City of Bigotry Love
Even though there exists a budget shortfall in Anchorage, newly elected Mayor Dan “Little Brat” Sullivan has opened a new office at the main municipal office building in downtown Anchorage. It is an office specifically reserved for Jerry Prevo and the main objective of the “devils” presence at the main municipal headquarters is too make sure there exists no longer a separation between state and church. Please call (907) 343-7100 and ask for Jerry, to welcome him to his new office wherein his main objective is too disenfranchise righteousness with government and continue to hijack the “will of the people”. If the receptionist keeps telling you that Jerry isn’t there, tell her to look under Dan’s desk, as the “Closet Man” might be on his knees praying to some fake “Almighty”. And call again that same phone number in efforts to congratulate Dan and Jerry on Anchorage’s new slogan, “City of Bigotry Love”. Bottom line, the entire Anchorage Assembly’s “good faith” obligation to hear out the people and vote “for all the people” went hijacked by Sullivan’s latest veto, based on pressure from the Prevolites. Those out there that believe there should be a separation of church and state should immediately boycott Sullivan’s political future and aspirations based on his vindictive attitude towards being “different” with his ban on discrimination here in Anchorage. And I say this about that. If Prevo can have so much influence upon “OUR” government by spending time, money and effort to change the vote of the people after the Assembly has spoken and Sullivan has been not the Mayor during such emotional debates on this issue, then Prevo’s organization has too much disposable income. Sullivan should have recused himself away from the Assembly’s vote realizing that Prevo set a trap, too delay the Assembly’s vote until Sullivan was sworn in. It is as clear as day verses night, the people have been skunked! So maybe it is time to tax the bastards, like Prevo and his ABT theatre of hypocrisy! Now that my true American friend is a way to fill in the budget shortfall. And I say this about that. Anchorage relies upon tourism. This city should be boycotted as not so friendly a city to visit, as discrimination is alive and well, and when it hits home, maybe corrupt politicians will realize that the “Corrupt Bastards Club” is not what the people care for any longer, as we are so tired of preferential treatment towards a select few special interests, like what Prevo has managed to construct, at the expense of Constitutional righteousness.

Anchorage's Mesothelioma Nightmare
Alaska has always been considered a unique state, most of the time that sentiment towards its unchallenged natural beauty. But one cannot always judge a book by its cover. So on the environmental atrocity scale, this state may tip the scale. Sure there came the EXXON Valdez wreck wherein crude oil devastated reality of pristine environments and ecosystems unaffected by human abuse. And there was the radiation fallout scare out at Amchitka - but what about the asbestos Armageddon that occurred right here at “ground zero” Anchorage? What am I talking about? It all started back in the early 50s. In efforts to fuel a growing military presence, Army and Air Force bases were placed on the drawing boards and money was appropriated to place Alaska front and center as a defense against cold war invasions. Now military bases need heat and electrical energy, lots of it, to heat military housing and electricity to light the runways. Out at Elmendorf Air Force Base, a 45-Megawatt central heating and power plant was designed and built, and for years was part of the Government Hill landscape. In fact, even though some 50-years old and still running until 2004, it was considered a modern day power plant by stack emission standards when it was converted from coal to natural gas back in the 70s. Something the air quality community was happy about! Now this emissions thing doesn’t measure or try to control everything that can belch out of a power plant’s smoke stack. It doesn’t include “asbestos”. The original plant used all of the modern marvels of engineering, like asbestos insulation covering every piece of pipe, in efforts to conserve energy. As a matter of fact, back then the construction concrete for massive foundations upon which the plant was erected contained “asbestos” as a fire retardant. Now this type of power plant uses fuel to heat water to steam, similar to what you may find heating your own house, except on a scale thousands of times greater. With six running furnace boiler combinations, this place was a heat source of gigantic proportions. So even when it was winter like conditions outside and hovering at zero ambient temperatures, inside a plant like this it is short-sleeve 100 degree weather - were maintenance workers have not a problem sweating for a living. But over time, this heat takes a toll on things, like the “asbestos” insulation. When the plant was new, the pipes were encapsulated with an asbestos fiber that was rigid and was not a threat to the environment. But over time, it breaks down, called friable – wherein the solid fiber breaks down to a powder like form. As an example, the same display that occurs when you step on a puff ball mushroom, wherein thousands of spores go air borne with the slightest of disruptions. It was the same at the EAFB Central Heating Power Plant in the last years of its life. The plant was operated through contract by Chenga, an Alaskan Native shareholder corporation - from Prince William’s Sound. See, the EXXON Valdez wreck thoroughly wrecked this village’s subsistence lifestyle, so they needed something to fuel a missing infrastructure, so came the lucrative contracts with the United States Department of Defense. This was at the beginning of the “No Bid” contracting era between private entities owned by Native Americans and the U.S. government. The preferential treatment type contracting wherein competition is missing in action. The shareholders really had nothing to do with the business specifics, so in reality, it was just another Ponzi scheme controlled by “white” businessmen capitalist. Sidebar: This was all started by Ted Stevens and his buddies, wherein the Native Corporation were used as a shell against prosecution for profit. Basically, the native corporations for the most part were just a parent company that reaped a little money to fuel their infrastructure devastated by other “white” man atrocities. It snow-balled out of control and now the Native Corporation “No Bid” phenomenon is front and center in controversy. Bottom-line, one cannot blame the Natives for what has come of this free-for-all handout from Uncle Sam gone crazy. Blame the politicians, like Ted, Don, Frank, MoanaLisa and newcomer Begich. Anyway, since the EAFB power plant was scheduled to be shut down - due another Ted Stevens’ atrocity move wherein friends benefited and the taxpayer was screwed over - very little to none with respect to maintenance was performed. It was considered a waste of money. And money wasted away from the contract meant less money in the coffers and I am sure that in itself affected the top management’s end-of-year bonus! So no action meant letting asbestos fallout run the gambit, as a majority of the plant’s insulation by now was in a state of disrepair and such a health problem that it would have allowed any other plant under “worker’s rights” to be closed down by the EPA. But this was a military base installation still, even though the plant was privatized - so the EPA stayed away. In fact, all floor sweeping brooms were confiscated! Efforts to sweep meant disrupting the years of settled dust, which contained asbestos - loose and friable - that if disrupted would go airborne. In fact, at the recommendation of the military brass, the entire asbestos problem could have been remedied for about 5-million, but the management decided against any further remedial work, as that meant spending money and towards the end, that meant wasting money away from the contract’s profit margin. Now the furnaces used to heat water to steam utilize a “negative” pressure, like your household vacuum cleaner, like when you turn on your kitchen oven fan. But with a whole lot more sucking action! In fact, if one were to open an overhead door in the wintertime, it was like a blizzard, as the negative pressure would suck in the snow. And in the summertime, it was the best way to control the mowed grass clippings. See, it was all for appearance. The work-crew would spend more time manicuring the lawn, as that was something the top brass could see while driving by the plant. It looked good from the outside, but inside it was a different tune, it was an environmental nightmare, an escaping nightmare at that. But due the fact that the power plant was now privatized, it was really out-of-sight out-of-mind those in uniform and once in control. There was a definite separation! And maybe the brass had more important things to do, like mobilizing troops for the Iraq conflict. Now in efforts to save money on energy consumption, as that also paid handsomely the contractor, the inlet air heaters were tuned off. Usually combustion air is heated at the expense of wasted energy in efforts to support the combustion process. Cold air doesn’t cook as well as heated air. But this caused problems, as the cold air entering the ductwork allowed bearings on giant fans to freeze up, causing run-up and run-down problems. It would cause the CO readings in the furnaces to go critical, which was dangerous. So in efforts to stay cheap, the ductwork was opened up to suck in plant air, that which was already heated from the furnaces’ background heat. But that is where the problem existed. The suction was so great that it would suck in anything that went airborne. And the lift created by the “negative” draft supported things to fly where no things have flown before, including the friable asbestos that was in such bad shape that it could be seen floating around when a pipe went into vibration, due water-hammer, or some other type of upset. It was not unusual to see little piles of asbestos from a pipe vibration accumulate then disappear over time, sucked up into the air. Now management was required to test the air, but seemed not to do it on any regular schedule, or during shutdowns, startups – when it would have been a good indicator of something not good for the workers. And testing didn’t come cheap! So it usually went by the wayside. Remember, it is all for profits. They just didn’t give a rat’s ass as the bottom-line towards the end and the sentiment remained, take it all to the bank. During that ending, when the plant was close to being shut down and some workers became concerned about the state of affairs with the free-flowing asbestos, tests were performed by an independent, but some of the tests mysteriously disappeared? And the re-testing that was performed showed no signs of asbestos, which was rather peculiar because the workers could see it plain as day. Why the samplers never caught any fly-by asbestos was simple, as the velocity of the air from the negative draft was causing vortices around the devices used to collect any loose asbestos, so the samplers could not retrieve a representative sample of what was really floating around the plant. It is believed that the “missing” samples may have been situated in such a way as to get a direct hit of asbestos, and would have shown massive amounts of asbestos on the loose, getting sucked into the furnaces, not annihilated by time and temperature, and sent out the stacks upon Anchorage proper. Now the stacks utilized were low elevation type, not like you envision with modern day power plants, so anything that made its way to freedom was distributed all over Anchorage, as part of the breathing air. The management was so dumb, naïve or in denial over the asbestos problem, that they would invite in grade school classes from the base! See, this was their way to reinforce upon themselves and others - including the workers and 3rd graders - that there was nothing wrong! And the workers couldn’t disrupt anything in the plant, not even a broom was allowed, a plant that looked good from the outside but inside remained as filthy as a New York City back alley slum! In ending, for years the EAFB power plant belched copious amounts of partially burned friable asbestos airborne out the six operating furnace stacks, targeting Anchorage and outlying areas. This stuff would not be destroyed by the furnaces’ high temperatures and would end up free-flowing into the air, and most likely breathed in by this city’s unknowing residents. If you were here during those years, there is a possibility that you may have sucked in some air that seemed alright - remember it looks good from the outside - but there comes the possibility that it was laden with asbestos fibers. And it takes only one fiber in the wrong place at the wrong time to cause mesothelioma, a devastating decease of the lungs. It may be years before the effects of loose asbestos confronts and alarms the general public here in Anchorage, but I am sure that some day will be looking for answers and find only excuses as the culprits seek immunity and preferential treatment, just like they have always done at the expense of others. And now that the landmark power plant is missing in action with commencement of the wrecking ball and the leftover asbestos has been so carefully packed up and sent somewhere outside for annihilation, this tidbit historical is testament that we should be on the lookout, as Mesothelioma may be coming to a neighborhood near you!

EJECTED!
Wow, I was “EJECTED” from Ann Coulter’s “chat” room site. All I did was engage in conversation with Ann in efforts to see if she would entertain a mud-wrestling match with Sarah Palin! And things were getting close to the contract stage by agreeing on a few minor modifications. Ann thought that Sarah would need a handicap so allowed Sarah to bring along MegaWitch, so it was to be a two against one match! And Ann said she would further complicate matters by wearing a pair of Sarah glasses. And this mud-wrestling match was all for charity! It was going well until one of Ann’s chat room followers went upset that I would try to engage the “Goddess” in a wrestling match with Sarah. Like a frenzied wildfire, her followers ganged up so I was booted. It was amazing how many “creepsters” came to Ann’s defense, as she is their Goddess no doubt! They actually regard her as such! Anyway, I am trying to get back on Ann’s site, through another back-door fictitious means. But her contingency is nasty and rumor has it that Ann polices the site as a private eye-detective, to make sure it stays inflated by constipated followers. Regardless, and not to give her publicity, this site is a whole lot of laughs. Are there actually humans out there that are members of the “Pathetic Society” akin to the “Flat Earth Society”? So don’t get excited about an Ann Coulter vs. Palin & MegaWitch mud-wrestling extravaganza, as there exists a faction out there that is constipated and will do everything possible to defend the “Queen”, as do worker bees! Hey, I am back on Ann’s site of morons! I found the back-door login! Have at it. Use this Login: NNATNUC. Password: BlondBimbo. Get on in and find out where individuals missing an IQ congregate!

Cap & Trade
OK, so what big deal nothing that Sarah Palin thought this so-called “Cap & Trade” energy policy was just that, a trading in of one’s multi-colored ball-cap studded with a toy wind turbine, a.k.a. Propeller Beanie Cap. The entertainment keeps on coming! And she isn’t even a comedian. But when one looks at what one takes away from a career as an Alaska politician - even if short lived - there is life after corruption in the comedy circuit. Look at what this state has produced with respect to low-life politicians gone wild. The list is too long to recite. I wonder how Ted is doing? I wonder if Ted and son Ben go fishing? In fact, there wasn’t the “hoorah” over the Kenai River Classic this year, as if maybe that entire fiasco normally sponsored for U.S. Senators and enjoyed at no fee for the participants belonging as a burden upon the U.S. Taxpayers was not as popular, now that Ted is in hiding. Do you realize that our Senators and Congressmen pay the least amount of taxes? Really, with perks and special interest money donations and PAC war chests, these bandits get away with no taxation for representation. And why is Don spending so much tax free income for others to represent him in the legal arena? If he was innocent then there would be no need to spend “other’s” money. Maybe this is Don’s idea of a “stimulus”! I don’t have all that kind of extra cash on hand to defend if I do something wrong. And if I did, it would be considered income and I may go to jail if I didn’t declare it as such. For the most part, Congressmen, Congresswomen and Senators of this country are worthless pieces of crap that have only one intent, the selling out of freedom wherein they benefit and the common working people again get screwed over. This country needs a common working class hero in the White House. If I were “President for a Day”, I would eliminate the Congress and let citizens of this great country “twitter” vote for what they support, or don’t support. Wars would be a choice of the people and not through some trumped up Cheney make-believe threat. How come Cheney and Bush and the entire entourage that signed the PNAC agreement are not yet in jail? Why the delay? Mark Twain was right, when not doing their duty they all deserve to do time! Thieves and crooks they are. How come there is no coverage whatsoever for the U.S. soldier now held captive by the Taliban? And the commanders are threatening to kill! Remember, McCain was a captive and found a captive audience and used his so-called torture episodes as a ways and means to propel himself into politics. Then we were tortured for years by his bullshit and pathetic wishy-washy policy making. And Sarah wants to be in the “In” crowd? It is but more torture when she gets center stage attention and at the same time our troops are being ambushed and taken prisoner of WAR. Anyway, we will continue to see that Palin is in it for the entertainment, as it pays more in revenue as this country has become a ship of fools wherein we understand so little about government and take the easy road to nowhere, just like the bridges. The history that is culminating now will never be fit for a Time-Capsule, as nobody in their right mind would believe that a civilization could continue on when the leadership was comic. Now I am not talking national, as Obama seems to be reigning in accountability and transparency, something the Palin fans seems not to like, or care about as such means being truthful. In closing, Alaska is famous for its diphtheria serum run to Nome. What this state needs now is a truth serum run, because there is something affecting the well-being and honesty of the politicians that seem to get into office around these parts. And quitting or going to prison seems to be the norm! And are not we so glad and fortunate that the capital never made a move out to Wasillabilly territory? Anyway, we should be paying attention to what is really crippling this country, like POW and not comic relief by yours truly a jerk, Sarah Palin.

Anchorage's KINGdown Award
Anchorage has become the recipient of the 2009 KINGdown Award. This award is presented to the city that is most challenged with issues of equal rights and showing signs that it will most likely “Not Succeed”, wherein equal rights fall “down” in a way that would have frustrated Martin Luther King. The challenges that bring about this ugly award – a negative mark against a city in efforts for the advancement of Equal Rights – comes through the most recent decision by the Anchorage Assembly’s Chair Debbie Ossiander for allowing interference upon the due process of hearing the “voice” of the constituent voters only. During the most recent hearing before the Assembly on Anchorage Ordinance 2009-64 “Equal Rights Provisions” and before any assembly voting process, the Anchorage Assembly instituted insensitive behavior upon its core constituency and interference upon the “due process” by allowing Jerry Prevo to incite bigotry upon the masses - by bringing in busloads of protesters against the ordinance from the Valley. Anchorage is an eminent domain that does not include the voice of “outsiders”. Some of those bused in were under age and had no idea about the issues confronting the Assembly but were allowed to partake of the “Bigotry” movement advanced by Prevo and the Anchorage Baptist Temple. This can only cause bigotry to be ingrained in those still trying to develop an individual conscience. This demonstrates that Anchorage – through the Assembly Chair’s actions or inactions – is a city bent on bigotry and sets back equal rights gained. This should be a wake up call that Anchorage is not a city of “Brotherly Love” and will most likely see an escalation in “Hate Crimes” and other atrocities against humans in their Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness - should this type of interference persist. Residents should be alarmed and tourist should also be cautious when visiting this city, especially those practicing an alternative lifestyle. This KINGdown award can be lifted should Anchorage show by example an about face with respect to equal rights interference. A first step would be to re-call Assembly Chair Ossiander as incompetent in furthering equal rights. This would be an example that this type of behavior will not be tolerated in the quest for such rights and place Anchorage back on track as a city that enjoys and fosters equal rights.

Dickman Poll
A recent survey by the Dickman Pollster - Alaska’s Other Pollsters - indicates a serious concern with respect to tourist traffic here in the “Last Frontier”. Many would be tourists bound “North to Alaska” have already cancelled out, due to various reasons. But 2500 individuals that had booked a trip for the 2009 summer season - one of the best summers of record - then cancelled out have done so NOT due economic difficulties. This poll provides the following information that should help understand why the Alaskan tourist trade downturn is alarming upon historical records. Those accepting the survey were asked the following question:
“Was Sarah Palin in any way shape or form reason to why you cancelled a trip to Alaska?”
Results of Survey:
1000 or 40% surveyed said they were tired of hearing about Alaska’s Sarah Palin in the news and everywhere else, so with that in mind and out of protest decided to go to another place wherein they could enjoy themselves without political fallout. Many were frightened away when their pre-recorded tourist update advisory mentioned “Alaska, the Palin State” and no longer said anything about the natural scenery or fishing reports. One would-be tourist gone irate said that she spent almost an hour on the phone with a “customer representative” trying to find out if she and her husband would see the “mountain”, - a.k.a. Denali - and were told they had a better chance of seeing Palin in the news.
1000 or 40% indicated that they were now afraid to visit the 49er since Russia is so close(Sarah insists that she can see Russia through her bedroom window at her home in Wasilla). The cold war lives on! Those surveyed said that if provided a gun and ammo upon getting to Alaska, then that would make a difference but their cheapskate package deal didn’t include that level of protection.
500 or the remaining 20% said that they had a better chance of seeing Palin in the lower 48 states then here in Alaska, as she likes to gallivant around on the entertainment circuit.
The 500 who stayed at home due a better chance to see the celebrity wannabe were asked an additional question. “Who is Sarah Palin?”
250 thought she was a roller derby queen turned politician.
150 thought she was the figment of John McCain’s “political babe” imagination.
50 thought she was a Drill Sergeant gone AWOL.
Drill Sergeant? Wow, this is it, there exists people in the know out there in wha-la land, even though it seems to be in the meager minority ranks. Bottom-line and like I have plogged upon earlier in my career, Sarah Palin will be known for her “Drill Baby Drill” mentality which has enough fallout by now to camouflage the “Drill” sentiment with “Pollute Baby Pollute”. Her steadfast resolve to open up fragile and pristine environments for the wrecking ball mentality is showing its ugly face right about now. Stay tuned, as this will soon be headline news in an upcoming documentary. If interested, funding for filming this documentary is accepted under SarahWACKO at storylineonline@gci.net. Please do not get this link confused with SarahPAC, the endless pot of gold that protects Sarah’s selfish interests, wherein it is testament that people that contribute to her aspirations are SICKO!

Sarah Palin's Legacy
Once again the “Outsiders” - a.k.a. Pandora’s Pundits - are feverishly trying to cash in on foretelling what will be Sarah Palin’s legacy. Failed run at the presidency as John “Madman” McCain’s running mate? A multi-million dollar book deal wherein the ending was not until she resigned? Can you imagine quitting just so a book has an ending? And how much did this risky retreat to wha-la land swell the endorsement? Was it the pressure from Goldilocks book publishing, for a few extra million? “Take the money and run, take the money and run”. Why is it Palin likes to “quit”? Questions, questions, questions. And is it true that before he died Oscar Meyer tried to promote a contract with the Palin’s to drive around the country in a “salmon red” WienerMobile pushing “Salmon” wieners? Imagine that, Sarah and Toad running shore to shore in the dog salmon car? Now that is something she could do with ease. And think about it, a different small town pageant parade every weekend wherein she could reign the beauty queen. She could be even more famous with another base, the kids. And she wouldn’t have to worry about difficult political or environmental questions while on the circuit. About the only difficult question may be something like, “Where’s the beef?” Now it may be still too early to tell her true legacy, but the “legacy” path is already following a path of destruction. What? Here it is in a nutshell for Sarah’s fruitcake audience. Sarah Palin’s legacy will be “Drill Baby Drill”. That catcall made famous during her campaigning for McCain. Talk about irresponsible behavior! The “calling” in effect is an all out run amuck attack on the oil fields of Alaska, especially offshore, wherein such haste can have but one outcome – waste! And it didn’t just start when she took up residence in Juneau, as once upon a time Sarah was appointed the chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and in that position decided to take on “Big Oil”, like Exxon-Mobil, British Petroleum and Conoco-Phillips. This state commission oversees everything oil and gas related. In fact, so powerful that it has jurisdiction over the EPA! And it was around that time that the playing field was softened to allow drilling where once drilling was not feasible, from an economic standpoint and most notably from an environmental standpoint. The more fragile the environment the more it adds to the cost. This for years scared away “Big Oil” from drilling where no man has drilled before. Today, we are stating to see the fallout coming of such allowance and the irresponsible behavior, wherein anybody can head out on the pristine tundra or open waters and poke holes in the ground in efforts to find oil. When Sarah was the “chairwoman” of the “commission”, she quit that position also, after she broke into another board member’s computer while engaged in a spy vs. spy mission. See, another commissioner was doing GOP business on the state’s dime. Sound familiar? Stay tuned, as soon there will come a Moore - NOT Shannon - like documentary that tells it like it is, the sad truth of what Sarah allowed when she infiltrated government on the heels of corruption, when the time was right for her to cash-in on MurCowski’s reign of corruption for her own reign of “Pollute Baby Pollute” Bottom line, somebody isn’t watching what went on back then so is not watching what is going on this day, from what went on behind closed doors yesterday. It was favoritism that has taken this state down a rocky road of destruction with respect to environmental stewardship. Many thought we learned the lesson with the EXXON Valdez wreck when matter of fact that made it a little easier, as to climax that nightmare is tough too do, but that atrocity upon the environment is used as the guide to what and what we cannot do or go after. It basically brings back the sentiment that the “solution to pollution is dilution”. What the “commission” allowed and endorsed by the governors basically opens it all up to exploration and exploitation. See, the state allows it because it is the “black gold” that allows so many bureaucrats to have useless jobs as it is oil that fuels this state’s economy. And nobody likes to be a whistle-blower as there is “zero” protection for speaking up. And Sarah was behind a lot of the fancy footwork that has this “Drill Baby Drill” as out of control as John McCain’s presidential bid, like NOT allowing polar bears on the endangered species list. Polar bears are getting mad as their habitat is dwindling and what is left is interfering with oil exploration. Palin was so far out of touch with political reality when at the same time environmental responsibility was just a suggestion, I am glad she quit. But it may be a little too late as it is tough to stop or change horses in midstream. That is why her legacy will be remembered in my book as “Drill Baby Drill”! And why did Sarah give Levi so much guff when this kid without a future was trying to cash in on any and or deals wherein he was part of the “Family” from Wasillabilly country? I give the guy credit! Palin may be doing the same thing, cashing in! Maybe she finally realized if you can’t beat them, join in. Hey, I just received a phone solicitation from some outfit trying to promote Sarah. It isn’t only book deals that has Sarah seeing the $$$$. Hey, with crap like Palin’s memoirs hitting the market book shelves, it has the same effect as book banning burning. Her crap displaces real writings. Bill Clinton did the same thing. He was paid 10-million and the book only sold ¼ that amount. See, this kind of crap hurts the real writing world. Real writers - just to get published - have to recoup the losses of the celebrity status quo trying to be famous in print. About the only book Palin is good for is a comic relief book. Anyway, the solicitation person was wondering if I would be interested in “Beta” testing some Palin endorsements. Wow! First there is a rendition board game designed like “Srabble” The only difference is the fact that “SCAB” is limited to words of four letters or less, proper spelling isn’t necessary and cheating is allowed. And then there is the board & card game called “Where in the World is Sarah Palin”, modeled after “Carmen Sandiego”, wherein people try to guess what her next move is. And then for my time answering the questions I was offered a pass to another new game show, “Is Your Turtle Smarter Then Sarah Palin?” Egad, what fame and fortune can do to disrupt decency! In ending, it is “Drill Baby Drill” that will soon take Palin’s audience by surprise. Hopefully before her next political move, as there is a problem at hand with this annihilation upon righteousness in environmental stewardship and her base may want to find out the truth so help us God, so they can baste away her political and financial aspirations to Doomsville, forevermore forever Amen. Maybe this state should honor her with this title, “Wicked Witch of the North”!
