Here Comes Sarah

Palin shot in the arm

What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?”

“One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let’s be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

“The other kills her own food.”

… so jokes The Times (U.K.) in its piece, Sarah Palin: it’s go west, towards the future of conservatism

One might also ask, (albeit much less amusingly), “How do you know McCain can choose a VP?”… Answer: The planet stops writing about Obama for a week.

WatchingAmerica.com, which tracks and translates U.S.-related news from around the world, has had such a flurry of content on Palin in recent days, that, based on column inches, one can’t help but begin to make the comparison with Obama superstar… – at least for a little while.

Here is a roundup of some of the best so far.

    Thanks for the links, Robin. I for one do find it interesting what the rest of the world thinks of our country and of our leaders and policies. Some, on the other hand, don't. It is because of those “some” that our country finds itself so isolated and at times “disliked.” But, then again, those “some” don't care about that either.
