Grab the Money While You Can

Something is always lurking in the shadows. This time it happens to be a beauty pageant smile. It's a smile that sets on the dark side of human nature and appeals to the worst of impulses. If I didn't know better I would think Ronald Reagan had been reincarnated. The Smile's values seemed to have been turned upside down. The Aids crisis? Ignore it, they deserve what they got. The deficit? Does not matter as long as the rich get what they want. Huge unemployment and falling incomes among the working class? Feed them unimportant social issues they can complain about.
Just as Ronald Reagan fooled most people with his infectious Hollywood smile, Sarah Palin has seduced millions with her lipstick smile. She has sold one million books and has another 1.6 millions copies in the pipeline. Sarah grab the money while you can, I sure would. You will need it to pay off all those lawsuits related to ethical violations. Soon you will be reduced to the spiteful beauty queen you really are.
A certain segment of America has always needed a dose of orneriness from time to time and it seems the more ornery you are the further west you live. Alaska is about the furthest west there is so it seems like a fitting residence for Sarah. She does not fool me or most other Americans. Instead of the title "Governor of Alaska" her real title should have been Bellyacher-in-Chief, at least that's how one million books describe her.
Where there is a shadow, fear always lurks. Without fear the shadow has no power. Even when the fear wears lipstick, voices of sanity will prevail sooner or later. Today it's a book tour. Tomorrow it could be the Presidency. We all better buy snowmobiles and lipstick now! At least if we can't seduce the shadow we can out run it.
