Advanced age has its privileges, one of them to fantasize publicly about asking out a married woman without fear of being beaten up for it. So with apologies to my loved ones (and Todd, of course), my dream date for New Year's Eve is bubbly Sarah Palin.
Imagine being greeted at the door, corsage in hand, with congratulations for dodging death panels and some snappy remark like "How's that hopey changey thing working out for you?"
We could start making the rounds of consolation parties, first for Joe Miller at one of those clubby Wasila saloons, where as Jason Jones of the Daily Show has said, "A stranger is just a friend you haven't thrown up on yet."
Then on to Christine O'Donnell's do where the canapes, contrary to nasty Joe Biden rumors, will not be on the taxpayers and, time permitting, hoisting a drink with those other Palin-backed losers who have enough millions of their own to pick up the tab.
All this gadding around would work up an appetite for one of those famous Palin desserts like "s’mores," made with marshmallows, Hershey bars and graham crackers, “in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert.”
But eating and drinking alone do not a great date make. The real treat would be Palin's linguistic gems, which could later turn up on Facebook. Modestly, she attributes her contribution of the year to the English language, "refudiate," to a typo, but those who have followed her verbal adventures know better. Half the fun of being with her is the surprise of not knowing what she will say next.
To those churls who prefer Barack Obama's way with words, imagine a 2012 campaign without Sarah Palin's sparkle. That would be as dreary as a date with one of your old professors.
I wouldn't dream of asking him out to see in the New Year.

If it is any consolation to Half-Governor Palin, I would vote for her in a Presidential primary. Christine O'Donnell may even be available for a VP nomination if the Grand Jury is not in session.
As we ring out the Old Year and herald in the New, no End Time would be complete without Apocalypstick Palin at our side. May her acquaintance be soon forgotten.
I've recently heard/seen on TV somewhere that though many like her, those same people would probably not actually vote for Sarah Palin.
Right now, I think I'm one of them...maybe she's too vivacious? But yeah, I really like her.
It had been opined that, if she was planning to have a go at the Oval Office, she might be using this intervening time to bone up on issues/policies etc., with some serious reading/study. Maybe tone down that perkiness. I think a more knowledgeable-sounding presentation of herself couldn't hurt.
