She could be our freaky president.

Maybe it pays to be a freak. Out of the ordinary. Unusual. Sarah Palin, for instance, is reported to have been given an advance of $7 million. For writing a book. A publisher apparently thinks she'll make a sizeable profit. By writing about herself. Her life story. This moose hunter from Alaska. Going from small town mayor to governor of Alaska to the Republican nominee for vice president. But the major attraction is she's a political freak. And without a very good command of the English language. But that should be no problem in writing a book. She'll have a ghost writer, no doubt. And who knows, all this may eventually propel her to the White House. She's only 43. So she has time on her side. Lots of people think Palin is empty-headed. But they also think the same of George Bush. And look at where that got him. Strange things happen in the United States of America. Doesn't take that much to become a celebrity. Rich. And popular. It helps to have a freak side. For example, take Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears and Michael Jackson. So don't rule it out. Palin could become our freaky president some day. --Jim Broede
