What annoys me about the latest non-brouhaha was, what - Sarah Palin makes one comment about lipstick, and suddenly all lipstick now theoretically belongs to her in the realm of politics?

Gimme a break. As I heard a farmer say on the radio this afternoon, you can TRY to put lipstick on a pig, but they think it's a yummy treat, so good luck NOT having the lipstick eaten out of your hand!

I swear, this season, the political media is worked into a frenzy that any little thing gets blown all out of proportion.

Listen, there's plenty of time between now and the election. Can we have the entire political media sent to a corner for a nice three-day "time out"? Wouldn't that be nice?
