Today, my alarm clock went off. It was an alarm I set three-and-a-half years ago, to check this prediction:
My opinion: the name "Sarah Palin" will be used in 2012 exclusively by page 8 news reports asking, "Remember when everybody was convinced Sarah Palin was going to be important? Whatever happened to that?"

The date: November 8, 2008, four days after the election. I suppose it's not quite true, but it's pretty darn close.
If I hadn't forgotten about this until today, I might have actually worried about it. It wasn't that long ago that will-she-or-won't-she was front page news. By then, it was hard to imagine why she was being taken seriously, and with the very-slightly-less stupid Michelle Bachmann in the race, she seemed redundant, as well as yesterday's news.
Really, though, I'm just here to either admire the Internet, or deplore the fact that I can set an alarm for three years hence and still be here to notice it when it goes off.
