> I was a bit annoyed the other day when someone on TV remarked that someone else had Sarah Palin bangs. SP didn’t invent bangs. I have bangs, I’ve had the same hairstyle for a while now, before I’d even heard of Palin and if anyone dares suggest I have an SP hairstyle I might punch them in the nose.

I hear ya. I have contemplated going as Sarah Palin for Halloween. Except that I’m blonde, I could do my hair - with bangs - the way she does, wear a suit, and with my eyeglasses I could really pass for her. Throw in a couple of bouts of "pageant walkin’ " and a few “you betchas” and I’d have people rolling on the floor I’m sure.

I’m not going to do this though, because I don’t want people, even jokingly, referring to me as Sarah Palin later on or commenting about how my glasses or my hair DO look like hers. Darth Vader, an IRS auditor, Satan, a zombie - those are all fine costumes for me. Not SP.
