Yep - just like they did with Jerry Ford. Bill Clinton. Bush #1. Jimmy Carter.

She was in some very fine company IMO>

There's a big difference between making fun of someone because they're quirky or an idiot.Palin isn't quirky!

Seems like poetic license to me - not to be taken in a legal sense.

Convicted in the court of public opinion (or public humiliation) is what I think he meant...

She has been charged a few times with abuse of power;the last time when she fired the sheriff for breaking up with her sister(I wish I was kidding but this was the reason).Of course she got off on this charge. Now she was charged with tax evasion because she lives in her own home and not the government mansion so she gets extra money which has to be claimed on taxes.She never claimed the extra money and now still refuses to pay the difference.

Tell me a state that doesn't! Actually NY has less drugs based on population as a state compared to Alaska and most high population states across the board and is especially not known for meth labs.Crystal meth is not a common drug in NY.

And dropping! OPEC is trying to set a $50/barrel price because they know coming into the spring that the demand will be less.

I know you've participated in threads where this was linked.
But here's the site again: The Tax Foundation - Federal Taxing and Spending Benefit Some States, Leave Others Paying Bill
That's $1.84 benefit for every $1 in federal taxes.
But you are completely ignoring that the Federal Government owns most of Alaska, and that it makes quite a lot of money from every barrel of oil extracted. Where do you think the Alaska oil goes to? To Alaska?
