Fox News has hired Sarah Palin to be a regular commentator on their network. Sarah Palin. A news commentator. On Fox. Offering political commentary and analysis. Insightful comments. About the news. On Fox TV. Sarah Palin. Take a deep breath and let that sink in.
Palin says she’s thrilled to join Fox News. “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.” Fox News. Fair and balanced. Values it. And hires Sarah Palin. To add her “dynamic voice” to the network. Sarah Palin. Dynamic voice on Fox News. The fair and balanced network. Let that breath out now.
At what point did the world turn into the Gong Show?
Sarah Palin providing news commentary on the “fair and balanced” Fox network? Get serious! This is the same Palin who did her best to destroy attempts at U.S. health reform by claiming Obama’s plan would include a ‘death panel’ that decides the fate of elderly Americans or those suffering disabilities.
The same Palin who couldn’t name a single newspaper or magazine she reads when asked by Katie Couric.
The same Palin who pushed a conspiracy theory that the words “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of U.S. coins by the Obama administration. Even though the change took place under Bush’s presidency.
It’s the same woman who has been shown time after time to have almost no grasp of international affairs. Yet she’s qualified to be a commentator for Fox TV? Well, I guess that makes sense in a way. Fox and Palin – proving once and for all that two rights can definitely make a wrong!
One good thing may come from this bizarre event. Perhaps Tina Fey can return to SNL for special Weekend Update segments.
Spirit and Science
The science vs. religion debate seems to polarize some segments of society. There are people so caught up in religion that they vehemently deny what science can teach us about our ancestors. Then there are those with such a strong faith in science that they can't reconcile themselves to accepting a spiritual side to life.
I've traveled a very wandering and twisting road through my five+ decades and I've dipped my toes into both ponds at different times. Today, I'm much more relaxed about the issue and see plenty of room to accommodate both perspectives equally. If you struggle with blending the two, you need to escape the dogma associated with each when taken separately. My suggestion, check out 'Thank God for Evolution.'
The Personal Revolution. You can start to change your life at any time you wish!
