Sarah Palin's interview today

Wow, I feel much better! Did anyone catch Sarah Palin's live interview with Glenn Beck? She was fantastic—gracious, radiant, self-assured, beautiful, and completely down-to-earth. Glenn was lamenting out-of-touch politicians, saying that he wanted to know when was the last time one of them went through a Wendy’s drive-thru and asked for a Frosty with Oreo sprinkles. He posed that question to Governor Palin, and she did that two nights ago, but it was a Dairy Queen… She concurred with Glenn about those "high-and-mighty" politicians, and she was curious about when was the last time they filled up their vehicles with gas themselves and paid for it out of their own pockets. She gets it!

Major kudos to Glenn Beck on his debut as well. When he was introducing Sarah Palin, he started describing their connection as both being parents of special needs children, and he had to fight back tears. As someone who has special needs herself, that genuine show of emotion touched my heart profoundly. Glenn asked Sarah how Trig had changed her life, and without any hesitation, she stated that Trig is the best thing that has ever happened to her family. Lord, please touch this woman on behalf of our beloved country. Especially now, we need her.

I am also thanking God for Fox News. If you haven’t heard, Glenn Beck’s new show is on the Fox News Channel weekdays at 5:00 p.m. EST. Watching it gave me a much-needed sense of relief after the relentless Obama lovefest on just about every single channel. We need to get something straight—our peaceful transition of power every four years is ALWAYS worthy of celebration, but all these sycophants are acting as if all of the problems troubling the world are going to be magically disappear once Obama is crowned, I mean, inaugurated. They really think that the world will be a better place once Obama is President. Unbelievable.

Prior to interviewing Sarah Palin, Glenn had a great conversation with Karl Rove about Obama blatantly presenting himself as the next Abraham Lincoln. Karl stated exactly what I have been feeling—this guy is awfully presumptuous. I have not heard this take on Obama’s connection with Lincoln on any other news program; the media have drooled over this association and promoted it at every opportunity. I can’t help but wondering—who does this guy think he is?
So what will you be doing during the Inauguration tomorrow? Rush Limbaugh will have special programming during his regular hours, so I’ll be tuning him in. I don’t hate Obama, but I am concerned about my country. I heard Spike Lee say that tomorrow will be the greatest day in American history; nope, don’t think so. These people need to get real. Can they hold off on the deification until he actually does something? He’s in the big leagues now, and voting "present" isn’t an option.

I will be so glad when these festivities are over. Although I am planning to stay at home all day, listening to Rush and watching DVDs, my family will celebrate in our own way. We will be preparing a special Inauguration Day dinner tomorrow night—a big old plate of fried baloney. Fitting, isn’t it?
