the art of elocution: you can't make this stuff up

Direct quote from Sarah Palin, in a recent speech:

Reagan knew that real change and real change requiring shaking things up and maybe takin' off the entrenched interest thwarting the will of the people with their ignoring of our concerns about future peril caused by selfish short-sighted advocacy for growing government and digging more debt, and taking away individual and state's rights and hampering opportunity to responsibly develop our resources, and coddling those who would seek to harm America and her allies.

The good news is, the Alaskan legislature is set to override her veto of the appropriations bill accepting $27 million in federal energy stimulus.

there's a lieutenant governor primary too

The Virginia Democratic primary is Tuesday, June 9.

Candidates for governor are Creigh Deeds, Terry McAuliffe, and Brian Moran.

Candidates for lieutenant governor are Mike Signer and Jody Wagner.

Steve Shannon is the candidate for attorney general, running (I presume) against Bil Mims, who replaced Bob McDonnell when he resigned to run for governor.
