Your quote of the day.

[phosfate]

The national reaction to Jackson's death was false and overblown, but it didn't hurt anyone. Moreover, at least Jackson could boast of actual achievements. But Sarah Palin's bizarre resignation is another story. Watching her self-serving, celebrity-driven implosion, it hit home more than ever just how terrifying it is that this person actually could have become vice-president of the United States.
