I'd say that Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame should be up by now. Four years from now, the national Repugs (GOP) will discover another rapidly rising (and falling) star shining brightly in the heavens. Or will it just be "The Shining, Part III"? But what about Ms. Palin's recently purchased (on Repug credit, whatever that's worth, Bank of China Mastercard) campaign wardrobe? I have heard that national Repug activists were headed to Juneau to reposess it. They'll have to get past the Alaska state police and "National" Guard units that will doubtless be ringing the governor's "mansion" to protect her grace. And, they should be cautioned to remember that every member of the Palin family over the age of two is, without much doubt, well-trained in the use of firearms, and should have plenty of them on hand. Also, Juneau can only be reached by air and water, another potential handicap for out-of-state visitors on an important mission. But, best of luck to the national Repugs!
