At Least She’s Interesting…
Last week, I wrote a bit about how I think Sarah Palin could do with being less guarded and how, when she makes mistakes, she should claim ownership of them with grace and good humor. As it happens, Stacy was hunting down that very same trail. All of which is to say, you are the [...]
