BB game is 3 hours. Can you not give the man 3 hours? Oops, forgot to whom I was responding! IMPEACH OBAMA!!! He went to a 3 hour BB game and had a beer!!!! OMG!!!!
Since when does the Governor need to be present for the legislature to function? Maybe you should go back to 8th grade and finish your civics education, because it is obviously lacking.

As far as our Affirmative Action President is concerned, he is just another Democrat substance abuser following in the footsteps of the boozer Ted Kennedy. But that is nothing new. It is a damn good thing the Secret Service drives Obama around, or there would be grounds for impeachment.

Nope she is not or is she is doesn't care. I already posted a link to what the Alaskan Natives think of Wailin's choice for AG. I live on an island that is more than 99% Alaskan Native and I bear witness that the people here depend greatly on subsistence from hunting and fishing. Hunting and fishing are not a hobby or a sport, they are a survival necessity.

This is part of what former Chief of the Arctic Neetsaii Gwich'in tribe and the current Executive Director of Native Movement, Evon Peter wrote(read the piece, not just this post),
OpEdNews » Alaska Natives On Palin

Quote:
Alaska Native peoples are among the only indigenous peoples in all of North America who's Indigenous Hunting and Fishing Rights have been extinguished by federal legislation and yet we are the most dependent people on this way of life.

As Alaska Governor, Palin has continued the path of her predecessor Frank Murkowski in challenging attempts by Alaska Native people to regain their human right to their traditional way of life through subsistence.

The colonial mentality in and towards Alaska is to exploit the land and resources for profits and power, at the expense of Alaska Native people.

Governor Palin reflects this attitude and perception in her words and leadership.

Tell that to the Legislators who are pissed that she's going to be gone! I do have two advanced degrees so in that I believe you're the one who is lacking. Any decision made by the Legislators regarding the stimulus money can be vetoed by ol' Walin'. It's my understanding they want to make decisions with her input so there will be no veto. Got it or should I use single syllable words?

Let me guess what your two degrees are in - Fahrenheit & Celsius, right? It obviously wasn't in Political Science considering you think the legislature is unable to function without the Governor being present.

Before posting more lies about subsistence you should get a clue and read the Alaska State Constitution. First, there are no sovereign tribes in Alaska. Second, the state constitution guarantees every Alaskan equal access to Alaska's resources. If that gets too difficult for you to comprehend, try the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, where all laws are to be applied equally to everyone.

Nope. Hint about the first, you would need to raise your hand before you could speak in my presence. I left that field for my current profession. Here's a hint about that one, I can prescribe the medication you may need.

Now, where did I state the legislature can't function without the Governor?

I have never posted that there was a sovereign tribe or tribes in Alaska and I didn't post 'lies' about subsistence. I posted statements written by former Chief of the Arctic Neetsaii Gwich'in tribe and the current Executive Director of Native Movement, Evon Peter. And, I posted my direct observation about subsistence here in SE Alaska.

You really should read what I post before calling me a liar. It only makes you look foolish when you don't.
