The Interview

Quick, what's your favorite color? Mine is crimson, since it just happens to be the predominate color of my favorite college football program. I know. Who cares? Perhaps a more interesting question then would be "Why must we have a favorite color?" After all, yellow is choice for sports cars & ribbons, but not so much for snow. Green sits well on trendy environmentally conscious politicians, but not on bread! We can play this game all day long.

Blackened: shrimp pasta? Excellent! Toast? Bad!

Brown: Steak crust? Preferable. Baby diaper? That's a problem.

Burnt Orange: Arizona sunset? Picturesque! College Football team? Surely you jest.

The reason I entertain such thought is because last week America's rising voice for the common man, Glenn Lee Beck, devoted an entire hour of his cable television program to interviewing our nation's Heart of Freedom, & newest Fox News contributor, Governor Sarah Louise Palin.

During the course of the interview Beck asked the Governor who her favorite founding father was. Palin initially replied "All of them". To no surprise other networks with laughable ratings, bitter bloggers still living in their parent's basement & even Youtube communities were spewing their usual venom of hate, claiming "Palin doesn't know her history". Yadi-yadi-yaduh. Blah-blah-blah. Sleep, slumber, snooze, shut-eye, ZZzzzzzzzz....

But I was surprised when the bloviator himself, William James O'Reilly even weighed in on the interview stating she had "bombed" (cynical air quotes if ever there were any) that particular question.

All in the eye of the beholder Billy. For what would Montana have been without the genius of Walsh? Abbot without Costello? Peanut Butter without Grape Jelly? Truly, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And such is the case with our founding fathers. By God's grace & providence, each brought a variety of talents, background, education & perspective to the table that produced the finest nation in human history.

Jefferson's gifted writings, Adam's formal education, Franklin's timely diplomacy, or Washington's enduring leadership. Like Nacho Cheese Doritos, hard to pick just one! All played critical roles at a pivitol time in our nation's history. Wooden shoe agree? ;0>

So..."Bombed?" Think again O'Reilly & Beck. There's a reason Scripture often paints wisdom in the feminine gender. And in this case, The Barracuda is no exception.
