She tried to sound wise. She sounds silly: Today, when challenges may seem as high as Mt. McKinley, and change as constant as the mighty Yukon flows, and political events send shockwaves through our foundation like the '64 quake - what do Alaskans do? We climb Denali, we forge the river, we rebuild a stronger foundation on higher ground. Who writes this crap? She can’t speak in metaphors very well. She tried to sound wise.

It seemed more like a state of her mind address. She casually slipped in the reality of Sarah's Alaska when she mentioned that the gas line will benefit the "rail belt" a geographically small corridor up the middle of the state. Not all the way to any of the edges, this is also known as the "replication corridor"...where Alaskans try to live like they're down south. It won't help the northern villages or the western towns or the relatively citified areas of southeast Alaska. Thanks again, Mrs. Palin.

I hate to have my first comment be about something so petty, BUT...re: the shoes on ebay. Those are some cheap-ass shoes. That brand is a brand that sells to teenagers, so it's no surprise to me that Sarah's niece would end up the recipient of them. There is no way the RNC would have bought those shoes. I think I even remember an article somewhere that pointed out the cheapness of these shoes, which were an example of SP's style pre-makeover. So for me there isn't the outrage of SP bilking the RNC, but there is the incredible tackiness of the whole thing. I'm sure there have been politicians who have auctioned personal items for charity (PO, when approached by a charity, auctioned off a doodle he did while senator), but to have a close member of your family do it just to keep the dough for themself? Incredible tackiness. Trashiness runs incredibly deep in their family. Hi,
