Mover/Shaker vs. thinker

There are movers and shakers - and thinkers. Sarah Palin fits the first category; I the latter. Populism paraded itself at the Tea Party Convention. Well it should, since its goal is to move the ‘bums’ out of Washington and ‘shake’ up politics and the status quo of elitist cronyism. I remain in Sarah’s camp because if the country continues down the road of Obama, a spokesman for the space program will continue to refer to ‘visual impairment’ that forced a cancellation of the launch of the shuttle. Sarah and I would use simpler, clearer language for cloud cover, zero visibility, flying blind, etc. “Visual impairment,” is just a symptom of the times that requires MR for “mental retarded” to be removed from all buses and references to what used to be MRDD.

Wilhelm II, the man with the withered arm, has been described by writers as “a dangerous paranoiac, an incurable megalomania, or an egotistical simpleton.” From the age of 2 he would have been made aware that his family ha something to do with ruling Prussia. This description seems apt for our big O who somehow grew up with the kingly epauletees on his shoulder, an ego of Narcissus and a simple talent to read a TOTUS. So give me Sarah, who can extemporaneously rev up an audience.
