I had a dream the other night about Sarah Palin. I don't like Sarah Plain anyway, so have a creepy dream about her doesn't really surprise me. But it's a bad situation because I did that thing that I do sometimes after having weird dreams where I couldn't immediately remember what was real and was just from my fucked up imagination, like the time I had a dream in high school that I was simultaneously pregnant and the star of 'Felicity.'
I don't recall a lot of details of the dream, so here's the basic gist. I was friends with one of her kids. It may have been Bristol, but I'm only saying that because she's the oldest girl. It may very well have been a child that I just made up. And I was either out past my curfew or I was hiding out from a serial killer and was therefore forced to hide from the Palin parents in some sort of post-apocalyptic Alaskan wilderness newly built suburban looking home. And I don't really have a clear recollection of anything else EXCEPT FOR THIS PART. I was discovered by Sarah Palin, and she was going to drive me home through the fire and brimstone back country where apparently a lot of 'Time Machine'-like Morlockian people inhabited the area. And she let me know this: "The only other white people besides us out here will be the Jewies."
I should probably explain that that sentence is almost certainly partially because I read Michael Chabon's 'Yiddish Policeman's Union,' ere go always giving me the false idea that Alaska is a land full of Jews making a desperate independent state of their separate from Israel. But I love how my unconscious brain decided that's how Sarah Palin would describe that same landscape if it was juxtaposed over her own current homeland. And the creepiest part, the reason I still remember that last sentence out of what was surely a long and convoluted dream, is because I heard it in a perfect imitation of that weird midwestern-Canadian accent of hers. so now I'm screwed because I will always falsely attribute this offensive and entirely made-up quotation to a woman full of offensive and entirely made up statistics of her own.
