Yesterday this post became the most widely read post at RedState in the past six months.
It’s important to note that the title “The Beauty of Sarah Palin” is very search friendly. Our post titles pick up pretty good.
Oh, and Josh, you’ve got RedHot posting privileges for the next week. Enjoy.

Wow, I'm floored!
Josh Painter (Diary) Saturday, August 30th at 1:18PM EST (link)Thanks, Erick, and thanks, commenters. I remember back a couple of weeks ago when I originally posted it thinking that it was one of the better things that I had written. But then it only received a few comments, and I thought, “Well, maybe not.” It’s so hard to judge one’s own work.
But now, thanks to Sen. McCain’s gutsy decision and all the attention the Palin pick has generated, it has an audience. Good thing too. I’m out of work, going on retirement next month, and I’m looking for a part-time income stream. Perhaps it will land me that great writing job I’ve been dreaming of, LOL!
Thanks again, good folks.

Great job, Josh Painter. Now
Flagstaff (Diary) Saturday, August 30th at 3:27PM EST (link)go back into your diary and add the “Sarah Palin” tag so it will be aggregated with the other Sarah Palin diaries.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
speaking of tags? what good are they? How do we access same subject tags?
