WHAT I HATE TODAY: Your daily dose of negative energy

Today I hate Sarah Palin, so I signed up for email updates from her PAC. Because hating Sarah Palin feels really good, like picking at a scab, so every time I get an email from Sarah Palin over the next two years until she announces her candidacy for 2012 I'll be able to get that scab-pickin' good feeling all over again and again.

SarahPAC's logo depicts the Lower 48 with Alaska silhouetted inside of it. It's actually pretty sweet, and it's nice to see Alaska shown at its terrifying true size instead of getting shrink-wrapped in a little box off the coast of California. But... where's Hawaii? Now I know that Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska, not Hawaii, and I know that Hawaii is a narsty blue state that spawned B-A-R-A-C-K-O-B-A-M-A. But simple fairness would seem to dictate that if Alaska gets a seat at the grown-up's table, Hawaii ought to get one as well.
