Thoughts from Kansas

You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain

    Palin-spastic: Why does she hate animals?

    200809150026In which I again attempt to reconstruct Sarah Palin's past positions, accounting for crustal movement.

    Here are a few reasons that Palin's friends may not vote for her:

    When asked to reveal something about Palin that no one knows, one woman offered, "She doesn't care for cats very much," and another chimed in, "Oh, yes, she's afraid of my cat."
    As Defenders of Wildlife points out, Palin has also encouraged the brutal and unsportsmanly slaughter of wolves. And she sued the federal government when the feds tried to step in and stop polar bears from going extinct.

    You mean we should google ACORN and Obama together so that will bring up all the right wing propaganda blogs who are obsessing over those two terms?

    But doesn't she like seals? Didn't she call for going after Federal money to study seals in Alaska? (I guess those would be earmarked seals.)

    The question isn't why I'm an ACORN member, but why you aren't.

    ACORN is one of the top groups working to rebuild New Orleans and to support local people who are trying to restore their communities. I've given them money to help those efforts, and similar efforts at combating poverty around the country.
