Ok, I was going to take a posting break and finish what I'm doing so I can leave at a decent time, but, this couldn't wait.
Daniel Larison's post from an hour ago dealing with Sarah Palin's (perceived?) newly affected folksiness had this great statement (click the title for the full post)
"Assuming an increase in aggregate folksiness, there are two realistic explanations: Palin has reverted to old habits of speech as crutches to cope with the additional pressure of being in the national spotlight (we can call this the SNL Theory of Increasing Adorability), or she has simply emphasized existing habits of speech that she has always had. "
My money's on SNL.
