All eyes are on Sarah Palin’s left hand—you might even call it a vast left-wing conspiracy—after it doubled as a cheat sheet during a Q&A at the National Tea Party Convention. For those wondering, the words/talking points she had written on her palm were: “energy,” “tax” and “lift American spirits.” Palin did something I’ve always wanted to do in middle school, but since I annoyingly knew all of the answers and would have required 20 extra palms to paraphrase the textbook in the longest manner imaginable the opportunity never presented itself. But if I were in Palin’s shoes, I would have totally scribbled on an American-made shoe and used the publicity to promote American footwear.
