United Church of Canada people might enjoy Kathleen Norris's perceptions of the U.S. election:

One of the world's most profound and best-selling authors on Christian spirituality and I were having a laugh this week at the expense of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin.

Award-winning Kathleen Norris, who divides her time between South Dakota and her home state of Hawaii, was in town to give a talk at the Vancouver Club about her compelling new book, Acedia and Me: A Marriage, Monks and a Writer's Life.

Ever since the US Republicans announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will run as John McCain’s pick as Vice President, the media has been all over her for abandoning her five children. Here’s just a sample: 

"Children with Down syndrome require an awful lot of attention,” said CNN’s John Roberts. “The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?"

yes, the report was released friday, and states that  republican vice presidential candidate indeed broke ethics laws and 'abused her power' while in office.  however, it concluded that there were to be no criminal charges.

what do you think... will this be the final nail in the mccain coffin?
