They abbreviate themselves JASP, which is probably why they didn’t go with Jewish Americans for Palin. But we’ll let that pass, because we’re fascinated by their mission statement:

Though not at present a candidate for any political office, Gov. Palin’s track record in public office has been exemplary…

That would include:

• Wasilla City Council, 1992-1996
• Wasilla Mayor, 1996-2002
• Alaska Governor, December 2006-July 2009

Wasilla’s population in 2000 was 5,570. Alaska’s population in 2008 was 686,293. Eighteen U.S. cities hold more souls than the largest government Palin briefly ran — including San Francisco (808,976). Nancy Pelosi has more claim to represent real Americans than Sarah Palin.

But we digress. Because really, with a mission statement like that, we need only ask: Is that the best you can do?

Stormy stands down:

I am not running for the US Senate because I am an adult entertainment star. I am not running for the US Senate for the same reason that so many dedicated patriots do not run — I can’t afford it. On this day in particualar, we should all take time to reflect on the loss to our country that comes from the sad fact that those who may truly desire to contribute to our society are barred by those who only seek to unjustly profit off it.

But she’s not giving up:
