A Post on Palin - Hopefully the Last.

It is with great anger and indignation that I read the media's coverage of Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump.  I ask a simple question:  why on Earth do we continue to care about what this woman has to say?

What has she done in the past eight years?  

Yes, she was nominated Vice President and became the face of the Tea Party "Revolution".  Okay, great.  But then she abandoned her post as the Governor of Alaska, eschewing service to her State and her Country for punditry and reality TV.  She's not a leader or even really a doer, but instead has leveraged people's real concern for our country into the only thing she really seems to care about:  herself.  

We used to elect professionals, statesmen, and politicians to office.  Now a good chunk of the nation seems to think that one reality TV star,  one self serving demagogue crowned by another self serving demagogue, is some how qualified and has earned the right to lead our nation simply because he "tells it like it is", even when in fact he doesn't.

Well, enough.  Palin's star is still on the wane, and hopefully this will be the last time she tries to play king maker for our kind of antsy, sort of unsure of itself, not really very Happy Republic.  I have to actually go to work,  which is something hopefully that Ms. Palin, if she arcs back her memories far enough, remembers kinda sorta having to do.
