Sarah Palin Incorporated

It's all about branding, baby. According to Politics Daily, Sarah Palin has filed paperwork with the U.S. Patent Office to trademark "Sarah Palin®" and "Bristol Palin®." Yes, she went there, shamelessly. Yes, it really is all about her. Yes, the Palin motto really is "show me the money." Very presidential, dontcha think? To paraphrase a quip from another pundit, this would be laugh-out-loud funny if it weren't so thoroughly pathetic.
