Silver Linings

Noemie* Emery takes over 700 words to make the claim that if Sarah Palin had been elected Vice President, we would apparently already have a functioning bank recovery plan, no stock market decline and resoundingly successful diplomatic relations with all nations. At least, I assume that’s what she must be saying. Otherwise, we would have to contemplate how much worse things would be had the other ticket prevailed. Instead of having the current mediocre administration with constant vetting problems and a White House out of its depth, we would have an ageing, hot-headed incompetent whose idea of economic reform is railing against astronomy funding and denouncing greed, and an even less well-informed successor to replace him if he were unable to serve.
