I support Barack Obama. I want him to achieve great things here at home and around the world. I want him to have a Rushmore-worthy presidency. I want him to be so great that there's talk of repealing the 22nd Amendment. I want his birthday to become a national holiday...

Sarah Palin published an op-ed in the Washington Post today. I received a package this morning, wrapped in plain brown paper with no return address, identifying the following piece as the first draft of the op-ed, written by Palin herself.
