Alaska VP Palin

“Dear Lord Jesus help me get out of Wasilla”

l3wis 5Comments

I asked two Alaskan friends of mine to weigh in on governor Palin, this is from the one who lives in Seward which is east of Anchorage on the Southern coast.

I’ve had so many people email asking about Sarah the Beautiful.  Unfortunately, they think she would make a great VP.  I guess they don’t care if she has any experience.   

 

She would be a great candidate if we were voting for the Queen (beauty queen).  Will Todd give up his title as 1st Dude to be the husband of a VP?  What was I thinking…Sarah has never settle for being #2…maybe we should, “Rite her in for President”.  I’d love to joke about Sarah, but I’m really too scared.  How stupid are Americans to believe that she has experience because she has been the mayor of one of the larger communities in Alaska?  Does the rest of the USA realize that she was the mayor of Wasilla…a town of about 6,000 people…a town that is referred to as “Valley Trash” since it is part of the Mat-Su valley and there is garbage everywhere.  There are bumper stickers here that say “Dear Lord Jesus help me get out of Wasilla”.  To understand the humor in this, all you have to do is try to drive through this little cluster flip of a community.  You’ve got to love her foreign policy experience of living close to Russia…wow.  That’s my 2 cents.

 

Janklow

Why did we give this guy back his Driver’s license?

Gawwwwwwwwwwd I don’t like this guy! I have always said that we should have never 1) given Janklow his law license back (anyone who commits a felony shouldn’t be allowed to practice law) and 2) should have never given his DL back. He can’t even backup his manure spreader in a parking lot correctly – and of course to him it is no big deal as usual;

“it left only a tiny mark.”

Well, Billiam, you left a mark on South Dakota, a big long brown streak across the underware of our reputation. Please go away, for the sake of all South Dakotans.

UPDATE: Imagine that? Janklow is a liar. Get out!

McCain Media

George Will slams McSame

l3wis 1Comments

Though there has been a flotilla of reporters and columnists slamming McCain’s temperment, George Will is a little different, it’s not like he is liberal pundit like Rachel Madow, George is a respected conservative journalist. This can’t bode well for the McSpain campaign.

Conservatives who insist that electing McCain is crucial usually start, and increasingly end, by saying he would make excellent judicial selections. But the more one sees of his impulsive, intensely personal reactions to people and events, the less confidence one has that he would select judges by calm reflection and clear principles, having neither patience nor aptitude for either.

Initiated Measures 10 and 11 – What do they mean?

Mitchell, SD

AFP (American Freedom Press) reporter Soney Soakies hit the street in front of the world famous Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota to see if voters knew what Measure’s 10 and 11 meant. The reactions were mixed.

Charlene Wipfers visiting Mitchell from Dimock had this to say after she was asked if she knew the definitions. “I think 10 is the one that makes it illegal for politicians from either political party to come to your door and try to gag you with their bulls**t and 11 would allow extremist crazies to come to our state, raise money from secret donors and try to pass outrageous, unconstitutional laws.”

Not quite, but Tim Tinynickel from Mt. Vernon got a little warmer then Charlene did on Measure 11.

“I think Measure 11 would make abortions illegal accept for exceptions.”

Soakies, “That’s correct! Do you know what those exceptions are?”

Tinynickel, “Strippers, cocktail waitresses and NASCAR fans?”

Karle Nassenbergerer from Huron had this to say when asked, “Ten is an even number and eleven is an odd number (chuckle).”

I think Karle had a little too much of the purple corn to eat off of the Palace.

Maybelline Longerstockings only wanted to comment on Measure 10. “I saw the TV ad recently and it seems if it passes school teachers wouldn’t be allowed to talk dirty to their husbands anymore in bed.”

We were also lucky enough to catch a first time voter, 18 year old Hunter Johnson, who plans on voting November fourth. His answer was very refreshing and he seemed to have a firm grasp of the issues. “I’m voting on 10 before 11.”

Kristal Waterhorse from Lake Andes said she didn’t plan to vote. “Doesn’t matter what I vote on 10 or 11, Whitey always wins in the end.”

Joseph VanDussenwienarschitnel seemed to be confused by the question. He answered, “McCain, Dykstra and Lien.”

We reminded him these were initiatives and not candidates and read the measures to him. He replied “I don’t even think Dykstra can have an abortion. Can he? McCain was gagged in Nam, I’m voting NO on that one.”

As you can see, there is still a learning curve out there on Measures 10 and 11, at least here in Kernel country there is.
