Go, Sarah, go

Money greases the wheels of progress and buys the bricks that build an empire. The Rothschilds provide a great example. Their global dynasty has lasted over 200 years. From its inception with Jew Mayer Rothschild of Frankfort, Germany in the 1700's, the dynasty devolved through his five sons. Carl in Naples, Italy, James in Paris, France, Nathan in London, England, Salomon in Vienna, Austria and Amschel carried on his father’s work in Germany. The original house of the "red shield" was occupied by the matriarch of the family who, having produced 20 children, 10 of whom reached adulthood, died at 96. Even though today’s world differs technically from the past, dynamism and dedication, great women and great men, still deserve to reap rewards.

Governor Sarah Palin has a long way to go. Now that I have taken her and McCain to task for not being up front with the revelation of her unwed, pregnant daughter, I can proceed to observe that Mrs. Palin’s (never a Ms.) past is played, her present portentous and her future looks good. Judging from the response of her party and the American people, good may lead to great.
