Let Her Have Fun

I've been seeing an ad for a group on Facebook called "Send Sarah Palin Back to Alaska." I checked it out and there are a bunch of fans as well as your typical bullshit similar to the "Not Having George Bush as President" group. I guess I don't see the point.

Sarah Palin has waited her entire life for this moment. She has always wanted to be a media personality and make a shit load of money. Early in her career, she wanted to be an ESPN anchor which is why she named her daughter Bristol. She never really made it and got into the beauty queen thing. Then she saw an opportunity in politics, seeing that it wasn't much different than show biz, and she took it. It lead her to where she is today.

I think her job as mayor of Wasilla and her time as governor were just stepping stones to her overall goal which she has now clearly achieved. She has made 12 million bucks, has a large fan base who will believe anything she says, and stands to continue being successful. Yeah, she has no clue whatsoever about government, socio-economic issues, or international affairs but so what? She's achieved what she has set out to do and isn't that the very essence of the American dream?

I can't promise I'm not going to get upset and write about the outright lies that come out of her mouth (past, present or future) but these days I'm of the mind of...more power to her. And people that form Facebook groups to send her back to Alaska are silly. They should put their energy into something that they believe in...something that has merit...something that can produce results. Sarah Palin is going to be around a long time and it's absolutely pointless to try to "stop her."
