my name's Cue Manhunt Palin, what's yours?

Whatever your politics, you have to admit this is amusing: the Sarah Palin baby name generator. See what you would have been called if born into that family.

And if your politics are something like mine, then see what the causes-me-to-weep-because-she-is-so-amazing Anne Lamott has to say about this. Here's a tidbit:

Figure out one thing you can do every single day to be a part of the solution, concentrating on swing states. Money, walking precincts, registering voters, whatever. This is the only way miracles ever happen -- left foot, right foot, left foot, breathe. Right foot, left foot, right foot, breathe. The great novelist E.L. Doctorow once said that writing a novel is like driving at night with the headlights on: You can only see a little ways in front of you, but you can make the whole journey this way. It is the truest of all things; the only way to write a book, raise a child, save the world.
