The state of Alaska will have to pay for that, since it’s part of an official investigation.
She did fly back to Alaska, though, in September on the campaign charter jet.
Was she working on official campaign business for that trip?
She’s dropping the puck at the Blues game tonight. No word yet on whether she got booed; the announcers are pushing the United Way.
And, eleanorigby, this is a new high of always-highs in respect that I have for you. Well said.
$3,300? Shit, I’d love to go on television and tell the McCain campaign "If you knuckleheads agree to just shut the hell up about this, I’ll pay for the goddamn flight.
In response to this, the Obama campaign has a special page set up to donate money in honor of 'Bama’s gramma: http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/EightDollarsSixtyCents
For the sake of accuracy, that page isn’t set up by the campaign, but by a supporter. One of the reasons the campaign has been so successful at fundraising, is that they’ve given ordinary people the opportunity to set up their own fundraising campaigns to encourage people to donate through them. I have one, too. Theirs is genius, though. Look how much they’ve raised towards their goal!
If they are, it didn’t work in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. I phoned my neighbor and she was sort of able to hear him speechifyin’ at the Mayfair rally there.
They may only be using it at certain events. I unfortuately can’t find the news piece where I read that now, to see if it had more details.
My dad just got home. I haven’t been at my parents house in awhile, and every time I do, he seems to get a little “weirder.” It also happens that he listens to Michael Savage all day.
“Obama might be an illegal. Everyone is saying that he went to Hawaii to take care of it. Why else would he leave his wife and kids?”
My mom is a teacher in elementary school. Today one of her kids told her that “it says in the Bible that if Obama gets elected, the end of the world will come.”
A few days back another little boy told her that “if Obama gets elected, blacks will declare war on whites and take over the country.”
Freepers are only people in small towns that have computers. Yes, I’m amazed that North Carolina might turn blue. Truly amazed.
How do you respond to that as a teacher? I mean, you can’t tell the kid his religion is wrong, or appear to be instilling your own political views, so you can’t tell him he’s wrong. What did she say?
<blushes. Digs toe in the rug> I admire your posts, too. 
It was heartfelt. I am sick over the way this country has conducted itself “at home” and “in public”. We all need to grow the fuck up and become the change we want to see in the world.
Zebra-OMG. :eek: This world makes me tired.
Well, that’s the evil Dems wreaking havoc and making life difficult for poor, innocent GOPers like her, who only want no transparency or scrutiny of their actions while they’re in power. So, her mission is a noble one–to not bow her bloodied head whilst the savages er, savage her. IOW, martyr to The Cause.
Make your own fun, but don’t come to me when you’re nauseated, befuddled and confused… that’s what girls get for a night of slumming. 
I’d ask the kid to find me where it says that in the Bible, but that’s just me.
His parents probably penciled it in.
She says she said something along the lines of “that’s not possible yadda yadda,” but I didn’t ask her specifically. It was a sort of throw-away story about stuff that’s been happening lately. Stuff like that comes up often.
Leviticus. Most of the crazy shit is in Leviticus.
What, like the rape kits in Wasilla?
I’d say crayon is more likely.
