Like many of you I suffer from Palin fatigue now and again. She is a nobody yet she finds a way to insert herself, via Twitter and Facebook, into every hot topic that comes along and the giant online echo chamber magnifies and multiplies her upside-down world screeching. If nothing else is going on she'll make up something to be outraged about.
So the question is (please vote in the poll on the left): what if we set aside a week or two where we just didn't pay attention to any of her stupefying antics? What would happen? Would we explode? Would she?
For my part, I'd promise not to blog about anything Palin, nor would I read or comment on any other stories that featured her.
Of course, if during that period she tries to be somebody again, say by running for public office, I think it would be my -- and all of our -- responsibility to remind everyone of who she's proven herself to be.
We could start a Facebook group to promote the idea and get buy-in: "Ignoring Sarah Palin for her own good!" Or something like that... What do you think?
