Sarah Palin not falling off face of the earth, pursued by talent agencies (Damn.)

For anyone who is still questioning whether or not Sarah Palin is really Trig’s mother, you can put your questions to rest. Her doctor has released a letter clearing up this issue once and for all:

“To the people desiring information about Sarah Palin’s health:
Regarding information regarding her pregnancy earlier this year if you were to take the extra step and ask for information regarding that pregnancy you would have got it. I mean everyday that information is out there for anyone who desires to see it. All of the sudden these events in my- I mean Sarah’s- life is out there for the world to speculate when she is just trying to bring change to the corruption that is so prominent in Washington and trying to rid the world of terrorism and those who are hell-bent on destroying us and those who don’t see the exceptionalism of America. Sincerely, Sarah’s doctor.”

#87, yeah I know!! That’s fucking scary. This woman is psycho!!

You need to learn how to practice logic and critical thinking and quit repeating lies.

Walt Monegan, Alaska’s former Commissioner of Public Safety, alleges that Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, her husband, and officials in her administration repeatedly tried to pressure him into firing state trooper Mike Wooten, who had gone through a bitter divorce and custody battle with Palin’s sister. [1,2]
According to Monegan the Palins wanted Wooten investigated. Monegan assured the Palins that he would do so and “found that the allegations had already been investigated with an internal trooper investigation in 2005. All but two — an illegal moose killing and a tasering of an 11-year-old — were found to be unsubstantiated. Wooten was disciplined.” Monegan did not fire Wooten; Governor Palin subsequently fired Monegan in mid-July, 2008. [1]

================================================

The Bridge to Nowhere was basically for 30 rich people that lived on an island and did not want to take the ferry like everyone else.

Did Palin Really Fight The “Bridge To Nowhere”?
Republicans have been heavily touting Sarah Palin’s reformist credentials, with her supposed opposition to Alaska’s “Bridge to Nowhere” as Exhibit A. But how hard did she really fight the project? Not very, it seems. Here’s what she told the Anchorage Daily News on October 22, 2006, during the race for the governor’s seat (via Nexis):
5. Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?
Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now–while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.
So she was very much for the bridge and insisted that Alaska had to act quickly–the party of Ted Stevens and Don Young might soon lose its majority, after all. By that point, the project was endangered for reasons that had nothing to do with Palin–the bridge had become a national laughingstock, Congress had stripped away the offending earmark, shifting the money back to the state’s general fund, and future federal support seemed unlikely. True, after Palin was sworn into office that fall, her first budget didn’t allocate any money for the bridge. But when the Daily News asked on December 16, 2006, if she now opposed the project, Palin demurred and said she was just trying to figure out where the bridge fit on the state’s list of transportation priorities, given the lack of support from Congress. Finally, on September 19, 2007, she decided to redirect funds away from the project altogether with this sorry-sounding statement:
“Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer,” said Governor Palin. “Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island,” Governor Palin added. “Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened.”

#35 Right On!!!!!

By the way assholes, the Palin rape kit thing was a total misrepresentation of an old quote used by USA Today and picked up by other biased assholes at the Huffington post. In fact it had little to do with Palin at all.

Former Alaskan Gov. Tony Knowles (DEMOCRAT) was planning to sign legislation that would FORCE local police dept.’s in Alaska to pay for rape kits out of their budgets, the chief of the Wasilla Police Dept. was against taking tax-payer funds out of the budget and when possible, would instead bill the criminal through his insurance. Palin supported that idea. It would save Wasilla the tax burden. It didn’t DENY any woman a rape kit. The VICTIM WOULD NEVER AND WAS NEVER CHARGED FOR A RAPE KIT.

When Knowles was stumping for Obama, he decided to use this as a attack of Palin’s ethics. Saying how she fired the original chief because they disagreed on Knowles rape-kit issue. That was completely untrue. The former chief was fired because of he was not enforcing certain laws which as a public official is an obstruction of justice.

In fact, go figure, on November 4th, after it was dragged through the media at length and with such volume, that Palin was firing officials she didn’t agree with, the court found that the termination of the chief was completely justified.

Give yourselves a fucking treat for learning something today. The reason I don’t want you liberals in power is you have no fucking clue of what you’re doing, you want to reach for a Utopian global society which is as unrealistic as the blogs and newspapers and Chomsky wannabe’s ideology.

furthermore, I’m convinced most of you assholes, blindly loyal to Obamination, probably don’t know shit about anything he represents. You see Tina Fey portray Palin as a doofus and you hear Jon Stewart rip and ridicule the GOP on everything and take it as fact. Fucking idiocy.

A book deal, eh?

I’m betting it’ll be written using crayons. And not the little crayons, either.

To all the ignorant liberals ( 88 & 100). There is no stem cell research ban, you fucking idiots. Bush didn’t ban stem cell research. There is plenty going on in this country. The U.S. Government just isn’t funding it. Like much of the medical research in this country, it is privately funded. But go ahead and spew your uninformed bullshit onto the internet, let everyone know how fucking ignorant you are. Your hatred is based on lies and misunderstanding.

The idea of Sarah Palin as America’s vice president amused but mostly horrified me. It was unbelievable that the media did not press her on her Evangelical beliefs more after she was announced as the Vice Presidential candidate. Didn’t anyone care that she was an anti-abortion creationist? I guess education and intelligence take a back-seat to ambition and confidence when it comes to leadership qualities for “the base” in the Republican party.

If there’s a place for Mahr on television then there’s room for Sarah. if the airwaves can handle Chris Matthews, then bring on Sarah…she’s going to waste in Alaska!!!!

So much for the criticism that Obama was a superficial celebrity on a par with Paris and Britney.

“We know books by conservatively-centered politicos usually sell very, very well.”
What about books by conservative-centered politicos who come across like they’ve never read one? How well do those sell?

“If she plays a game and looks foolish, if she sounds like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about – like saying Africa is a country – she may talk herself out of a political job.”

Well, since she’s already done that, isn’t this a moot point?

Don’t forget Cezar Capone Productions:

@ 100 – Hooray for stem cells! I guess we’re light years behind South Korea on them now, but maybe we can start to catch up.

@ 101 – Regarding the information regarding Palins doctor information, I was wondering what the source was for that information regarding that. Palins daughter is still knocked up by a sasquatch though, isn’t she?

@ 104 – You gave a shout-out to yourself?

@ 107 – Seems like scientists are very excited about possibly getting past these non-existent bans.
>>Even the president’s own director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, told the Senate that, due to Bush administration policy, scientists in the United States were trying to do their work “with one hand behind our backs.”

Funny satire based on an actual statement from first lady (linked in satire).
http://www.whitehouse.org/firstlady/science.asp

For all those talking about the security codes….You should all think for a moment. Based on Obama’s association with William Ayers alone he is not qualified for any, ANY sort of government clearance, let alone anything that is classified. Yet you made him our President elect. He can’t even qualify to be his own body guard and he will now know all the secrets of our country. I suppose we will see what CHANGE really means.

#113

You need to take a debating course. The bottom line is Obama was guilty by association. Obama has an enormous challenge of trying to fix 8 years of the Bush Administration mess. Obama cannot fix the Bush Administration mess in one term.

There has been a sudden spate of blog items and newspaper articles, mainly in the British press, linking Barack Obama to a former member of the radical Weather Underground Organization that claimed responsibility for a dozen bombings between 1970 and 1974. The former Weatherman, William Ayers, now holds the position of distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago and was never convicted of any crime.

Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported here. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.

I do not need to swear to make a point, but you are ignorant about President Bush ban on stem cell research, so please read the following slowly and carefully.

The Senate voted on July 19 to remove restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, only for Mr Bush to veto the legislation the following day. Mr Obama, by contrast, has supported stem cell research in an effort to find cures for diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Barack Obama, the US president-elect, will use executive powers to reverse his predecessor’s policies on stem cell research and oil exploration in national parks, a senior aide has indicated.

Go President Obama!

You misguided ignorant ultra right winger. I do not need to use ignorant swear words like you because I actually have valid statements. Perhaps you can learn the truth today.

Before Palin came to City Hall and became Mayor, the Wasilla Police Department paid for rape kits out of a fund for miscellaneous costs, according to the police chief. That budget line was cut by more than half during Palin’s tenure. Palin always looked over the budget and never raised concern over females paying for their rape kits. The Wasilla Police Department would try to get the money for the rape kits from the rape victims insurance company which most did not cover.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s hometown required women to pay for their own rape examinations while she was mayor, a practice her police chief fought to keep as late as 2000.
A former Alaskan lawmaker says it seems unlikely that Gov. Sarah Palin was unaware of Wasilla’s policy.

Former state Rep. Eric Croft, a Democrat, sponsored a state law requiring cities to provide the examinations free of charge to victims. He said the only ongoing resistance he met was from Wasilla, where Palin was mayor from 1996 to 2002.
“It was one of those things everyone could agree on except Wasilla,” Croft told CNN. “We couldn’t convince the chief of police to stop charging them.”
Alaska’s Legislature in 2000 banned the practice of charging women for rape exam kits — which experts said could cost up to $1,000.
Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, often talks about her experience running Wasilla, population approximately 7,000, and that has prompted close scrutiny of her record there. Wasilla’s practice of charging victims for their rape exams while she was mayor has gotten wide circulation on the Internet and in the mainstream media. Watch CNN’s Jessica Yellin check the facts in Wasilla »
Some supporters of Palin say they believe she had no knowledge of the practice. But critics call it “outrageous” and question Palin’s commitment to helping women who are the victims of violence.
For years, Alaska has had the worst record of any state in rape and in murder of women by men. The rape rate in Alaska is 2.5 times the national average.
Interviews and a review of records turned up no evidence that Palin knew that rape victims were being charged in her town. But Croft, the former state representative who sponsored the law changing the practice, says it seems unlikely Palin was not aware of the issue.
“I find it hard to believe that for six months a small town, a police chief, would lead the fight against a statewide piece of legislation receiving unanimous support and the mayor not know about it,” Croft said.
During the time Palin was mayor of Wasilla, her city was not the only one in Alaska charging rape victims. Experts testified before the Legislature that in a handful of small cities across Alaska, law enforcement agencies were charging victims or their insurance “more than sporadically.”
One woman who wrote in support of the legislation says she was charged for her rape exam by a police department in the city of Juneau, which is hundreds of miles from Wasilla.
But Wasilla stood out. Tara Henry, a forensic nurse who has been treating rape victims across Alaska for the last 12 years, told CNN that opposition to Croft’s bill from Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon was memorable.
“Several municipal law enforcement agencies in the state did have trouble budgeting and paying for the evidence collection for sexual assault victims,” Henry said. “What I recall is that the chief of police in the Wasilla police department seemed to be the most vocal about how it was going to affect their budget.”
Croft has a similar memory. He said victims’ advocates suggested he introduce legislation as a way to shame cities into changing their practice, and Wasilla resisted.
“I remember they had continued opposition,” Croft said. “It was eight years ago now, but they were sort of unrepentant that they thought the taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for that.”
He does not recall discussing the issue with then-Mayor Palin.
The bill, HB270, was before the legislature for six months. In testimony, one expert called the practice of billing the victim “incomprehensible.” Others compared it to “dusting for fingerprints” after a burglary, only “the victim’s body is the crime scene.”
During a rape exam, the victim removes her clothing and a medical professional gathers DNA evidence from her body. There is also a medical component to assess her injuries. That component has led some law enforcement agencies to balk at paying.
Henry, the forensic nurse, said charging victims “retraumatizes them.”
“Asking them to pay for something law enforcement needs in order to investigate their case, it’s almost like blaming them for getting sexually assaulted,” she said.
The Alaska Legislature agreed. The bill passed unanimously with the support of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, the Alaska Peace Officers Association and more than two dozen co-sponsors.
After it became law, Wasilla’s police chief told the local paper, The Frontiersman, that it would cost the city $5,000 to $14,000 a year — money that he’d have to find.
“In the past, we’ve charged the cost of the exams to the victim’s insurance company when possible,” Fannon was quoted as saying. “I just don’t want to see any more burden on the taxpayer.”
He suggested the criminals should pay as restitution if and when they’re convicted. Repeated attempts to reach Fannon for comment were unsuccessful.

That was for restrictions on funding and Embryonic stem cell use, dumbass. There are plenty of lines being researched . It is irrelevant anyway. In a few years they will be able to make stem cells from anywhere, Idiot.
Scientists explore new source of stem cells

Using the testicular cells of adult men, researchers have grown muscle, nerve and other kinds of tissue.

By Karen Kaplan
October 09, 2008

Scientists have converted cells from human testes into stem cells that grew into muscle, nerve cells and other kinds of tissue, according to a study published Wednesday in the online edition of Nature.

The stem cells offer another potential alternative to embryonic stem cells for researchers who aim to treat diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson’s by replacing damaged or malfunctioning cells with custom-grown replacements. Scientists have also derived flexible adult stem cells from skin, amniotic fluid and menstrual blood.

#114….It was not written in debate style because there is no course for a rebuttal. I was in the military and was not allowed security clearance above a certain level because I had admittedly smoked pot (twice) previous to military service. That alone disqualified me. So, once again, his associations would disqualify him. I am not argueing what Ayers did or did not do, or what he has done since. Just the facts man, Ayers was not charged because of legality issues, even though he admitted guilt to his charge. So simply, there is no need for debate….and in my younger years I was known as the “MasterDebator”, then I was dethroned after realizing that some people can argue the sky is green because there are always idiots who can be talked into believing anything. Anyway, sorry for making my point so simple and not expanding on relevant truth. Not sure if you could call that “dumbing it down for the masses” or just “over the head of the uneducated”.

#117

Once again a right winger chooses to use profanity to make an inaccurate point. Cells taken from men’s testicles only benefit MEN.

Cells taken from men’s testicles seem as versatile as the stem cells derived from embryos, researchers reported Wednesday in what may be yet another new approach in a burgeoning scientific field.

The new type of stem cells could be useful for growing personalized replacement tissues, according to a study in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. But because of their source, their highest promise would apply to only half the world’s population: MEN.

The restrictions for embryonic stem cell research that Bush made based on his executive orders stifled the research for years in an effort to find cures for diseases such as Alzheimer’s. You may think that embryonic research is irrelevant, but US scientists know better, but this is because of your ignorance.

There is no “abortion” required to obtain embryonic stem cells. The cells are retrieved from unused frozen embryos at fertility clinics that would otherwise be thrown away. They would never have been implanted in a woman’s uterus and brought to term.

#118

President Bush and President Obama both did coke and pot and are still able to become president of the USA. I think the military was too harsh on you for smoking pot. I have a top secret security clearance and I admitted to smoking pot throughout my college years during my lie detector test. My smoking pot was not a concern as a lot of people have experimented with pot. The bottom line is both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002 and Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001. These facts prove Obama is not a terrorist threat to the USA. Right now I am typing this using my laptop in a non secure area at work.

Gore, you ignorant slut.

Your attempt to counter me is with an article that had already been proven to be full of misinformation. Isn’t that always the way?

Yeah, I’m gonna use profanity. I’ve decided calling lily white liberals what they are is easier to get their attention. You got a problem with that asshole? Sure you do. Asshole.

#121

Oh well another ignorant person that uses profanity because he has nothing meaningful or important to say.

Hey Prof, fuck you I said plenty. What did I hurt your internet feelings? Man up asshole.

#123

You sound like an ignorant angry man that needs to take anger management classes. Good luck with your anger issues.

I don’t care if they give Sarah Palin her own steer and distinction of collectible figurines. Just as long as she’s nowhere nearby the nucular codes and I have to watch a press conference where \”Cross my heart, I’m just your regular Joe Six-Pack who thought Italy was a moose when I fired those doggone missiles..
