I want to believe you're wrong, but looking at every other species on this planet, it appears diversity is ripe in the beginnings, and stamped out in the end by yourself.
Hence we end up as every other specie, millions of years evolving, waiting for the next preditor.
Thanks for playing. |

All this talk about family isn't really relevant to the fact that she raised the debt of both Wasilla and Alaska despite asking for over $35 million in earmarks as mayor alone. That and there's video and photographic evidence of her switching positions on the "Bridge to Nowhere" when politically convenient. That and the fact that her church is radical by any measure of the word. That and she was the head of Ted Stevens' (you know, the corrupt establishment guy she took on) 527 group, and appeared jointly with him in July to show "her support". That and she never gave the Alaskan National Guard one actionable order and never had any relationship with a Russian pol.
Who cares about whether her family is functional or dysfunctional? She's still a liar, and she still is not fit to run for Senate, much less the VP. |

Marcelo da Luz loves the planet and for the past two years he has been driving his solar powered car across the country. When he reached Alaska earlier this week, the admittedly off-the-wall looking car was spotted by a concerned citizen, who dialled 911 to report a UFO sighting. Alaskan police jumped into service and pulled over Marcelo for interrogation. He was not taken to a secret bunker for experimentation as the police did not take the matter any further. Surprisingly, Marcelo has pulled over seven times thanks to this saucer shaped vehicle.

Wow
Apparently, one of the reforms the Palin/McCain ticket is fighting for is to allow politicians to charge taxpayers for nights they spend at home..
| quote: | Palin Aides Defend Billing State for Time at Home
By MICHAEL LUO and LESLIE WAYNE
Responding to criticism from Democrats, campaign aides to Gov. Sarah Palin on Tuesday defended her practice of billing Alaska taxpayers for more than 300 nights she spent at home in her first year-and-a-half in office.
Ms. Palin received a “per diem” expense allowance for 312 nights she spent at her home in Wasilla, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
The $60-a-day allowance is available for state employees when traveling on official state business to cover meals and other sundry expenses. Ms. Palin’s per diems, which included some charges for partial days, totaled $17,059, from Dec. 4, 2006, when she took office, through June 30, 2008, the most recent data available, according to Sharon Leighow, a spokeswoman for the governor’s office. Ms. Palin’s salary is $125,000 a year.
Ms. Palin was able to receive the allotment while she was at home because her official “duty station” is listed as Juneau, the state capital, aides said. That allowed Ms. Palin to file for per diems while she was working out of her Anchorage office and commuting from her home about 45 miles away in Wasilla. Juneau is nearly 600 miles away.
The practice of billing for staying at home seems to be unusual. Many officials said it would not be allowed in their states, including California, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, as well as other jurisdictions. On the federal level, officials said members of Congress do not get per diem allowances for routine home visits.
“To charge the citizens of any state for home visits is somewhat beyond the pale,” said Chuck Ardo, a spokesman for Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell, a Democrat who supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the primary.
Democrats immediately seized on the revelation on Tuesday to challenge the image of fiscal discipline that Ms. Palin, the Republican running mate of Senator John McCain, has sought to convey as part of her message of bringing change to Washington. Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin have frequently cited her record in Alaska as proof of her willingness to shake things up, saying she rid the state of a personal chef in the governor’s mansion and put the state’s private jet on eBay. (The plane did not actually sell on eBay but was sold at a loss later to another buyer.)
Senator Barack Obama’s campaign circulated the Post article to reporters on Tuesday. Ms. Palin’s staff and the McCain campaign said the charges to the state were entirely appropriate under Alaska rules.
“Every action taken by Governor Palin was open and transparent,” said Maria Comella, a spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign. “It is only logical that if she is traveling for the government, that her expenses be paid for.”
Ms. Comella said that Ms. Palin’s travel expenses were “80 percent below” those of her predecessor, Frank H. Murkowski, and that she had achieved this savings by selling the state’s plane, flying coach when traveling on the state’s business and driving herself to work.
“Her actions mirrored her promise when she went into office of assuring accountability and transparency in government,” Ms. Comella said.
Ms. Comella declined, however, to release the details of Ms. Palin’s travels as governor and the per diems that she had received.
Rules for reimbursing lawmakers for official travel vary by state. New York, for example, seems to allow for the possibility of an arrangement similar to Ms. Palin’s, but Gov. David A. Paterson does not receive a per diem allowance while he is at home in Harlem because that is designated his “official station,” or his primary residence, said Errol Cockfield, a spokesman.
When he is in Albany, the capital, Mr. Paterson stays at the governor’s mansion and does not receive any allowance, Mr. Cockfield said.
Mr. Paterson technically could have designated his official station as Albany and filed for a per diem for his nights at home, but that “would raise some real questions,” said Dennis Tompkins, a spokesman for the state comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli.
The comptroller’s office scrutinizes, for example, the per diem requests filed by state legislators, said Mr. Tompkins, because their official stations are supposed to be their residences in their home districts, so they should file for allowances only when they are in Albany.
“If all of a sudden you’re collecting per diems for more than half a year, we would redesignate your official station as that place,” Mr. Tompkins said.
Members of Congress can be reimbursed for travel expenses if they return to their home states for official business, but do not get any kind of per diem when they are simply at home.
Ms. Leighow, in the governor’s office, said Ms. Palin had not received a per diem since being selected by Mr. McCain as his running mate.
