    The good thing is that Sarah had the chance to come out and speak to the American people, set the record straight and effectively lash out at her critics.

    IIRC, I thought it was stupid that it was so hard to assume the shooter was Muslim. Win for me! I get to bash Palin with impunity, right?

    FWIW, those tee shirts last night were provided by the University of Arizona and not the White House, as some have suggested.

    Because $60,000 always appears out of whole cloth for Universities to throw around. I wonder what the "stimulus" for that was.

    Could be an NCAA violation if any athletes received them.

    Good Lord, $60,000 is nothing to a university that size.

    I think one big reason why people seized on the Palin-Beck-Savage-Limbaugh-Angle-Bachmann angle so quickly, honestly, is that people in this country love any opportunity they have to stop talking politics.

    I'll put serious money on the Sovereign Citizen BS playing a big role in his political mindset.

    You can be intelligent and crazy as a loon at the same time. Ever see "A Beautiful Mind"?
