Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has launched a political action committee, SarahPAC.

PACs are groups – regulated by federal law -- that use donations to influence elections. The basic rules are that donors may contribute up to $5,000 per PAC per year and PACs may contribute up to $5,000 per candidate per election (with primaries and general elections counted separately. (Read more from the Center for Responsive Politics.)

The PAC's Web site is pretty sparse, offering some political boilerplate ("Our country, founded on conservative principles and the fight for freedom, must confront the challenges of the 21st century with integrity, innovation, and determination"), several shout-outs for energy independence, a form to sign up for e-mails and, pivotally, a place to donate ...

She is expected to address the Conservative Political Action Committee meeting in Washington next month ...

1. Will she be a sort of... hmmmm.... sacrificial anode? Like a zinc

plate attached to the side of an outboard motor? Something that will fade away of its own accord? Yes she will.

2. Oh, How I would love

to see her running again. It makes for great weekend TV!

3. On another note

"Aunt Sarah's" Naughty Monkey shoes went for $2,025.

6. Yeah, I wondered briefly who paid for them the first time, given auntie's tendency

to work on somebody else's nickel. I do not even want to think about why anybody bought them used: can "Aunt Sarah's old toothbrush" or "Aunt Sarah's college cliff notes" be far behind?

[curious one]

4. Now I am sure that this woman is insane.

5. Every freaking week there is another freakshow story about this

spotlight jones'n hick. Why don't you just do your fucking job Sarah, Alaskan citizens are freezing and starving to death. Order an airllift of food and send some oil vouchers or something.

President Obama gets to stay in office for another 4 years!
