Getting caught up over at Daily Kos right now, and saw this from yesterday morning:
Things to listen for in the near-future:
"I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States..."
"In the news today, President Obama called on Americans to..."
"The Obama administration says it's tackling the issue aggressively..."
"Republicans condemned/accused/attacked President Obama today..."
"The House and Senate have passed, and President Obama signed, sweeping legislation..."
"The first question of this and all future press conferences will go to Helen Thomas. Go ahead, Helen." "Thank you, Mr. President..."
"President Obama's cabinet picks have been hailed as smart, shrewd, and diverse..."
"For the first time in years, polling shows that Americans feel like the country is on the right track again..."
"President Obama, with the backing of General Petraeus and the Iraqi government, announced significant troop reductions this week..."
"Once again, the Republican effort to mount a filibuster failed miserably..."
"After two weeks on the job, Republicans called for Obama's impeachment today, and were literally laughed out of the chamber..."
"OPEC panics as Obama White House announces massive alternative energy push..."
"You're watching Alaska Cable Access Channel 2. Welcome to Hockey Talk with your host, Sarah Palin..."
"You're watching Alaska Cable Access Channel 2. Welcome to Hockey Talk with your host, Sarah Palin..."
I think there is a high probability of there being Senator Palin before too long.
Can she appoint herself to be Senator?
Corwood, has he seen Cars? There's a "Serpentine!" line in that, too.
Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about that. Maybe he thought I was making a funny.
"The first question of this and all future press conferences will go to Helen Thomas. Go ahead, Helen." "Thank you, Mr. President..."
This one made me teary... I love Helen Thomas!
If Stevens is expunged from the Senate it will result in a special election, that's how I think she'll get there.
Todd can be the acting senator while they have their special election.

Actually, I've been having this delightful fantasy that Sarah Palin goes back to Alaska, her husband's wackaloon party gets the state to secede and they make it a monarchy with her as queen. With oil prices down and no money from the U.S. government, things go bad quickly and they're back to subsistence hunting. (And, speaking of hunting, going by the looks she was giving McCain Tuesday night - and Cheney's hunting, um, accident - might she have succumbed to temptation and cleared her path to the presidency?)

Hey, now. I love my home state, and I have no wish to make my mom start bowhunting. Can't we just get them to throw Palin and the Good Ol' Boys network (aka Stevens, Young, et al.) out?
