"Hey, I Can See A High-Paying Gig With Fox News From Here"

Sarah Palin might be the only American politician--left, right, or center--who refuses to acknowledge the reality of global warming. Incredibly, she lives in the place on the planet where the effects of this phenomenon are most obvious.
No, you can't see Russia from here--but you can see the altered landscape, the invasive species of flora and fauna, the dying wildlife, the unusual weather and all the other changes that scientists predicted would make us the "canary in the coal mine."

Our governor is apparently oblivious to something else: the Alaskan law that holds a government official liable for ethics charges up to 2 years after leaving office. This makes her main excuse for ditching the state a year-and-a-half early--to spare her and her family from further ethics charges--even more ridiculous than most people realize.

Sarah is essentially Dubya in drag. Both of em frequently speak in gobbledegook tongues. For those of us who can't comprehend their gibberish, some sort of close captioned subtitles should be offered with their every t.v. appearance. Especially when they ad-lib.
