My Dad Wrote Me A Letter in His LA WEEKLY Column: "Dear Daughter: Sarah Palin, Live Like Her." :

This is fantastic.

Here you are, almost age 25, with what your mother and I believed was a solid education behind you and, yet, you are nothing but a common community organizer. Yes, the labor union you work for as an organizer represents nearly 2 million service workers – about three times the population of Alaska. But, alas, as Governor Palin pointed out, you have no real responsibilities. By helping janitors, security guards, nursing aides and orderlies gain a living wage, paid health care and a retirement fund, you have only robbed them of the personal initiative needed to go out there and make something better of themselves.
