Open Thread – Thanks to All Who Made This a Reality.
4 08 2009These are two images that were sent to me of ex-Governor Palin’s abdication in Fairbanks. The last line in New Acting Governor Sean Parnell’s note, followed by the picture below made me laugh.

Wow… just came back from Dan R and RS McCain’s sites and… man, those two sure are full of themselves.
They don’t like mudflats too much, either

Dan Man, the boogy man!! LOL. Can’t help but laugh at him and the other idiot Stacey or something or other conspiring to have a blog pi$$ing match.

Lori/LA… Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Science Center…too much to do for just an afternoon.
Will you be at Mudstock on Sunday?
August 4th, 2009 at 8:16 PM
psminidivapa: Yes, I WILL be at Sunday Mudstock. Truth be told, it is THE reason I am going to Pittsburgh. Will you be there?
August 4th, 2009 at 8:24 PM
sauerkraut,
Did you hear Dan R’s pod cast? I’ve heard there is a pod cast, but it doesn’t work. Instead people talk about it. It sounds like they are establishing who Gryphen “really is.”
They will know, but no one else will hear it? If it is slander how can G defend himself? Murdoch can smear him with the people who believe whatever this pod cast has stated.

I’ll be the one in the outrageous corsage.

ABS,
Thanx. Had this idea of doing something with “Love Shack,” but couldn’t decide if it would work better with Sarah and the Dude, Bristol and Levi???? In the end, decided I wanted to avoid legal issues (since only some are able to speak of former first fam with impunity)
g’day

It’s a wonder they haven’t floated away with the over inflated ego’s them have of themselves! That McCain idiot is surely got some serious issues. He’s hell bent on making sure that Gryphen is not just outed but ruined, but then he posts how he’s irritated because he claims that the Democrats are trying to censor the Republicans!
All this based on the statements of Palins mouthpiece and her legal lapdog that they are not splitting up, and let’s face it we all know what a paragon of truth and honesty Palin and her lackeys are…/sarc.

Ok – it’s late & dont’ know if this will be seen or if someone’s already posted it but HURRAY for Andree – http://www.adn.com/palin/story/888057.html
In one lingering issue, the Alaska Public Offices Commission has refused Palin’s request to keep secret the discounts that come from her husband’s Arctic Cat sponsorship. APOC also said Palin needs to disclose all the gifts she received last year, rejecting her interpretation that she doesn’t need to until after she gets around to actually opening the gifts.
McLeod, who has had multiple ethics complaints against Palin dismissed, is the same person who brought the Arctic Cat sponsorship issue to APOC, the state’s quasi-independent watchdog agency.
Also too, Anchorage Superior Court Judge Jack Smith will be ruling on the use of non-state email accts being used for state business, but will take a few weeks to rule.

@176 PhotonFlower – Thanks for the link. I commented because it seemed that a bit to much negative energy was aimed at the 17 year old who wrote an open letter to your ex-governor:
Thank you Huffington Post for publishing young William Nellington’s letter. I am encouraged that all is not lost and that a 17 year old would bother to speak truth to power. William’s parents, teachers, and family should be quite proud of his writing skills and his ability to cogently share his views with others.
It seems unfortunate that supporters of differing viewpoints feel it necessary to rudely suggest that William somehow does not have a right to his own opinion about a very serious threat to our republic democracy. Our right to free speech includes the right to disagree with what others say as long as it does not cause irreparable harm to others. It is important to also understand that our military is not engaged in war to ‘protect our right to free speech’ as we have heard repeatedly and by the highly NRA decorated Ms. Palin.
It would be very interesting to read the writings of the 17 year old Sarah Palin AND to see photos of her, while governing, on Little Diomede, Alaska where US citizens live. The photo would of course show Big Diomede, Russia in the background. That in itself would have taken the sting out of the SNL Tina Fey joke ‘I can see Russia from my house.’
William, keep up the good work by continuing to read widely and by writing well. Be encouraged, bless you.

#133 “Palin may have made $1million to give speech @NRA event In Anchorage Aug. 4.”
“According to the NRA, Palin’s speech to 120 people was the crescendo of a five-day Gun Collectors Exposition.”
I bet they were expecting a heck of a lot more people for their million. Well, we know that 120 people walked out of there saying, “What the hell did she say?” Well, maybe Wayne Ross understood her – birds of a feather – hunt together, I guess.

Anyone hear Craig Furgeson Lastnigt?
Bill Clinton agreed to negotiate for the release of Journalists in N.Korea, as soon as he heard that it involved picking up chicks…

Well now it seems that Audrey at Palin’s Deceptions has given the hornet’s nest a great big poke.

No matter what you think of her basic contentions, it’s interesting that so far there is not a whiff of denial/threat to sue from the Palin camp.

May I make some suggestions re people’s expectations should Sarah Palin ever sue based on the allegations the baby is not hers?
1) make sure you have your own facts in order; it is as likely that a judge will make YOU present evidence to back up your contention of a non-birth event;
2) unless you understand what goes on in a lawsuit, do not expect that just because you say that she needs to do this or that, or that it will go a certain way, that that is what will absolutely happen;
3) never stand near a rabid dog and dare it to bite you. do that often enough and you will get bit;
4) before you dare anyone to sue you, make sure you either have insurance that provides adequate coverage (including legal defense) or that you are judgment proof;
5) unless your lawyer is better than her lawyer, you are going to lose;
6) anonymous sources provide absolutely no protection to the types of claims being made against Palin;
7) not only may you be able to depose her, she will also be able to depose you; should that happen and you provide no evidence to support your non-birth contention, her attorney could win the case by simply filing a motion for summary judgment; and

@sauerkraut, I know Camden, and Camden this time of year is no place for a moose! Hope he wasn’t too traumatized by all the attention from the tourists.

Whew! I got caught in a logic loop and have just barely escaped. I had to leave my bag of chips behind, but managed to hang on to my fuzzy bunny slippers!
I LOVE those bunny slippers.

Rihel is going on the Burke show today to talk about Gryphen.

Check out my post under Fish swiming up the mainstream.
It exposes the LIE being told by UKTV re: pollock fishing does not catch other fish.!
Take it & run with it, I am too busy trying to survive in Maine, home of the everlasting rain…………which has destroyed most of our gardens!

Has anyone out there seen or heard anything about the health care rally in DC a couple of weeks ago…didn’t seem to be anything on TV or print, having a difficult time finding info on the computer…Seems like we’re being censored in any action that offends the corporate profit making greed machine.
August 5th, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Just Sayin – there was mention of a rally in D. C. on 25 June that drew 10,000 at changetown.org

Palin’s listed an X-Box game console on E- Bay with an opening bid of 1 million dollars…wow there is no bounds when it is a quest for money..greed is an insidious thing..amazing…
August 5th, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Who said she listed it? Could be someone posing as her to cash in.

As Sloan was pointing his camera at the large welcome [to Wasilla] sign amid a light late-afternoon rain, a black Volkswagen pulled to the side of the road just a few yards behind him. A pony-tailed Palin, wearing a jogging outfit and a headband, stepped out of the car.
“I thought, ‘that looks like Sarah Palin, but it can’t be.’“ Sloan said. “Then, when someone approached her, I heard her say, ‘I’m Sarah.’”
“I was blown away,” Sloan said

Dunno if this has been posted anywhere else but it’s too good to miss. Accosting innocent tourists for publicity now?
August 5th, 2009 at 3:59 PM
I’ve just been reading how Mrs Palin drank Deutz champagne and ordered lobster ‘off the menu’ . . . . .
See? She’s just like us!

Attorney General Dan Sullivan has “sweeping” changes planned for the Executive Branch Ethics Act. Perhaps he should start with himself. In the ADN article they quote him as saying the “leak” would not have happened if the complainant had not be given a copy of the report! Where is the evidence that proves who leaked it??!! Grrrr!!

Where does she find these amateurs???
I’m sure of two things: Kim Chatman will hear about it and Kim Chatman knows a good lawyer or three.
