Palin is the only thing on the news.

Whoopeee!!!!!

No Barack, none of the time.

As long as the Dems keep the media focused on our woman, all the better.

Keep it up, boys! The more you boys attack the girl, the worse you look.

I think the recent drop in oil prices has more to do with governor Palin than the hurricane survival of the oil industry.

“Palin knows energy. She's already figured out how to deliver energy to the U.S. without Congress — by championing state legislation to create a 1,712-mile natural gas pipeline across Canada to the U.S.”

“It was a major feat, negotiating with the Canadian government, educating lawmakers and getting the public behind her. In a decade, the $30 billion project will ship 4.5 million cubic feet of gas a day from the North Slope to Houston's air conditioners, Iowa's farm machines and Boston's winter furnaces.”

“There's little doubt this is the kind of leadership the U.S. needs”

Isn't Canada the 53rd state?

When we won WWII, it was on a river of gasoline. America was the preeminent petroleum power in the world. I’d like to see us develop coal-to-diesel, shale oil, and methane hydrate and become the world’s largest energy exporter again. Think of the jobs! Think of the effect on our GNP! Gov. Palin should champion such a vision.

Well I had a massive tree fall in my yard this summer due to a strong thunderstorm. It was an immense amount of work getting the limbs cut and dragged to the woodpile. Now I have this giant stump in my yard.

For the past six weeks, I've been hacking away at it trying to get it out of the ground. Yeah, I could call a tree company and get it pulled out for a couple hundred dollars. But I'm stubborn like that. I'd rather spend the couple hundred dollars on beer, steamers and other stuff like that.

So like I said, I've spent a good part of the summer hacking away at this stump with various garden tools.

Well, ever since McCain announced Sarah Palin as a running mate, I've been attacking the stump with renewed energy. Yesterday, I had Sarah Palin on my mind as I worked on the stump and suddenly, miraculously, the stump finally came loose and I was able to pull it out of the massive hole in the ground. I triumphantly dragged the giant stump into the woods, giving full credit to Sarah Palin.

Had McCain picked Lieberman or even Mitt Romney, my previous favorite for VP, I have no doubt that that stump would still be in the ground today.
