Palin's Controversy

My favorite faux blond sister, Erika has recently engendered controversy, after having assigned the name of “Palin” to her newborn daughter. Admittedly, divisive, avant garde expression tends to enshroud my life; thus, I believe Erika will require a bit of an adjustment period. Fortunately for the ever docile Palin, pervasive slumber has not eluded her and she appears quite impervious to the indignation her name has incited. At a recent Christmas party, I disclosed said polemical name to another guest, who derided the lunacy of conferring a name connotative of political failure and embarrassment (The gracious diplomacy of Obama idolizers never failing to surprise me) The guest attempted conciliation with the consoling remark that fortunately for my unwitting niece-her namesake, Sarah- would soon be altogether forgotten. Surprisingly, though tempted, I evaded the opportunity to confirm all suspicions of my right-wing leanings. Instead, here, I will applaud my sister who not only gallantly defended Sarah Palin’s reputation amongst her dubious peers during the election cycle, but has also memorialized the legacy of the first female GOP Vice-Presidential nominee who defended the liberties of our most vulnerable citizens with the aplomb and grace and beauty of which Michelle O. could only dream. And we are confident that Palin Coleman and Sarah Palin are names not ever forgotten. Welcome Palin!
