What the . . . ?

What are they thinking? Major media outlets are asking readers to help them go through Sarah Palin's official emails during her term as the governor. What are the instructions? What are readers supposed to report? I guess we'll know it when we see it.

The most sinister thing from the standpoint of the media is that many of them were redacted, i.e. parts blacked out.

I picture the boy who receives a huge box of manure for Christmas sifting through it gleefully and saying "There's a pony in here somewhere!"

Or the New York Times with a masthead reading "Pequod".
