Sarah Palin needs a jolt of something

By now everyone has surely seen the infamous “turkey interview”—the one in which Sarah Palin pardons a turkey before Thanksgiving and then proceeds to give another of her aw-shucks interviews while other turkeys are being slaughtered in the background.

But it's what Sarah is sayin’ in her interviews that really caught my attention. She is still sayin’ that the solution to America's problems is for “government to get outta the way.”

Hey, Sarah, wake up and smell the coffee! It's clear to just about everyone else, even your fellow Republicans, that a big part of the blame for the country's economic situation rests with the government for stayin’ out of the way. Just about everyone else has seen that totally unregulated free-marketism (is there such a word?) has been a disaster.

Now, there are some things I wish the government would stay out of. My bedroom, for example. Unfortunately, those are the areas that Palin and her ilk want the government to interfere in.
