Definitely NOT empty then...sounds as though good common sense to me. Starch on unmentionables indeed.

She hasn't even been appointed president by the Supreme Court yet, and already God is performing Republican miracles previously reserved for His son and His son's virgin mother.

That may be because we have our own definitions of "hero".

Not the kind of thing I personally care to be associated with, even though I'm hardly a McCain/Palin supporter.

Of course it is. The names, not the children. At least not on my part. It's a little levity; far from the actual 'Palin is a joke as VP nominee' threads.

I think no matter what your name other children will tease you if they are so inclined. Some names make it easier than others. My first name is Josephine. Henry Corbel used to sing song, 'Josafinie ate my wienie' when we were in grade school. I cried every time he did it. I don't think he meant it the same way we adults (with dirty minds) think it does today.

But, that's one of the things I endured that made me a strong woman and made me see that being called a 'bit$h' on more than one occasion is actually a compliment.

Maybe they figure you would track them down and skin them alive if they did...

That works for me around here!

You're welcome to her, Arizona. The only good thing I can see is that if the ***** gets to be VP, Alaska will be rid of another brain dead, self serving, and stupid politician.

She thinks the planet is 6000 years old. I truly do despair.

That was funny. Much classier than this thread in general with its trademark sophomoric and slimy tone of the OP.

Hey, God put those fossils there so we would be able to debate evolution.

[Metlakatla]

I saw the word fossils and thought for a minute that you were talking about Stephens and Murkowski.

I noticed that in your previous job Metlakatla you benefitited from Senator Stevens foresight and fight for Alaskans. I refer to the following link for your reading pleasure. MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT

As for Govoner Palin, you have to give her credit for putting public interest back into politics. While she is a true politician and a equal oppertunist she did restore a decent tax system on big oil. My only hope is while she is off galavanting across the country the state keeps up with the pipline plans especially for instate use. While your out side living in snowbird country the rest of us are working through ways to make it through the winter with high fuel costs and the EPA wanting to shut down all those folks with their wood burners. Oh don't forget the EPA set the new fuel rules in 06 supposedly raising the cost to refine the fuel to the point the refineries are not making any money. Go figure....
