A 75 year old Texas rancher recently explained the term to a country doctor. The conversation turned to the US election and Sarah Palins vice presidential candidacy and the old rancher observed. "Well ya know Palin is a post-turtle". The bemused doctor asked what a fence post turtle was and the old man replied: "When you are driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, thats a fence post turtle". The rancher continued: "You know she did not get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with"
