salt content would mean it freezes slower. :2twocents.

All the more reason not to piss against the wind as (you and) Palin are arguably doing. :cool:

Speaking of going "on the piss"

Here's what the Bible says ...
Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. (The Book of Proverbs 5:15)*

Not sure about Alaska, but just over the ditch in Siberia, they have been known to "hit the piss" - to get a second high from the magic mushrooms they had yesterday... :eek:

....Ceremonial

The Koryak people of Siberia drink urine in conjunction with their ceremonial use of the psychoactive .. mushroom. The active alkaloids are unchanged as they pass through the human body, allowing the urine to retain the intoxicating effects of the mushroom

Ok... I know Palin is merely a puppet of the McCain campaign and is seducing her party by doing what they want.

And she probably does not know what 'they' write and she reads.
I give her the benefit of the doubt as she does not have a reputation for reading current affairs.

McCain is not young so he probably forgets what his party did to him in his 2000 campaign.

The McCain campaign had recruited as a Palin handler none other than Tucker Eskew, the South Carolina consultant who had worked for George W. Bush in the notorious 2000 G.O.P. primary battle where the McCains and their adopted Bangladeshi daughter were slimed by vicious racist rumors.

No less disconcerting was a still-unexplained passage of Palin’s convention speech:

Her use of an unattributed quote praising small-town America (as opposed to, say, Chicago and its community organizers) from Westbrook Pegler, the mid-century Hearst columnist famous for his anti-Semitism, racism and violent rhetorical excess.

After an assassin tried to kill F.D.R. at a Florida rally and murdered Chicago’s mayor instead in 1933, Pegler wrote that it was “regrettable that Giuseppe Zangara shot the wrong man.”
In the ’60s, Pegler had a wish for Bobby Kennedy: “Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow falls.”

This is the writer who found his way into a speech by a potential vice president at a national convention.

It’s astonishing there’s been no demand for a public accounting from the McCain campaign.

Imagine if Obama had quoted a Black Panther or Louis Farrakhan — or William Ayers — in Denver.

Informed opinion is common sense. But common sense is not too common it seems.

Palin backers are rejoicing that the Troopergate Report did not lay charges on her and claim it was a political stunt!
Hmmm... Doesn't - 10 Republicans + 4 Democrats = bipartisan report!?


The report establishes that Palin deliberately set up Todd Palin to handle communications over the Wooten matter after Monegan warned her it was inappropriate for her to be making such contacts herself.

"The evidence supports the conclusion that Gov. Palin, at the least, engaged in 'official action' by her inaction, if not her active participation or assistance to her husband in attempting to get Trooper Wooten fired," adding that "there is evidence of her active participation."

Palin "knowingly, permitted Todd Palin to use the governor's office and the resources of the governor's office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired."

These contacts were a breach of ethics and an abuse of the governor's office.

The state Ethics Act holds that public officials have a duty of public trust that prevents them from attempting to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action.


* The report made no specific recommendations on penalties or how to proceed.

* Further action would be up to the state personnel board, which is carrying out a separate inquiry.

Civil penalties range, theoretically, from impeachment by the Legislature to a reprimand or a fine of up to $5,000 by the state personnel board, but most legislative sources thought it unlikely any action would be taken.

"We understood at the beginning that we were on a fact-finding mission, but we don't have the power to prosecute."

"We have the power to investigate. We have the power to change law based on the investigation.
We don't have the power to convene a grand jury, for example, and seek an indictment."

BTW... Palin demanded Wooten be charged as he had shot a female moose without a permit.

Monegan investigated and found: Palin's sister had a permit for the moose and was present when it was shot.
Palin's father had butchered the moose. :eek:

It seems McCain's camp doesn't read newspapers either! ... birds of a feather

Surely they'd have a copy of the official outcome - which newspapers have quoted.

This statement looks quite silly embedded with pertinent 'facts' in the WSJ:

The McCain campaign issued a statement that said the report "illustrates what we've known all along:
this was a partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters."

The statement added: "Lacking evidence to support the original Monegan allegation, the Legislative Council seriously overreached, making a tortured argument to find fault without basis in law or fact."

am I missing something? is it some personal thing against Palin or the republicans or whatever? fact remains, there is a lot of personal vilification going on in this thread ... not just against Palin but against one another.

you are all supposed to be good mates, not call each other names. otherwise you will find yourselves banned for quite a fair length of time & who wants that to happen?

oh & by the way: many years ago I wrote a book with that lady from Q'ld ... please explain ... in mind - a sexdoll in her image takes centre stage for a while. its called Karleen MP. a few copies to give away for light relief, anyone. first three, for free ....

it was actually the first thing that struck me about Palin ... the resemblance.

what was it John Laws used to say: be kind to each other!

It is called Palin Derangement Syndrome. It is so over the top. The same people that are shocked when something is uttered against Obama, are way way way more over the top against McCain and especially Palin. It is unhealthy. There will be many heart attacks on the left when McCain/Palin pull this one out.

Yesterday on TV, some Obama pundit was foaming at the mouth and calling Palin racist because she calls herself a hockey mom. Why was he so upset? Well, his reasoning was that this was a code word term against blacks. You see, as he said "Blacks don't play hockey, so the term is not inclusive". Crazy stuff. The hate and anger is coming much more from the left than from the right.

Go to the comments sections on any articles on the Huffington Post, Democraticunderground and ANY other left wing site in America (and undoubtedly Australia too - all leftists are alike, wherever they are) and see the spit and anger. Thousands and thousands of unhinged comments.

Actually, what shocked me the most was the violent intent of many of the hard right respondents in the comments following the article. The many calls to "bear arms" and "stand up & fight for what's right" (literally - not figuratively) sounds like a call to revolution.

You say it is not Republicans who are gripped by insane rage? Did you even bother to read the various Republican respondent's comments? Or did you just blindly follow the tenet of the article's author?

I'll say one thing as an "outside observer". This campaign does appear to be turning into one of the most devisive elections in Americas history.

Whoever wins, that won't be good news for the incoming President.

Take a chill pill, man.

The propaganda on this waste-of-time site was 99.9% from/on 2004-5.
What does that have to do with Obama?
His self-constructed brief is based on annihilating that sort of destructive divisive rot from politics.

As one blogger pointed out, some aspects need to be centralized by federal gov't eg food labelling, defence.
I would add healthcare. Argue the policies and stop stooping to petty lies and distortions!

You fooled me twice! Never again shall I waste my time and read your sick sites! I've tried to see your side.

This blogger from that site is the essence of common sense and reality:
Oh come on. There are deranged loons on both sides.

The difference is the recent looniness on the right has been incited by McCain himself! And the outrageous comments from supporters are being said in front of Palin/McCain.

Only yesterday did McCain finally try to put a stop to the frenzy he and Palin whipped up themselves.

Obama has not incited his supporters in this way.
I agree there is ugliness on the left as well, but there is no evidence Obama/Biden are fueling it.

Huge difference.

Palin: 'Very much appreciating being cleared of any legal wrongdoing or unethical activity at all'

It seems incredible to me that Palin can so blatantly lie about the Troopergate Report!
Why doesn't she just promote the parts of the report that favour her and omit the guilty parts? - Lie by omission?
... but then she does do this, when asked if she did 'anything' wrong - she skirts the question.

Does she think folk do not read newspapers? ... only listen to her comments on radio and TV interviews?
Does she really think people won't notice that her lies reflect her dishonesty?


On the left, on the bottom of the first page, you can click to hear her interview with Alaskan radio stations:

http://community.adn.com/adn/node/132625

The full script of her interview is below the audio button.
 
When the Secret Service stepped in to 'keep an eye on supporters who threaten to harm Obama at McCain-Palin rallies', McCain, it seems, 'reformed' by saying Obama was a good, family man... no need to be scared of him as president - in his effort to also present himself as decent and honorable.

But the campaign's speech notes were more subtle for Palin's attacks!
They're letting her pit bull traits shine through and carry on the innuendo... (last night, our time):

Palin focused on the economy saying Obama would raise taxes, increase spending, add to the national debt.

“Folks, in times like these the last thing we need is a tax increase,” she said at a rally in front of a barn.
“America just can’t afford another big spender in the White House.”
Click to expand...

Did folk hear Obama say in two debates - 95% will get tax relief - no tax increase under $250k income.
Did they not notice that McCain did not deny he wants $billions more in tax relief for the weathy?
Bottom-up versus top-down economic regeneration!

Her tough talk on Obama’s relationship with William Ayers and views on abortion were excluded, other than a passing message to Obama’s opposition to a ban on late-term abortions, which elicited chants of, “Killer” from the crowd.
Click to expand...

Did they not hear Obama stress that abortion is a state issue?
Wouldn't Palin KNOW that? ... or at least her speech-writers should have!

She tried to offload Bush's record from McCain:
McCain would take on wasteful spending and abuses of power as president.

So subtly she encouraged a continuation of anger in her flock:
“All across America, I know that there’s a lot of anger right now,” she said. “There’s anger about the insider dealing of lobbyists and anger at the greed of Wall Street, and anger about the arrogance of the Washington elite. And with serious reforms to change Washington, John McCain is going to turn your anger into action.”

While she avoided explicitly linking Obama to Ayers Palin spoke of how those who “support and sympathize with the terrorists” are the bad guys.

While Palin was explicitly speaking of Islamic terrorists, it could be perceived as a way of evoking Ayers indirectly.

“They do not like America because of what we stand for: liberty, freedom, equal rights,” she said.
“Those who sympathize and support those terrorists who would seek to destroy all that it is that we value, those are the bad guys, OK?”

I wonder if she winked! ;)

Good God you've risen from the dead (sorry bed). You are determined to take shots at Doris and I - no one else, selective misogynist.

Swilling cheap beer and the hostie with the mostie must have gone down well with your wife?

Mate my third wife and I split up. She went down to live in a permaculture show near Nimbin. She's a nice girl, and we remain friends and still email each other.

The one thing that pisses her off is the large number of hairy legged humourless feminists down there who hate men.

I can give you the address if you want it. You'd fit in like Flynn.
