Sarah Palin pandemonium

OK, I realize I've been pretty mum about our governor, turned VP candidate, Sarah Palin. Some of it has to do with not having the time to post much of anything on this blog -- a lot of it has to do with being so inundated by Palin-everything, that it's the last thing I want to write about at the end of the day. But, since I have followed her career from the time she was a gubernatorial candidate, running against Republican incumbent Frank Murkowski -- talked to her on the phone for an article I wrote about that race -- I have a pretty good sense of who she is and how she handles leadership. Rather than laying my opinions on the line -- that's not my style -- I invite any questions people have. Just post a comment, and I'll reply as quickly as possible. A good starting point for discussion is the editorial we ran in the Alaska Star the week after the big news (probably the biggest news to hit Alaska in a decade). The link is below. I look forward to hearing from you.

It's TIME for The Prophet

And an astonomer said, Master, what of Time?
And he answered:
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch it flowing.

Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,
And knows that yesterday is but to-day's dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is
boundless?
And yet does not feel that very love, though boundless,encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to to other love deeds?

But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons,
And let to-day embrace the past with rememberance and the future with longing.
And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless?

-From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
