Never Mind. I Love Her Again

Palin Bags a Bigfoot:

Sarah Palin for President

When Sara Palin revealed to reporters that she was pregnant, she "joked about giving her child the middle name Van, since Van Palin would sound sort of like the hard rock band Van Halen."

Is it too late to switch McCain to the Vice President slot?

Why Christians Love Pailn

She paints with a broad brush here, and much could be argued over, but Hannah Rosin over at Slate has some interesting things to say about why Christians dig Sarah Palin. Note that when she quotes stats about evangelicals, she really means those who are "born again." This is an important distinction. Born-againers, who make up about 30% of America, do not necessarily live according to a Christian world-view. Evangelicals, who make up about 9% of the population, do.

You Have to be Kidding

I've decided to put a picture of the Palin family on the front of our Christmas cards this year.

Idolatry, Take 3

Lest you think I am not susceptible to the idolatry I pointed out earlier (here and here), let me set the record straight. I am as easily capable of making politics, among many other things, into an idol as anyone else. I partly wish, for purely personal reasons, that John McCain had not selected Sarah Palin as his running mate. I was disinterested in the whole thing, and it felt good. But that's not how it has always been. I remember staying up until 4 in the morningthe day after the presidential election in November 2000, praying the George Bush would get elected. I was so consumed with the race and getting the right guy elected that I literally made it into an idol. I had forgotten that God was in control. He was the one I should have looked to, depended on.

I pray I have learned my lesson. Because Palin represents my "values" and is an evangelical, she (with McCain) could easily become an idol in my life. I could quickly come to depend more on their winning than on the God who created me and sustains me. It is good in these times, therefore, to remember a frew things:

1. No matter who gets elected Jesus is coming back to the world on the same day.
2. God will elect to office the person who will bring about his sovereign will.
3. No politican can stand as a substitue on my behalf, saving me for eternity.

The Hairdo Litmus Test

From the Boston Herald, on Sarah Palin's Hair:

But must her hair suffer? With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band.

“It’s about 20 years out of date,” said Boston stylist Mario Russo of the Alaska governor’s ’do. “Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.”

Hard to argue with that.
