It simply cannot be a coincidence that I became aware of these two news headlines today, and that I learned of them in the same sequence in which I'm presenting them to you.
First, from MSNBC.com (courtesy of the world's most wonderful wife):
Sarah Palin gets deal as Fox commentator*
And then, from the news site I love to hate, CNN.com:
Too much TV may mean earlier death
Anyone else thinking we have the cause and effect here?
* The article's subhead is, purportedly, a quote from Palin: "It's wonderful to be a part of a place that so values fair and balanced news." Yes, I get that she cleverly incorporated the network's mantra. But when does Fox give up that joke? I'm going to go work at Coca-Cola and tell people that it's wonderful to be a part of place that never sells any kind of liquid that contains sugar, chemicals and bubbles.

Oh, I dunno. They say laughter makes you live longer. So, maybe seeing Sarah Palin on TV will be good for people's health? I'm all about the silver linings. :)
ZM - I like that spin. But I don't know if I could laugh, unless it was Tina Fey doing the commentary. Clearly, you are more zen than I.
Now, if they could just have her do a point/counterpoint segment with Mitt Romney... then my head would explode.
Oh Zen...I love that your world is filled with puppies and rainbows.
YEO...this is classic!
Honestly, the only reason I watched Fox News was for Bill Hemmer - I think he's nice to look at!!!
Now, the fact that Fox hired Palin is going to cause me to never watch Fox - even Mr. Hemmer can't keep me a loyal fan if Fox can hire such a freakin' idiot.
I'm with Zen mom, Palin would make for amusing TV.
@daddygeek boy come over to my house and I'll show you puppies and rainbows! :)
