The Brits are idiots. Our government was set up for ordinary citizens to serve some time and then go back to their normal lives. It was set up that way because Britian’s wasn’t. God Bless America

It’s amazing how positive the coverage of Palin has been in the United Kingdom.

“...the large and wealthy (because of their right to oil revenues) native tribes.”
And yet, the media propaganda machine will start chanting the mantra, “...it’s all about the oil. No blood for oil! No blood for oil!”

Sara Palin made here way up the political latter the old fashioned way. She worked for it.

But Wasilla is the fifth-largest city in Alaska, which meant that Palin was an important player in state politics.
How many of us have known that. I know I didn't.
