How I Predicted Sarah Palin's Debate Performance
All day I've been accepting congratulations (well, mostly from myself) about my eerie prediction about Sarah Palin's performance in the debate. On the Monday before the debate on Wednesday, I wrote of Gov. Palin's surprising proficiency in foreign and domestic policy.
"Gov. Palin's surprising performance," I wrote, "began with the first question, 'How will Uyghur nationalism affect the future of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement?'" Gov. Palin responded with a detailed history of separatism in Xinjiang province and a list of the home regions of Uyghur farmers, from Kashgaria to Uyghurstan. She then winked at the camera and said, "Gotcha!"
I got the wink right, but missed on the Uyghurs.
I may also have been incorrect with my inference that Palin's agility would be the result of a brain transplant.
But what do you think is under all that hair? And did you see the pictures in the New York Times of the so-called "Beehive" salon she frequents? Nice place to hide a secret laboratory, I figure.
So you heard it here first--if Sarah Palin turns out to be an alien, or the product of a freak experiment, I get the credit, OK?

I believe Palin made her points clear. "Paying taxes is not patriotic. Government gets in the way and should not be in the lives of the people." Saying that to me is TOTALLY not patriotic. That statement sounds to me to be very anti-government and is bordering upon treason. It is ones duty to ones country to pay your taxes and to follow the laws set forth by the government of that country.
I guess you never picked up a history book and realized how this country was born?
If it was patritotic to pay your taxes and always follow whatever ridiculous laws the government mandates there wouldn't be a USA right now. I guess you forgot about that little point. The Founding Fathers were English citizens when they started the revolution.
