I was searching the word palindrome since this election has sent my mind in so many directions. And I found this blog. I wonder if it is for real?

It has to be a joke.

Anne, scroll down to the entry headed, "How can ebay users be so stupid?" and you'll note a disclaimer, column right, which reads: This site is a work of satire and is not affiliated with Sarah Palin in any way.

Thanks, Jenn -

I am amazed at the time people have for creating satirical blogs. Does anyone get paid for this stuff? I'd do it for a living wage, but I don't have the time for such frivolity as a hobby. I suppose the unemployed have to do something to entertain themselves. http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtml/smile.gif

(Couldn't figure it out...)

"palindrome" = a word or phrase going backwards and forwards

(doesn't make sense, so widen the search...)

"Pal in Rome" = the Pope?

(doesn't make sense either, so widen the search again...)

"Palindrone"... a Queen Bee with her drone bee?

(maybe we're getting somewhere... look at the context of the word "maverick"...)

in "Texas Hold 'Em" poker slang, a "maverick" = a queen and a jack

(I think we've got a winner, it's not an "m" but a "n" for "Palin-drone"!)

Robert -

You're beginning to sound like me. Be careful. I am always searching for something symbolic in everything and it often keeps me on a wild goose chase.

I have to share your findings with my husband who plays poker with friends once a week. "Texas Hold Em" - the Bush connection! Kidding.... I think http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtml/smile.gif

I felt I knew several mornings ago who Sarah Palin was, or at least what thought about it came to me just upon awakening, which is usually the time when I become aware of something in the Spirit. And I've been trying to make some connection to her last name, Palin. I think I found it --
On thinking about Palindromes, it seems to me that they point to the lesson of history repeating itself (as the greek myths are retold over and over again throughout history), only the names and the places change, but the story is the same. The thing we know as time (or history) is, perhaps a palindrome of sorts from Genesis to Revelation. That which is Eternal holds Time before and behind it - from everlasting to everlasting. Just more of my peculiar thoughts. - Anne

Kind of like:

"Brave Helios wake up your steads,
bring the Witch which the countryside needs."

It's so simple I'm surprised anyone wonders about it.

-drome< from the Greek dromos, race course

Hippodrome: where horses race

Aerodrome: airport, landing field or airplane hangar

Palindrome: where Palin races, or hangs out, only she doesn't, as she has far better things to do than to write such drivel as appears on the referenced site.

The site is absurd, Wyley, but when Sarah Palin babbles about her qualifications to lead this nation, and I look into her eyes and see the back of her head - or when she repeatedly and knowingly lies about her record - well, the drivel does not appear out of place.
