New York, Oct. 15 : Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has become so repetitive in her attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama that it has come to be called Palinopsia by the New York Daily News.
The name of this metaphorical disturbance is derived not from Palin ,the Alaskan governor, but from Greek, "Palin" meaning "again," and "opsia" meaning "seeing."
The sufferers see after images, sometimes fleetingly "positive" ones true to the original, often protracted "negative" ones that invert what is actually there. The after images are usually accompanied by "visual snow."
