Daniel Kurtzman has a great gallery of Sarah Palin photos, fake photos, and parodies, including some new ones about her quitting: There are even a few that note that if Palin runs for president in 2012, that’s around the year the Mayan calendar predicts that the world will end: Be sure to see the one […]
Also, a great answer to the question of whether or not Palin is planning on running for President in 2012 from Electoral Vote: She probably doesn’t know what she is going to do in 2012 yet. God will tell her when he’s ready to do so. © Donna Barstow © Clay Bennett © Chip Bok […]
