I voted this way because if the world ends in 2012, her election seems more feasible a reason than the singularity

How come 'batshit fucking crazy' isn't one of the choices? I feel cheated.

No, really, there's two choices, "Batshit Crazy" and "Bugfuck Nuts"[*]. I'm actually in the Bugfuck Nuts contingent, myself, but I could be convinced that she's Batshit Crazy, too.

I can not believe the shoddy, shoddy reporting on this.
She quit before the state could hit her with articles of impeachment for the shennanigans with the Ex-brother-in-law.

That's it. It is the only reason, and she should be plauged with it until whatever tiny light her career still has is fully, completely,and righteously extinguished.

That's one of two independent rumors going around the web. The other one has to do with the Wasilla Sports Complex. I give them both about the same level of credibility.

I heard another option this afternoon:
"The Republican Oprah"

You missed nervous breakdown, Fox news cashout, and selfish bitch.

Did you read "The Handmaids Tale"? Palin reminds me so much of Serena Joy.

I'm betting she goes on a lot of carefully-staged speaking tours & gets the country all riled up to go back to Biblical Values--women in the home, makin babies, cooking, and cleaning, and men doing Gods Work in the World.

Slacktivist has an amusing take.

The intarwebs rumor I saw (on an Alaskan blog I cannot find now, darnit) is that she's been having a affair since sometime last fall & it was about to come out.

I figured -- I voted for Federal Indictments, just because I'm about 60/40 split on *which* I think it is. I mentioned it only in the context of the other internet rumors cited.

In any case, I'm deeeeeelighted she's outta here!

Palin's follies in Alaska have cost the state nearly a third of a million dollars!!!!11!1!! eleventy!

That's such a measly handful of pennies compared to the TRILLIONS Obama has thrown at the corrupt and evil bank & auto industries...it hardly seems worth mentioning. a third of a million. Hell, I could make that standing at the corner of Ben White and I-35 for a couple hours.

OK. My phone's been on the charger for a bit; I didn't realize it was dead till yesterday sometime.
