The new official internets moniker of Gov. Sarh Palin is VPILF.
Apparently, she’s a Vikings fan too… or is really into dress-up parties.

So what is this tax increase really for?
l3wis Munson keeps pushing for a retail tax increase. Originally it was for keeping up with infrastructure repairs on our roads (we are an estimated 80 million behind) but some some new information has come out about what the money is really going to be spent on.

I’m callin’ McCain’s VP
Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska
This is a good pick on a female conservative standpoint, but about it. I have always said Tom Ridge would be his best pick and Mitt Romney would be the kiss of death.
Does LifeLight fudge it’s numbers?
Well it wouldn’t surprise me (remember when Jesus fed 5,000 people with a couple of baskets of fish?) In the dead tree version of the Gargoyle Leader (I can’t find the freaking link on there site) they talk about the economic impact of the event (which makes me laugh, because when I used to wait tables the running joke was if they prayed before they ate, and made sure you saw them praying, and only ordered water to drink, you weren’t getting a tip). In the article they say 300,000 people are showing up to the event . . . yeah . . . right. As Scotty Hudson pointed out a few years ago, if every single person in the metro area came (which is about 230,000 people) you would still have to estimate that an additional 70,000 are coming from out of the area. There isn’t enough hotel rooms and campsites or even church basement floors to house all those people. Even JazzFest claims only about 30,000 come from out of Sioux Falls to their event. C’mon LifeLight, isn’t it a sin to lie?
