http://vagreatblueheron.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/top-ten-reasons-palin-resigned/
Why did Palin quit?
1. She wants to start her own theme park: Sarahwood. The park will feature a rollercoaster with one giant free fall, and a helicopter ride that lets you shoot wolves from a safe distance. Bring the camera for when you reach the top of the Ferris wheel; you can see Russia.
2. She accepted a new, secret mission. And remember, Sarah declared that she was "wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we're on, that you can't blink." So this new mission must not be the mission she accepted when she promised Alaska's voters to responsibly govern their state for four years. There must be a more important mission that now requires her attention. Perhaps Ahmadinejad wants a VP?
3. She needs a break. Remember that Sarah is a self-proclaimed "pit bull with lipstick," and pit bulls generally avoid confrontations and challenges.
4. She wants to spread Down syndrome. When, earlier today, Sarah expressed a desire for more "Trigs" in the world, I could not have agreed more, because Down syndrome is just too cute to be reserved for 1 in 800 births.
5. She's tired of being in the media. Sarah needs a break from the intense media spotlight that comes from governing one of the least populated states that sits several hundred miles from the continental US.
