Alternate title for this post: "Is Sarah Palin BI?" But I didn't want to go there, and I'm sure you appreciate that.
But here in the US, the presidential election season is nearly over (just a few more days to go) and many people are getting sick and tired of listening to the candidates talk. But for the last few months (or years) they have been talking a lot, and people have been transcribing what they say for the press and for prosperity.
And someone (sadly I do not know who[1]) has taken those words, particularly the words of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and run them through the text mining features of SQL Server Integration Services. And the UK IT news web site The Register has the scoop.
What's not to love? Politics, plus killer BI tools, plus dry British humor[2] is a surefire recipe for holiday laughs.
Happy Halloween!
[1] Although if the author of the SSIS package reads this and wants to share the DTSX with me, I would love to have it ;-)
[2] Or does that need to be "humour?"

I saw a demo during Microsoft BI Conference 2008 BI Power Hour by Donald Farmer with very similar SSIS package. I believe he wrote this package.
Thanks - I'll have to ping him then. This does sound like something that would match Donald's sense of humo(u)r. ;-)
