Well, when someone said that the GOP governor of Alaska is sharp as a tack, and a babe, I just had to take a look – and correct on both counts:
Challenges lie ahead, but let’s look back at the last year and at some accomplishments. In Education, we are shaping a three-year funding plan to finally shift the school debate from perpetual “money talk” to accountability and achievement! We are focusing on foundational skills needed in the “real-world” workplace and in college. In Natural Resources, we’ve opened arms to welcome development – but only responsibly, or not at all. Thanks to those abundant resources we will be able to provide for the urgent needs of our citizens. In Revenue, Alaskans ushered in a new era of stability with ACES, our new oil and gas appraisal system. It will provide protection even when oil prices aren’t as high as they are now. Ronald Reagan warned, “Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.” I agree and that’s why we must save our surplus. My administration is proposing $7 billion dollars into the Permanent Fund, Constitutional Budget Reserve, the Education Fund and PERS/TRS debt relief. In Fish and Game, we are managing our fisheries based on science, not special interests. Alaska’s predator control program is showing results with greater wildlife populations so more Alaskans can hunt and feed their families the world’s healthiest, cleanest protein on God’s green earth. In Environmental Conservation, our Climate Change Sub-Cabinet has begun working on ways to adapt to impacts and we’re implementing the voter-mandated Ocean Rangers program. In Administration, we redesigned technology for government efficiency and transparency, including our nearly-complete online checkbook, showing Alaskans where their money is spent.
A lot of this relates, of course, to Alaska issues, but the Reaganism is loud and clear, and not just in the wonderful Reagan quote; free markets, free people, responsible stewardship. As for the “babe” judgement – picture available here.
McCain could do far worse in his Veep selection.

No DP, it is the Left [and McCain] that is obsessed with their Islamophobia. How can one reach out to the world by constantly distancing from the use of a middle name that is honored by Muslims the world over? Sharia and Mohammad don’t approve of cartoons or speech that dishonor Mohammed. How racist and insensitive to the Religion of Peace. And to the father and grandfather. No wonder the world is in such turmoil with liberal Democrats making such comments about a wonderful Muslim name.
Really SEW who cares? The people who are scared of Barack Hussein Obama wouldn’t vote for him if his name was Earl Martin. The people who want real change in America which means all you little right wing snits still get to participate and share in the booty of prosperity like you did during the Clinton boom years don’t care what his name is or what his parentage is. the don’t want to have abeer with him and then suffer by sacrificing their sons and daughters to a pointless war when the real enemy was in Afghanistan and pakistan. The want results and with either of the Democratic candidates I feel America will get more results.
And another thing that crucifix in urine pissed off every Catholic in America just like Himeytown coming from the lips of Jesse Jackson frosted my butt if for no other reason the amount of largesse from the Jewish ciommunity in NYC Rev Jackson enjoyed.
So don’t tell me about how thin skinned Muslims are i can post something on my site that will send you into a ranting post Crusade tirade abut how “anti-Christian” our site is. When, in reality our site is anti hypocrite and anti whining ass.
What would you babies have done in Rome when they were feeding you guys to the lions?
“No DP, it is the Left [and McCain] that is obsessed with their Islamophobia.”
SEW, if it is the ‘Left’ that is so obsessed why do YOU keep bringing it up every waking moment? Projecting maybe?
I love to see you libs crawl in the hole you dug and can’t get out of. And you just keep digging deeper, and find it even more difficult to crawl out. Awesome fun.
Just remember the Danish cartoons! And place yourself in the center. Poetic.
For example Fred. Hook, line and sinker, dug his own hole and can’t climb out. So here is his response.
“The people who are scared of Barack Hussein Obama wouldn’t vote for him if his name was Earl Martin.

Hilarious. Thanks Fred!
WTF cares that ‘Hussein’ is Obama’s middle name? I don’t think it matters at all!
Do we forget that the Bush family were VERY GOOD friends with King Hussein of Jordan? I, personally, don’t care in the least what someone’s name is! It’s the attempt to SMEAR Obama based on his name which is despicable!
It’s also stupid to imply that Obama doesn’t say the pledge of allegiance based on one photo of him standing with hands folded during the National Anthem. He was taught to put his hand over his heart for the pledge, but to stand for the National Anthem.
Remember, George Bush doesn’t even put his hand over his heart for the PLEDGE!!!!
But I think that McCain will choose Pawlenty and Obama will choose Webb. That’s my guess and I think both are strong tickets. . .
I think McCain will choose
What? I say something funny?
Deranged?
