Meetings Especially Irritating
Frustrated by the day-to-day encumbrances of governing, Sarah Palin today announced she is resigning so she can focus all her time on being a celebrity. Starting on July 25th, Palin will be free to travel the talk show circuit, present awards, sign autographs and be introduced at banquets without having to worry about running the country's largest state.

At a press conference in front of her Wasilla home, Palin explained her decision with three words: "Meetings, meetings, meetings." Palin also rejected speculation that this is in preparation for a run for the White House. "I just want more time to be with my family and to be famous," she said, adding, "There simply wasn't time to do those things well and be Governor. Something had to give."

CORRECTION: Though Palin didn't actually say any of the above, she did say something about wanting to 'affect change.' Why she'd choose a Friday of a holiday weekend to start affecting, however, remains a mystery.
