What a perfect analogy – Caligula naming his horse as a consul and a priest. Especially seeing that all of Rome fell in line, praising Caligula and declaring him a God – despite the fact that Caligula had become insane from venereal disease. Bravo on the reference - I wish I had thought of it.
Exquisite column."Gingrich's point about Palin being commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard has been echoed throughout the GOP. In fact, even Cindy McCain pointed out -- rightly enough -- that Alaska is across the Bering Strait from Russia and so Palin, by deduction, has been on the front lines of the Cold War . . . had it not ended in 1989." Love it all.

I live in Key West Florida, 90 miles from Cuba. Guess that makes me an expert in foreign affairs. Where can I sign up for VP?

Big oil wants McCain/Palin. Big oil typically get what it wants.

Loved the Caligula reference also.Sorry, but people in the public eye, have to expect this kind of scrutiny.
