The thing is with her is the truth is more farcical than anything I could make up. I just watched half of her speech to the state of Alaska – she sounds like she’s still doing stump speeches – I wonder what that could be about (tongue firmly in cheek)? And I noted Trig is NOT wearing the “cute glasses” she claimed yesterday – perhaps he only needs them for reading. And her hair looked bloody awful – hey, my hair looks awful but I’m not on TV. A bit OT but I am also following Audrey’s blog and a couple of posters made some very astute points: No normal “lordosis of pregnancy” (that curvature of the spine) I am tall and slim and didn’t show much due to both my pregnancies being LOP – their spines and by inference their bodies were kind of tucked under my ribacage.. but I still did the pregnant "posture ting". Palin couldn’t do the fake belly thing with airport security hence the Alaskan Airlines staff not “noticing” she was preggers. Just sayin' I am writing a book (a spoof) – and yes Madam Palin is in it along with Bush and cronies (and lots of other issues).

Didn't whatz.er.name just issue an Energy Report? Actually it was a list of organizations helpful to approach for anyone who wants to begin a energy project. In other words, a Googled list.... That's it, you take responsibility for beginning a green project and whatz,er.name will, naturally, yak -- yes, yes, yak -- credit for your success. After all, look at what she did for the Alaskans. Yes, she published a nice thick, close to 200 pages, compendium of where you, you should go in order to complete your energy project.... ....oh, please, please don't tell me she's on her way to DC. ....tears up and grimaces....stay home, go to the Artic...go away, go away....

I just mailed them and it will probably take a while for someone to get back to me but I'm interested in what their feelings might be regarding the crisis. I know that everyone has to parse every word they write or say with something this politically sensitive, but I have a feeling that AFN has been following this story very closely.

“It’s her speech,” McAllister said. “In fact my understanding is that she’s rewritten it significantly the last several days. I think she even makes some adjustments while she practices it.”

“makes some adjustments” is PR-speak for “she can’t say it the same way twice yet” there too also

Obviously, the speech is meant to serve another purpose ..... and that should make great entertainment for non-Alaskans.
