#1 Palin Tells Fish and Wildlife: "Polar Bears aren't endangered, they're just whiners!"

Sarah Palin, Governor of a lot of land, animals and less than 1 million people testified before the Fish and Wildlife division of the Department of the Interior that despite numerous reports from highly qualified wildlife researchers, she believes that there is no real danger to the Alaskan polar bear.

Said Palin: "I have lived in Alaska since I was an infant. I grew up with seals, caribou and polar bears and believe me, the great northern white bear is your biggest winge bag north of the equator.' The fish are too small, the ice flow isn't roomy enough,blubber ain't what it used to be!!' If you took half of the complaints of the Artic bear seriously you would think the polar ice cap was melting.

" I used to tell them when I wounded one of them on my many hunting trips that they should just suck it up and get a life or NOT!"

15% is standard, but I'd go 20% to avoid the mauling.

#10 My daughter and I have a pool going, on how soon some major media house comes forward saying that they have paid out a lot of money to get the story from some woman claiming that she had an affair with Todd Palin.
Of course, we are also betting that it will be a claim easily debunked - and a clear case of checkbook journalism and a story sounding just too good to pass up... but any day now.

#11 That's a good prediction Sgt. Mom. I've seen a couple of seemingly offhand lefty blog comments to the effect that Todd Palin is a womanizer that felt like trial ballons. Look for that to be the new meme after the "McCain made a reckless unvetted pick" meme dissipates.

#12 "Todd Palin is a womanizer....."

#13 No, those would be Democratic statesmen. See the difference?

#14 I'm sure if they dig deep enough, they can find someone in her extended family - possibly even Governor Palin herself - who is or was a practicing thespian.
And she probably has masticated in public at some time or another.
Not that there is anything wrong with either one, of course.

#15 But Rambler, what if they find someone in the family (or even Gov. Palin herself) who practices philately? In front of children?

Oh, the horror! That'll doom her for sure.

#16 If there's philately, there's probably numismatism nearby. Heavy metals, baby!
