Sarah Palin: Deliberately or Accidentally
Incoherent?She doesn't want to be a lame duck, or a
dead fish, and she loves nothing more than
Alaska, but she's outta there. Huh? Can
anyone make sense of this? If Sarah Palin
has decided to end her political career, it
sounds like a good move for everyone.

Without Everyone's Run-for-President
Obsession, Palin's Move Makes Perfect Sense.Alaska state government gets to throw off
the distractions, and Sarah Palin gets to do
whatever she wants. What's not to like about
that? If you can get past the obsessive
notion that she must be running for
president, the whole thing looks like a
pretty darn good idea.

Sarah Palin: The Most Irritating is Yet to
Come.Not many modern politicians could call to
mind Richard Nixon in a good way, but that's
Sarah Palin for you. She wants a gig with no
responsibility and no accountability, and
she's going to annoy us to no end while
doing it.

How the Free Market Would Save the Michael
Jackson Memorial.
Tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial are
free. Hurray! Except that this makes it
almost impossible to get one. If you really
want to give people who care about Jackson a
chance to attend, let the free market rule
and make the tickets available via auction.
That gives everyone a chance, and weeds out
the lunkheads who just think it would be
cool to be on TV.
Rachel MarsdenHow to be a Horny Politician . . . and
Survive.
It's bad enough that you cheat on your wife,
but don't make it worse by handling it like
an idiot. If you're an horny politician and
you got caught, here's what to do.

Barney Frank: Certified Elected Crook.
Taxpayers were supposed to at least get some
money back for debt reduction from the
original TARP plan. But now Barney Frank has
changed the rules while few were looking.
What makes you think he wouldn't do the same
with government-run health care?

Don't Let the Peanuts Run Your Life.Making a
big change in your life often requires more
than just deciding to do it. Sometimes it is
necessary to entirely retrain an elephant.
