Sword and Sextant

In great news, the NL finally took the fucking lead away from the AL, 3-2, bottom 2nd. Screw the AL.

Anywho,

Obama finds his way onto television yet again at a baseball game decked out in a nasty, atrocious White Sox jersey. Seriously, every Sox fan is a piece of slimy, stinking crap. All felons, as well.

Obama must have set some kind of record for being on tv at this point, right? Dude likes to be seen, that’s for sure.

Mrs. Palin is not quite done being heard yet.

In an important first step toward rehabilitating her image, Sarah has won a spot on the editorial page of the WaPo (congrats to WaPo for agreeing). Therein she writes a very nice piece on cap and trade, savaging it up and down. However, you can read the thing and draw your own conclusions.

I would say this is certainly evidence that Palin isn’t leaving the scene, if less than proof. I expect numerous Sunday talker interviews and a speaking tour to take place, a la Reagan before his first run. She must create her own image with personal appearances instead of settling for the caricature currently on display, and she’s at least making preparations for the process.

I’m not sold on Palin, but I do love her ability to play outside the “rules” of running for office. I’m looking forward to hearing from her on more important issues. Should she resurrect her platform and image, she would be a tremendous force in 2012.
