Dear Governor Palin,
I know there’s a double standard in men and women’s fashion: nobody cares (or notices) if McCain wears the same black suit Monday as he does Thursday. And all those red-and-blue striped ties start to run together after awhile, too. You would get called out by the press and by snarky fashionistas for wearing the same black suit all the time—and your suits are pretty fantastic.
But $150,000? That would pay for all of my outstanding undergraduate and graduate school loans. Twice.
Yours sincerely,
Laura M. Browning





God bless Sarah. She’s like our own Imelda Marcos!
Yes, but if you had 150,000 dollars to spend on luxuries, would you instead go looking for a former graduate student with enormous debts?
