If so, I would love to be a "boot on the ground". I have a small recording device that I would be willing to try and sneak in. I have not yeard heard how or when they are going to make these tickets available. I haven't heard about any protests or gatherings that might be staged, but I expect to be contacted soon. West Allis is a town that leans progressive. It is a town that is getting younger, better to balance out the ideological right. I was involved with the election last November and I believe West Allis supported Obama upwards of 60%. However, St. Fair Park is right across the street from Milwaukee which is HEAVILY democratic. I am shocked that she choose us for her first engagement. When she was here last fall, in Cedarburg, 20-30 minutes North of Milwaukee. Cedarburg is redder than the reddest red state. There were not many groups in support of Obama, or against Palin, at the event because of the time and the fact that Cedarburg is tiny and the narrow streets were tied up very early. There was a small handful of us there anyhow. It would be very hard to sit through anything she has to say for any length ot time. I am grateful, at least, that however bat-sh*t crazy she is, she is not a windbag. Cheers! Hi, I live in West Allis and am trying to figure out whether or not I can attend.

The only exception I can even imagine is if he is working on his seaplane rating then he can fly the plane by himself. But then again, he has to show evidence that he is getting instruction and is actively working on getting that rating. Without having an instructor, or if there its been a long period without having had instruction along with owning the plane, I would think it would clearly show he is in violation. If he has taken up a passenger, then without a doubt has seriously violated the regulations and would in most cases lose his license for at least some period. His plane only seats two so there is not room for a passenger and instructor. I am a pilot and it is my understanding that he needs to have seaplane rating even without taking up a passenger.

As long as she doesn't send a plane, book a hotel or pay her for her hawking her book I can't see the downside. It will be nerve racking for Palin. I can't see her doing anything but making a fool of herself. Oh, Oprah with Sarah should be a hoot.

After the election, she was speaking as if Palin was a victim of the GOP. She said, "I wonder if she asked herself why she would allow herself to be used that way". Say what? I was furious. She didn't understand Palin at all. The GOP didn't use Palin, Palin used the GOP. Oprah seemed to miss that part that Palin was trying to get into the national spotlight for years and she jumped at the opportunity. She used McCain, more than McCain used her. If Oprah is soft on her, I will NEVER watch her or buy her magazines again....ever! I’m not sure Oprah is all that well informed about Palin.

Whose on Oprah next? KKK? Aryan Nations? Anything for ratings? I can't boycott Oprah, because I don't watch her, but I hope others do.

I’d love to see what the song mistress can do with this one!
