Excerpt:

3. Church and State

Like the Governor, I now also believe that my will is perfectly aligned
with God's will. When Governor Palin said that it was God's will for the
Alaska pipeline to be built and asked for people to pray for that to
happen, I was really inspired by her confidence in the absolute,
seamless integration of her will and God's will. I have begun practicing
this kind of supreme confidence on a smaller scale, but I am sure that I
can quickly move to national issues. Starting with the sartorial, I know
that it is God's will that I have the entire Chanel collection for the
fall season, including those adorable high-heeled booties that were all
over the runway shows.

(A couple things I'm still having trouble with regarding the will of
God: I knew it was God's will that I win the Grammy in 2007 for my last
record, but Bob Dylan won. This is clearly the work of Satan, but
shouldn't my will/God's will have been strong enough to override that?
And this Alaska pipeline--if it is God's will to have the pipeline
built, then why isn't it built already? On a related topic, I don't own
a single piece of Chanel.)
