Sara-cuda

With apologies to Heart:

So this ain't the end- I saw you again - today
I had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the sun- kisses for everyone
And tales- it never fails!

You're lying so low in the weeds
I bet you're gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, "Sara"cuda?

I finally found a deft synopsis of the nagging concerns I've had about Sarah Palin's meteoric rise to political stardom. And I agree with the writer: there is much about her that inclines someone like me to wish her success. But I fear he is right -- her entry into the Tea Party movement likely carries more risk than benefit. America cannot afford to have deep popular resentment co-opted yet again to merely present a new face for the very establishment that is the root of the problems.
