		<description>So I take it that Piper is now a elementary school drop out.   The Palin&#039;s sure value dumb, don&#039;t they?

Piper&#039;s future will be as a reality show contestant for famous kids who enter rehab.  

On another note, as an &quot;Evangelical Christian&quot;..what is Palin saying about others that she can&#039;t say in front of her child.   Me thinks she is also faking her faith.  A &quot;Real Christian&quot; wouldn&#039;t be speaking ill of another person in language that couldn&#039;t be used in front of a child....no matter who is in the room.</description>

		<description>@Jamie:
Yeah, this thing with Piper is really strange.  It&#039;s been going on ever since the campaign began last year.  How can they say she&#039;s doing any schoolwork?</description>

		<description>Ratfish said &quot;When is someone going to file a truancy complaint with the Mat-Su Borough School District about Piper’s truancy?

Or maybe she dropped out, and is enrolled in a home school course where her mom is teaching her to write crib notes on her palm?&quot;

I&#039;d also like an explanation! I&#039;ve said it before but I think there is something really weird going on that Piper is ALWAYS there, everywhere, every speech, every signing, every performance. She doesn&#039;t go to school or is she at the School of Hard Knocks? And Sarah seems to treat her like Piper is her personal counselor/guru/good luck charm/spiritual leader. Freaky, I say!</description>

		<description>I still can&#039;t figure out what Palin was doing in Florida! Campaining? For whom? And it&#039;s about time someone called her out and took her down several notches. Ooh when I saw that she was trying to spout politics in Florida I had really scary eerie flashbacks of Anita Bryant on tv in the 70&#039;s saying &quot;I don&#039;t want gays teaching my children, do you?&quot; Ooooh scary.... I really wish she would just stop talking and go away.</description>

		<description>@Beth:

Agreed!  That&#039;s why I don&#039;t mind my tax dollars going to Homeland Security.  For the most part, those people earn their money.

And now they&#039;ve got to worry about computer stuff too ....... along with the FBI and CIA.</description>

		<description>I got an email today from a WAAAY radical RWing group I &#039;joined&#039; several years ago [but was promptly kicked out of for asking for clarifications and for giving a different POV ---who, me? ;-)] ~ for some reason, I am still in their database for emailing... 

In any event, they *used* to address their &#039;followers&#039; with emails sent as: &quot;A message to all members of Constitutional Emergency.&quot; Today&#039;s email is: &quot;A message to all members of Patriotic Resistance.&quot; 

I&#039;ve always found their &#039;urgent&#039;/breathless/doomsday-is-upon-us messages to be slightly on the spooky side, what with the idiocy they promote/spread, and all, but &lt;i&gt;today&#039;s&lt;/i&gt; email, I found to be *really* spooky! The change in how they address their &#039;frothers&#039; was enough to send chills down my spine.

With today&#039;s change in &#039;tone&#039;, I&#039;m sure the folks who&#039;re monitoring their activity [the group is on &#039;the list&#039; as possible/potential Home Grown T-rists due to the nature of their &#039;thought processes&#039; --or lack thereof-- and their incessant --but &#039;plausibly denyable&#039;-- &#039;calls to action&#039;] has intensified the scrutiny. There are surely some &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; doozies out there; spooky, &lt;i&gt;scary&lt;/i&gt; doozies. I don&#039;t envy those who have been tasked to monitor them in the Herculean effort of keeping *all* citizens of our nation safe. 

My virtual hat is off to those dedicated men and women who protect us all from the unmitigated batwingery and lunacy of the fringe few. beth.</description>

		<description>#74 - g:
&quot;Because it seems to me that the only logical conclusion is that she feels hatred for him or wants to spread slander or hateful lies. And what does that say about her?&quot;
-------
Yeah, I wondered about that too.  She was just pandering to the audience.  If she had any class, or tact, or intelligence, she would have talked about issues -- and Piper could have used that for a home-school social studies project!

Stupid thing to say.</description>

		<description>Oh wow, this is great!  My faves are:

&quot;Grayson observed that Palin is the most-intelligent leader that the Republican Party has produced since George W. Bush.&quot;

“I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them.”

-- and the &quot;dingbat&quot; reference was priceless.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m trying to understand the logic of someone who has formulated an opinion of another public figure (whom she barely knows) that she is ashamed to articulate in front of her seven year old. 

If she thinks his political philosophy is wrong, that&#039;s not shameful to say in front of a seven year old.

If she thinks he&#039;s untruthful or dishonest, that&#039;s not shameful to say in front of a seven year old.

If she thinks she&#039;s ill-mannered (although hello, pot, meet kettle?) that&#039;s not shameful to say in front of a seven year old.

Even if she thinks he&#039;s misguided, a political careerist, a &quot;Washington insider&quot; or elite, that&#039;s not shameful to say in front of a seven year old.

So what kind of thing would one say about another politician that you&#039;d be ashamed to say in front of a child?  What kind of person would have such an opinion of someone she probably never met, with whom she&#039;s only acquainted by news stories? And why is Sarah Palin so proud to tell us that she has those feelings? 

Because it seems to me that the only logical conclusion is that she feels hatred for him or wants to spread slander or hateful lies. And what does that say about her?</description>
