William Shatner performs Sarah Palin’s resignation poem:

What? Palin was really trying to say in this poem that global warming evidence is best seen right in her own backyard. She can not come out and say it straight, for fear of upsetting her financial and political supporters, so a poem was written to ring the alarm more eloquently and safely.

Palin also seems to be paying homage to the late Luke Cole who died last month in a car accident. Last year he filed the Alaska Kivalina v. ExxonMobile et al case.

Thus, we should thank Palin for her resignation poem. It shows she has finally taken a stand, albeit with thick literary camouflage, for national security through environmental protection.
