Someone I know just asked me why he can’t stop blogging about Sarah Palin. It really does seem like a virus that’s going around the blogosphere… and I can’t say I haven’t had a case of it myself. In fact, here I am coming down with symptoms. Sometimes I have to sit on my itchy hands to keep from writing something about her…
The TIME article about Alaskonomics sent me off on a tizzy earlier today, as did the cover of today’s LA Times with the photo of Palin supporters lofting their ridiculous Rosie the Riveter Redux 
signs in the air as though she were some kind of champion for the rights of women. Absurd! My greatest fear is that all this attention around her, even the appropriately negative attention, is going to bolster GOP support. That this white noise of the blogosphere is going to devolve into the kind of thick, gray, choking smoke our current administration has been belching out throughout the last eight years.
The worst part is, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I feel better. Apparently, I, too need some kind of support group. Perhaps that would just further contribute to the problem… I did find a doll I can stick pins into whenever I feel a touch of the virus coming on…
