Palin Who?

When I first heard the news, the radio said that McCain had chosen Palin to be VP. So, of course, I assumed it was Michael Palin, and was tempted to switch allegiances.

However, it turns out that the Palin in question is Sarah Palin. She may be Michael's niece...or grand niece. She apparently has lost her British accent, but sounds pronouncedly Canadian, which makes sense, living in Alaska as she does. Perhaps she and John will create a Bureau of Silly Walks, and let Michael head it. Or maybe get Basil Fawlty over to run it.

The Ministry of Silly Walk, or the Department of Silly Walks...referred to acronymously as "the DSW" ...may aid John McCain try to get out of the hole that Bush has dug for us with Russia. Vladimir Putin famously is rendered impotent and out of sorts when confronted with silly walks; the Chechnyans knew it and made extensive use of it.
