> [@Shayna](#): > > NO WAY!! I _totally_ didn’t see that coming! I’m shocked, _shocked_ I tell you. You’re shocked that a panel of good, solid Republicans whose reappointment to their cushy jobs depends on the decision of a governor with a history of vindictiveness cleared her? New here, are you? 😃 ---

No, no, the article was _very_ careful to point out that the panel was appointed by her _predecessor_. That factoid simply _must_ be relevant, and proof positive that they’re not beholden to her in the least, since their loyalty clearly must lie with the guy she ousted. Sheesh, so much for fighting ignorance 'round these parts, gosh darn it. ---

Oh man! I’m so glad they released this the day before election day! Now I can vote for Geezer/Dingbat with a clear conscience! Oh wait, I already voted. Damn. ---

My vote has changed! Instead of voting twice for Obama, I will only vote once for him. Great job, Sarah! ---

I felt a vast disturbance in the Aurora Borealis this morning, as though half a million voices cried out in pain. [She’s here](http://community.adn.com/adn/node/133941). ---

Awwww…sweetie…does it hurt? Did god shit in your wheaties after all? Looks like your witch doctor didn’t quite excise all the demons. Well, c’mon back home, cuz we’ve been havin’ just a peck of trouble dealin’ with the Rooshans and those durned Cana-deeans in your absence. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Ah, well as long as comic book characters and other fictional works make it a positive term, then all the world is right. “Rogue cop” is, on the other hand, a real-life situation. But we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Howdy. Reviving this thread to let Chefguy know that Sarah Palin, who said Walter Monegan had “gone rogue,” has titled her memoirs _Going Rogue_. Does this have any affect on your perception of the word _rogue_ now? ---
