Let's give those goofballs in Juneau something constructive to do...let's move them up here, to Anchorage. Let's legalize gambling in Juneau and turn it into a "Las Vegas of the North." The cruise ships already go there, a captive, paying audience. Turn the Governor's Mansion into a big casino. I can't think of a better use for that house or city.

$arah $ee$ dollar $ign$
I lived in Juneau when the avalanche took out the hydroelectric towers and electric bills were quadrupled. Palin's response to those forced to unplug refrigerators, turn off the heat and wonder how they were going to be able to pay electric bills with even those drastic measures taken, was indifference.
After reading today's Alaskan Newsreader with the link to the Boston Phoenix article on $arah, Inc., it's all finally making $en$e. She was never bothered by the ethics complaints and hadn't wasted away with worry at what would happen to her politically.
When I saw the photo with the Boston Phoenix article, her motives became as clear as a picture. She has been dieting in preparation for the $arah photos soon to plaggue the nation advertising $arah $neakers and nameless other $arah brands.
She will never have to pretend to read a book again. She's free at last to be what she was always meant to be - Caribou Barbie.

Sure doesn't read like the Promised Land
The messiah, lord Barack Obama, will lead us out of the wilderness into a frontier of enlightenment where all people will pay 70 percent of their money as a tax so that all peoples will have the proper level of housing, sustenance, medical care, education and an early death to benefit all.
