Palin-Drone
August 30, 2008
Irene Klotz is stirring things up over at Free Space by channeling the spirit of Ayn Rand over John McCain's unlikely pick for VP candidate: Alaska's Sarah Palin. My more thoughtful reaction can be found in the comments over there, but I can flippantly sum it up here in a single sentence: sanity and rationality have pretty much left McCain's building, along with any pretense of sound judgment. (Seriously, dude -- desperate much? There's a difference between being a maverick and just being plain barking mad.)
In the meantime, io9 has highlighted the best analysis so far of the Palin Pick: picking up on an Internet meme detailing the similarities between the McCain/Palin ticket and Colonel Tigh and President Roslin of Battlestar Galactica. The Burn Lab started it, creating the awesome photo montage below, observing, "So far, only one is a confirmed Cylon." When politics so completely loses touch with reality, why not reduce everything to the level of a TV science fiction series?

So, thanks for the plug, Jen (I think) and your thoughtful comments, to which I've replied on Free Space. Love the candidates' new look! I wonder if they will dematerialize when the new atom smasher starts up.
Your fellow blogger
