Average? You call that average?

She remains a fool who dodges, flounders, and comes up well short of Yahtzee. She ranks her family among average Americans, but let us not be fooled. That would only apply if the majority of us were members of a family with a dimwitted and overpaid politician in the household. Where does this notion come from, anyway?

They found Steve Fosset's plane the other day. Every single report I heard or read described him as "Millionaire Steve Fosset". I thought his first name was Steve. The guy did many, many outstanding things, things which surely helped him become a millionaire, but things that represent the character of a person far more than how much money they have in the bank. It is truly disappointing that popular figures like Fosset are so commonly described primarily by their financial standing. May he rest in peace.

I think that is part of the subtext for our current crisis. Money is everything these days. And, as we see so plainly from the debate tonight, money makes bull shit walk, talk, and spray runny lies all over the room. I am not saying money is all it took to put Palin in her current position, but that it reinforces her skewed perception of what the real American majority regards as wealthy. She thinks she is average? You gotta be kidding.
