Reminds me of the year we lived out in Denver CO. We would drive up in the mountains to cool off. The beautiful lakes in the valley’s and craters.Drives thru the tunnels.Being on the point where the rivers and streams go the opposite direction.

Just in case we haven’t been Palinized enough today –
Another HuffPo article regarding “The Book”

[snip]

In the past, Palin could blame Katie Couric for leaving her more substantive answers on the cutting room floor. She could blame the liberal media for engaging in “gotcha journalism.” But now, she only has herself to blame for the consistently hypocritical persona she presents in Going Rogue. In Palin’s words, “I want people to read my book so they can read unfiltered what my values are, what my record is, what my accomplishments are…” Based on the book, her overriding moral code seems to be, “I’m going to look good at all cost, even if it means throwing everyone else under the bus.”

If you click on the link above for Crooksandliars.com scroll down to the article about food stamps and Wall St. luxury spending. It says 1 out of 8 adults and 1 out of 4 children receive food stamps. I worked in the food stamp program for close to 10 years and never saw figures like this.

I guess this is how the repubs intend to take care of our children once they are born…by keeping them in poverty.

Sounds like the letter writer is a real person

From 2003 newsletter

The idea for the show came from a dyed-in-the-wool Sailor, retired Navy Chief Boatswain’s Mate Harold B. Estes of Honolulu. It was Estes–a charter member of the council, a Navy League life member, and a past national vice president who is now a national director emeritus–who urged Bigelow, as president of the East Oahu Council, to go on TV with his stories about the sea services.

Arctic ice thinning. I find this especially troubling after spending time just looking at the lovely picture above.

My son is concerned about me because of my obsession with Palin, so I told myself on Sunday that I would take a do-not-click on Palin articles for this week. Well, as you can all that did not go so well.

Now, I know why the obsession, Sarah Palin is dangerous. Her and her troop of followers/believers are dangerous. BuffaloGal (#) put it way better than I can. All I know, is that she needs to be watched and watched closely. Every lie that spews forth needs to be documented…I’ve never meet anyone like SP and I hope I never do. Someone that is so comfortable with lying that they don’t even recognize the truth. Her lies are her truths. I think she honestly believes them no matter which version she’s telling.

I had never seen this article before, but it’s worth checking out…it points out how Sarah lies about everything, not just the big stuff. It looks like she even lied about the weather.

HuffPo is full of Palin this afternoon and we all know what Palin is full of. Here’s an article by Geoffrey Dunn exposing Sarah and her team for not even being able to accurately quote John Wooten…they quoted John Wooden Legs and only part of his quote.
