Oh god, sweet Jesus, please, not another Palin diary. And...this one is from...me! What am I doing?
Well, I have a hard time resisting actual irony, especially when it is so poetically based. This story starts out with the fact that Joe McGinniss, sometime Palin chronologist, has snarkily rented the house next door to the Palins to hole up and write his next book on her.
Palin, being a woman of letters -- at least 19 or 20 out of the full 26 -- posted this news on Facebook, of course, the public square of this lamentable age of ours -- complaining about her supposed loss of privacy (!). I'm sure the irony there is beyond her. What got me to diary here was this comment: "''And you know what they say about 'fences make for good neighbors'? Well, we'll get started on that tall fence tomorrow,'' she wrote on Facebook."
Governor, meet Robert Frost. I think you missed him in junior high.
