Palin's "Independence Day" is coming soon

Sunday is the day when Palin will be free of the anklebiters, frivolous complaint filers, the "Celtic Diva" and all the rest who tried to use her position as Alaska's governor to destroy her. It certainly wasn't the path Palin originally intended to take, but she will succeed with it. Just like everything else she's done and been successful with. If *anyone* can do it, it's her.

There will be a series of picnics this weekend where Alaskans can see Palin before she leaves, and watch Lt. Governor Parnell get sworn in on Sunday.

Alaskans can picnic with Sarah Palin over the next three days before she steps down as governor.

It's an annual tradition for Alaska governors and includes free food, live entertainment, games and activities for children and "much more," according to a press release from Palin's office.

The first is today at IditaPark in Palin's hometown of Wasilla from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The next one is Saturday at the Delaney Park Strip in Anchorage from noon to 3 p.m.

Finally, there is the Fairbanks picnic from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday at Pioneer Park (formerly Alaskaland.) That will be Palin's last event as Alaska's governor.

After the picnic, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be sworn in as her replacement.
