Sarah's List Is Looking Good

Quiz time. Which is the bigger shakeup: Becoming a late-in-life mom (Shake-up #92) or an early-in-life grandma? Ask Sarah Palin, who, at age 43, has done both in just eight months. (Throw in the vice-presidential stuff, and she’s had quite a year.) Either way, it’s a shock to the system, and potentially the most wonderful thing that could happen. It’s all in how you look at it, and what you make of a change that turns your world upside down. Maybe, if it happens twice in one year, you actually end up on your feet.

So, Congrats, Gov. Palin. Twice.
