Sarah Palin is a Snake in the Garden

Sarah Palin - The Truth Sarah Palin is a joke....

Did she say no to the bridge to nowhere?

Flipping on the bridge. We deployed our new Flip-O-Meter to rate whether she flip-flopped about the notorious bridge in Ketchikan, Alaska. Indeed she had, we found.
The Statement:
During a campaign stop Monday, Sept. 15, in Golden, Colorado, Republican vice-presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin repeated claims that, as Alaska's governor, she fought federal funding for the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere" — a $223 million project requested by Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens to build a bridge to an island with roughly 50 residents. The plan became a symbol of government waste and was scrapped.
"That infamous Bridge to Nowhere, I did tell Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,'"Palin said in her Monday speech, repeating a line from her speech at the Republican National Convention. "If we wanted a bridge up there, we will build it ourselves."
Get the facts after the jump!

The Facts: Palin voiced support for the plan while running for governor. "I'm not going to stand in the way of progress that our congressional delegation — in the position of strength that they have right now — they're making those efforts for the state of Alaska to build up our infrastructure," Palin said during a Nov. 2, 2006 debate shortly before her election as governor, according to CNN reporting. "I would not get in the way of progress of this project or other projects they're working so hard on."
She rejected the bridge after she was elected and the project became a famous symbol of government waste. When she rejected the project as governor, Palin said objections to the project were "based on inaccurate portrayals," CNN has reported. Also, Alaska kept the federal money intended for the project, using it on other transportation projects.
Her view ..ion is?
Opposes abortion in all cases including rape and incest, except when a mother's life is in danger. Says she believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned and the decision given to the states.

Did she take out revenge on an ex family member?
An Alaska judge refused Thursday to throw out subpoenas for members of Gov. Sarah Palin's administration in the State Legislature's investigation of her firing of her public safety commissioner.Palin, now the Republican vice presidential nominee, sacked Public Service Commissioner Walt Monegan in July, citing disagreements over budget issues. But Monegan has said he believes that he was fired because he resisted pressure to fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law, State Trooper Mike Wooten.In an affidavit filed ahead of Thursday's hearing, he said he has begun to draft his report despite the refusal of several Palin aides and her husband, Todd, to comply with subpoenas issued by the state Senate Judiciary Committee.

Was she honest about Drilling in Alaska?
The scope of ANWR. We found she was exaggerating with her claim that drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge would cover only "2,000 out of 20-million acres."

And her views on Wildlife are?
"Palin (proposed) a $150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf."Palin supports "aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife."

More about her would be?

Sarah Palin endorsed a Wasilla policy that charged sexual assault victims for their "rape kits."
"The Books Sarah Palin tried to have banned."
Palin "fired Wasilla's Police Chief because he 'intimidated' her."
While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from the library some books that Sarah wanted removed.
Palin "inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22-million."
"Gov. Palin ... is somebody who actually doesn't believe that climate change is man-made."
"(Palin) supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000."

WHILE AMERICA GOSSIPS THESE THINGS ARE WHAT WE MISSED

anti-Syrian Lebanese leader was assassinated by a car bomb

a Sept. 6 air strike by eight Israeli Air Force F-15s and F-16s carrying Maverick missiles and 500-pound bombs was aimed at a North Korean shipment of nuclear materials being delivered to a Syrian installation. The attack was to prevent a “devastating surprise” Syria had allegedly been planning for Israel

Iran threatened to fire hundreds of missiles at Israeli and U.S. targets

An explosion, possibly from ordnance left over from last year's war with Israel, killed a Syrian worker and wounded four people Tuesday in a remote area in northeastern Lebanon, witnesses and security officials said. The victims were working in a field in the village of As-Sawah around 80 kilometers northwest of the city of Baalbek when one of them reportedly picked up a strange looking object

Congress sells out to NRA

In the Commerce-Justice measure, such cuts included an administration move to reduce by more than half this year's $1.2 billion budget for grants and aid to state and local law enforcement. The Senate-passed bill includes $3.8 billion in grants to state and local governments and fire departments.
The bill also carries language backed by the National Rifle Association limiting the sharing of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives data on gun manufacturers, sellers and buyers with local governments and law enforcement.
Gun control critics opted not to challenge the provision offered by Rep Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., and similar to provisions included in the ATF budget since 2003. Instead, said Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., the provision's opponents would focus on preventing tougher Senate restrictions on sharing gun trace data from making it into the final House-Senate compromise bill.

Buzzed in space
According to NASA documents obtained by the Houston Chronicle, the space agency has broad plans for changes. They include a formal code of astronaut conduct, requirements for behavioral checkups as part of annual medical examinations, and a ban on alcohol consumption at least 12 hours before launch.
The plan also calls for a more thorough collection of mental health data in the long-term tracking of astronaut health as well as a pledge to grant protection from workplace retaliation for co-workers and health care providers who report abuses.

They are strapped to a rocket filled with nitro and other flameables and shot into space pretty much with fingers crossed and less than 50% chance odds against them makin' it there and back alive while some foam and foil formed into a ship guides them around so I say let them get a buzz , by drink or drug or whatever they need to feel good about risking their life on out-dated and faulty technology all in the name of science and the space race...rock on astros...everyone else should just mind ur own biz on this issue...

Equality for gay Lutherans

The Lutheran pastor who will soon become bishop of the Metropolitan Chicago Synod is calling for his denomination to remove a celibacy requirement for gay and lesbian clergy, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Miller is hoping the change could come as early as next month in Chicago, where the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is scheduled to conduct its denominational assembly. Nearly a third of the denomination's 65 synods are asking for a policy change in clergy standards.

Upgrade!

Vermont legislative leaders Wednesday announced a commission to study if the Legislature should allow same-sex couples to marry, the Associated Press reported.

Former US Surgeon General Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, says the American people are not getting facts based on the best science on subjects ranging from stem cell science to sexual education, but rather biased reports aimed at promoting a particular political agenda.
In fact, the selective filtering of the facts on health-related topics and political interference occurred under both Democratic and Republican presidential administrations, Carmona reports.



Some critics say firms such as Blackstone that go public should be regulated like other publicly traded investment companies, such as mutual funds. The SEC has exempted Blackstone from regulation because it deemed that most of its assets are not "investment securities." That strikes some as a technicality.


The U.S. Senate was expected to take a pause in its debate on the Iraq war this week to allow Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) to offer a gay- and transgender-inclusive hate crimes bill as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.The Shepard bill would give the federal government authority to prosecute hate crimes against gays and transgender persons as well as against persons with disabilities. Existing federal law allows federal authorities to prosecute hate crimes targeting people because of their race, religion or ethnicity.

WASTED TIME ON SENSELESS ITEMS BY BUSH

Religious Freedom Day, 2007 A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

On Religious Freedom Day, we commemorate the passage of the 1786 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, authored by Thomas Jefferson, and we celebrate the First Amendment's protection of religious freedom.
Across the centuries, people have come to America seeking to worship the Almighty freely. Today, our citizens profess many different faiths, and we welcome every religion. Yet people in many countries live without the freedom to worship as they choose and some face persecution for their beliefs. My Administration is working with our friends and allies around the globe to advance common values and spread the blessings of liberty to every corner of the world. Freedom is a gift from the Almighty, written in the heart and soul of every man, woman, and child, and we must continue to promote the importance of religious freedom at home and abroad.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 16, 2007, as Religious Freedom Day. I call on all Americans to reflect on the great blessing of religious liberty, endeavor to preserve this freedom for future generations, and commemorate this day with appropriate events and activities in their schools, places of worship, neighborhoods, and homes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH
