Something Fishy In Juneau Besides Salmon

The capital is buzzing with speculation over our governor's erratic behavior. "Bailin' Palin" was scheduled to take part in Independence Day ceremonies here but mysteriously was a no-show--even though she was in town and we later saw her watching the annual parade from the sidelines. She has offered no explanation.

Word on the street is that she's been caught in another scandal, possibly of a financial nature.
Personally, I still think (see July 3rd entry) that she may just be trying to grab some headlines for her presidential campaign--even though the broad consensus is that the "bulldog in lipstick's" new image as a quitter is politically suicidal.
It should be noted that right before her resignation speech she had been out in the bush with a couple of her favorite religious crackpots. This might have something to do with her sudden decision to "follow a higher calling."

Anyway, this story ain't over. There's almost surely something we don't know, and we're just waiting here for the other shoe to drop. Should be interesting.
