Hello. My name is Timothy. I'm a writer, etc. I live and work in Knoxville, Tennessee. Please enjoy this blog.

Ms. Palin’s third point was more striking still: in contrast to the sweeping paeans to capitalism and the free market delivered by the Republican presidential candidates whose ranks she has yet to join, she sought to make a distinction between good capitalists and bad ones. The good ones, in her telling, are those small businesses that take risks and sink and swim in the churning market; the bad ones are well-connected megacorporations that live off bailouts, dodge taxes and profit terrifically while creating no jobs.

Strangely, she was saying things that liberals might like, if not for Ms. Palin’s having said them.

Some of Sarah Palin’s Ideas Cross the Political Divide - NYTimes.com

Interesting ideas from Sarah Palin, though I’m suspicious. She lambasts the “permanent political class” while seemingly doing everything she can to make a fortune off of being a part of that scene. 

Taking the ideas separate from the personality, I have to say the message is compelling.
