Things are about to get a tad political in the next few weeks as Elections '08 comes around the corner...

There has been a lot of flack on Sarah Palin (and yes, of course my opinion of her should already be evident here, if not scroll down) in the media recently. Should you be surprised? No, not really. Why is she being put on the spotlight? Because of her seeming ignorance. Is she really or is it only "seemingly" so? I think she really is. Now, now, I'm not saying that she stupid, I'm sure that she's a fairly educated woman, but I also think that a well-versed political science college student would probably out-talk her any day of the week in terms of politics and policy. What's so bad about having a "Joe Six-Pack" like her in office? Well, considering all our problems with the economy, gay rights, women rights, international flare ups, don't you think it would just be better to have someone with more knowledge than that? Put it this way, if your car broke, would you rather have a mechanic fix it or some "Joe Six-Pack" from the street? If your partner had a heart attack, would you want a Biology major working on them or a cardiologist? I don't understand why she is so surprised that she is being given all this flack, DUH, the people don't want ANOTHER dumbass in office.
