The Case Of The Governor's Husband
Sherlock Holmes came into the America Wants to Know offices this morning with a newspaper in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other.

"Have you seen the New York Times this morning?" he asked, his eyes sparkling.

(snip)

"Precisely," Holmes said. He leaned forward and held the magnifying glass over the newspaper. "When Ms. Palin had to cut her first state budget," he read out loud in his clear, clipped manner, "she avoided the legion of frustrated legislators and mayors. Instead, she huddled with her budget director and her husband, Todd, an oil field worker who is not a state employee, and vetoed millions of dollars of legislative projects."

(snip)

He sat in silence for a moment. Then he stood and paced. "I expect that she will not release more than a summary of her financial records," he said. "You can see, of course, that there can be only one possible explanation for her husband to be consulted on millions of dollars in state spending."

Exciting conclusion:

5. And I just assumed she didn't understand the budgets and needed "help" with the math.
