(Picture from here.)
Both of my readers know I'm a big fan of science. It's not because it produces really neat things but because those things are true.
I don't mean "true" like "in your heart you know he's right", politically true or any other such nonsense but because there is evidence, supporting facts and reasonable conclusions. That sort of true.
While it's not science, I had always hoped for the same from news.
There is a continuing war in this country between illusion and substance. There is Obama the symbol of openness and light and Obama the practical moderate. There is the McCain with the illusion of steadfast strength and creative thinking and the substance of the doddering right wing hack clinging desperately to the hope of his political ventilator, Sarah Palin.
And then there's Plain Sarah Palin, who has not got an original thought in her head and is at best barely above average intelligence-- not that you need much intelligence for her constituency. Palin isn't all that bright but she is brighter than her constituents.
Sarah Palin, Fox News Commentator.
Palin, who has yet to produce a single original thought in any speech, any legislation or governance, who is, in fact, completely without substance, is now going to "comment" at Fox "News", a news organization devoid of news.
Illusion has won.
