Where do we go from here?

We have all seen this before.

It is the end of the movie, the big bad has been dispatched, and the comforting music begins to waft from the speakers as the house lights slowly come up.

Then, just as the audience begins to gather their belongings and prepare to exit the theater, Mike Myers suddenly sits up despite multiple bullet wounds, Jason Vorhees reaches a moldy hand up from the depths of the deceptively placid lake, or Sissy Spacek suddenly reaches from the grave to grab hold of Amy Irving's hand. Next thing we know we are all plastered in our theater seats, hearts pumping miles a minute, and eyes opened wide with terror.

"Jesus! I thought we were safe!" we exclaim.

Now I am NOT suggesting that Sarah Palin has anything in common with inhuman killing machines like Mike Myers or Jason Vorhees, after all THEY are only fictional characters, and can't really harm us.

However I AM telling you that if you are celebrating the end of Sarah Palin, then YOU have not been paying attention.

Yesterday everybody was dancing a jig while giving virtual hugs to bloggers and authors they felt might have been partly responsible for Sarah Palin's decision NOT to run for the GOP nomination.

Champagne bottles were uncorked, excited calls were made to loved ones, and people even played "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" on their I-Pods in celebration.

Not so fast my friends. Don't you feel like we have all been here before?

Well you should, because we have.

It was July 2009, and Sarah Palin had just resigned as the Governor of Alaska. Do you remember now?

Oh how we celebrated that day! ESPECIALLY in Alaska!

By the end of that first weekend my back was sore from the multiple pats, my head was swimming with undeserved praise, and there was a feeling of unrestrained jubilation in the summer air.

But Gryphen wore no party hat that day, nor threw confetti, nor drank himself into his happy place. No he did not!

You see I had only heard ONE Naughty Red Monkey Pump drop to the ground.  I knew that there was another one still dangling from one of Palin's withered claws.

I went to a party a few days after her resignation, where I was asked repeatedly what I would blog about now that Palin was history.

History?  History was still decades away, and we were still very much in the present. A present with unperceived events that were still unfolding around us.

Many of my fellow bloggers were effusive in their declaration that they hoped to never write about that crazy bitch again, but not me. I knew that things were JUST beginning.

Now that those events really ARE considered historic, you all remember what came next. Death panels, the rise of the Tea Party, the shooting of Gabby Giffords, the complete gridlock in Washington, can ALL be traced back to a certain half term Governor, with a hateful middle school attitude, and a Fox News studio built right into her house.

No my friends, this is not my first rodeo.

Granted Palin's reputation is damaged MUCH more today, than it was three years ago. However don't forget that when she quit her governorship most political pundits said that she would never be a viable political presence ever again. How did THAT prediction work out?

Here are some things you CAN relax about.

• Palin will NEVER seriously run for President.  She never really was, because honestly she simply does not want the job. It's hard, she hates hard.
• Palin will NEVER campaign as a third party candidate! That's a lot of work, she hates work.
• Palin will always be her own worst enemy.  She is too ignorant, and self destructive, to listen to the advice of those who could actually shape her into a less antagonistically divisive public figure. Therefore she will always be marginal. (EVEN if she shows up as a pundit on CNN.)

However having said that, it does NOT mean she will not continue to have a detrimental effect on politics, journalism, and our future in this country. Because, trust me, she will.

So I feel it is my responsibility to continue to bring forth the lies, and obfuscations of Sarah Louise Palin until such time as we have the clearest possible picture of EXACTLY how she pulled of this incredible hoax, who helped her, and who is continuing to provide cover for her.

Toward that end I will continue working on my post concerning the truth about Sarah, Levi, and Bristol. As well as digging up as much information as I can to help explain exactly how this lunatic gained so much power and influence in this country. A country it should be worth noting that we all love and wish to protect from people just like Sarah Palin, who care nothing for our future yet take advantage of the fears of the undereducated to further their own nefarious goals, and line their own bulging pockets.

Like I said in my tweet to you last night Sarah:

@SarahPalinUSA Good choice. But you know there are still truths yet to be told. Your decision will not change that. 

If I may borrow and modify a certain ridiculously over used phrase, "Game STILL on!"
