Pardon me if I don't watch American TV (or much TV of any other kind).<BR/>I'm just wary of inferences about character based upon ideological disagreement.Incitatushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07755304957861054440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288939.post-78382411127350952302008-11-07T23:28:00.000-05:002008-11-07T23:28:00.000-05:00Incitatus,<BR/><BR/>I call it as I see it. If Sarah Palin ever became president, she would make Bush look like a flaming hippie in comparison.<BR/><BR/>You asked how I know about her character? Well maybe it's the part where she had a smile on her face when the crowd shouted "Kill him!" in reference to Obama.

Nuking Iran would be the last straw--the icing on the cake, so to speak. We would have to be punished for that.<BR/><BR/>You also have a point about growing food. New York City has community gardens. But many of these gardens were shut down by former mayor Giuliani and now mayor Bloomberg. A President Palin would not have much more toleration for growing food.<BR/><BR/>I wrote this little piece based upon what I've learned of Palin's character, and New York City would suffer greatly under any regime of hers, dystopian or not. What I've presented is a worst-case scenario.Susan Starkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05502924049761676587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288939.post-5639453450988276582008-11-04T18:32:00.000-05:002008-11-04T18:32:00.000-05:00Sarah Palin is mean, and does not need to have power or authority in any capacity. She's just a ruthless self-centered diva.<BR/><BR/>Does that describe most Politicians?
