We're probably making a fruit cobbler for desert tonight (on account of its seeming more 4th-of-July-ish) but we should probably be whipping up some schadenfreude pie. I mean, is the GOP (2009 model) not the gift that keeps on giving? You'd think one incoherent governor press conference would be enough. But, no, following shortly on Sanford's public meltdown, we're graced w/ Palin's (as someone online put it) Hello Kitty diary worthy scribbled out resignation presser. Frabjous day, indeed. Like many, I suspect there's a big shoe about to drop. Other than that, my take-away is basically: WTF? Altho I guess one of the things we've learned is that in South Carolina resigning would be taking the easy way out and the honorable thing to do is to face the music and tough it out (and other cliches). Whereas up in Alaska it's sticking around and actually doing the job you were elected to do that's the easy way out and the bold and maverick-y thing to do is quit. (Wolverines!)

Happy Dia de la Independencia
