I'd been waiting for the Editorial Department to post some of the humourous items that have been coming in from the Web about Sarah Palin – potentially "a heartbeat away from being leader of the free world..." – but they've all been busy, what with elections, and site launches, and all. So I decided that you, our faithful reader, deserved a chance to share in the fun now. Here it is (I'm adding new stuff as it comes in):

The Vet Who Did Not Vet (YouTube Video)

"Who knows just how you found her, John?" - from TheNation.com

More Palin spoofs from SNL (Videos)

Some new Saturday Night Live skits (and more) sent by a reader.

Values...?

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight...

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different".

* Growing up in Alaska eating mooseburgers... a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack, you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard Law School and you are unstable.

* Attend five different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you are a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fibre of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system, while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.

* If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and was once a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now!!

One Heartbeat Away

Harland Colt just put out a new album "One Heartbeat Away" - dedicated to Sarah Palin (from CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes):

Palin Page II (Videos)

Here's a list of videos sent in by a reader. (We haven't had time to check them all...)

She really said it...!

(I'd seen the Tina Fey version before - and it's always worth watching again - but I hadn't realized that it was almost verbatim to some of what Palin had ACTUALLY said... To quote the video, WTF?)

Check out this YouTube video and see for yourself...
