I wonder if she was the one that shot the bear?

"As for the Canadians, IMO it wouldn't necessarily be a question of "why bother?". Canadians and Americans really are different, red state Americans and your average Canadians anyway."

The "why bother?" was because the territory between Canada and Alaska is some of the wildest, harshest, most forbidding territory on earth. Who would want to try that? Sneaking across THAT border is unthinkable.

Russians probably emigrate here because there is only about 10 miles between Russian territory (Big Diomede Island) and the U.S. (Little Diomede Island), so it's "close to home." A regularly scheduled Aeroflot flight between here and Russia makes it closer. Most of the Russians I know of (several neighbors) appear to be naturalized. They are property owners, most of whom build their own homes. If any are illegal, they don't act like it.

"I've tried a few times to find the article via Google, with no luck. Have you ever heard of that story? "

No, can't say that I have. Sorry.

You think McPain would run for a second term? He’d be 76 when running and 81 by the end of the term.

Don't know, but I did find a picture of her with an Elk that the caption said she'd shot. Her youngest daughter was in the picture too.

[El Gato]

Thanks for the pics.

de nada.

Here she is when she posed for Vogue magazine.

Slight cutting, pasting and posting error. The first picture is of her when she won that local beauty contest. We can of course see *why* she won.

Maybe she’ll go hunt some game in Africa? =)
