In my wide-ranging wanderings around the Web, I have found a few blogs that leave me absolutely flat-footed and slack-jawed with awe at their rich thinking and writing. The Dame Domain is one of them. (She and I are both contributors to MidLifeBloggers, which both thrills and terrifies me. I’m not worthy!)
Amid all the yammering about Sarah Palin, the GOP and the RNC, hers is one blogpost that made me sit up and take notice. Only the Dame could combine Palin, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine and the game of chess into one VERY original commentary.

As I just commented on her post, her analogy is more apt than she realizes because she doesn’t take it far enough. She posits Palin as the Queen in chess. What she doesn’t acknowledge is that the Queen is an inanimate object being moved by it’s ‘Owner’ as part of a game.

Oh, and P.S. As the editor of MidLifeBloggers, you are definitely worthy.
