Hmmm, think I heard it once, actually.

Thanks for the 10 year riddle. Hard to believe Sarah flashed in the pan 11 yrs ago.

FYI, the "Oliver Twiddledee" line comes from a humorous 1962 jazz poetry single, "Cinderella", by Jack Ross.

Of course, there's a world of difference between tipping your king when you're at an insurmountable material advantage in the end-game or dribbling the ball for the last ten seconds when your team is down by twenty and just walking away half-way through the game.

i think you can also quit with honor

I'll second this, and support it with a quote from the immortal bard:

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.

There is a proper time to quit. Knowing where that line is separates the tenacious from the idiots on one side and from the weak-willed on the other. (Of course, as in Palin's case, one can be both.)

nice to have you back and a well-written return! ... i was hoping you hadn't 'quit' on us! the only caveat i have to your analogy is quitting is sometimes preferable like when basketball teams are down double digits late in the game and then decide to prolong the agony and go on their retarded fouling sprees. i hate that. and while losing may often be noble, i think you can also quit with honor, clearly something that was not done in palin's hastily prepared, rambling resignation speech.
