    It's not Kamiya who invented the dominatrix persona

    Lets give Gary a break, and take some deep breaths.

    Kamiya's article is both serious and funny commentary. Palin is serious business, but the Republicans are having a ball with her pitbull image. Without stooping to lying at all, dems can fight fire with fire.
