Science Fiction Fanatics for Sarah

Like science fiction? Like Sarah Palin? Then join the new group Science Fiction Fanatics for Sarah at Team Sarah.

My mother and I were so inspired by Sarah Palin since she was announced as the VP pick. (If only she was equally inspired by science fiction--- though she does think David Tennant of Doctor Who is cute.)

Anyway, if you feel likewise consider joining Science Fiction Fanatics for Sarah because it needs members bad.

Note: I'm not allowed to post the whole article here because Associated Content owns it. Or me. I'm not sure which.
