Bingo.

Driving 2400 miles at an average speed of 60 miles/hour would take about 40 hours, total.

Divide those 40 total hours by five days, and you get an average drive time per day of eight hours.

Oh, I get it, she said “non-stop” right? Are you serious? Hyperbole: this is an exaggeration, a figure of speech used to provide emphasis, to make something stand out and NOT meant to be taken seriously

It rained cats and dogs! ...the shot heard round the world. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. She’s built like a brick ....house [giving away my age here :) ] He’s got arms like a tank. I was so scared, I ran 100 miles an hour getting away!

You must really dislike Bristol Palin!

Has nothing to do with Bristol Palin - I said the writer was full of it - and hyperbole doesn't belong in reporting.

They don’t have a problem with voters helping decide who wins Idol, but they somehow have a problem with voters helping decide who wins DWTS? A tad inconsistent I think.

Not at all. Liberal theology demands that the only valid vote is a liberal vote. Other votes are based on bigotry, ignorance, fear, hate, or maybe at best, broken equipment. I'm sure the show will address the obvious discrepancy by asking Bristol voters to dial a different number and punch in the 39-digit confirmation code displayed on the TV for 3 seconds. Non-Bristol voters can press "1" or "2" on their touch-tone phone and be done with it.

She was quoted as saying that she made the trip non-stop.

LOL! The Alaska Marine Highway System doesn’t exactly run like the Kingston Ferry. So let’s see...Whittier to Yakutat, Yakutat to Ketchican, Ketchikan to Bellingham (they haven’t gone to Seattle for years)...and then you drove the distance from New York City to New Orleans. IF the schedules lined up, and IF you could get a reservation, it’d be faster to walk.

I’m kind of wondering that too. Driving from Anchorage to LA is about 3400 miles, not 2400.

And I know from experience you cannot average 60mph on the Alaskan and Canadian roads coming down from there.

Please. She should not be there at this point...

What?...turn it over to the professionals that are left?

You think Emmitt Smith was the best dancer when he won it all?

As an Alaskan who has made the trip more than once (the first time took 8 days, but the road was gravel then), I would suggest driving to Alaska, to find out for yourself. I believe the highway is paved all the way, now. There are roadhouses, motels, restaurants, gas stations all the way. Just make sure to get your passport first.

ABC is flamingly liberal. Bristol was invited there because the netword wanted to HUMILIATE her. ABC is fully capable of blocking call-in voting lines, so there THAT part goes. Also, the judges artificially pump up the other contestant’s scores. The second time Jennifer Grey mentioned Swaze, she shold have been DOCKED points. (Also, she has - like I previously mentioned - dancing experience -SIGNIFICANT dancing experience - she’s a “ringer”). The young Disney kid is, at least classy, although as a trained actor, HE ALSO has dancing experience. That kid, at least, can dance.
