I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
RE: CTHusky - I'm a long-term Alaska resident and have met/know the Palin family personally... so, I can speak from first-hand knowledge. Criticism of Sarah Palin doesn't stem from her gender, but from her actions. One of our State's most ''astute'' politicians [Ted Stevens] was recently convicted of seven felony charges. Astute should not be ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
To ALL: The New York Times recently came out with a very accurate article on Sarah Palin's political practices which MSN news also later carried. The links for both MSN and the NYT are:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26691018/ ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
oxboggle: I suspect that Sarah Palin is driven by an overwhelming compulsion to excel, probably conditioned into her early on by her father Charles Heath, a track coach. First athletics... then beauty contests... and now politics... she has to be on top and winning is everything. At some point, for her, the End began to justify the Means... with ...

Re: Another Alaskan's opinion

Her tenure, both as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska, could be best described as... ''SHE, WHO MUST BE OBEYED!''. Absolute control is everything.''Compromise'' was a dirty word ...
