Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Today in the news:
Governor pressures state employee!
President fires Presidential appointees!
I just hate it when the Executive uses the power directly given to them by the voters. Bad form.
That 26% would vote for Stalin over Abe Lincoln. “progressive leading revolutionary” against “reactionary imposer of religiously based hegemonic culturally imperialistic morality upon diverse subculture,” don’t you know
That 6’2″ trooper tasered his 12-year-old stepson? This is the guy that Palin wanted fired?
I’m an unrepentant believer in an eye-for-an-eye. I know, I know, it’s not very Christian of me. But I am. And someone should taser that big brute with his own taser. And then punch him in the nose. And definitely get him away from children.
My God, the Democrats are frantically trying to dig up something to hang on Sarah. Now pay attention, you rubes. We women don’t like to see children tasered, unless they’re firing AK-47s. Then we might negotiate. But I’m pretty sure the boy wasn’t firing a gun, so this was a major over-reaction. Frankly, I don’t think a grown man like that should be allowed to wear a police uniform, and obviously, neither does Gov. Sarah.

Heard the rumor yet that her youngest son is actually her grandson? Saw some pretty good comments from Alaskan conspiracy nuts on that one . . .
The youngest was born four months ago, and a couple months earlier, we have pictures of Gov. Palin speaking in public, and quite obviously pregnant.
I didn’t know that Alaska grew recreational pharmaceuticals, unless you count potatoes. Maybe the conspiracy mob is smoking reindeer lichen.
The Dimocrats and their “Infamous 26%” will continue to plant rumors, go negative and run all kinds of negative tripe through those such as the nefarious Olberboy.
Remember the Boy Scout motto: “Be Prepared” … just as Lex’s citations are wont to do.
Yeah, the idiot that tasered his stepson also was caught drinking a beer in his patrol car. He had several “problems” that he was counceled on. Beldar has the scoop on this non-scandal. Once again, it’s a case of malicious spin.

The Matanuska-Susitna Valley has some of the most potent MaryJane you can find. Plus, the lack of population makes it easier to run meth labs without those pesky neighbors butting in.
Not that I would know anything about these things personally…but it might explain the conspiracy theories.
