Her Response sounded snippy, curt cold, and uncaring. She does not care about anything that she does not want to see.

The sad part is Pro Palin supporters call some of the questions asked by the press rude and unprofessional

The only person in that press conference that is rude, unproffesional and mean spirited is Sarah Palin.

Should be “what good” and “cut back” not “got back” sorry about that!!

But yet she has managed to go to D.C. for a private dinner, and other trips, as well as seeing her husband off on some snow race. All that fuel used in the race, could have been sent to the villages in need. That would have been an amazing act of kindness, as well as the prize money.

I realize that Alaskans don’t have much in forms of entertainment, and local things to support. That this Iron Dog or whatever is important, but in a time of crisis it would not have been too awful for them to cancel the race and send the fuel and other supplies to the Yukon. The Country is in a recession, and other States, towns, and cities have got back on ‘entertainment’ and useless spending.

Her kissing her husband goodbye as he hops on some gas guzzler to go race 2000miles in a big circle, while people are starving and freezing elsewhere is a horrible image, and not good for her PR.

This will be remembered in 2012 if she decides to run for a National office….

I talked with Foodbank yesterday and they are set up to receive village aid contributions. Their phone number is (907) 272-3663. I gave them my credit card info on the phone. They said we should make donations on the phone so we can specify that we want the money to go to village aid. I will also encourage them to put some links on their site.

For me it would suffice if I could go to their online donation page and have an option there of specifying village relief. That hasn’t been done yet. I don’t know when their webmaster will get around to it. I think until very recently they didn’t know they’d be involved in village aid but they have agreed to do it. In talking with those people I’m confident my contribution will go out to the Delta.

For today I’ll take stuff over to Hanshew Middle School here in Anchorage and see If we can get that Fedex plane filled. Last Week Emmonak indicated they need stuff like rice, oatmeal, Sailor Boy Pilot Bread, Powdered Milk, Spam, canned corn, coffee, sugar, Tang or Kool-Aid, canned fruit, cold and hot cereals, ketchup, worchestor sauce, ketchup, and table condiments. They also requested Similac Advance. I’m sure they can always use toilet paper too.

I have come to realize that villages need just basic stuff that we take for granted, which is very humbling. It is hard to switch gears and throw something like a bag of sugar in the mail and realize I’m helping someone by doing that.

I’m sad about your box. Sorry that happened.
