"I venture to suggest that patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst
of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."

TODAY'S TID-BIT

Since becoming a state in 1959, Alaska is historically a "Red State" in national elections, only voting "Blue" once, in 1964.

According to the Federal Election Commission, as of 9/30/08:
  • John McCain has received $306,227 in campaign contributions from his running mate's home state of Alaska.
  • Barack Obama has received triple that, with $930,869.


Dare we suggest that Alaska's vote will be as blue as the color of its flag?

    Would Sarah accuse the majority of picking on her unfairly if Alaska turned blue? Blame it on the Liberal Media. Blame it on Satin?

    I am not quite sure that Satin has any vested interest in this election.

    Satin, like the fabric? WHY WOULD YOU BLAME A FABRIC?!?!?!

    And there is no chance the Geezer/Dingbat ticket loses Alaska.

    I completely missed the "Satin/Satan pun". That's a good one.

    Every time I come to this blog, I find something else at which to laugh.
