Yay news!

Sometimes the news is so good, it's better than good news; it's yay news.

Some yay news came today: Sarah Palin is resigning as governor of Alaska.

Granted, this yay news will probably result in bad news -- her seeking higher office -- but here's hoping the driving factor behind today's revelation is a dark dirty secret that's about to come to light, ~ ~ ~ ~ Sarah Palin: I quit. ~ ~ ~
or a skeleton in her closet that's
about to come to life.

Nudie pics would be great. Or a mistress (a straight affair wouldn't be bad enough IMO). Or a meth habit. No -- meth lab in her basement.

There's a slim chance that she's terminally ill, and of course I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but chances of that are pretty slim.

Alas, let's face the facts: She's probably going to seek a seat in the Senate, or prominent placement on the 2012 presidential ballot.

"I think this is a stupid, stupid move," CNN Republican strategist, Ed Rollins, said. "If this was for 2012, this was a very very stupid idea."

In a basketball analogy-laced speech, Palin claimed she would not seek reelection because she was the point guard and had her eye on the basket and she knew it was time to pass the ball in order for her team to win. Presumably, so someone else could score the basket.

It wasn't clear what "team" Palin was referring to: Team Alaska, Team Republican Party, Team America, or Team World. And we all know that each of these teams have very different ultimate goals.

She held a press conference on the Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend and didn't take any questions following her speech. so it looks like we'll have to wait and see what the real story is.
