Well, Josh Darn-it!
It’s 3:00A.M. in Washington. Things are just calming down from the debate earlier in the
evening and Sarah and her husband are sleeping soundly when the phone rings.
“Now, dog-gone it John! What is so important it can’t wait? Well, you-betcha I want to know
all about it ‘In The Morning’! It’s a school night for crying out loud!”
Palin slams down the receiver, rolls over and shakes her husband awake. “Gosh darn that
John sometimes!
“What is wrong Sarah? He asks scratching his head and yawning. “And why did you wake me up?
“Seems we are no longer the average Joe-six pack and hockey mom. John overheard some talk
tonight about a possible assassination attempt on Yahama."
“You mean Obama.”
“I never can get that right, gosh darn-it! Anyway, where were you tonight?”
“I was with you.”
“Well, dog-gone-it, where were we then?”
“Sarah, we were at the debate, remember? At least we have an alibi.”
“What is it? Dog-gone-it, think of something! This could be serious.”
“Ok. Ok. We left as soon as the debate was over. The children were cranky. We didn’t even
go to the bathroom, right?”
“No, by jolly, that won’t work. I was talking to Hillary in the dog-gone ladies room!”

“About what?”
“Oh, you know, the usual….politics, who’s sleeping with who, four years from now, that
darn Yahama.”
“You mean Obama! What did you say for crying out loud?”
“Nothing, really. I just said Yahama better get ready ‘cause we had a big bang up planned for
him at the next debate.….Hillary did shoot me a look, but I thought she was just jealous. Should I call
John back?”
“Nah…I’m sure they are listening, now go to sleep,” and rolls over.
Sarah’s eyes pop open wide as she scans the room in the dark.
