Linda Biegel has looked at her travel budget, realized that even with frequent-flier miles, she can’t really afford to buy two or three adjacent seats on Alaska Air every time Sarah Palin goes out of state post-resignation, so she’s decided to commute by sea.

Mystery solved.

"It creeps, and leaps
And slides and glides
Across the floor
Back to the door
And all around the town
A flutch, a plutch
Be careful of the blob"

Leave the blob alone! It is just soaking up CO2 and Solar energy so that it can be dried and ground up for fuel. Who knew the Oceans are carbon sinks? Oh! That’s right. The conservatives all learned this in grade school while the liberals were doing dope.
