A Million Pieces

Is it possible to break a heart that's already in shambles?
If it is my friend, you executed flawlessly.
A million pieces were scattered on the floor,
And you came along to hurt me more.
Naive little me knew your past history,
But gave you the benefit of the doubt.
I should have known better.
I should have known you were exactly the same,
And deep down inside of me I think that I did.
Now I'm stuck lying here with my heart on the ground,
Waiting for someone who can save me to come around.
Though I know deep down the only one who can save me is myself,
I still lie here waiting for somebody's help.

Sarah Palin's Alaska, a smart political move?


I can't believe that Sarah Palin, with as little political experience as she has, might possibly run for President of the United States in 2012. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that she didn't even complete one entire term as Governor of Alaska. The fact that John McCain chose her to be his running mate during the 2008 election has me in awe to this day. I understand his mindset at the time. He believed that people who would have voted for Hillary Clinton would vote for him because he had a woman candidate for his Vice President. He HONESTLY believed that strong, independent, women that would have voted for Clinton because of her political views would have switched parties during the election due to the fact that his running mate was a woman. Silly, silly McCain.

Although I don't necessarily agree with where Sarah Palin is going with her reality tv show, I do believe it is an attempt at a political movement; however, I don't believe she will become successful politically by doing the tv show. Will people watch the show? Of course they will. Will people who care enough about politics to inform themselves about people who have the potential to govern Americia watch the show? I highly doubt it. Having this show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," will not urge people to go vote. Rather, it will urge people to change the channel to CNN, CSPAN, or (as much as I hate to admit it) Fox News. Many people that take politics seriously already take her as a joke because she appeared on Saturday Night Live. Having her own reality show and appearing on Entertainment Tonight will merely add to the joke that she has allowed herself to become.
