That is a picture which discredits and demeans Gov. Palin.
Why do you choose to post it?

In the strident rhetoric of contemporary presidential campaigning, concinnity is utterly foresaken.

Good Morning!
Soaring rhetoric and concinnity,
By two posers with consanguinity,
Of hopes and dreams,
And get-rich schemes,
Just strikes me as double-ninnity.

So, has anyone else's daughter put in a request for an Ed Hardy t-shirt? These are hideously expensive designer t-shirts with tattoo-inspired designs. This one's $154 at Nordstrom:
If I paid that much for a t-shirt of my own, I'd insist on a reach-around every time I wore it.

$16.50 for a Hollister shirt is way too much.
