John McCain has selected Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.She's been in politics since 1992. Her husband is an oilman, he works on a rig. She has five kids. Her oldest son is 18 and in the Army. He goes to Iraq next month.
She exposed ethics violations by members of her own party which didn't do her any harm when she ran for governor in 2006. Her approval rating as the governor of Alaska frequently tops off in the low 90's.
She's pro-life, supports capital punishment, and is noted for her independence from big oil.
She hunts, ice fishes, snowmobiles, owns a float plane and is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association.
Don't cue the fat lady yet but tell her to finish that last piece of cake and put on a fresh coat of lipstick.

The float-plane alone is a vote getter! Get her in her float plane, and McCain in his fighter jet. Oh Man!
Then we get Ultra Man, and Gamera! Then Ultra Man could find Osama Bin Ladin, but since he can only spend 3 minutes in Earth's atmosphere, he can show Gamera where Bin Ladin is, most likely in a mountain cave. So since Gamera is a giant reptile, he should have no problem tearing open that cave and exposing Bin Ladin. Then John McCain can come in on his A-4 Skyhawk at Mach .8 and lay down some Nape and Snake Eye, and blow the crap out of Bin Ladin's posse. At which point, Osama will try to run away, and go hide in a nearby pond, at which point Sarah Palin flies in on her float plane, with her Army son riding shotgun, (carrying a shotgun, AND an M-60 7.62mm belt fed machine gun.) She lands on the pond, and her son drags Bin Ladin up on the pontoon, at which point she gets out, wearing her high leather boots, and proceeds to kick him in the ass, all the while saying, "Hey look, I am kicking your ass! I am literally kicking you in the ass!" At which point her boy unloads the entire belt right into the top half of his body, this being an entire belt of tracer ammo, because the tracer bullets will look really cool, since they will be taping this for a video on You Tube.
Yeah...

That is outstanding! That's funny video/Smiegel/SNL stuff Al. I'd love to see that, animated or live-action!
Ha! My nephews are getting into digital animation. (There's a sign of the times. At 14 & 10 they are doing CGI. The summer I was 14, I got a new frisbee) Maybe I can have them do it.
Re: Nape and Snake Eye. back in the day, Pikulski and me were reading this book called "Phantom over 'Nam", and the guy talked about coming in and dropping nape and snake eye, meaning napalm and plain old iron fragmentation bombs. Man, THAT would be some cool CGI!
Not sure how much of a homerun this really is. The first thing I saw about her was an interview in which she stated that she had no idea what the VP did. Lots of stuff has been dug up on this woman, and true or not - it still made it out there. She's under investigation for ethics violations, may or may not have belonged to a group advocating Alaskan secession, and only released info about her daughter to refute rumors that her 4 month old is not her grandchild. How do Republicans, the family values party, feel about an unwed pregnant teenager? The Religous Right, Rush and company would be whooping about this if it were a Democrat's child in this situation.
And just like Bush, she's a Fundamentalist Christian and believes it is God's will that we are fighting in Iraq.
Maybe you feel the last 8 years have been good for America, but I have had enough of the Republicans. Obama is nothing special but he's better than more of the same from a "maverick" who cow-tows to the party's conservative base.
Many Democrats and others leaning hard to the left seem to have become frightfully defensive following Palin's selection. Funny that a faction that ridicules conservatives when they tout family values as a virtue now find it convenient to employ the "tsk-tsk" attitude because her daughter is pregnant. What's that expression about "doth protest too much"?
In the end if you believe that George Bush is personally and singularly responsible for everything bad in our country and the world, well certainly you're entitled to that opinion but to expect ANY candidate fielded by the party to which he belongs will continue to be the "doofus" that Bush-haters perceive Bush to be has, as they say, "drunk the Kool-Aid."
Obama has a battle on his hands now and his win is anything but assured. You read it here.
I am voting for Ronald McDonald or maybe Goofy, because they are just as good or maybe better than the choices we have. It is either more of the same(McPain) or not sure(Obama).
