Reporter sporting Google Glass at Indianapolis Speedway receives icy reception from Sarah and Todd Palin.

The thing about Glass is that it's a gigantic LOOK AT ME plastered on the front of your face; a call for attention that also serves as an invitation for people to openly judge you. Most of us walk through life at various levels of happy anonymity, but Glass puts a spotlight on you unlike anything I've ever experienced. 

"Is that Google Glasses?" they all ask. "What is it doing right now?" I had my little speech memorized by the third or fourth time around. "It's not doing much," I'd say. "It's kind of like a GoPro with Siri." I let a few people try it on, but no one could figure out the interface. "It just tells the time?" they'd ask, and then I'd have them take a picture of me, most of which I promptly deleted. I kind of wish I hadn't, now. They would have made an interesting time-lapse documentary of my journey to the bottom of the hotel's Woodford Reserve. 

At one point during the evening Sarah Palin arrived at the hotel and made a smooth, practiced pass through the bar shaking hands and taking photos with a long line of admirers. I stood next to her for several minutes but she wouldn't take a photo with me or wear Glass. "What's in it for us?" asked her husband Todd, staring squarely at the camera and screen floating just above my hazy, bourbon-enhanced eyes. "We don't know what company you're with." 

When I told him I wasn't after an endorsement but was rather a journalist interested in her opinion of Glass, he icily asked me to leave.

"What's in it for us?"  If the Palins have a personal motto surely THAT would have to be it.

The Palins don't do ANYTHING that they are not paid to do, or which does not benefit them in some way.

So Todd is using that bullying bullshit again.  Seriously who in the hell is scared of this candy ass?

The one and only time I met him him, during one of Palin's book signings, he certainly did not rise up to try and intimidate me. Instead he turned to his wife and had her call security to have me escorted away, though I was doing NOTHING to be disruptive or confrontational.

I guess like all bullies he only gets tough when they thinks there is no chance that anybody will stand up to him.

Just like the Palins, making friends and impressing people everywhere they go.
