Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you 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 "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Sounds like a lot of think cloth to weave a story out of. Put’s you in mind of the ruthless lawyers question: “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
Yeah, MSM is doing an outstanding job of reporting.
(waiting for Skippy to show up with the rebuttal
Hmm, she sounds almost… Clintonesque!
What do these jamokes think Hillary would do?
Or Obama?
When one speaks of “change”, one frequently does.
Such cronyism never occurs in clean, white-bread, picket-fence towns like Chicago, of course.
Given the population density, what are the odds of a person in the Palin administration not being either related or a classmate?
My home town has under 1000 people in it. Last night I enjoyed a picnic with the folks from my township. Fully half of them had the same last name, at least two thirds were related to each other, nearly all went to the same school.
Yeah, Palin hired somebody she might have known from school or her personal life. There’s a shocker for ya.

Mike,
Not with that shining beacon of political fairness and tolerance known as Richard Daly as your example!
Wait…is that dinner burning or sarcasm I smell?
So Alaska is like West Virgina?
I was thinking more like Delaware.
