Go Matt, go.

"Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power."

She worked as a librarian at City Island for more than a decade. She currently served as the acquisitions librarian at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. She loved her family, reading, travel, and her dog, Dylan. She had a wonderful sense of humor. Because of her great skin, she always appeared younger than her actual age.

Yozgat; her sister, Rizan; her brother, Kim, all of Gainesville; her aunt and uncle, Margaret and Herb Taylor, Jupiter; numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins, in the United States and Turkey.
