Palin is a pretty face and a good speaker....not much more

Most of her sound-bites have been shown to be false or inaccurate

She hasn't finished too many things in Alaska that she ran on.....she is a republican politician, they all talk a good story til they are on the job

Even ole Carl Rove said today her big splash was short lived...

Kind of like every other VP this country has had? It's not like she's running for prez. I don't see what all the hoopla is about. Everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. And now the hollywood celebs are making a big deal out of it. Like any of them are any better. It's sickening.

Alaska Natives at the Time of the Invasions

That is a very good description of Alaskan history in a short version. UAF has all sorts of neat stuff in their archives you can access on the web.

Thanks for posting that!

I can look at her all day, she is very easy on the eyes. The person I'm sick of seeing is Obama, I change the channel whenever he's on.

Because Mexican-Americans choose to speak Spanish doesn't make them illegals.

Because of the 'melting pot' of American, I don't look like any specific nationality except, I don't look Caucasian. Years ago when I was a student and working as a nurse's aide, a patient with a strong accent, asked me 'What are you?'. I knew what he meant but answered, 'I'm a woman.' He said, 'No! What are you.' I told him I was Mexican-American. He told me "You talk real good for a Mexican.' I asked what he was and he said Norwegian. I told him he spoke very well for a Norwegian. He was insulted.

I agree we should all speak a common language. What bothers me, is the assumption that because some of us aren't Caucasian and some of us have a first language that isn't English, we're considered 'illegals'. I have ancesters who helped the first Europeans off their boats but I'm considered more un-American than a second generation European.

Hmmm, go figure!
Pretty well said!

I don't care is someone speaks a second language as a first. Just speaking one common language is what unites a country as one.

Not being able to comunicate is what starts wars.
