k-mad said...: "More recently, she has come under the scrutiny of an investigation by the Republican-controlled legislature into the possibility that she ordered the dismissal of Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state trooper."

There is probably an interesting story behind that.; August 29, 2008 at 2:08 PM
Jason said...: This pick is so revealing in every way. People have been saying the Clintons don't want Obama to win...do the people in the Republican Party who whispered this in McCain's ear want him to win?; August 29, 2008 at 2:26 PM
Smiff said...: In an interview just a month ago, she dissed the job, saying it didn’t seem “productive.”

Palin replied: “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question.”; August 29, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Fungster said...: So if both the Republicans and Democrats are trying to sabotage their candidates, who wins? Bob Barr? That former congresswoman from Georgia? McKinney? Write in Fungster? Oh wait, he ain't old enuff yet. Could write in Smiff though. Smiff-Costanza 08!; August 29, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Corms said...: I've been analyzing this pick in my head for a few hours and it's kind of interesting from a purely political strategy point of view. Ultimately it's also a waste of time since it's been 48 years since a VP pick has had a meaningful impact on a presidential race.; August 29, 2008 at 4:00 PM

A lotta people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a buncha unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll give ya an example, show ya what I mean. Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like, "plate" -- or "shrimp" -- or "plate of shrimp" -- out of the blue, no explanation. No point looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

"You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda Triangles, UFOs, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing? Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine.... People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America, thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something: there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well, where did all these people come from? Hmm? I'll tell you where: the future. Where did all these people disappear to: hmmm? the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really... yeah, you got it! Time machines!"
