Experienced New York Times Alaska hand William Yardley has an intriguing dispatch from Wasilla in this morning's newspaper. He writes about the Palin family's relationship to the small town where Sarah Palin got her start as mayor, and draws a mixed portrait: Palin is frequently on the road and isn't seen around town the way she used to be, but her husband Todd also tells the reporter that his family doesn't intend to move anywhere: "Where else would we go? Alaska is our home."
One of the more interesting nuggets is midway through the article:
Even the most concrete new development in the Palin family, an enormous structure rising beside their existing 3,400-square-foot house on Lucile Lake, is something of a mystery. Based on the limited evidence in the planning department at Wasilla City Hall (the city does not require building permits), the building's footprint alone is 6,000 square feet, but much of it is two stories. Various sources have said the project includes a television studio (Fox News, [Sarah Palin's father Chuck] Heath said), apartments for Mr. Palin or the Palins' older children (Bristol Palin, 19, has said, however, that she is living on her own with Tripp and paying her own bills with the help of handsome speaking fees) and a well-appointed office for Ms. Palin.

Family compounds aren't mutually exclusive with political ambition, but if one were intending to run for president, building a compound like this hours away from the nation's political center would be a strange move.

She’s building the real Western White House. LOL!
Maybe she is trying to keep up with the Gores?
Also a big game rifle, remote controlled to take out the occasional moose (the one that bit my sister) and bear for a BBQ,
close friends and associates get to aim and fire from their lower 49 locations....
I hope they don’t find out it’s a super secret star base for her UFO.
Apropos of nothing... remember the scene in “Patton” where George C. Scott is giving a history lesson and tour of Malta, and then in a side exchange with a member of his staff, asks rhetorically, “What in God’s name am I doing here?” Meanwhile, the German high command was portrayed as being obsessed with Patton’s movements and distracted from the preparations for the cross-channel invasion. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Well, we all know Sarah is dumber than a box of rocks, barely able to tie her shoes, and a complete failure as a woman. So whatever she is building is incomprehensibly shortsighted and stupid and crazy. Furthermore, we don’t care what she does, she is so ugly and stupid, so this will be the twentieth article printed today about her utter failure.
bump
I don’t care what she is building.
As a life-long conservative, I wish she would think before running her mouth.
Palin claims to be a conservative but endorses long time moderate/progressive icon McCain over conservative JD Hayworth.
A Palin endorsement doesn’t carry much weight with me.
What about Michelle Bachmann or Doug Hoffman?
You, like many others, seem to obsess on her endorsements, however.
I think a lot of FReepers obsess over her endowments. And her legs.
YOU BETCHA!
Living rent-free in their heads...also true of the many Palin bashers on FR.
I understand your frustration but Palin wouldn’t have been a VP candidate if not for Mccain and I think she is showing loyalty to her relationship with Mccain. It’s not right but I will take this over the many leftist relationship’s Hillary Clinton is involved in and what she does for loyalty. Palin can reach an independent demographic that otherwise might be watching alphabet news nightly sleepwalking daily right in the direction of a cliff where B Hussein Obama would like American Soccer mom’s... That’s just my opinion and I respect yours completely.
