Still more on Palin

OK - I'll try to stop. This blog should not be all Palin all the time.

But this reason piece by Tim Cavanaugh is too good not to link to.

My favorite line:

"Every poor American thinks he's got a rich American inside, fighting to get out."

This line is so true and explains so much, including what is wrong with Kansas (i.e. why working class people often do not vote their narrow, short-run economic interests), why the US and Europe are so different and (relatedly) why many Europeans do not "get" the US.
