A Confession

/ Tracy Abell

  

I’ve spent much of the past several hours
trying to figure out what’s going on with
Sarah Palin.

When I heard she was quitting her job as Alaska’s governor
I was positive she was starting her 2012 run early.

But then I watched her explain the "rationale" for quitting.

With the birds squawking and geese honking in the background
as she gasped her way from one self-aggrandizing statement to the next,
SarahCuda didn’t strike me as someone on her way up the political ladder.

She struck me as a woman unhinged.
Even more so than usual.

But I’ve come to the conclusion that sometimes
it’s best to let crazy be so that that crazy doesn’t become your own.

So I’ll quit trying to divine the truth and will instead
sit back and wait for further developments.
Really, I will.

And, also?
You might want to do the same.
  

(Edited to add: for those who can’t stomach the audio agony, here’s the transcript).

        • See, you’re such a big-hearted person I assumed you hadn’t even considered the possibility of icky undertones. But I should’ve remembered you’re too savvy to be taken in by that noise.
          I’m off to do fun things and wish you and your family a wonderful day, Jeannine!

    Boy, ain’t that the truth!
    (((TRACY)) I’ve missed you while I was away, and can’t wait to see photos of your writing retreat. Your post-4th pictures were lovely.

    • Thank you SO much for stopping by and letting me know you’re back. I had every intention of sending an email to let you know I missed you and was sending good thoughts, but lost those good intentions in the midst of life. I will be in more detailed touch, soon.
      In the meanwhile, here’s a hug, Melodye…
