Answering Sarah
I started to answer Sarah Palin’s speech point for point, but it just got tiring. Here are tools to find out the facts for yourself:

But these statements need answering:
This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesn’t just need an organizer.
Hard not to take that personally, but I long ago promised a post on the submect of community organizing and I’m delinquent. It will be up by Monday, in honor of my dad, who I will bury that day.
In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
Yet another character insult, and this one highly offensive. I wish John McCain has used his career to stay the course of change, but instead he is now lock-step with the far right of the republican base – the very same who have been running the country for 12 of the last 20 years, including the last 8. But alas, it was not to be.
What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet?
Frankly, though the nation may not be fully appreciative, if this were “all” that was accomplished – notwithstanding, this will have been a LOT to accomplish.
