Skinny G for VP ?

This is going to be a fun year. We’ll have a new president.

At this point (and yes it’s very early still) it appears that no candidate is either all that innovative or exciting. However, it also appears that unless something crazy happens our new president will be less arrogant and more responsive that the current administration.

That’s me being polite.

One exciting thing is that our own governor: Sarah "Skinny White Chocolate Latte Gets It All Over Town" Palin (aka "Skinny G") has been mentioned as a possible running-mate to the eventual Republican candidate.


The thinking is this: Republicans have an image of being old, male, and corrupt. Skinny G is young, female, and is so ethical that the Alaska Republican party disowns her at every opportunity (because she’s called them out on their corruption).

Plus, in comparison to all the other Republican candidates, she’s smokin’ hot.
Everyone but Romney is pretty ugly and Romney seems a little plastic.

A lot of folks see Mitt Romney and think “Big Love”

but I see him and think “Nip/Tuck.”





And if Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, how better to undercut her femininity than to provide your own female – but younger, prettier, and with less scent of corruption?



I’m not a Republican but I voted for Skinny G with great enthusiasm. I’d likely do it again in a Presidential election.

On the other hand, if it comes down to Clinton vs Guiliani or Clinton vs Huckabee, I'm going be hard pressed who to vote *against*. Obama is an interesting candidate and I'd vote for him but we'll see if he can pull off the rest of the primaries.

I think I'd actually become a campaign volunteer if I was offered the bold bipartisan ticket of Edwards/Palin.

Johnny E and Skinny G.

Has a nice ring to it, don't it?

Skinny G's cleaning house


Newly elected governor Sarah "Skinny White Chocolate Latte Gets It All Over Town" Palin (aka "Skinny G") has started the process of cleaning up government in the Great State of Alaska.

"How?" you might ask, "with a Dyson?"

No, no, you sexist pig. Our first woman governor is using a high-tech method which has nothing to do with suction: eBay.

Our previous governor (who we thought too little of to give a nickname – or at least a polite one) bought himself a Westwind II jet with taxpayer money. Okay, technically he bought the state a jet, but taxpayers were outraged. There were several reasons why the jet was a bad idea but by far the biggest was that the people made it clear that they opposed it. Being chief executive, the former (as in former by a humiliating defeat in the primary) governor ignored public opinion and arrogantly bought the jet. I think he also mentioned something about taxpayers eating cake.

One of Skinny G's campaign promises was that she would never set foot on the jet. Today she ordered the immediate listing of the jet on eBay (see KTUU story). The State bought it for $2.7 million but it's used now so I'm sure you could get a deal.

So let's give Skinny G some credit for fulfilling a promise. And let's hope this trend of listening to public opinion continues, as least with regard to expensive executive perks.
