Palin forgot about them. More likely, she never knew about them. The woman didn’t even have a passport until recently. Go back to Alaska, Sarah, and please stay there.
Thats very true. Palin and McCain failed to realize that although people in service positions, such as “Joe the Plumber” are important to the backbone of America, there are others known as the middle class that still exist. Obama definitely catered to these members of our very diverse society, while appealing to the Joes as well.. My president is black!
Hi-I’ve watched of your several book talks via c-span which I’ve greatly enjoyed. The restaurant looks to be a wonderful and inviting place. Happy and healthy 2008!! Peace to all. Mimi
