Sarah Palin is quoted today as saying "We're all Arizonians now" and "Mr. President, do your job--secure our border!".
I say Frost understood better. In "Mending Wall", he describes Palin perfectly:
He moves in darkness as it seems to me~
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbors.
[ snark ] dear mrs. palin. i'm just going to assume that my relatives came to this country before yours did. why? because mine founded newport, rhode island and fought in the revolutionary war. maybe that's a bad assumption, but if it's true, because i'm in a snarky mood i'd like to say that it's too bad MY relatives didn't protect our borders better so that YOUR relatives couldn't cross them.
