Good evening, Netizens...

2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is joining Fox News as a contributor, the news channel announced Monday. Now before you toss your beer cans at your monitor, you might think about her press release that stated, "I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News. It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."


Fair and balanced news? Oh dear.


As of this evening there has been no release from Fox about when she will begin her new job or how much she will get paid. All that is known is she has signed a multi-year deal to offer her political commentary and analysis across all Fox News platforms, including Fox Business Channel, FoxNews.com and Fox News Radio.


Ironically Palin has a college degree in journalism, and a working knowledge of sports.
