Well, looks like Chuckie did as fine of a job passing along his ethics to Sarah Jr – about as fine as any job he did passing on his knowledge as a science teacher.
And then he blamed Sarah retrospectively – to cover his own a** for what he knew would be a huge train wreck when she matured into a full blown Sarah Junior robot – with their comment quoted from ADN about how Sarah, even as a child, would do as she pleased and listened to no one, not even her parents. I’m paraphrasing this, because now ADN wants to charge for the archived article. Hmmmmm???
I think we have more than one ethically & knowledge challenged Palin here – the baby robot doesn’t fall very far from the clandestine robot lab and its resident inventor!

Well, no wonder Palin chose this week to get all patriotic and visit the Alaskan troops. I suppose she thinks a photo-op will save her fanny – has in the past, I suppose, so who am I to say otherwise… but still…. it’s disgusting how she manipulates and exploits everything that is good and sweet and honorable in the world to save her evil face.
Amereurocan – although she hasn’t appointed all members of the Personnel Board, the salient point is that she can fire any of them “with cause.” And of course, who determines “cause?” Probably her Attorney General…. and if we go by recent history, she seems to have a knack for appointing an AG who fits nice and snug in her decolletage.
I was on Munger’s blog last night (Chapter 68 of his Sarah series – the one with the really ugly mean pic from the campaign trail. my fav Palin pic. I have it saved… call it The Face of Hate, but I digress….) and I noticed a post by onejrkitty (or something like that) that led me to Bob Lynn’s blog where Anonymous posted some really eyebrow raising stuff. And another Anonymous posted a retaliatory remark. I got chills from both. All of this is so edge-of-the-chair. But I try not to get excited. Palin is like a Dalek. She seems to get killed off in one series only to return in the next.

@72 John Says – Palin doesn’t have the same backing Bush did to manipulate the Supreme Court.
(There was definitely something weird there… I know… sounds like tin hat stuff, but, come on. Gore had the popular vote… should have counted for something… anyway… water under the bridge if you ignore the thousands of people who have died as a result….)

I have no idea of what the news is, or if it’s true – but if it is I am having ONE HUGE LAUGH at Gov Medusa’s expense – if it’s true – it’s the FEDS. What could be worse? Not much. She’ll get the AIP whipped into a frenzy and they’ll try to close the borders to save what’s her face! And don’t forget the Rapture Minions – maybe they’ll all decide to send out an appeal to their mean and vindictive god to send her off early before the FEDS get ‘er. Wouldn’t that be pleasant?
I know I’m dreaming – I prefer not to speculate til there’s more info – but I sure can point and laugh in the interim since she has paved the way for that all by little ‘ol snarky self. The only thing that would be better is that she and her whole family moved to Antarctica (sorry penguins – learn to waddle really really fast cause she’ll go after you guys, too).

Linda is being ripped off all right-in Washington State record checks are free if you do it yourself. If state does it for you its $30.00 an hr. plus fees for copies. $5500.00 divided by $30.00 a hr. would be 138 hrs. Its going to take a person over a month of working 8 hr. a day to find the e-mail records?????? TALK ABOUT BEING UNETHICAL ! It’s beginning to sound like the whole Alaska State Gov. is unethical.

Gov. Sanford to Reimburse His State for Trip to Argentina
“The governor’s trips to Argentina were already being investigated by the state.”
“But before Mr. Sanford released his statement about reimbursement, Mr. Peeler said that the governor’s trips to Argentina were being investigated to determine if he used taxpayer money. If he did, he said: “That’s a deal breaker.”

Witchy woman is on the attack again. The huff post showed Linda Kellen Biegel’s doctored picture of Palin holding Eddie Burke, ans she don’t like it! I’m skeered . . . .

One mark of successful politicians is the ability to poke fun at themselves- even McCain, Bush and Giuliani have that ability, and Obama is a master. Has anyone ever seen Palin poke fun at herself? I think she is so narcissistic that it is impossible for her. The reference to the “iconic” photo is very ironic.
Another reason she’ll never be successful in obtaining national office. Being the perpetual victim may get the headlines, but not the votes.

Martha… I don’t get it. What’s so special or unusual about these real estate transactions?
=========================================
Well, when I went to the page to read this, it looks like;
a) They borrowed money from a trust fund.
b) Palins are the “grantors”………they get the money
c) Grantee – MCKINLEY TITLE & TRUST INC
Grantee – HEATH CHARLES R
Grantee – HEATH SALLY ANNE
Grantee – CARTER AMY L………..they decide to give the monies, as they are running the trust fund.
d)Comments: GRANTEE NAME;RAYMOND L CARTER AND KRISTINE M CARTER LIVING
The trust is named/and or belongs to……..RAYMOND L CARTER AND KRISTINE M CARTER LIVING
e) the trust was created ………….Comments: GRANTEE NAME;TRUST DATED OCTOBER 21 1994
f) Palins borrowed the money……Date Recorded: 11/08/1994 Time: 09:15AM Book: 787 Page: 447 Pages: 6
=============================================
It appears that the Palins borrowed the money from a living trust, that her parents have majority control of AND that was created approximatley 2 weeks before they borrowed the money.
This “iceberg” threat is about the Palins and Heaths embezzling from with a trust fund that was federally guaranteed. That the federal government agencies are looking (obligated to) into this wrong doing, because of the guarantee. And that the IRS is involved in this too.
Who are these Carter folks? Anyone know?
Maybe someone can enlighten me if I’m wrong. The following was found at this page too;

Guess the news about three more ethics complaints and possible IRS investigation was getting a little hot for Palin and Stapletongue.
Hence…..trot out the baby.
I assume Palin’s fans are not smart enough to understand that Diva’s Palin-Burke graphic had nothing to do with special needs babies. Just like Letterman’s joke had nothing to do with rape. They follow her feigned outrage like little goslings after Mother Goose.
Hmmm….Mother Goose. Now that IS a sacred icon for millions of children…… Yep. I came full circle on this post: Palin’s groupies are child-like.
Can’t wait until Humpty-Dumpty has her great fall…

I’m trying to make sense of these land records. It looks like the Palins borrowed money from the Carter living trust to buy a house in 1994 and gave back a mortgage/deed of trust to the Carter living trust. Amy Carter and the Heaths are also involved but it doesn’t state that they’re trustees, which would be the norm. Then, in 1996, both Mr. and Mrs. Carter, the owners of the living trust, as trustees of their trust and in the name of their trust, and Amy Carter, assigned the Palin’s mortgage/deed of trust to Chuck Heath. So if they owned the trust and voluntarily assigned the mortgage/deed of trust to Chuck Heath, I’m trying to figure out where the embezzlement is? Any educated guesses?

That part I got. Private transaction wherein Palin “borrowed” money. Did Palin not pay back the borrowed money? I don’t see embezzlement under the scenario wherein Palin borrowed money (presumably it’s a loan extended by the Carter’s).
I can see where the IRS might have raised an eyebrow if Palin did not pay back the money. Or if they paid no interest on the “borrowed” money (which the IRS views as an interest-free loan).
If the money was not paid back, and the value of the “borrowed” money never declared on a 1040, then there’s a problem as the IRS tends to view these types of transactions as involving undeclared income. Oops. Still gotta pay taxes on undeclared income!
If no interest was paid on the “borrowed” money, then there’s also a problem here as the IRS tends to view the unpaid interest on no-interest loans as… income. If that income was not included on the 1040, then there’s yet another instance of undeclared income. Still gotta pay taxes on undeclared income!
But that’s all conjecture as we do not know the nature or terms of the transaction(s) that you listed. Did the Carter’s actually loan money to Palin? Did the Carter’s expect to be paid a certain amount of interest? If there was interest, did the Carter’s declare that on their 1040? Did the Carter’s provide the appropriate IRS 1099 interest form to Palin? Has any of this shown up on tax returns released by Palin?
There are other pertinent questions, but those are where we ought to start.
Oh, and here’s a kicker… 1994? Are any claims by any of the parties (Palin, Carter, IRS?) barred by applicable statute of limitations? Has the bell tolled on any possible enforcement action?

It’s time that people stop apologizing to Palin over every little thing that causes her to have the vapors. She does this to effectively censor anyone that speaks out against her or makes light of her policies/beliefs/lack of ethics.
The next time Sarah Thin Skin gets all bent out of shape all she should get from the person is a “So, who cares if you’re upset. I’m upset over your inability to govern in a mature and ethical manner”. The let Palin and Meggy rant and rave like the loons they are while reasonable people laugh at her.
I’m just tired of the hypocracy(sp) of the right wingers. They run people into the ground but like typical bullies, they can dish it out but can’t take it. Well no more, give it back to them and let them whine and cry because I couldn’t care less about these childish people who feel that politics are a game instead of it being a position where you are working for the best interests of the citizens of this country.
