Something Someone Else Said

"And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature's finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it's the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn't it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs? And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now, with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins. It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future. That is what we get to see every day. Now what the rest of America gets to see along with us is in this last frontier there is hope and opportunity and there is country pride." -Sarah Palin, in her farewell address resigning as Alaska's governor.

She should just change her middle name to "Incoherent" and get it over with. I was just reading an article that questioned whether the media has been too hard on her since she debuted on the national stage. To answer that question: When you say things like "It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future." why would you possibly expect the media to take you seriously as a politician, or even as a supposedly educated adult? Palin in 2012!

[Update II: I went to the NBC website to get their media player so the video of Shatner is back up. Annoying corporate bullshit.]
