It’s been a quiet week in Orlando, my home town…

Did any one else notice the birds on the lake behind Palin when she ran away the other day?
They’re loons.
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
Tell you what else you can’t do. You can’t erect the type of house Todd & The Gov built on Lake Lucille on the salaries of a small town (no offense Wasilla) Mayor and her itinerant handyman of a husband. Well, I suppose you could…but it would sure put you in debt.
Unless you had help. Say from Spenard Building Supplies, n’est ce pas?
While it is amusing to imagine Palin resigned because she hiked her own Appalachian Trail with a Brazilian mistress (okay; maybe it’s just me that finds that particular scenario…arresting), the sad fact is that at least 2 different (totally off the record) Alaskan law enforcement sources have claimed a Palin criminal indictment is pending authorization.
So, once again, it turns out to be about money.
Or, if you will allow me to be reductive here, the love of money, combined - in Ms Sarah’s case - with her overweening sense of entitlement. I’m not sure what Todd’s motivation was. Perhaps he will tell us; word is he is also named in the indictment. Maybe it was just free Sno-Cats.
Sometime soon, perhaps as early as Monday, we will be exposed to the Palins’ heart of darkness.
My surmise is that their bete noire is as petty and low-rent as all they have paraded before us since Sen. McCain’s brain fart brought to national attention an obscure, overtly dim and slightly venal politician from the back end (sorry, Alaska, but you know it’s true) of America.
I pity her family. They were, and still are, less prepared for the national spotlight than PeeWee Herman taking in a “movie”. What’s ahead for them will be painful.
As for Ms Sarah, good riddance to bad rubbish. She’s just one less religious neo-con whack-job to worry about. Once the coming storm has whipped her, she will -for all intents and purposes - be through as a viable national politician. Even if the bible thumpers continue to embrace her, no one else will.
Besides, she will be too busy working as a hack commentator trying to make the nut on the lake house and her legal bills. Palin’s current complement of lawyers have already started dunning her to the tune of 3/4s of a million bucks. Add the cost of the impending defense for (what I hear) are Federal charges and you’re talking about real debt.
In the meantime, the circus is returning and we’ve got ringside seats.
Whether we want them or not.
