there was also a rally in Alaska of Women against Palin, and it seems the only real airtime it got was when a local shock jock came on the radio and called the organizers and protesters maggots and read the organizers' phone numbers on the air and invited his listeners to call them and harass them.

What no one down here knows is that there were more people at the anti-Palin demonstration than there were at the Palin Welcome Home rally.

In other news, I have to commend you for your correct use of the word "tack." I cannot tell you how many authors write, "on another tact."
