You remember a couple months ago when everyone was concerned that Sarah Palin was going to be our VP? And then how after that, everyone started talking about how Sarah Palin is going to run for president in 2012? You mark my words: that will never happen.

I think one of the problems with being a human person, like most of us are, is that our brains have an absolute inability to contemplate anything that is not happening right now. So, for instance, when we see Sarah Palin is in the news at this moment, we can’t contemplate a time when she will not be in the news. Well, here is my prediction: in 4 years, Sarah Palin will no longer be in the news. No one will care about her, her 15 minutes will have run out, and she will either not run for president or be mercilessly destroyed before she gets anywhere. I mean, in 2007, it was clear to everyone that Giuliani was the next Republican candidate to beat, right?

I was thinking about this topic just the other day, our inability to place ourselves in the past or the future. Like, take something like health care or energy reform. One of the biggest arguments against trying to change these systems we have in place is it is too difficult to change things that have such a profound impact on our economy. 150 years ago, people thought the same about slavery, and we seem to have done all right without that. True, a bunch of people had to die when we decided to change that system. But something tells me no one would be quite as passionately attached to defending Pfizer.

My point here is that things change. And the more Sarah Palin opens her mouth, the stranger she seems. Yesterday, she said that Tina Fey had been “exploiting” her on Saturday Night Live. Sarah Palin is so deluded that she thinks, somehow, Tina Fey needed her. I think Tina was doing just fine for herself before you came along, Sarah. If anything, she was doing you a favor.

Here’s the thing: you just can’t hide stupid, and Sarah Palin is STUPID. George Bush was stupid, too, but he was also the son of a President. I will always be convinced that he got elected in 2000 because a large percentage of his voters thought they were voting for the guy who was already President. Sarah Palin is stupid without pedigree. You mark my words: people will lose their interest soon enough.

I just read today that Kate Hudson is only 29. Doesn’t it seem like she’s a middle-aged dinosaur from the Reagan era? Yet Almost Famous came out in 2000. In a little over 8 years, Kate Hudson has gone from America’s sweetheart to Norma Desmond. It really makes you think.
