As Time continues the liberal media's relentless campaign against Sarah Palin:

Oh, never mind....

      Oh, that's priceless. Instead of having "The Quitter" in big white letters across the front, and "Sarah Palin takes the easy way out" on the side, Time gives us an advertisement instead of news. Another death rattle emits from the state of U.S. journalism.

      And the best irony of all is the teaser in the upper right corner. Their cover story is about someone who quit her job, and there's a highlighted story about the president needing to make tougher choices?!

        ren⋅e⋅gade /ˈrɛnɪˌgeɪd/ [ren-i-geyd]

        Synonyms:
        1. traitor, deserter, betrayer.
        Sounds about right.

      "Oh, mama, I'm in fear of my life from the long arm of the law..."

      Actually, this Time cover seems oddly appropriate.

      Time should edit the title to "The Re-neger"

      Gov. Palin can make the tough choices:

      "What's for dinner - moose or caribou?"

        Neither moose nor caribou are that good actually, at least in my opinion. Now, deer on the other hand. Scrumptious.

      What, not another closeup to further the "right's" claim of media bias?

      TIME (cover): Sarah Palin takes the road less traveled. But where does it lead?

      Maybe Sarah's road fittingly leads to a Bridge to Nowhere.

      I don't get why Time Magazine would want to hitch their star to SP, even if their board room (and stockholders) are demanding it. Is there that much of a lack of standards?

      It's a godd*m bad decision by presumed persons of "letters".
