		<description>Good blog about SP Vain &amp; Simple:

http://www.anonymousliberal.com/2009/07/emperor-has-no-clothes.html

If this title hasn&#039;t been mentioned before, I could see &quot;THE NONCURIOUS CANDIDATE&quot; as the title to her book.

Pretty disgusted with TIME having her on the cover - will she ever go away??? LOL...she looks fake just like the running article.</description>

		<description>Holy cow - check out Peggy Noonan at the Wall Street journal:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124716984620819351.html

&quot;A Farewell to Harms: Palin Was Bad for the Republicans - and the Republic&quot;

&quot;What she is, is a seemingly very nice middle-class girl with ambition, appetite and no sense of personal limits.&quot;

But the enchanting part is the way Noonan dissects the prevailing Palin mythology and shoots down every piece of it.

And the scary clincher:

&quot;Here are a few examples of what we may face in the next 10 years: a profound and prolonged American crash, with the admission of bankruptcy and the spread of deep social unrest; one or more American cities getting hit with weapons of mass destruction from an unknown source; faint glimmers of actual secessionist movements as Americans for various reasons and in various areas decide the burdens and assumptions of the federal government are no longer attractive or legitimate.&quot;

Twits like Palin need not apply.</description>

About that other site: 

Sarah and Meg keep refusing to take any responsibility for anything said or done by their followers on that site, yet from the fast postings to their sites of things that have not yet appeared elsewhere, it looks like there is direct contact.

Given that there is this closeness and they are using her likeness and promoting her, she should take responsibility to remind her following to play nice and not engage in the kinds of personal attacks against others that they so abhor against her.
-----------------------------------------
Ivy Frye is supplying them.</description>

		<description>@ 205 Paula - The only connection to the prayer at the planning commission meetings is this:  She appointed Pastor Stan Tucker to the planning commission.  We have been stuck with him as chairman of that commission for years.  The good news is we now have term limits, and he will have to leave for at least a year after his term ends in December of this year.</description>

Only her and her rabid followers would think of her that way.Has any one seen the movie Angles &amp; Demonds or rerad the book. I am reading it now I know it is fiction but a lot seems to come from reality
------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is a great book.  I liked it much better than The DaVinci Code.  I saw the Angels and Demons film recently, and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat!  Excellent.</description>

LiladyNY@220
I think those offers are from last year
------------------------------------------------
Ah.  Thanks for clarification.  I still stand on my fishing premise, though.  : )
And I think someone should take up the fact that she&#039;s costing the state how many umpteen $$$ flitterin&#039; and twitterin&#039; all over Alaska!  Since she&#039;s so conscientious about how many dollars the state spends and all.  Also too therefore.  And she should stop twitting.  She&#039;s giving truth to the rumor that she&#039;s an idiot.</description>
