vice president

i feel like Sarah Palin
i feel like Sarah Palin because i'm from a relatively small town
i feel like Sarah Palin because i rose to some prominence in this small town in the form of elected office.
i feel like Sarah Palin because i caught the attention of the national media.
i feel like Sarah Palin......oh wait!
turns out i don't feel like Sarah Palin at all....
i'm not in an elected office
i don't pile my hair on top of my head
i haven't been asked to fill the second most powerful office in the globe (i know...perhaps a bit pretentious to think the U.S. is at the epicenter of global politics) with no qualifications whatsoever.
we do share a wee ort of similarity however.
i've lived in the South for thirty years and still have an accent and affectations of those from Michigan.
thanks, Sarah. you've helped to lower the bar for all of us...i have some hope now that i could become the vice president....(the phone's ringing...might be "W".)
yar!
