SciAm -- End of Days Danger
"On the conclusion of the less than stellar Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change in December, ex-governor and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who many think may make a White House run herself in 2012, twittered the world with the following:
“arrogant&naive2say man overpwers nature”
Although the Copenhagen conference could have been criticized on many fronts, it is hard to imagine that Palin’s remarkable statement represents anything other than a misplaced religious end-of-days argument of the type that asserts confidence in human dominion over the earth—and that God will ensure the planet remains fine in the face of human progress, until God decides to end it all and the worthy ascend to heaven."
See the whole essay here:

Will on Palin
George Will on Palin & Populism
Will draws parallels between the populism of Barry Goldwater and Sarah Palin -- and the media loathing they engendered -- and warns the GOP it should heed polls showing Palin doesn't have a chance at the presidency.
