    She can’t see them. Russia blocks the view of Mount Redoubt from Palin’s living room window.

    Well, it’s just that the media is so wrong about everything that she thinks they are just trying to get her to look up from her permanent campaign activities. Besides, once Alaska blows, she doesn’t have to worry about that and can just do the “blago-blitz” thing with the big bad media until there’s another election she can play in. You can’t blame a volcano on her so she’ll have another victimhood narrative at her disposal… Or some claim that god chose to do this to Alaska as a “sign” for her to pursue her political social career. She’s probably packing her bags right now.

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
