Sarah Palin's dead lake

By promoting runaway development in her hometown, say locals, Palin has "fouled her own nest" -- and that goes for the lake where she lives.

    Thanks Salon. Like Your Palin Coverage

    I have a Salon headline feed to my Google Homepage. I read your Palin stories whenever their headlines appear. Sure - I have some concern that you are preaching to the choir, so to speak, but, well, I am the choir and you preach so well.

    I'm in my fifties, a baby boomer, and a working mom. As someone who has actually uttered the phrase "women's liberation," I am fascinated by Palin. She really sets my head on fire. Love to hate her.

    Gotta go to work now, but will continue to follow your Palin stories. Oh, yes, and if you do manage write a a Palin story that tries really hard to show a good side to her, I'll read that as well. Because, basically, it sickens me to believe that she is as shallow, opportunistic, vengeful, and short-sighted as she appears in every single account of her in every media outlet, not just yours. Even the firecracker qualities her supporters claim to love, are loathsomely reductive. Is there an actual human hiding somewhere behind Palin's strange hair, harsh makeup, and ugly glasses?

    Keep us posted.
