Actually, it's better translated as "again". But I'm sure something as
simple as a fact will keep liberals from quoting it as you have.

If politics as usual is considered "forward", then we can use a little
Palin.

"The Greek word for "again" or "backward" is palin."

http://www.drbilllong.com/GrLaRoots/lysis.html



The Obamanites should not take much comfort from this. "Obama"
derives from the Kenyan dialect verb meaning, "slightly bent", or,
"twisted".

Interesting. How about a citation/reference (seriously).

For my part, I concluded that "McCain's VPPick was beyond the palin."
And that this phrase may well be adopted into our lexicon as Sarah
replaces the old English fencepost.
