Pondering Palin

Last week's episode of the radio show Whad'ya Know was broadcast from Fairbanks, Alaska. In honor of the Alaskan audience Michael Feldman (radio host) started the show with locally flavored jokes, many of which were aimed at the former Governor Sarah Palin. (I don't know if you heard, but she stepped down as Governor. It's been very hush, hush.)

The radio show kicked off with, "This just in. Sarah Palin has just been treated for twitter blackout." Feldman went on to ponder this question:

What will Sarah Palin do with all her free time?

My favorite suggestion by far...

Wait for it.

Ambassador to Narnia.

Immediatly the image that came to mind was the lamppost in the Narnian forest--serene, snow falling, a fawn meeting young Lucy and taking her to tea. However, now there is a very special addition to my mental picture--the new, shiny Palin Pipeline. Ambassador Palin is providing oil to Great Britain (which, by the way, she can see from her new back porch). The pipeline turns at the Lamppost, goes into the woods, and emerges from the Wardrobe - fur coats pushed to the side.

Ambassador Palin is, of course, decked out in hunting gear, aloft in a helicopter for some big game shooting.

Beware, Aslan. Beware.
