Amidst all the furor over Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska are the unmistakable strains of why so many in the media and pseudointelligentsia fail utterly to understand her appeal. Or grasp her common sense intellect. Which should come as no surprise, since they are totally devoid of said …

Mine is seeing the Anchoress at a Brian “Head” Welch concert:

Oh, and here’s his testimony:

“Gord, do you know any ghost stories?” asked Cherie the brown thrasher. She was sitting underneath the bushes she called home, which lined the back wall of her friend Gord the polar bear’s home at the zoo.
