Sarah Palin Is The Bridge To Nowhere

My friends Rachel and Scott started an synthpunk band in San Francisco late in the 70s, The Units. I signed them to my indie label, 415 Records and we released a groundbreaking record, Digital Stimulation. I never met Rachel's mom, the artist Helen Webber. For all the talk of woman of a certain age in states like Pennsylvania, I don't think anyone was thinking about Helen Webber, who is 80 and lives in Exton, PA. Rachel and Scott sent me this from Helen today:

SARAH 
PALIN
IS 
THE 
BRIDGE
TO 
NOWHERE.

Nowhere is a place where woman have no choice regarding their bodies,
and are forced to bear babies even if their pregnancy is a result of rape or incest.

Nowhere is a place where wolves, bears and other wildlife are hunted and killed
without mercy, at the whim of gun toting hunters.  

Nowhere is a place where we can spread lies about our political opponents without
regret or shame.

Nowhere is a place where we don't worry or care about global warming and the health of
our oceans, lands, and creatures because we are assured that whatever happens is "God's will".

Nowhere is a place where separation of state and church does not exist.

Nowhere is a place where government has the right to decide what books are in our public libraries.

Nowhere is a place 
from the Dark Ages,
where the rich and 
the powerful rule at 
their whim, where lip 
service is given to 
helping all the people, 
when in fact the powerful
help the powerful.

While you think about a Palin world view imposed on America, consider, to the sound of some of The Units' music, what we've just come through and ask yourself if you want more of this:
