I love the sober, serious and well reasoned arguments that you and (too) few of your peers are starting to publish about Palin. We really need you to continually encourage those peers to get back (quickly!) to serious journalism, convince them there's a market for it, and steer our national dialog back to important issues and away from the vapid topics (lipstick on a pig) that have been dominating of late. By doing so you will all take some heat from the right-wingers, and a few of you will sustain some serious career damage from them, but it's for the good of the country. Get the truth out.
