“She wouldn’t have articulated one coherent policy and people would just be fawning all over her,” said Andrew Halcro, a Republican turned independent, who along with Tony Knowles, a Democrat, ran against Ms. Palin for governor in 2006. “Tony and I looked at each other and it was, like, this isn’t about policy or Alaska issues, this is about people’s most basic instincts: ‘I like you, and you make me feel good.”

...and she does. I just don't think I could sit next to her on that couch yet (fearing for the loss of my arm, of course). Especially, while that Alaskan King Crab is staring at me (creepy).

Here's a nice article by the NYT (surprise!) giving you a slightly different perspective about Mrs. Palin, with some remarks from some folks who've ran against her politically. It was short too (surprise)!

"Technologies in alternative fuel options are still far off, and integratiting the infrastucture to support these new technologies will cost way more than we can afford."

Quit being stupid, guys. The solution to this problem is to do both!

If we start drilling for oil, it drops prices immediately. This is because oil commodoties is traded on a futures market. Want proof? When Bush lifted a ban on offshore drilling, oil prices dropped every single day for weeks.

If we invest heavily in alternative fuel sources right now, we'll be that much more ahead of the game in pulling ourselves away from hostile nations we buy from and we'll be more environmentally friendly. Maybe have a contest, funded by a goverment grand price, to anyone who develops a powerful, long lasting battery.

Who knows?!

But quit argueing about it on TV and on Capital Hill. We need people who just shut up and get to work. Not people who play "You're wrong" games, then go home with no other accomplishments than having vented a lot of hot air.

So the solution?

1. Drill for more oil to increase supply and drop prices immediately.

2. Increase Research and Development in alternative, green, effective fuel sources.

3. Shut up and get to work already.

Election corrupt, slandering, threatening voter, creating fake news,
all of this were done by the Barisan before the by-election.
The most serious part is,
they force the Olympic silver medal winner,
Lee Chong Wei to become their "model",
and force him to become their supporter.

Until now,
the by-election in Permatang Pauh already finished,
but the shameless BN still not finish yet.

Today is the last day of Chinese ghost festival,
which some area might have dinner banquet.
In traditional banquet of Chinese,
mostly we will have a small performance stage to let some singer to sing.
Before the singing event,
mostly there will be some simple speech.
This is where it all start.

In my area,
they invite a member of MCA to join this banquet.
The MCA member want to give some simple speech before the banquet start.
He said: (Speech in Chinese and I translate it to English.)

Malaysia original owned by Barisan National, it's belong to UMNO and MCA.
Anwar Ibrahim just a traitor in Malaysia that try to ruin the whole Malaysia.
As a voter you all should not vote him.
You should just follow the order of Barisan National,
and do everything they asked us to.
You shouldn't affected by the traitor.
You (Chinese) should continues support MCA, so that Chinese can success in one day.

The MCA member is too shameless!
They use the banquet to promote himself,
and still try to convince us to follow their "order".
Malaysia is a place for Malaysian to leave,
government is someone we Malaysian vote for.
Malaysia is not owned by BN nor UMNO nor MCA.
We did vote MCA before,
what give to us is,
corruption, removing of Chinese temple of school,
removing of democracy and our human right.

Many internet surfer already realize that we cannot support BN anymore.
Since they blocked Malaysia-Today,
they already prove that they want to make Malaysia into a communist state,
which everyone must follow BN order to keep living.
If you don't follow, they will catch you by ISA,
maybe kidnap your family and threaten you to follow their order.
They will blocked and "delete" anything they don't like.
This isn't what we want.
We want democracy, we want human right, we want our homeland.
We don't want a government that full of corruption and cheat our money.

Malaysian please wake up,
we shouldn't support those fool,
which might lead Malaysia to it end!

What an extraordinary turn of events! That crafty old fox McCain has out-changed Obama by picking Palin as his VP.

For the next few months, that whining sound you hear will be the Obama supporters responding to their upcoming defeat.

I, Your Esteemed Editor, never work on Saturdays, but today was special. I decided to show off an old drawing we did at our studio oh, maybe four or five years ago.

It was a pretty ground-breaking design when we first introduced it. Kind of Archie-meets-Anime. In fact, purple hair was a rarity in mainstream cartoons before this piece was introduced. It is a very appealing design, but the character of the girl seems to shine through in a most unsavory fashion; introducing anxiety and defensiveness in people who are subjected to it indefinitely. A sort of Bugs Bunny quality, if you will. I am a huge fan of Mr.Jones', as you all know. I admire his confidence in speech, even in the presence of those he admired. A truly capable, compassionate man he was.

And now onto more serious matters. I am sure all of you have dealt with death and sorrow at some point in your lives if you are over the age of 30. Well, I am sorry to say that there are those among us who would glorify suffering and tragedy, going so far as to uphold it as a sort of moral vice against others. I am appalled to see the treatment these people are getting from callous members of society who ought to be grateful for their contributions.

I have a friend, and a victim to such atrocities, who just gave birth to a Downs Syndrome infant as she continues her lifelong foray into the corporate World. Please. Let us pray for her, to lend her strength in this time. Surely, it is a time of being that much closer to our loved ones, and of understanding the unending emotional role which woman has in the family; how her soul life is tied in with the health, and spiritual prosperity of her every glance at those she births, and cares for.

May she be able to accept the new stresses and the tireless care-giving role which has been thrust upon her by God in order to remind us all how vital it is that we cherish our heath in each moment of each day, and never lose sight of the small ways in which we take for granted these marvels He has given us reign over in His infinite wisdom and bounteous beauty.

May the Laws of Our Nations, and of all bounty, and prosperity, guide our hands and our hearts, and grant my dear friend the courage she needs to earn for her family, when such things are God given rights.
