BlogCatalog - Palin and Fox

I was amazed with the type of responses received when I polled BlogCatalog with the question of Governor Palin taking the job at Fox News. Usually I can obtain a feel for public sentiment from the site. The tend to do a pretty good job filtering out the trolls. After reading a few responses, I've come to the conclusion that I still may be correct in my assessment of the Trojan Horse Theory. It's the old adage, "Keep you friends close but keep you enemies closer".

The majority of comments made at the site were positive about the position, believing it would afford her with important exposure. I'm often suspect at the opinion and the decisions made by the majority except when fleeing from some type of natural/national disaster. There's something about the mass consciousness's ability to be right on when in survival mode. Sadly, on many random insignificant issues where the outcome isn't obvious, I tend to question or not agree with the majority. Why? Because the little foxes eating grapes at the lower levels destroy the vine. (Song of Solomon 2:15)

For most of my life, I have been self-employed. My parents were self-employed. My grandparents were self-employed. I'm not against working for others but, I have always lived my life adhering to two basic principles in regards to working for others. 1. No one does anything for nuthin. 2. Don't trust anyone, especially the boss.

I myself interviewed for a job with a major firm yesterday. My prospective employer asked me if I wanted to ask any candid questions. I stated, "Do I have to put on a mussle and stay in the barn?"

I heard a joke yesterday that said, "You know it's gonna be a good day when you're eating you morning breakfast and you notice you're boss's face on the milk carton...lol...that's bad...lol

There's a tactic used in Pro Sports whereby organizations will hire players that they consider threats to the organization then bench them.

Consider Heisman Trophy Winner Andre Ware. He rarely got off the bench.

With all the back room deals and subversive tactics of this current administration, one can only hope that the new job works out good for Mrs. Palin. Personally, I feel that the White house is way to concerned with controlling the media. Such a thing I've never seen in my entire 55 years in America. Me thinks the media powers are way to controlling of public opinion. What happened to the concept of, "if it bleeds, it leads."

I also feel that Governor Palin should in no way subjugate herself to McCain for the good of the GOP. It appears to me that they don't have her best interest at heart. I wouldn't trust them a bit.

My advice, don't let them offer you a ton of money and then bench you. But, who am I but just another dummy who voted cause Obama looked black.
