    You didn't work your way down to Alaska...
    You are going to get imPalin-ated, if you're not careful.

      When Alaska becomes a card-carrying state, I'll include it. Right now it's a forgotten province of the Yukon Territory (or perhaps Siberia). It is, however, a handy place to pick up some nice cheap North Slope oil.

        Hey, Alaska's population puts it well ahead of Bhutan, just barely ahead of Comoros and well behind Guyana. But I bet she is better looking than the heads of those states - probably shoots better too . . .

          Hey, even the cute little Island that I live on, has almost 100,000 more folks than Alaska. However, we don't have mooses , at least not live ones...
          It sounds as though Alaska is moving in that direction too.... :wink:
          By the way, I know there is no such word as mooses, and no I did not mean Moses...

            I can't wait to see what SNL is going to do with her - they are going to have a FIELD DAY!!! It'll take them several shows to to get over the Babe Factor, before they even get to the hunting and book-banning and conflict of interest stuff. I personally think she is no better or worse than any of the other 3 ticket people, but that won't mean a danged thing to the SNL writers!!!

                It all depends on what criteria you use . . .

                  I meant 'well-intentioned', but we can't say anything beyond that . . .

                        Without any effort Tina Fey already looks a LOT like Palin....I bet they have her host SNL just so she can do a whole bunch of Palin skits.

                            Yeah but all those countries would fit neatly inside Canada with room to spare.


                            Not touching the Texas remark........cos some of them are people too. :P

                              I was trying to find a similar to the same theme as yours but couldn't. There must be one out there.
