Much bluer and calming.

When did Mrs. Claus get in the race?!
Joe Biden still wants to cut Iraq into three Iraqs, and then lose three different Iraq Wars, just so he can win the election.
No, silly Juli…he wants to give one McDonalds franchise each to the Kurds, Shia and Sunni. That will solve everything. Until the Russians invade.
Isn’t “Wasilla” Inuit for “Meth Suppository”?
But where does Palin stand on the clubbing of baby seals?
user-of-owls: No, he wants to give the Kurds, Shia, and Sunni ONE McDonalds to SHARE, ’cause they’re all the same anyway.
TGY: Right above and a little to the side of them, so she can get more power but not get too much blood spray on her.
facehead: It’s code (in reverse) for “all is aw” where the AW is “a British sniper rifle” as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aw
grendel: Well of course they’re all the same, otherwise the fries would taste different depending on where….oh, you meant the other thing.
actually, Wasilla has a not-unattractive website for a town that size in the middle of ice hell, Alaska. apparently the Palin used some of them moneys for an image consulting firm…..
“Well, she’s had executive experience, and that’s what it takes to be a capable person here in Washington, D.C. in the executive branch,” Bush said.
Well, the former Governor of Texas ought to know, right? And if that idiot can do it…
On a somewhat serious note, what sort of trick is it to be able to run a state with no residents and a big honkin’ surplus given to you gratis, courtesy of the oil companies? I mean, she basically lived in Wasilla, WHILE governor, unless the legislature is in session. Apparently, executive duties don’t even require you to be in the office, unless the legislature is there, too.
There’s actually a pee-dee-eff entitled “What are the duties of the Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska?” I was wondering myself, so I booted up my Amiga and checked it out:
A. The mayor is the chief administrator of the city, has the same powers and duties
as those of a manager under AS 29.20.005, and shall:
1. Preside at council meetings. The mayor may take part in the discussion of
matters before the council, but may not vote, except that the mayor may vote in the
case of a tie;
2. Act as ceremonial head of the city;
3. Sign documents on behalf of the city;
4. Appoint, suspend or remove city employees and administrative officials,
except as provided otherwise in AS Title 29 and the Wasilla Municipal Code;
5. Supervise the enforcement of city law and carry out the directives of the city
council;
6. Prepare and submit an annual budget and capital improvement program for
consideration by the council, and execute the budget and capital program as adopted;
7. Make monthly financial reports and other reports on city finances and
operations as required by the council;
8. Exercise legal custody over all real and personal property of the city;
9. Perform other duties required by law or by the council; and
10. Serve as personnel officer, unless the council authorizes the mayor to
appoint a personnel officer.
Oh, Lady McIcetits is SO ready to be President of the United States.
TGY: Oh! Oh! I know this one! Over the top of the seal with a Louisville Slugger!!!
That piece by Jonathan Martin quoting Dubya on what it takes to be a successful leader in D.C. almost made my head explode.
Oh my god, the entire Job qualifications and duties description is a whopping 2-1/2 pages long… and that includes a paragraph on the salary…..
No wonder she had no clue about what a Veep does. If the explanation was longer than a children’s book, she couldn’t comprehend it!
loquaciousmusic: I’m pretty sure I could do that list of tasks and I’ve never even been to Wasilla.
professor.cj: Don’t forget to stop by and learn more about the $15M multi-use sports complex built on land the city may or may not own! http://www.cityofwasilla.com/index.aspx?page=114
No Sarah Palin dirt is going to dissuade Republicans from voting for her. People don’t understand that ‘problem’ candidates do different things to the two parties. When Kerry came under fire from the Swift Boaters, Dems wrung their collective hands and dithered. Scandal, proven or insinuated only focuses the Republican party, ergo, the worse their candidate is, the harder they work to get them elected. That is how, even though he so obviously has the effectiveness of a turnip, G.W. got elected twice.
loquaciousmusic: So basically she had the same responsibilities as a manager at Mcdonald’s, which is important in Alaska, as it is the only thing keeping it from being Annexed by Russia.
loquaciousmusic: It left off organizing the bake sale
azw88: A children’s book? Well, that’s a swell idea. It worked for unemployed (but at least Columbia educated) Mehgan. The SnowBilly has like 5 1/2 semi-literate kids who might be able to spell some words that go under pictures too. Let the profits begin
facehead: We’re all Inuits now.
grendel: A resposibility she DELEGATED. Hey! Add another one to the list!
And why is Husband Todd always CCed when none of the emails pertain to
snowmobilingsnowballing?There, fixed.
loquaciousmusic:
11. Give lipstick application lessons to indifferent pit bulls.
12. Teach teen pregnancy prevention to even more indifferent pit bulls. Get them royally pissed. Take notes about their elocution. Use later.
13. Work as a Miss Alaska runner-up latherering meth off of snowmobiles at the Wisella carwash/city hall. Save residue.
14. Reduce size of hips.
15. Keep a very sharp eye re: the goings-on that snake The Todd.
16. Learn to merrily, merrily dance to the “Pork Barrel Polka”.
17. Gut pre-clubbed baby harps seals.
18. Then rifle down the critters from your two-seater prop. Make recreational video so your kids can watch. Home schooling.
19. Plot how to become Commissar of the broadest (and only) direct dole, welfare state in the Union. Remember to wire Karl Marx once in office. From this future executive experience, plan how to change America..
20. Reduce size of hips. Really. I mean really this time..
The mayor of Wasallia makes $75,000??? WTF??!!
The mayor of Tucson, Arizona makes less than 50K and we have a population about 550-600,000.
Our mayor makes decisions that impact the lives of well over 800,000 people,(greater Tucson area) which is MORE than the the entire frozen tundra of AK, and his makes less that 2/3 of the mayor of a po-dunk town with a population of ~10k??? Jeez, great use of that oil money!!!
Hey, someone call Todd - he might be interested in this:

Somebody hurry up and make one of them pdf’s for Sarah that reads “What are the duties of the Vice President of the United States?” She has an interview coming up, so if you can include some foreign and economic policy statements and still keep it less that two pages, that would be great.
Bush will be proven right when his says history will judge him differently than people currently do. Once McCain/Palin get in, he will no longer be the country’s worst president ever.
It looks like Nancy Pelosi will be bending over backwards again for the Republicans when they return from vacation. I wish I knew her when she was younger. She was hot back then and probably just as limber!
I totally respect Sarah Palin’s right to keep certain emails secret if they included personal notes. How would you feel if you had the following conversation and it was revealed to the public?
Sarah: Hi Todd! Bored at work again. Any ideas on someone else to fire so it looks like I’m working for the people?
Todd: Don’t fire any of your staff, or you’ll have to start doing work again. Haha!:D
Sarah: Yeah. Lol. Are you at home? I’ll be leaving work soon.
Todd: What are you wearing?
Sarah: Your business partner’s semen.
Todd: I’ll be waiting. LYL
the more wars we lose the more elections we win, i like bidens style, one iraq per iraqi lets dominate the U.S. for the next several thousand years!
