See Russia from the back porch of the ambassadors residence
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Attend funerals of minor functionaries.

Surely a small team of ambassadors could travel for such events?

I don't even know what that means, so Palin will think we sent her to Saturn.

I have to wonder.... if we passed a hat around - and I'm using an extremely broad 'we' here - could we collect enough to make that happen? Sending her to Saturn?

If we can't raise enough funds to send her to Saturn all at once, we can send her one piece at a time.

Not exactly the ambassador, but embassy 'residents' have been known to recruit intelligence gathering operatives in occasion.

True, there is still need for an embassy. I just wonder if our fleet of ambassadors could be pared down to 15-25 stateside diplomats.
