Light On Dark Water

(Apologies to my European and other outside-the-USA readers, as this is pretty USA-specific.)

These are some of my favorites from a long list of things you might want to know before hearing Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican convention tonight, and certainly before making up your mind about how to vote this fall:

• Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North.

• Sarah Palin’s enemies are automatically added to the Endangered Species List

• To prep for her role as Tracy Flick in Election, Reese Witherspoon spent the ‘98 seal-clubbing season with Sarah Palin.

• Sarah Palin was not flown to Ohio in a chartered jet—she ran as part of her morning workout.

• Sarah Palin once bit the head off a live osprey snatched from the air as it tried to fly off with a fish she caught.

• Sarah Palin uses French Canadians as bait to catch giant king salmon.

• Sarah Palin knows who was on the grassy knoll.

• Sarah Palin drives a Zamboni to work.

• Sarah Palin is actually Kaiser Sose.

• Sarah Palin can divide by zero.

• Sarah Palin poses more danger of creating world-destroying black holes than the Large Hadron Collidor.

Some of these are movie references which won’t make sense if you haven’t seen the movie—sorry. The whole list is at www.palinfacts.com.

By the way, for Francesca and others in the UK:

• Queen Elizabeth II curtsied when she was introduced to Sarah Palin.
