I wish she would go away already;...

...she's certainly had more than her 15 minutes of fame.  I wouldn't even do an opinionated blog post on her if I had the energy to write anything else.*

The Daily Dish is one of my daily reads.  They've got interesting posts and links about political and cultural matters, plus features such as the Mental Health Break, and View From Your Window.  Usually, however, if they have more than two articles on Sarah Palin, I go on to another blog.  Today, however, I thought I'd count the Palin posts.  It's one of the Dish's more obsessive days.  Out of 45 posts (by 10:15 pm), 16 are about Sarah Palin - one third of their posts.

I know she's on a book tour, but still, she's not that interesting.

If I had stuck to my usual, close-The-Daily-Dish-at-the-second-Sarah-Palin-post policy, I would have missed the posts on smuggling sheep through tunnels to the Gaza strip, what if we fail in Afghanistan, the biology of smell, and jihadists who recanted.  However, most days I don't have the patience to wade past the Palin posts. 

*  All the pansies and snapdragons are planted except for the ones that will go on the pots in the deck.  I can plant those while sitting in a chair after my surgery. I spent most of the daylight doing yardwork, except for a few hours this morning when younger son and I went to take pictures at Duke Gardens.  He's turning into quite the shutterbug too.  A good day, but I was ready to go to sleep two hours ago (as an insomniac, I couldn't.  If I go to sleep before about midnight, I wake around 1 or 2 am, my body considers that I've had a good nap, and I'm up for hours.).
