To Sarah Palin: God Doesn't Like You

Given the Republican party's perennial obsession with human reproduction and the Christian version of God, it's surprising that no one really connected the dots with yesterday's events (that is, event 1 and event 2).  The news outlets were abuzz with talk of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's slightly shady past: a husband who was arrested for drunk driving years ago, a 17-year-old daughter who was pregnant, and an ongoing investigation regarding a suspicious firing of a public official.  Some are even speculating whether the fact that she has another child with Downs syndrome and three more children--presumably normal--means that she'll have time to be both a good vice-president and a good mother.  With Hurricane Gustav ruining the first day of the RNC convention, and with hurricanes Hanna, Ike, and Josephine lined up to pummel the Southeast, it's pretty clear what God thinks.  Sorry Ms. Palin, God just doesn't like you.
