The Soccer Mom of 2004 has been updated this election cycle into her colder more pugilistic sister, Sarah the Hockey Mom. But alas for me, I am still longing to see the Art Mom.

Contrary to Mrs. Palin's shrill declarations, Joe Six-Packs and Pop Warner Moms are a lot more complicated than the potential VP's "We's Just Simple-Folk Populism" road show would lead one to believe.

I don't want someone who believes their biggest asset is that they know what it's like to shop at WalMart and take their kids to hockey practice in a mini-van. How will that help in negotiations and diplomatic missions with other heads of state?
