		<description>&lt;p&gt;Late to the party as usual, but Palin’s showing us she’s not going anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone with a shred of common sense would pull back from the limelight, get her kids reoriented into school, and go back to her day job for awhile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But did you notice the footage of her showing up for her first day back in the office? She looked like it was the last place on earth she wanted to be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s see…. Miami or Anchorage in November? Bet she’ll be at the Rethug Govs meeting from beginning to end, stopping in front of every camera she can find.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get used to saying ‘Sen. Palin’.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Obama’s heirs too will grow arrogant and corrupt. They will become as attached to an old time and tired ideas as their predecessors. A new and vibrant opposition will arise. That too is ever so American.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am dreading that day.  I’m hoping that the blogosphere can and will keep them honest, but I don’t know if we’ll ever carry enough weight.  I also worry that we’ll fall into the trap of excusing everything the Democrats do just because we’re on the same team.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;If a party is left to exercise power too long, the ideas that carried it into power get exaggerated beyond the point of no return.  The politicians implementing said ideas become jaded, arrogant and corrupt.  When Reagan came into power, it was for good cause.  Some of the same forces are in play now.  The Republicans are living a few decades in the past, are unwilling to see today’s needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama has an opportunity to turn the country around, as did FDR, as did Reagan.  I wish him well.  I have faith that a new birth of freedom comes along every once in a while, and this is potentially one such time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Obama’s heirs too will grow arrogant and corrupt.  They will become as attached to an old time and tired ideas as their predecessors.  A new and vibrant opposition will arise.  That too is ever so American.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just can’t conceive at the moment why this hypothetical new and vibrant opposition would want to call themselves Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
