Sarah Palin: The New Nightmare

A month ago, Slate's David Plotz detailed the horrific nightmares he and his colleagues had begun having about the "scolding ominous figure" that is Sarah Palin (inspiring this blog to post the artistic rendering at left).

After weeks of what we mistook for relative nocturnal peace, it appears that the liberal subconscious has once again succumbed to Palin's nightly torment.

Three weeks ago, I met with a therapist for the first time in my life. I'm a very happy guy -- great family, great job, great girlfriend, tons of Facebook friends -- no problems that a glass of scotch couldn't fix. But ever since the beginning of September, I've gone 100% bats*** crazy. Why? Because come next year, John McCain and Sarah Palin might be running this country. I can't concentrate at work. I can't hold a normal conversation about anything besides politics. At night, I'm afraid to go to sleep because I know that Sarah Palin is waiting for me in Dreamland, like Freddy Krueger but dumber and more evil.

Several commenters at Huffington Post commiserate with this wretched sufferer of "MPSD" (McCain/Palin Sleep Disorder).
