At last America at least has a chance that a future president will like cows.
heck of a job!
She sounds exactly like... a Republican.
Who amongst us doesn't like cows?
Ms. Palin chose Talis Colberg, a borough assemblyman from the Matanuska valley, as her attorney general, provoking a bewildered question from the legal community: "Who?" Mr. Colberg, who did not return calls, moved from a one-room building in the valley to one of the most powerful offices in the state, supervising some 500 people.
"I called him and asked, ‘Do you know how to supervise people?’ " said a family friend, Kathy Wells. "He said, ‘No, but I think I’ll get some help.’ "
Whoa: there was a large (for Anchorage) protest against palin today: see
http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/s...ory/

I guess that really qualifies her now in the eyes of the GOP.

What the fuck. Is anyone paying attention?
"I decided that since it was only a category 2 on thursday that it probably wouldn't be a three so we didn't leave"
why the hell does anyone think they can accurately predict whether a hurricane will become a 3 by the time it hits land, when if you are WRONG you and your kids can lose your gdam lives. the woman lives between houston and galveston and didn't even board up her windows.
i need to turn off CNN.
In Wasilla, a builder said he complained to Mayor Palin when the city
attorney put a stop-work order on his housing project. She responded,
he said, by engineering the attorney’s firing.Something tells me investigation in Alaska into Troopergate is gonna get very interesting. Very.

The woman appears to be the master of cronyism.
What happens when you try to talk to a cow?
It just goes in one ear and out the udder.
I like sex. Does that mean I can be head of the FBI?

I'll go read about teh cows in a minute. In the meanwhile, have a receipt!
Toasted Ricotta-Gruyere Mini Sandwiches Makes 16 pieces
You could use a small round biscuit cutter to form these, but cutting them into triangles is quicker. If you omit the Gruyere, be sure to salt the ricotta.
4 slices brioche or white bread, sliced as thinly as possible (about 1/4-inch or less) -- About 1 tablespoon butter, melted-- A few shavings of Gruyere cheese (optional) 1/4 cup dense-textured ricotta cheese, such as Bellwether Farms-- Kosher salt, to taste -- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions: Preheat broiler. Trim crust from bread and lightly brush melted butter on top side. Arrange on a baking sheet and broil until lightly browned. Arrange a thin layer of Gruyere shavings, if using, on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread. Spread a thin layer, about 2
tablespoons, of ricotta on top of the Gruyere on each bread slice. Top with another thin layer of shaved Gruyere. Top with the remaining bread
slices, buttered side up. Press down a little to compact.
Just before serving, preheat oven to 400°. Place sandwiches on baking sheet and bake for about 5-8 minutes, just until cheese begins to melt.
With a serrated knife, cut each sandwich into 8 small wedges or triangles and use to garnish soup.
Per piece: 51 calories, 2 g protein, 8 g carbohydrate, 2 g fat (1 g saturated), 4 mg cholesterol, 108 mg sodium, 0 fiber.

Why are you questioning John McCain's integrity?
He doesn't like to talk about it but did you know he was a POW? And that he hire his former guard to be in charge of the US prison system in Arizona? True story, I heard if from some some body who knows stuff. No need to vett it I'm a political reporter. I'll just say that on the other hand Barak Obama is sleeping with a BLACK woman!

There was an article in this morning's NYT about some of the people who refused to leave, even though they had the means to. A few of them were acknowledging how dumb they were for staying, but almost sounded proud of it ... one of them said even the rats were smarter than he was, as he watched three of them trying to escape the water. I have a hard time feeling sorry for these people.

Hello all. Another day, another chapter of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants-On-Fire
BYU is beating UCLA 59-0 in the third quarter. Holy crap.
UCLA beat Tennessee a few weeks ago.
This is going to kill Tennessee in the computer rankings.
Can we afford four more years of Pappy O'Daniel? Four more years of cronyism, rascalism.. vote for Homer Stokes, a friend of the little man.
Sarah Palin will be instrumental in getting out the rural vote in November. Missouri, for instance, is probably safely in the bag for McCain w/ Palin.
To that extent, when I see a claim like this one posted by Atrios, the phrase 'whistlin past the graveyard' comes to mind.
It was pretty windy when I went for my firstday scoot, earlier. But hot, mostly sunny.
I drove my buddy to Eastside Detroit to pick up his new motorcycle. Then, because of the massive amounts of rain - which in turn caused many accidents, I ended up driving to Port Huron to get back to Lansing.
Either that, or wait in 20+ mile traffic jams to clear because of pileups.
There was an article in this morning's NYT about some of the people who refused to leave,
I had TWC on for a few minutes this morning. They interviewed one guy who stayed. His excuse for staying? He wanted to surf this morning.
Palin has the media scared shitless. She just lifts up her skirt a little and they all start cowering like sad little puppies.
I hate them. I really really hate them.
Where do cows go on vacation?
Moo-ami Beach.
Fact:Part of John McCains health care and tax plan is to count the portion of Americans HMO that is payed for by your employer as taxable income,chew on that one for a while..
Still, Ms. Palin has many supporters. As a two-term mayor she paved roads and built an ice rink,

Geese and ducks are my favorite amusing/yummy creatures.
TCB thinks cronyism is a fine example of capitalism.
OMG, I'm still reading the NYTimes article.
Laura Chase, the campaign manager during Ms. Palin’s first run for mayor in 1996, recalled the night the two women chatted about her ambitions. “I said, ‘You know, Sarah, within 10 years you could be governor,’ ” Ms. Chase recalled. “She replied, ‘I want to be president.’ ”
No wonder she didn't hesitate when McSame asked to be vp. This was her plan all along. McSame is the one who should be scared. If they get to the White House he's gonna have to watch his back every second.
That's the ice rink that she put the town in debt for.

Now McCain's lying about how many people are at his rallies:
In a story on Sept. 11 about Palin's attraction for some Virginia women voters, Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher estimated the crowd to be 8,000, not the 23,000 cited by the campaign.

Good evening, folks!
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.
When fucking things up royally is basically your life's work, you may as well hire your friends to help. It doesn't matter that they're unqualified. It better serves the purpose, actually.
One of the hard things to deal with is when they talk about Palin exciting "the base" I have to accept the fact that my mother is part of the "the base".
Her most important issue? Pro-life. At least that is what she says. She is pro-death penalty. Pro-zygote?

So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ha ha ha!

That's because they are a really high markup item. There is no reason for mattresses to cost what they do. I liked the fact that if you don't like the product you can donate it to a charity, send the company a copy of the donation ticket and they will credit your card or give you a refund. All mattresses returned are donated to charity. These guys seemed to be the most on the level ones I found. I won't ever go back to a box spring set up.
Ach, spocko, I'm sorry to hear about your mother.
Try to love her anyway.
I wonder if there is any way to check her records at U of I to see if she really graduated.
Any Vandals out there from the class of 1987 who might have their graduation programs handy? If her name appears in print, she may indeed have graduated. If there is no mention of Sarah Heath ... well wouldn't that be a hoot?
Given all her college transfers and her propensity for lying, I would not be surprised if she got within a few credits of graduation, then called it good and began altering her resume on the spot.
Is it really necessary for Anderson Cooper to be standing in flood waters.
Depends. Are they higher than his neck?
What you don't know is that Sarah and I thought up that line about the cows over a glass of Scotch together the night before I filled out my application! It was still so funny the next day, I was laughing as I wrote it on the application!
This is how we Republicans look out for each other-- right down to figuring out what to write on the applications!!

I think that the most disturbing thing that hasn't really been questioned is the involvement of Todd Palin in all of this. He is a private citizen, what is he doing meddling in governmental issues?

Seriously. Just shut up, AP.
Go study something for awhile.
from Wiki: In Catholic teaching, diocesan bishops do not in themselves possess the charism of infallibility (but do so when gathered in ecumenical council), leaving early Church canonizations without certainty of infallibility.
from Pope John Paul II: It is not possible, however, to overlook one of the decisive aspects that lies at the base of the malaise and uneasiness in certain parts of the ecclesiastical world: it is a question of the way authority is conceived. In the case of the Magisterium, authority is NOT exercised only when the charism of infallibility is involved; its exercise has a wider field, which is required by the appropriate defense of the revealed deposit.
Meanwhile, Ms. Palin pushed the issue from the inside. “She started the ball rolling,” said Ms. Patrick, who also favored the firing. Mr. Deuser was soon replaced by Ken Jacobus — then the State Republican Party’s general counsel.
“Professionals were either forced out or fired,” Mr. Deuser said.

Greenspan: No McCain tax cuts without reduction
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080...on_el_pr/
mccain
By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Alan Greenspan says the country can't afford tax cuts of the magnitude proposed by Republican presidential contender John McCain — at least not without a corresponding reduction in government spending.
Here's hoping there are no more liberal women identifying with Sarah Palin because she's a woman out there-- Sarah Palin and her friends aren't you; Sarah Palin's the 6' 3" bitch on your high school volleyball team who made fun of you and spread the untrue rumor that you had 3 abortions in high school.
And this is despite the report that she hangs out with some women who "wouldn't vote for her"-- whether that's true or not, I'd be astonished if Sarah Palin ever knowingly helped a single real liberal get a job in Alaskan government since she became a mayor.
Evenin'. Anybody heard from RMJ? Is the good reverend alright?
I think that the most disturbing thing that hasn't really been questioned is the involvement of Todd Palin in all of this. He is a private citizen, what is he doing meddling in governmental issues?
She's trying to claim executive privilege on Troopergate emails that she cc'd to her husband. And everybody's just kind of shrugging.

If Obama had picked Hillary as his running mate and McStain had picked Romney, LieberWhore, or some other guy, I shudder to think of the sexist statements from the rightards.
Real sexism as opposed to criticizing a nutbag because she is unqualified and just plain insane.

Todd Palin was subpoenaed yesterday in Troopergate. Sarah wasn't, yet. Her interview and Ike had the media's attention, but soon they will notice all the activity in Alaska.
I was watching MSNBC which is showing water all over Galveston Island. At the bottom of the screen was the ticker tape thing which kept saying that McCain is defending 2 of his nasty ads against Obama and his mistatements on Palin's earmarks. Looks like he is getting called on his crap.
I wonder if Sen. McCain is getting a little annoyed by all the attention paid to his vp pick with very little left over for him.

Nor should they.
What the fuck could be threatened if Sarah Palin got in trouble and couldn't claim executive privilege (the reason for it for the prez)?
Nothing, that's what.
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.
ZOMG. She's a Brownie. It really and truly is MORE OF THE SAME.

"That's a huge amount of money, but it's not even a drop in the bucket to pay for $3.5 trillion in tax cuts," she said. "So, every time he throws up earmarks and he's asked how he's going to pay for it, he knows he's being disingenuous, he knows he's not being forthcoming."
McCain campaign officials dispute the $3.3 trillion figure, saying it assumes eliminating 2003 tax cuts made by the Bush administration and then cutting from that higher level. They say McCain is proposing tax cuts worth $600 billion from current levels.
"John McCain opposed President Bush's tax cuts in 2003, because they didn't include the necessary spending controls. Sen. McCain's proposed job-growing tax cuts are modest in comparison to his plans to slow the exploding growth of federal expenditures — meaning that contrary to Chairman Greenspan's assertions, this relief isn't proposed on borrowed money," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.

While McCain opposed the 2003 cuts and previous Bush administration tax cuts from 2001, he now says he would leave them intact. Obama has said he would repeal Bush tax cuts benefiting families making over $250,000 annually to pay for programs and provide middle-tax class relief.
Meanwhile, organizers of a conservative summit in Washington said McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, missed an opportunity by not addressing the gathering. Some 2,100 activists from 44 states, plus another 10,000 people who signed up to watch online, participated in the three-day Values Voter Summit.
On Saturday, McCain was less than 10 miles away, working in at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va. Palin was leaving Alaska and traveling to a rally in Reno, Nev. Last year, McCain and seven other GOP presidential candidates spoke at the summit.
"I think there is some disappointment that he's not here. I think there's greater disappointment that Palin is not here," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a key sponsor of the summit. "I think people would have liked to have heard from her."
Even the Associated Press (AP wire) is now calling McCain a liar.

I'm not one either but as I understand it, executive privilege exists because (the theory goes) a great harm could be caused to the public interest if certain facts about the executive came to light.

"Many people in our great land might have difficulty defining the 'Bush Doctrine' exactly. But not to recognize the name, as obviously was the case for Palin, indicates not a failure of last-minute cramming but a lack of attention to any foreign-policy discussion whatsoever in the last seven years."
Conservatives ridiculed such reasoning. "What a bunch of nonsense," Andrew C. McCarthy wrote on National Review Online. "Peanut gallery denizens like me, who don't have states to run and who follow this stuff very closely, disagree intensely among ourselves about what the Bush Doctrine is."

Had a former vegetarian friend who said her old philosophy was that she refused to eat an animal she wouldn't actually be comfortable slaughtering herself.
Then she spent time in the Midwest with her family and their chicken farm, saw how horrible the creatures were, and said, "I would kill a chicken. I could be perfectly comfortable killing one."
Veggie no more.
My own reasons have more to do with iron deficiencies and a near-inability to process vegetable proteins. But I liked her story.

I can tell you Americans, if you have the chance, get your asses to eastern Turkey, into the mountains. The people are great. They are now getting everything together for winter. The animals are comming back, they hire gypsies who come in from Romania in the spring. That's June in the mountains. The gypsies take the animals, sheep, goats and cattle up into the high mountains to pasture. They are back now. The gypsies are paid, they get five percent of the animals. Everyone is happy.
The auctions will be next week. The buyers are coming from Ankara. The Emir will sell one forth to one third of the animals at auction. The money will go to the whole village. The men from Ankara will go home and the mountain people with their animals will set in for the winter. The animals live underground, underneath the houses, which themselfes are almost undergroung. They are dug in with earth roofs. When you drive by you can only see the roofs with smoke coming out of a pipe, You can not see a house, In the spring they come out and life goes again, What a tough life but what a beutiful people.
Yeah. The rubes find out how corrupt and dangerous the head of state is and it's curtains for him/her.

It puts their epic battle over whether Certs is a breath mint or a candy mint to shame.

Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin are scrambling to explain details of her only trip outside North America -- which, according to a new report, did not include Iraq, as the McCain-Palin campaign had initially claimed.
Palin made an official visit to see Alaskan troops in Kuwait in July of 2007. There, she made a stop at a border crossing with Iraq, but did not actually visit the country, according to a new report in the Boston Globe.
Earlier, McCain aides had said that Palin visited Iraq, and expressed indignation at questions about her slim foreign travel.
The campaign also said she had been to Ireland; that turned out to have been a refueling stop.
In her ABC interview, Palin said she had also been to Canada and to Mexico, where her advisers said she went on vacation.

My late dad served in both theaters in WWII... feet frozen in the Battle of the Bulge, etc.

I think the Body did a much better job than that as governor of Minnesota, and he was pretty much regarded as a goofball by everyone concerned.
For all the bombast, I think he really wanted to do some good in a citizen-government sort of thing. He wanted to fix things instead of growing fat on the troughs of power.
This relief isn't proposed on borrowed money?
Let's get some things straight.
Using just these numbers...which are wrong anyway.
In one hand I'm holding something called a hoagie. It's one pound.
In the other I'm grasping the collar of a rock solid Cleveland Browns wide receiver, who's weighing in at over 210 pounds.

Ms. Palin appointed Mr. Bitney, her former junior high school band-mate, as her legislative director and chose another classmate, Joe Austerman, to manage the economic development office for $82,908 a year.
and then mr. bitney started screwing todd's friend's wife, so he got fired. true story.

Palin claims Alaska “produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy.” That’s not true.
Alaska did produce 14 percent of all the oil from U.S. wells last year, but that’s a far cry from all the “energy” produced in the U.S.
Alaska’s share of domestic energy production was 3.5 percent, according to the official figures kept by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
And if by “supply” Palin meant all the energy consumed in the U.S., and not just produced here, then Alaska’s production accounted for only 2.4 percent.

Sarah Palin has given a whole new meaning to the terms "nepotism" and "political cronyism" gone wild, both as Mayor of Wasilla and as Governor of Alaska.
Today's NYT lead Op-ed slams McCain for selecting Palin as his VP:
Gov. Palin’s Worldview
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/
1...agewanted=print
As we watched Sarah Palin on TV the last couple of days, we kept wondering what on earth John McCain was thinking.
If he seriously thought this first-term governor — with less than two years in office — was qualified to be president, if necessary, at such a dangerous time, it raises profound questions about his judgment. If the choice was, as we suspect, a tactical move, then it was shockingly irresponsible.
John McCain is the one to blame -- for insulting Americans by selecting a VP who is simply not qualified for the job, not even close.

Throughout her political career, she has pursued vendettas, fired officials who crossed her and sometimes blurred the line between government and personal grievance, according to a review of public records and interviews with 60 Republican and Democratic legislators and local officials.

Went to a party last night, and someone brought up Palin. The group of 5 women I was talking to, all 40ish, were horrified at the thought of her as VP. Some of the women I've known for years, some I'd just met. None of them thought she was remotely qualified.

Franci... top Google Search:
While she was raised in Anchorage and then Palmer and has raised her own family in the Matanuska Valley, she has not previously worked for the State of Alaska and never had eyes on the position of Director of the Division of Agriculture or any other political or administrative role in government. So why Franci to lead the division?Well, she sounds every bit as qualified for her position as Sarah Palin.
Franci was fascinated with farms and particularly milk cows as a young person. After moving to the valley with her folks, she was immersed in a community filled with many farm families. Not surprisingly her fascination with cows and farms eventually introduced her to her future husband, the son of dairy farmers. Franci has seen, first hand, the challenges that Alaska dairy farmers experienced and wanted a change - a good and positive change. One where farmers not only made a descent living, but were respected for their hard work, knowledge and contribution to the social and economic fabric of Alaska.
You may remember the rally in June, a few days after Global Food Alaska, staged at the Havemeister Dairy Farm in Palmer where community came together to show their support for the farms after Matanuska Maid announced its closure. Franci was fully mobilized and was appointed to the new Agricultural Board. One of their new functions would be to identify a new Director and she was encouraged to apply for the position.
As she confidently states, "I have no preconceived ideas on specifically what the division should or should not do, but I do know I have to listen carefully and put our resources where we can see a return to sustainable and healthy businesses, growth and pride." She is believable in her charge to do well and that the reason is not self-serving, but serving of Alaskans agricultural well-being.
And isn't that a beautifully written little hommage?

sebs, are you actually John McCain?
You see, it's really amazing what you can find out in two seconds with Google:
In what has quickly become one of the most costly and poorly thought out decisions since former Governor Murkowski bought the ill fated jet, Governor Palin's decision to keep open the failing Matanuska Maid Dairy has culminated in her ordering a gag on employees from sharing public information about Mat Maid's questionable business practices.http://www.andrewhalcro.com/ nov_19_no_spilling_the_milk_a_gag_order_on_the_mat anuska_maid_fiasco
Has being open and transparent gone out of style?
In a November 13 memo from Division of Agriculture Director Franci Havemeister, she writes "Other than Ray Nix, no other Division of Agriculture staff, while serving in his or her official cpacity, may contact or provide information to the media, the legislature or the public regarding matanuska Maid and its disposal."
Havemeister, whose father in law is one of the few remaining dairy farmers who is currently making money off of the state dairy and who was appointed to her position this summer with little or no qualifications, goes on to write in her memo:
"In addition, I would like to remind staff that no one may disclose confidential information. Nor may staff disclose information gained in the course of ones official duties that could any way result in a benefit to the staff member or his or her family."
The red flags and hypocrisy are endless with this memo which was copied to both Commissioner Tom Irwin and Deputy Commissioner Richard LeFebvre.

i think your problem is in the phrasing. we're not idiots. your implicit comparison of atrios to kos was basically calling him stupid. and really, all atrios did was post a link to an article and a clip from it.

"McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally in Fairfax City, Virginia, drew 23,000 people, attributing the crowd estimate to a fire marshal.
Fairfax City Fire Marshal Andrew Wilson said his office did not supply that number to the campaign and could not confirm it. Wilson, in an interview, said the fire department does not monitor attendance at outdoor events.
In recent days, journalists attending the rallies have been raising questions about the crowd estimates with the campaign. In a story on Sept. 11 about Palin's attraction for some Virginia women voters, Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher estimated the crowd to be 8,000, not the 23,000 cited by the campaign.
``The 23,000 figure was substantiated on the ground,'' McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said. ``The campaign is willing to stand by the fact that it was our biggest crowd to date.'' "
Three times in recent years, McCain's catalogs of "objectionable" spending have included earmarks for this small Alaska town, requested by its mayor at the time -- Sarah Palin.

``The 23,000 figure was substantiated on the ground,'' McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said. ``The campaign is willing to stand by the fact that it was our biggest crowd to date.''
Notice that he didn't confirm that the 23,000 was true. He said it was "subtantiated on the ground," which just means someone said it looked like about 23,000 showed up.
The onmly thing he WOPULD stand by was that it was there "biggest crowd to date."
Obama outdraws that in his sleep. Literally. He could invited people to a rally where he does nothing but take a nap and it would draw 25,000 people.
In fact -- that would be an awesome campaign stunt! Obama sends out invitations to "outdraw McCain/Palin in his sleep" and 50,000 people show up to a rally in which Obama kicks back in a la-z-boy.

Very interesting! -- I didn't realize that the National Enquirer was on this story.
Liberal talk-show host Shannyn Moore at KUDO, Alaska's progressive radio station, spoke cautiously to Air America's Jon Elliot the other night about Track Palin's drug problem and another very serious felony vandalism charge but explained that both issues were difficult to investigate because Track was a juvenile at the time and those records remain sealed.
Shannyn Moore also said that many Alaskans believe that Track Palin's enlistment in the Army was a way of getting out of serving time for his criminal offenses. But Moore cautioned that she had no concrete evidence to support such a theory. The National Enquirer must have found sources who would spill the beans.

coke to Adam H. 
Palin cut funds for 40 sports-related projects around Alaska, saying sports was not an essential government service. Gone was money for baseball and soccer fields, turf improvements for Dimond and Service high schools, roof repairs to the Sullivan Arena and planning for a long-sought University of Alaska Anchorage sports arena.
So why was there still money for a kitchen for the Wasilla Sports Complex -- not to mention funds for several other Mat-Su sports projects, including new lights at the Houston High School field and new bleachers at Palmer High?
Critics were quick to recall the former Wasilla mayor's campaign pledge to the Wasilla Chamber of Commerce last year that she would be "biased toward the Valley" as governor.
The comment was brushed off at the time as a lighthearted defense of her hometown. But it was recalled again this summer when Palin overhauled the state's agricultural bureaucracy in an attempt to save the state-owned Matanuska Maid, the only market for a handful of Mat-Su area dairy farmers.
Coupled with Palin's decision to leave the Juneau governor's residence once the Legislature adjourned -- wags dubbed her lakeside Wasilla home "the summer palace" -- and enroll her kids in Valley schools this fall, the former Miss Wasilla's actions have some critics asking whether her down-home style includes a sentimental streak capable of clouding her judgment.
To be sure, the complaints -- heard on talk radio and in letters columns -- have amounted more to a light drizzle than a deluge.
"I don't think there's any way you can get around the cronyism and favoritism," says Andrew Halcro, a former independent candidate for governor who has been harsher than most. "It begs the question about other issues down the road."
In an interview Friday, Palin denied showing any bias toward the Mat-Su area. When her cuts to the capital budget were complete, she said, Mat-Su got 8.5 percent of the spending, while Anchorage got 22.8 percent. Those are proper proportions, she said. She added that the cuts -- more than $230 million in all -- were based on statewide criteria, not election districts.
"If the criticism is that I cheer for my hometown team too often, I'm going to be cheering for my kids' teams," Palin said Friday. "The numbers speak for themselves in the budget. People can take me at my word or not, that I am not biased towards or against any region in Alaska."

As Gedanken experiment cum performance art, this is kind of interesting: what would happen if "Heathers" took place in a trailer park, and the characters wound up running the government? As an actual event, not so good.
So Sarah Palin is basically a good ol' boy.
The thing is if the media, the Obama campaign, and the left wing blog-o-sphere had been rationale and reasonable, something like this would have hit long and hard. Instead, I really believe that there is probably nothing that can come out against Palin that will really hurt, short of some sexual affair or accepting bribes or something like that.
"I would fuck Todd's business partner in front of a cow"-Sarah Palin
She is George Bush in heels. McCain shows just how low he will go in foisting this woman on the United States of America. She is not qualified! i pray there are enough people in the U.S.A. that will send her and McCain back to the bridge to nowwhere.
I read the other day that Wasilla is the Meth Capital of Alaska, with numerous meth lab busts occurring.
Wasilla is a small town, with anywhere from 5,000 to 9,000 residents, where probably everyone knows almost everyone else.
So my question is simple:
How many of these meth lab operators, both busted and still at-large, do the Palins know, or been associated with?
I believe this is a reasonable question. I'm certain the authorities would like to know.
Did Sarah or Todd Palin have any of these meth lab operators as their classmates, for instance?
John McCain claimed the other day that Sarah Palin is an "energy expert," and since meth is another name for speed, and speed definitely enhances one's energy, is this to what McCain was alluding?
I want answers, truthful answers. No more Republican lies, please.
And I still say Sarah Palin is Monica Goodling. The same twisted right-wing religious "values. The same use of a position of public trust for personal and religious vendettas. The same lying.
And who in their right mind would ever vote for Monica Goodling, after what she did at the Justice Department, to be vice-president, a heartbeat away from being president?
obama=cronyism, too
ALL politicians do it . . .GROW UP!
