Editor’s Note: A shorter version of this post would just say “Nothing.”
So there’s been a lot of flack to Republican running-mate Sarah Palin since John McCain announced her this past week. But can she really be that bad? I bet I can think of some good reasons for Sarah Palin to be on the ballot with McCain.
- She’s a woman, and this means that women can be politicians too.
- She’s from Alaska, that’s pretty cool.
- She reminds us that the Republicans are still hypocritically behind anti-abortion legislation, and anti-contraception.
- She makes Joe Biden look a lot more intelligent (not that he didn’t before, but this helps).
- She gives the atheist blogs something to talk about for weeks.
- She reminds the American public that if they don’t vote for Obama it’s going to be four more years closer to an all out Christian theocracy.
- If McCain dies during his presidency (he is old), she’ll be president and that just has to bring Armageddon that much closer, and come on, who here doesn’t want to see the Armageddon?
- Also, if she became president than Kim Cambell (only female prime minister of Canada) will look better by comparison.
- She’ll keep global warming on track, so Canada will get nice and temperate.
- Finally, a McCain-Palin candidate is ripe for comedic value (old man with a younger woman touring across the US).
(Note: I hope the satire is taken in this post, and if you’re offended, too freaking bad.)

Great article, but a slight correction: Armageddon (Harmagedon in Hebrew) is a mountain, the location of the genocidal apocalypse that Christians believe is foretold by the Book of Revelation, not the brutality, mass murder, and graphic revenge fantasy that is supposed to take place there. But then again, if Palin can’t go to the mountain, the mountain shall come to Palin.
