  • 'Tis the season

    Well, it's getting along toward Christmas. So of course I was thinking of one of my favorite Christmas songs. It goes like this:

    ♪...Amber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday,
    Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay." [...]

    A fan of Sarah Palin.

    She's good for conservatism right now. And she's got more balls than most Republican male politicians. And more than any Democrat male.

    Would she make a good president? Well, she's more qualified than Obama. And she's getting better.
