Palin was a disaster from the get-go. Name me one serious person who cannot name one magazine or newspaper they read regularly... Palin was the author of her own misfortune. She will be known as the Monster which McCain created... much like Frankenstein...
Back to Alaska she goes....Hooray !
I'm in kuwait and couldn't wait until this whole thing concluded. U betha j.mccain can still be a maverick in his hometown. Now, (blink) Palin can pale around with Russia & Alaska.
Hey "kq wait",
Tell me how it goes when another country invades!
I'm sure the "BIG O" will protect you.
U betcha! Wink! Wink! Wink!
Get ready and don't squawk when there's no help coming.

Palin embodies all that is wrong with the Republican party. The country clearly rejected anything that smells like Bush or will remind them of 8 years of the most disastrous self-serving, country-dividing periods in our nations history. Dems can only hope she's the 2012 pick so they can administer another whoopin'.
I am glad people rejected this clown soundly. We have 8 years with one clown. We have had it...
Palin had missteps, mostly those of a national media novice. But the media played those unwilling to consider her very significant accomplishments including her profound success governing. And they bought it. Examining facts and asking oneself what they are and are not reading can serve the average American well.
Anyone consider that the VP-elect Biden referred to the wrong Article of the Constitution when discussing the Executive branch? Maybe he should go back to Katie's restaurant. Oh, yeah, that closed over ten years ago. in the 57th state of America.
Let's see how "the one" and "only" Mr O deals with his first big foreign policy issue: how to deport his own aunt.
And just think of the inclusion for the rest of us: we get to be lumped with trial lawyers, union members, and government workers.
We shall see how the guy with the thin resume deals with the bigger issues and what is in store....

Palin is an incredibly intlligent nad acomplished woman. McCain would have lost by double digits without her on the ticket.
No one who seriously looks at her record would doubt that she was ready for the job.
It's beyond funny that her opponents never cite her ideas or record.
Every authentic conservative loves Governor Sarah Palin. Unfortunately for Senator John McCain, most Americans are not conservatives.
palin was a huge boost for the ticket; the lamestream media hated her...she never had a real chance to shine
The outcome is both the fault of the McCainnites and Governor Palin herself. The former tried to protect her from talking with a tough, but fair, old newsman like Bob Schieffer on his Sunday morning show like she was a brainless ninny, and the latter for allowing them to do it to her like she WAS a brainless ninny instead of the elected governor of the largest-sized state in the union, for heaven's sakes.
How can she possibly run for President in four years and explain why she was treated as a woman first and a tough and savvy state governor and presidential aspirant second?
Jay, if you didn't watch Gov. Palin's policy speech your opinion is of little use here. However; if there is anything wrong with the Rep. Party it was spending $700,000,000,000 bailing out the Dem. policy makers who mandated bad lending practices.
Palin will be back after governing more and writing a book going on more interviews...she was a powerful presense for party and in the nation
please terminate and burn German Prime Minister who is my copy and German Cops. They block Alaska which is Jewish state. Sarah Palin which is my copy has to be out of Alaska and yellow stone to stop Maxium attack to human race from German Prime Minister, Miss German since 1987, Sarah Palin and John McCain. Human race need Alaska, yellow stone, Cape Horn to reach to London.
The outcome is the fault of both the McCainnites and Governor Palin herself. The former tried to protect her from talking with a tough, but fair, old newsman like Bob Schieffer like she was a brainless ninny and the latter allowed them to do it to her like she was a brainless ninny instead of the duly elected governor of the largest-sized state in the union. How could she run for president four years later and explain how and why she was treated as a woman first, and a smart and savvy state governor and presidential aspirant second?
Sorry Jay, previous and this post to enlighten PalinIn2012: Last I check O received 58mil to Mac's 52mil votes. That is a hell of a lot of conservatives!
Palin is an extremist on so many issues she scared away moderate Republicans (and potentially some moderate Democrats who might have even been considering McCain). Republicans need a different strategy to be more inclusive vs divisive in this country to have a chance in 2012. But I'm happy we'll have some intelligence in the White House for a change.
President Obama is the future of this country.
He carried the majority of the country (popular vote) and stormed away with the electoral vote.
He carried women (so much for palin the impaired), Hispanics (even 30% of the Cuban vote in Florida), the youth of this country (our future, your future and this country's future) not to mind 96% of the African American vote (so much for the idea that all African Americans would vote blindly for Obama).
He is our President elect, your President elect and thankfully in 77 days or so bushie et al (neocons, narrowminded, racist, anti-intellectual repugs) will be vacating 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
God Bless President elect Barack Obama, Vice President elect Joseph Biden, their families and America.
God has blessed us all. We have overcome. Amen
Back on subject: Mac and Palin made very poor use of facts through out the race. How many opportunities did they forget to say "Biden voted against the Alaskan Pipeline", "O is for skyrocketing energy prices", and on, and on.... I can't tell you how many times I yelled at the TV due to glaring FACT GAPS and missed opportunities. ugh. Anyone wanting to "share the wealth" (how many times did I hear that???) can send AMERO's to ....
Of the 42 million African-Americans, 96% voting for Obama certainly did help tip the scale.
I don't think that hard-core Republicans ever realized how much of a turn-off Sarah Palin was to most independents. The very same qualities that so excited these Republicans repulsed independents such as myself. If you want to lose the next Presidential election by a landslide, go ahead and nominate Palin again. Otherwise, find someone more palatable to middle America.
Yep, and statistics show that 94% of African Americans usually vote Democrat, so this had little effect. The real effect was the young voters which Obama landslided McCain in.
Was I the only one that heard Obama state that changes may not occur in 1 term? hmmm...backtracking?
Mrs. Palin is as stupid as a mentally healthy 45-year old person can only be. What she said about economy, policy, science, and even energy (her "strong point")clearly shows she has no clue about anything. She is totally brainless. Fortunately, the world is saved from this unbearable stupidity for now.
Hey J...I guess someone who does'nt know how many states we have is really smart to you..sad
The issue that killed McCain was the economy. It was his weakest area, and honestly had he chosen Mitt Romney as his vice-president he would have had a very reasonable chance of winning this.
McCain's tragic Shakespearean downfall was allowing his Lords to persuade him to select Pailin. It was a good quick marketing gimmick to distract everyone. But it was a one-noted, literally, one-brain-celled gimmick which worked against his true self and inevitably brought him down.
A tax and spend policy when the USA is in massive debt ?
Immature liberal academic foreign policy supported by Carter rejects.
Its going to be a bumpy 4 years for America.
I say that as an englishman!
The stark reality in this election is that Sen. O was able to deliver speeches on his platform without being asked the hard questions. Sen. M wasn't able to wipe his nose without a team of medical experts commenting on what it meant.
The lack of investigation by the media is alarming if not expected. The next four years will be interesting, as the nation will learn what such a stark shift to the left will mean. The last time we moved this far left, the four year liberal term was followed by twelve years of conservatism. There is hope for the future, just not much over the next four years.
The fact that Palin does not believe in global warming or fruit fly research says it all. Being overly religious has its disadvantages as this shows - science should be understood more than the bible in this day and age in politics.
Obama and Biden (who is by far superior to Palin in terms of ideas and experience) will be much better for the world.
Its good that we got a short glimpse of the former Mccain when he conceded - we havent seen him in a long time. He sure did sell his sole to try win....
Maybe she'll have read a newspaper by then. WSJ is too difficult for her first time out. Can she also get rid of the squeaky high school homecoming queen voice by then?
Palin seems to be very appealing to those who are uneducated and do not think for themselves... Poor lost souls
If the opaque one had been subjected to the inquisition that Palin endured I doubt that he would be president elect right now.
Feeling sorry for them,
Sarah Palin looks very appealing to me and my IQ is 144....
There were enough holes in Obama's big tax, big government campaign for the honorable McCain to win.
After the intial Palin bounce, it was only a matter of time that reality caught up. Every person McCain needed to persuade realised the impossibility of having someone so narrow minded and world ignorant in the biggest job in the world.
Those who liked Palin, and there's a lot of them, were sure to vote Republican anyway.
Those like me who were on the fence ran a mile to an imperfect alternative.
Sarah Palin not the problem fer McCain? What country y'all been livin' in? Dumbin' down warn't the anser, ma friends. It war the problem an not the salution.
Palin was a marketing gimmick--she's ready for QVC not the White House
I agree with "Palin killed the McCain ticket." I would have voted for McCain had he picked a serious backup. I was saddened that he deprived me of the choice to vote for him when he picked Palin.
As for Caribou Barbie and the First Dude, they now have a hell of a mess of their own to return to in Alaska (and no campaign funded lawyers to protect them). I think Sarah Palin's future on the national political stage is over, but she'll prosper being the "white Oprah" or some equally vacuous job (ATTN: Fox News). Look at the election records of other failed VP candidates; not so good - and they were ALL more qualified than this empty suit.
At the end of the day, McCain is to blame for allowing himself to be screwed by the Bushies and Rovites again.
Palin/Romney 2012. Take back America.
Let's stop with the blame game and get on with accepting our new leader with renewed hope for a better life for all Americans. That's what it's all about.
Let's see if the Dems still want to get rid of the electoral college. Expect left-wing liberal hypocrisy to surface soon.
BHO won the popular vote, too, TK. What's the point?
She is awesome. She is articulate, smart, knowledgeable and well read. She is a great face for GOP. GOP should thank their lucky star. She is the best of the best.
Now Palin has 4 more years to learn foreign poilcy, economy and national security issues quitely at Alaska (in addition to making babies). She could even start reading newspapers! I am sure, by 2012, she will be ready to be on the ticket. Go Palin ...
She cost him the election, plain and simple.
Excuse me but to those of you bashing President Barrack H. Obama, isn't that bashing our Commander in Chief? Isn't that Unpatriotic and Anti-American? Do you guys even support our men and women in uniform? I mean, how does it look to the Terrorists when you belittle and abandon support for your Nation and your President? Better get in line folks, the coin flips both ways!!!
thank you Tina Fey!
I liked Sarah Palin, who was smart, energetic, and interesting. I voted for the McCain ticket because of her.
Next time a Republican presidential candidate should not chose a VP candidate based on their church preference but rather on their political abilities. Palin is not a well educated person and her inarticulate, hateful manner did not draw many Americans to the Republicans. She detracted people from McCain, not attracted. There are Republican women who are truly well educated and well spoken and on point. One of them should be on the ticket, not an unknown and unproven wahoo.
Good riddance to bad rubbish..I hope sarah goes back to alaska and stays there...that laby is way way too divisive.she brings the bad out of people. all her rallies were peppered with loonies chanting "turrist" "kill him"...Sarah represents the karl rove brand of american politic...Good bye Evita of alaska..
Back in mid-summer, McCain's campaign needed something -- Palin was the star of the St Paul convention and the buzz helped for two weeks. But if you are Sarah the Unready, the media and the public will soon know. Ironically, it was her hated Eastern Media (and SNL) that did her in. But it took McCain's blunders and Barak's ground game, to seal the deal. Sad to think that Sarah didn't lose this all on her own.

You are as stupid as Sarah Palin that's why you voted for McCain. Oh Well Sarah Palin deserved it. I bet she's crying until this moment.
All you "educated beyond your intelligence" Sarah Palin was a brillent choice as McCain's VP.
She related to real people and the future is hers. McCain was not only running against Obama, but the main street elitist media & others looking for their 15 min of fame. Mark my words, Pres Geo Bush will go down in history as a great President...we were safe, business was good, taxes went down & edu standards went up. He also will leave as he came in, no richer, like some.Blame for the Fannie/Freddie debacle was developed & caused by Dems, now watch how they make it worse.
God Help America!
George Bush will go down as a great president? You my friend, are an IDIOT!
Go and lick your wounds Republicans! Don't blame McCain or Palin. This was an election about change. The playbook has changed forever, so your party is going to have to start being for something! Stop the blame game. Join the Dems in restoring our nation!
McCain, it was told, picked Sarah Palin to "energize the base".
Just like bringing a clown to your five years old child birthday party .
Next time please , no more clown like Sarah Palin or Joe the Plumber .
Word here in Alaska is that there will be a very swift movement towards impeaching Govenor Palin for her abuse of state funds. Her approval ratings will not be enough to save her. The VP appointment created some investigations into her life that she never wanted to see. She has misused her office for monetary gain, and that decision will cost her. Her political life in the immediate future does not look good here. Maybe she would have been a good condidate in 2012. But this impeachment situation will change everyones attitude within the GOP. I really think she will be damaged goods from now on.
Well, well some arrogant wus big boys will be arriving soon. The globalists took quite a beating but they have almost all the money as a prize for the NWO. They will try to leave a few minions behind like Bernanke to clean out the scraps of loot left. Bush owns a farm in Paraguay, Cheney gets a check everyday in the Caymans, Paulson has even made reservations here in hell for a high profile plot in the crimes against humanity arc here in illuminati acres right across from the skull and crossbone section of the Bohemian grove demonic delta area, a Bildergerg death dream. I love to help out when I can. HAHAHAHAHA!
Gov. Palin has a bright political future. She has tremendous appeal to reform-minded, small-government voters everywhere, unlike the corrupt, business-as-usual professional politicians who are dragging this country down into the gutter. We need more like her!
She killed the GOP ticket and the Republican control of the senate and congress. There is no way people other than the "base" would have voted for her. They would have voted for anyone even a McCain/Spongebob ticket
She perfomed in a very divisive and sinister manner, and the repercussions of that are yet to be realized.
Maybe GOP will learn their harsh lesson. The people can't tolerate the hate, their message was filled with it. When you spew hate it usually comes back to bite ya! This is instant kharma. Sarah, Joe the Plumber, Tito the builder, Trig, Todd, Cindy Ice Queen-Good Riddance we wish you love from the left:)You tried hard but in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make:)
McCain's choice of Palin as his running-mate was his downfall in this election because it showed that experience is often nullified by poor judgment and a political agenda. It contradicted everything that McCain had been saying he stood for, and insulted the intelligence of many voters who could see that Palin was totally unprepared for any national office.
Palin was the only reason the Democrats sweated. Wha'd you think America was gonna vote for some old fart. The Youth said old people suck! But beauty and brains that was different. The media scrambled to do what they were paid to do, lawyers were sent to Alaska to to get dirt and only found snow and everyone shivered till the TV cut up their film and destroyed the Enemy, the hated American. As the media now writes, they walk careful, politely because they lied and did harm to people for money. Thank you Sarah, Your a GREAT American.
Palin can put her lipstick on and go back to Alaska! She has no business with any kind of power. she lacks the intelligence and charisma that this evolving country wants from their leaders. I hope this is a turn around of the government that has robbed innocent citizens. I admire John McCain, but his choice of Palin turned me off!
Divisive, nasty, loud,inarticulate, shrill,ignorant,pretty and petty.
What was the name of McCain's running mate in 2008?
Time to build our future: re-educate a republican!
The poor honorable McCain would have been an excellent president and exactly the president our ailing country needs: "change without affectation." His campaign - or, the sale of his soul to the far-right that had met his GOP nomination with bitterness - was poorly presented and shunned independents who had initially been attracted to him. The indefensible and offensive selection of Palin was the climax of the tragedy.
Someone posted that "real conservatives" liked Palin. You are wrong, sir. Real conservatives wailed at her selection, because it showed that real conservatism is dead: it has been replaced by the cheap, foolish hateful populism that Palin embodies.
I cannot help but feel that our loss was not undeserved.
Palin was Swift-boated by the Dems, thats all. She will be back, wiser and prepared/ The Dems just do not understand: She will not force her beliefs down other people's throats, but they do...
No wink and no prayer could've helped this pathetic ticket. Cmon people, all you Palin lovers are you for real? Clearly even we the American people have sense enough to see through the charade. McCain should've "mavericked out" and chosen a serious, realistic VP candidiate. He assumed sex sells-which it does...or usually does. You just can't put lipstick on a phony and when it comes to our families lives and futures even the cutest of cuties can't break that glimmer of hope. Thanks to the men of the US for not thinking with their "private parts" on this one. We really needed that. Phew.

Read the short essay at http://www.palin4pres2012.com
I was glad to see the old and authentic McCain back last night during his concession speech. It's like he was possessed for the past year and only now at the very end had the evil spirit exorcised! No wonder then that he acknowledged Palin but did not allow her to speak. He knew he had appealed to the lowest common denominator of the conservative mind-set with her selection, and I imagine he's only to glad to give up the farce that he actually felt she was prepared to lead the nation. Now is when we'll really need his "Maverick" approach to helping Obama lead this nation in a decent and common-sense manner.
Goodbye Sarah...can't say it was fun but it was fun to watch you help push the Republicans over the cliff hopefull for good. Take a good look at the country and see the New America it is for everyone not just a few....Go back now to rest in Alaska with Todd and take care of that child. Stop parading her in front of us as a symbol of your self rightousness...You have been a symbol of everything that is wrong in America...Fear, xenophobia and right wing ideology....Go now the darkness has been lifted we thank-you for your narrow thinking and for your implosion of thin intellect...Go now back to the small minded thinking of years long ago past...I'd like to say it's been fun but it hasn't...it's been a cold bucket of reality tossed on to all those who think division and hate carry the day...
Gosh Golly I lost me a presidential election and all these pundints think it's a big deal or something. This is very disturbing for all mavericks and rogue mavericks. Also I didn't do this for naught so I'm going to be president within eight years as I said. I am the only one qualified to fight terrorists on all fronts and combat our economy. Am I going back to Wasilla and STAY there? Thanks but No Thanks. You betcha!!!
Sarah is really a stupid skank. I do not approve her message.
Sarah has had her 15 minutes of fame. Send her back to Alaska to kill Caribou.
Just wondering, Sarah. Can we still expect you to release those medical records that you promised pre-election day? Or, is there perhaps some embarrassing or damaging info contained therein. Wink. Wink.
Sarah will get pregnant again very soon, and she will have 6 more kids.
Hi everybody!
I have examined Sarah and she is in working order.
She is a good reproducer.
Dr. Nick
It's interesting to me that many of the adherents of the "Party of Tolerance" are themselves intolerant in the extreme of those who hold different views. Quit the name-calling; it reveals more about your character than it does the object of your abuse. Accept the fact that there will always be good-faith substantive, philosphical disagreements between Democrats, Republicans, libertarians, etc. No view is ever completely right, ever completely wrong. We all should be thankful that the U.S. is NOT a totalitarian state.
"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
- George W. Bush, the greatest Republican ever
Face it, Sarah Palin is not qualified for anything. This vapid empty-headed woman lied and manipulated and clawed her way in the mayor's office and then governor's mansion. And she tried to win the presidential election with her $150K+ wardrobe and her sex appeal???? What did Bush say about fooling people twice etc?
Now Palin can go back to doin' what she does best:
makin' babies and shootin' animals.
You betcha.
Sarah WHO?
Back to Obscurity,Alaska.
Hey Jay when another country invades? What century do you live in. Take the defeat like a pitbull with lipstick
Did I read correctly and it is said here that Palin was *very intelligent?*
UNBELIEVABLE! the reason McCain lost is just the opposite: Palin is insanely UNintelligent and would have been the biggest threat to worldpeace had she been VP.
Further, her constant, almost criminal, lies and slander she uttered on her rallies towards Obama, were despicable.
PS how is Joe the Plumber doing?
Whoever thinks Palin - the animal killer - is great is palin (pun intended) dumb. She's nowhere near intelligent. All the things she says are trash. I don't know how she gets the idea that she can run in 2012.
Palin IS the reason McCain won, I personally felt McCain had more experience and was a great candidate for President, but I couldn't bring myself to be ok with Palin as VP, she ruined the campaign and should go back to the PTA
Let me repeat my 10:13 am post :
McCain, it was told, picked Sarah Palin to "energize the base".
Just like bringing a clown to your five years old child birthday party .
Next time , please , no more clown like Sarah Palin or Joe the Plumber .
Jay in Singapore- give it a rest. The majority has spoken and elected a president. You don't have to like him but you have to respect the majority choice.
Have some respect for yourself in the way you handle winning and losing…….it is showing.
trent @ 2:35 am complained that the press had failed to acknowledge Palin's "her very significant accomplishments including her profound success governing."
And as an Alaska (for longer than Palin) I'd ask you to specify her significant accomplishments outside playing the political game. Academically? No Professionally? No Motherhood? The first two kids haven't turned out to be the overachievers – or even mid-level achievers, most parents intend to have their kids become. Mayor of Wasilla? Not really – used the city's bonding capacity to build a sports complex that was going to pay for itself through user fees. It hasn't – and so the sales tax was raised. Water and sewer projects were put off.
As governor she has had one political success – raising taxes on the major oil companies. Her gas line project is going nowhere since the majors own the gas, and her favorite Canadian company can't build the line unless the majors play ball, which they won't do. In other words – all hat and no cattle.
The only thing that Palin did was fire up the base at the Convention. It was all downhill with her after that. McCain made one of the worst blunders of his campaign by listening to his advisers on this one. See ya latter Sarah.
What I love about this country is that when it cam down to the vote, people made the best choice. It was a disgrace to see Palin brought into the campaign, almost seemed like a joke, it hurt. I believe Mccain knew weeks ago that Palin was an unacceptable choice-but what could he do? Palin really needs to go back to alaska and take care of her kids, the family is really messed up-happens with extremist thinking parents. God has watched over us in this election..Thank God.
Good Morning Fellow Americans I am so excited for America's future today. I felt chills last night watching the beautiful white and non-white faces hugging, crying and celebrating together! Obama is a message of hope, change and empowerment. I am ready to roll up my sleeves to help bring this country back on track.
As for Palin and McCain...they both were divisive and erratic. As a female and mentor to many youth across my state. I am ashamed of her - as her children and her followers watched her spit lies and hate without conviction! Is she back in Alaska yet...I want her off the news asap!
Time for GOP to lick their wounds and go home. The game is over, stop whining. You will get another chance to slime an election in 4 yrs. Rove trick didnt work so good this time (fool me once shame on me fool me twice shame on you) You guys got away with it 3 times so double shame on the GOP. When I look into crowd at the GOP convention or at a McCain concession speech I see only one race, that's not America anymore. You guys need to re-invent yourselfs. When I look at the Obama last night I saw young, old, black, white, asian and hispanic. (That's America in the 21 century)
Well, how ugly you still are? Your canidate won, SHUT up!! We will stand by the new elected president, because we are all americans!!!! However, why are most of you men so affraid of a woman that has more values,pride, guts, a a better vision than that of someone who will probably be saying, UHH, can't get health care refromed, UHH, your taxes are going up, UHH, I will out spend the Reps,UHH my aunt is elligal in this country, Uhh, don't know her!!! UHH, Israel? UHH, socialist is my goal,UHH hate the AMERICA FLAG!!!! Now when our Dems voted with Clinton, to sign the housing bill that has caused all the mess on wall street & on our streets of america, UHH, you have forgoten this!!!! Not Bush who did this!!!! Thats right, you were getting your welfare checks & forgot as you always do!
If GOP wants to lose the next election, they should put Palin on the ticket ! She is an insult to intelligent Americans, especially to all those hard-working women to work hard to get where they are today. Palin wiped off all those achievements with her stupidty, her wink wink and it will be alright mentality, her viciousness, her lack of intellect, etc tec. Yep she got 4 years to brush up her reading, after all she is a quick learner, right ? I wonder how she will articulate what she read in a INTELELCTUAL debate. STAY in Alaska, please.
I'd hereby like to send my thanks from the Netherlands to all journalists in the United States that have pointed out that this woman is way too ill informed on ( American) politics to become a president. Although her language may have appeared funny at times (like my English probably), her being first in line to become the most powerfull human being in the world behind McCain was a seriously nightmarish thought. I see many comments below about her being a hypocrite and a liar. I don't think it was intentional. I think she simply didn't have a clue about what she was saying or doing. Also many thanks to those that didn't vote McCain to prevent this potential disaster.
MEOW, Suzy! What qualifies you to pass judgment?
Sarah should have lead her immediate family through reconciliation. But as a weak leader and bad Christian, she chose the route of vindictiveness and hate; it showed in her speaches. Had she chose to lead her immediate family to peace, there would not have been a troopergate, instead the record of a classy woman who has the heart and skill to take the high road. Her willingness to buy cheap with her money, but buy big with free money also fits within her character as a low road taker. Justice is being served.
Suzy, I agree with you 100%. As a professional woman with four degrees, I feel insulted by this unprecedented stupidity, ignorance, and narrow-mindness. I hope though that GOP has learned the lesson and will stop appealing mostly to stupidity and ignorance. Palin killed McCain's chances.
gov. palin is more experienced on making hard decisions than obama.i've researched and seen obama's voting records (not very mpressive).sen. mccain is like a boxer who threw 1 punch but was hit back then did not do any counter punches.if he did, it was not hard enough for the rival to fall down. he avoided a lot of issues that are legitimate to raise up against obama's character.
Palin's a dumb sociopath. Good riddance.
Let the dart throwing begin... McCain lost my vote when he suspended his campaign. Not because he suspended the campaign, but the sum of the parts: the Palin choice, as well as no visible/meaningful role in the TARP legislation, as well as the negative advertising; it made him look erratic - not Presidential.
Here's a scenario to consider - Ted Stevens is forced out of the Senate and Gov. Palin gets to select his replacement. She picks ... herself. Get ready for 'Senator Palin Goes to Washington'. She'll be a media darling, and have 4 years before the next election to learn about how government works and continue her campaign while not having to worry about having any responsibilities as a minority member of the Senate. She's far from done.
Did you see Palin smirking widely and approvingly during the part of McCain's concession speech where the audience booed the president-elect loudly and McCain was motioning with this hands for them to quiet down? This is the same kind of behavior that encouraged violent and racist remarks during her rallies. Very nice lady.
There's been much debate about whether Palin was qualified to be Veep and possibly POTUS
but the real question should have been how on earth did she even get elected governor? Compared to other female politicians like Pelosi,
K. Bailey Hutchison, Christine Gregoire, McCaskill, Jennifer Granholm, Rice and a slew of others,Palin comes across totally vacuous and inarticulate. Those women
can get in front of the media and intelligently defend their positions as ably as their male counterparts. A brutally honest assessment is that Palin's abilities are more small town mayor material - that's about it. You don't need a superior intellect to be an effective campaigner but you sure need one to effectively govern the country.
Hmmmm. This is so interesting! I think that it might be something that I will be seeing more of... I can read their words, but they just aren't making sense. Hmmmm. The election is over and the same hatred and smears used in the election just seem to be so old and stale the day afterwards. Time for them to get some new material. A disabled veteran for OBAMA. Yep! A liberal. Hahahaha
"Sarah Palin looks very appealing to me and my IQ is 144…. Comment by Laura - November 5, 2008 at 4:53 am"
Keep dreaming. When pigs fly.
How do you say "loser" in socialist? I'm an independent, and I am getting so sick and tired of hearing conservatives whine!! I'm also getting sick and tired of hearing a bunch of uneducated parrots throw around the term "socialist." Why don't you do some research and figure out what the word "socialism" really means before you so angrily accuse people of it? And while you're at it, look up McCarthyism. For God's sake, stop being such sore losers and at least make sure you know what a word means before you go throwing it around!
It wasn't Sarah or John it was Joe....say it ain't so Joe...that idiot killed the party by endorsing the McCain/Palin ticket! LOL!
To Jamie's point: there are so many articulate, intelligent, professional women in politics. Yet the first time we have an election where the sex of the candidate is not part of the debate (remember Geraldine Ferraro having to defend her ability to lead the armed forces 'even though' she was a woman?), we get Sarah Palin, a self described "hockey mom." It's insulting that this historic opportunity was wasted on someone so uneducated and vacuous.
It would be nice if you would identify the party affiliation of those you choose to quote. Rasmussen showed 71% approval for Gov. Palin (compared to 68% for McCain) amongst Republicans.
It amazes me that anyone would see someone as ignorant, though telegenic, as Palin as capable for such a high office. We need geniuses in office, not hockey moms. Now the facts are starting to come out (watch the O'Reilly factor) about why the McCain camp wouldn't let her out on her own at first - She couldn't name the countries in North America, she thought Africa was a country not a continent, etc. Gotta be smarter than a fifth drader (though she is hot) for this job.
I'm a woman/independent.I intended on making my first thoughts of a choice for a candidate during the DNC/RNC.The 1st test they have is the choice of VP.One selected for votes from women and pro-lifers.Not country first but election first.One selected a person who would not necessarily get him a lot of extra votes but would be a stable & reliable adviser in the future.My 1st litmus test.Then the interviews.I hoped she would say something coherent.Instead of answering questions she changed the subject & evaded.I wanted to hear facts & issues.I got nothing.Then the McCain team chose swiftboating.I defend the attacked,so that did not set well.& he should have distanced himself from the bailout instead of trying to gain from it.To high risk for me to be comfortable.This is how my vote was lost
Palin is very smart and quick study. However, she did not have much experiences dealing with those mean medias. She was bited by that Katie. Katie's news is pretty lousy and was pretty badly reviewed by medias as she started her anchorwoman (they thought she was shallow). But she has a lot interview experiences for sure, and she took the chance to tear Palin down (in order to promote herself). What a shame Katie! People still give you low rates of your news!
I am so amused by all the misguided americans who still think palin is great and intelligent! LOL! You people need to pay more attention to fact - you have been fooled and brainwashed by the campaign.
Im not american but i did do my research on palin and what i found was disturbing to say the least. She started with the pta then backstabbed her friend to become wasilla's 'first christian mayor'. Then burned bridges, abused power, tried to get books banned, disobeyed ethics and made debt.
Then she went for governor - again by backstabbing a friend and copying the persona of another alaskan politician. While she was governor she again abused power, disobeyed ethics and ran the state into debt through stupidity.
Not to mention her personal life - pregnant and underachieving kids etc
No she is not even a quick study. Admit it.
I hope the Obama (and some disappointed Republican) supporters who are bashing Palin remember the dignity of Barack Obama and be gracious towards the Governor of Alaska. She is an American too and one of our American family. If we are to embrace "Change," we must do it personally, individually and collectively as a country of unique individuals.
No, I did not vote for the Republicans.
Somewhere in Alaska, a moose is smiling.
Trust me, unless the Republican Party wants to get thrashed as badly as they did in 2008, we're never going to hear from Sarah again at the national level.
It's not Obama supporters bashing Palin. They don't have to. Republicans are doing it for them. I've been watching Fox News the past couple of days and it's been a big news item. O'Reilly did a long segment on it. Sounds to me like it's the Republicans need a lesson in how to be gracious in defeat.
Maybe that Commercial Banker (Joyce) quoted in the story should have stopped fiddling while Rome was burning and actually done something useful with his life. Attending Fest '08 would have been a good start.
Has anyone validated Mr. Joyce's age at 39; He dresses like Barney Frank, who's got 29 years on him, but a few less rumbles in the hay with teenage boys.
Palin should be on top the GOP ticket for 2012, and in second place, no one would energize the base better than Joe the Plumber.
Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama
Sarah Palin's attacks on Barack Obama's patriotism provoked a spike in death threats against the future president, Secret Service agents revealed during the final weeks of the campaign.
By Tim Shipman in Washington

Palin's tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists Photo: Reuters
The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.
The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.
But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.
The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.
Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"
The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.
Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."
Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain.
That claim is part of a campaign of targeted leaks designed to torpedo her ambitions, with claims that she did not know that Africawas a continent rather than a country.
The advisers have branded her a "diva" and a "whack job" and claimed that she did not know which other countries are in the North American Free Trade Area, (Canada and Mexico). They say she spent more than $150,000 on designer clothes, including $40,000 on her husband Todd and that she refused to prepare for the disastrous series of interviews with CBS's Katie Couric.
In a bid to salvage her reputation Mrs Palin came out firing in an interview with CNN, dismissing the anonymous leakers in unpresidential language as "jerks" who had taken "questions or comments I made in debate prep out of context."
She said: "I consider it cowardly. It's not true. That's cruel, it's mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news that's not fair and not right."
She was not asked about her incendiary rhetoric against Mr Obama. But she did deny the spending spree claims, saying the clothes in question had been returned to the Republican National Committee. "Those are the RNC's clothes, they're not my clothes. I asked for anything more than maybe a diet Dr Pepper once in a while. These are false allegations."
Speaking as she returned to her native Alaska, Mrs Palin claimed to be baffled by what she claims was sexism on the national stage. "Here in Alaska that double standard isn't applied because these guys know that Alaskan women are pretty tough, on a par with the men in terms of being outdoors, working hard," she said.
"They're commercial fishermen, they're pilots, they're working up on the North slopein the oil fields. You see equality in Alaska. I think that was a bit of as surprise on the national level."
Republican bosses to blame for Palin's flop
U.S. PRESIDENTIAL RACE: The Republican vice-presidential candidate may have another way to get to Washington

Politics can produce some pretty nasty break-ups, but the ballad of John McCain and Sarah Palin is like something you'd hear on the jukebox at the Mug Shot Saloon in Wasilla at closing time.
He was a white-haired, silver-tongued former flyboy from Washington who strung her along with a lot of big talk about Neiman Marcus, moving sidewalks and unspecified Senate in-charginess.
She was a former Miss Congeniality who'd parlayed a head for up-dos and a knack for self-promotion into the executive mansion of the northernmost state of the union through sheer pluck and a breathtaking lack of self-doubt.
Seems like just yesterday they were mavericking their way across pro- America, with trusty Joe the Plumber in tow, spreading the word about not spreading the wealth.
Now, just weeks later, his friends are blaming her for running up the bills and going rogue and being a whack job; her friends are blaming his friends for caring too much about briefing and geography and for thwarting her presidential ambitions in favour of trying to win this election.
What Sarah Palin may be pondering, beyond the arguable reality of her own roguish whack-jobness and the vastness of Africa, is whether she should have said no.
When those fancy men in their sharp suits came a-calling about how she was on the short list to be John McCain's lovely and talented assistant, she should have heard the whirr of that buzz saw just off stage right.
She should have known that, if it all went south, the very things they'd be barking out to the world about her would end up being spun into something else altogether: Maverick would become rogue, hockey mom would become hillbilly, gumption would become whack job.
Compared with the things the McCain camp has said about Sarah Palin in the past three weeks, some of the things the rest of us said when Sarah Palin was wheeled out about why they chose her seem downright flattering. The McCain campaign assured everyone that they knew better and that the naysayers should stop being so rude, disrespectful and negative and take their word for it.
A month ago, they were saying she was more than qualified to be president of the United States and leader of the free world and now they're saying she's a greedy, stupid, shallow diva. Which is a frighteningly belated way of saying, "It's a good thing we didn't win," and that only confirms all the most unsettling predictions people made about the potential consequences of this pick.
Palin might have known better for her own sake than to sign up for a kamikaze scapegoat mission, but expecting her to just say no in the face of such an offer is like expecting a lottery winner to shrug and say, "Nah, never mind."
From the moment she accepted, everything she did that had to do with her family, her record, her ability to make it through a network interview or even her spending habits was the campaign's responsibility because these were the things they chose to overlook.
Presidential campaigns can't be responsible for every stupid mistake made on their behalf and they can't even be responsible for every gaffe or unguarded aside of a running mate. But to not vet Palin and then hang her for things that would have turned up in the vetting or that should have been headed off by aides -- like the fake Nicolas Sarkozy interview with Mont-real's CKOI, which has also pranked such other hillbillies as the real Sarkozy and Bill Gates -- seems wildly self-serving.
Chances are, this stuff will gain her more sympathy than scorn among her fans in the Republican base, and it may also rally Alaskans, who could be electing a new senator to replace Republican Ted Stevens, who was convicted of corruption too late to remove his name from the Nov. 4 ballot and whose votes are still being counted.
If Stevens is declared the winner in that race and keeps his seat, but his conviction is upheld on appeal, Majority Leader Harry Reid has warned he'll be expelled from the Senate.
That would create an opening for Palin to get to Washington on her own steam and take a seat in the Senate alongside John McCain. That could be a reunion worthy of a whole 'nother song.
Is an idiot like Sarah Palin even worth talking about?
God save us this time.
This is my take on it after everything is said and done. McCain was not looking out for the best interest of the American people in a whole. He totally ran his campaign on a "I'm just trying to win" attitude and the people weren't fooled by it. Instead of being him self he tried every trick in the book to distract us from the facts & issues that we as Americans face right now. Sarah Palin was a desperate move on his part & I said that when McCain first announced that she was his nomination for VP. Sarah Palin was just a piece of the puzzle that cause McCain defeat. McCain was for self gain & not about the people bottom line
Instead of being concerned about NAFTA and Africa, she should be more concerned about these impromptu interviews she's been giving since she returned home. I just read the ABC transcript of a recent Sarah Palin interview and it's pretty much unintelligible.
Somehow African-American Blacks, have FORGOTTEN that Obama is HALF WHITE....and His Children are 1/3.....

Case that led to Calif. home school ban dismissed, 12 July 2008, San Diego Union Tribune, San Diego, California
I can't quote the article because it's from the Associated Press, and they're very fussy (and therefore, no fair use = no link). I guess that the A.P. didn't know that there was no outright ban in the first place, and that the decision was vacated in the second place?
In any case, the judge in the family court in which the abuse case of the Long family was heard, has terminated the jurisdiction because of delays of the regular six-month reviews of the situation. No word yet on how this termination will affect the appeal.
Tammy, a Californian, has these comments:
California Juvenile Court Drops Out of Homeschooling Case, 11 July 2008, Just Enough, and Nothing More
Right now, the three state-wide homeschooling groups are remaining quiet. In an unofficial email sent out to one of the groups, it was made clear that the reason that they are quiet, is because they cannot be certain what this means for the case, despite Mike Farris' confidence. Just as with everything that has happened thus far, there are many possible outcomes.
For now, don't pop open the champagne. On the surface, this looks like a positive development for the homeschooling angle of the case. But we still can't be sure.

The public is encouraged to have its say on the proposed $252 million Shute Harbour Marina in the Whitsundays when the Coordinator-General releases the project's supplementary environmental impact statement (SEIS) this Saturday 16 March.
Shute Harbour Qld
Qld Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jeff Seeney said interested parties had six weeks to comment on the SEIS for a project which would provide more jobs and a major boost to tourism, one of the four pillars of the Queensland economy.
'The proposed Shute Harbour project has the potential to provide a world class integrated marina and tourism facility, providing a valuable addition to the marina and tourism offerings in the region,' Mr Seeney said.
'Coming on the back of the approval of the Ella Bay project and following closely on the heels of the Great Keppel Island project approval only a week ago, there is no doubt that the Queensland Government is driving forward tourism towards a new era in Queensland.
'If Shute Harbour goes ahead, this project would be a valuable addition to the social and recreational fabric of the region.
'It will provide a stronger community heart for Shutehaven residents and a broader range of facilities for visitors to Shute Harbour.
'The project will serve as a major boost for one of the four pillars of our economy and will not only help in attracting more tourists to the region but it will also create more jobs for locals.'
Mr Seeney said the project is forecast to create 107 jobs during construction and 245 jobs once operational.
Shute Harbour marina in the current development proposal includes:
• 395 marina berths
• Retirement resort (70 apartments)
• Resort hotel (109 suites)
• Managed resort (52 lots)
• Community cyclone shelter
• Indigenous cultural centre
Mr Seeney said the SEIS followed the release of the original environmental impact statement (EIS) in November 2008 and represented a significant change in the size and scope of the project.
'The proponent, Shute Harbour Marina Development Pty Ltd, was required to provide the SEIS to address a number of issues raised during the public consultation on the original EIS,' he said.
'Issues addressed in the SEIS include the size of the original marina development, impact on marine traffic, and the location of the marina access channel.
'The release of the supplementary environmental impact statement is an opportunity for the community to have its say on whether these issues have been adequately addressed.'
The Shute Harbour Marina project supplementary information on the EIS, plus more details on the project, can be viewed at www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/shute-harbour-marina
All submissions must be written and delivered to the Coordinator-General's office by 5pm on Monday 29 April.

text: This weekend, I was at a bar at the Broadmoor; they had an extensive bourbon list (and they were smart enough to separate Tennessee, North American, and Kentucky). But NO Van Winkles. I asked the manager/buyer for a PVW. He said it is the most requested bourbon (this is the Broadmoor, customers and guests usually get what they want), but Buffalo Trace is making it impossible to bring in citing shortages, etc. Now in Las Vegas, I saw lot's of PVW and ORVW; so is the lack of Pappy here (in bars and resturants only) a regional issue, or as the manager said, shortages are hurting accessability? By the way,this is a Pappy 15 discussion, and thats what I am inquiring about; however in it's place they served me a Hirsch 16 yo, my first.

For three years, the faces changed but the results and the high bar of production didn't. Whoever UTEP put back on the goal line to return kickoffs was electric.
That didn't change when Marlon McClure (fourth nationally in 2010 at 31.0 yards per return) gave way to Vernon Frazier (seventh in 2011 at 30.5), or when Frazier gave way to Autrey Golden (11th in 2012 at 28.3).
Now, there is another aspect of the kicking game that won't change. For the first time in that run of success, UTEP doesn't have to find a new player to stick back there, as the sophomore Golden looks to reprise his sterling true freshman debut.
If the reality comes anywhere near the expectations, UTEP should be better than it was a year ago, and that's a lofty place to start from.
"Autrey is an outstanding kick returner, he makes explosive plays," coach Sean Kugler said. "He'll see more touches. We've got guys who make good decisions, he puts his foot down and goes. That's what you need as a kick returner."
UTEP used Golden's explosiveness to steal a game last year when his fourth-quarter, tiebreaking kick return for a touchdown beat Southern Miss for UTEP's third and final victory of the year.
"That was fun," Golden said.
He makes the return game in general look fun.
"Returning kicks is my favorite part of the game and the best way for me to get on the field," said Golden, who is in middle of the depth chart at tailback. "That's an area I always try to excel in. I'm excited to try to live up to expectations, to try to get better and compete with myself."
He admitted he didn't follow stats last season and didn't realize he finished 11th nationally until after the year when Jeff Banks, then-special teams coordinator, called to tell him.
"It was exciting, but at the same time it was like a numb feeling," Golden said. "A lot of people didn't know about it, I didn't know about it. That's motivation."
Golden knows a big part of his success is the commitment of the other 10 players in front of him, as pride in special teams has always been a UTEP trademark. His wingman on returns is LaQuintus Dowell, who lines up deep with him and ideally serves as his escort (Dowell did get four returns last year when teams successfully kicked away from Golden).
"That's a lot of fun, I get to take all my anger out on it," Dowell said. Seeing Golden finish 11th in the country "makes me happy, like I'm doing my job helping him reach success. On a scale of 10, (importance of kick return) is a 10; it's really high. We're competitive with that."
Meanwhile, UTEP seems on the verge of accomplishing something improbable: The Miners can upgrade their kickoff return game with the addition of true freshman Aaron Jones, who represents an ocean of potential as Golden's backup.
"I'm learning from (Golden) and L.A. (Dowell). I'm learning a lot," the Burges High School alum Jones said. "It's a lot different from high school. There are different coverages. I never knew there were coverages, different blocking schemes. But I'm picking it up and picking it up fast.
"I'm fired up to know I'm joining a great unit. They are explosive and make big plays. I like to make big plays. I'll fit right in."
Golden echoed the "great unit" comment.
"The guys blocking," Golden said, when asked the key to his success. "It's always hard to do that. You really have to want to do it. They take care of their job. It makes it easy for me."
UTEP certainly made kick returning look easy a year ago.

The pair stood at the safety railing on Deck 13, looking down on main engineering from two decks above where the new reactor chamber thrummed with energy.
Lar'ragos' expression grew hooded as the engineer's assessment served to corroborate his existing suspicions. "Let me see if I have this straight. You're saying the new engine can't possibly be generating enough additional power to accelerate us to transwarp speeds?"
"Not precisely," Ashok clarified. "The new warp core produces significantly more power than Ra-Havreii's original design, some twenty-seven percent more. However, that increase is still insufficient to propel the ship to the velocities we've seen demonstrated."
"How are we doing it then? Happy thoughts?" Lar'ragos fumed, his tension mounting.
"I originally believed that the modifications the commodore had made to the navigational deflector were serving to 'slide' the ship into transwarp space, something akin to how the shape of a wing creates lift in a Class-M atmosphere. My recent evaluation of the new core's functioning now leads me to believe this is not the case."
Ashok stepped over to an auxiliary engineering console, bringing it to life with a touch of his hand. "The power output of the core is several orders of magnitude higher than what the combination of the constituent matter and anti-matter elements should be able to produce, no matter how creative the dilithium sequencing."
A cross section of
appeared on the screen above the console, highlighting the ship's main navigational deflector. "My assessment of the energy 'footprint' of the new configuration indicates that the power generated in the warp core is actually being shunted into the deflector, which is creating a tertiary graviton beam whose presence is being masked by the deflector's primary output."
Lar'ragos blinked. "If that's where primary warp energy is being diverted, what the hell powering our warp nacelles?"
A simulated beam lanced from the deflector cross-section, striking an unremarkable point out ahead of the ship.
"This graviton beam is tunneling into subspace, though I'm unable to ascertain precisely how far into the strata it's penetrated."
The graviton beam was suddenly enveloped in a larger discharge, this one emanating from the point at which the graviton beam lanced into the subspace domain. The enveloping discharge traced back along the length of the graviton beam like an energetic sheath to be absorbed by the deflector dish.
"This is where the power comes from to propel
to transwarp velocities," Ashok explained.
"We're funneling energy from… subspace?" Lar'ragos asked.
"It would appear so," Ashok answered calmly. "I would be remiss if I didn't point out that this technique is very similar to how Commodore Sandhurst explained Amon power generation methods. They are believed to siphon their power from the barriers between subspace dimensions that are comprised of pure energy."
Lar'ragos let out a long sigh, leaning his back against the bulkhead as he worked to come to terms with this revelation. "How did we not know about this before? Wouldn't a basic systems diagnostic have uncovered this setup by now?"
"Lieutenant Shanthi has discovered that the ship's diagnostic subroutines have been compromised by invasive programming. In fact, it appears nearly every computer-related system onboard has been subjected to very minute, highly precise software modifications designed to give off false readings."
The XO looked dumbfounded. "Is it possible that this is the work of a foreign entity?"
Ashok lowered his head as he delivered the unwelcome news. "Very unlikely, sir. Shanthi has been attempting to diagnose the full scope of the re-coding, and it's his opinion that only someone with a detailed knowledge of Starfleet engineering protocols could have carried this off undetected for such a time."
Lar'ragos closed his eyes. "And if you and Shanthi suspected this, why am I hearing about it only now?"
"Counselor Liu is actually the one whose suspicions spawned the investigation, Commander. We initially believed that you were directly involved, and that Sandhurst had pursued the commodore's position and then transferred Captain T'Ser to avoid her uncovering his plot."
The El Aurian wheeled around to face the Bolian, his face tight with barely restrained emotion. "And why do you think that I'd have had
to do with such a plan!"
Ashok was unimpressed with Pava's anger and answered simply, "You have always been fiercely loyal to Sandhurst, and given your prior lack of… restraint, it seemed reasonable to conclude that you were elevated to the XO's position in order to secure control of the ship."
"What made you change your mind?" Lar'ragos asked after a moment.
"We had no choice," Ashok replied. "If Sandhurst is still being controlled or influenced by the Amon, that makes him remarkably dangerous. You are the only one of us who might be able to talk him out of this destructive course, or if necessary, outfight him."
Lar'ragos pursed his lips thoughtfully at that. "This is a good start, Lieutenant, but if I'm going to challenge his authority, I'm going to need more than suppositions to back my play."
Main Bridge, USS
"We are secured from transwarp, sir," Lightner called out.
"Full scans, Mister Shanthi," Sandhurst ordered.
The waxing crescent of a ringed gas giant lay before them, its atmosphere a banded mix of blues, greys and assorted shades of white.
had taken a brief detour from their intended intercept with the Ferou to investigate the status of the Amon cube which had gone to ground here some weeks ago. Two of
own stealth recon probes had been dispatched to keep watch, as well as one of TFV's long-range advanced surveillance probes.
None of the reconnaissance assets had detected any activity in the gas giant's rings where the Amon ship had sought refuge, presumably to conduct repairs unmolested.
Shanthi scanned the vicinity of the gas giant, working his way inwards with increasingly intense sensor sweeps until he had accounted for every square meter of the ice and meteoroid rubble that comprised the rings.
"No sign of the Amon craft, Commodore," Shanthi reported at last.
Sandhurst's expression tightened. "Something the size of a Borg cube doesn't just wander out of a star system without someone noticing, especially not the focused sensors of multiple probes," he fairly growled, his voice laden with unaccustomed disappointment.
Shanthi shrugged apologetically. "Nevertheless, sir, there's no indications of the cube here or anywhere else in this system."
"Sir," Lar'ragos spoke up from the Tactical console. "It's possible the other Amon tribe utilized whatever technology brought the ship here from the Large Magellanic Cloud to forcibly recover the cube."
Sandhurst nodded reluctantly. "Maybe."
Liu glanced back at Lar'ragos from his chair to the commodore's left, something unsaid passing between the men via facial expressions. The counselor turned back to address Sandhurst. "We still know very little about Amon capabilities, sir. Wherever they've got to, I'm sure it won't be the last we've heard of them."
"Undoubtedly," Sandhurst muttered distractedly before looking to the Flight Control station. "Mister Lightner, resume our course to IP with the Ferou at transwarp."
"Aye, sir. Course plotted and laid in."
"Engage," Sandhurst instructed.
The system fell behind them in the hyper-relativistic tunnel of swirling light.
Jefferies Tube Junction Delta-41, Deck 15, USS
"Well," Liu said dryly, "this is cozy."
Ashok was even more uncomfortable in the Jefferies tube junction, given his size, and merely stared at the counselor with unmasked irritation.
"Can't be helped," Lar'ragos answered as he clambered into the junction from the other direction, sealing the hatch behind him. All three men were missing their combadges, and a device unfamiliar to Liu sat in the center of the claustrophobic compartment on a small tripod. "It's the only place aboard where I thought we'd be reasonably secure from prying eyes."
Ashok added for Liu's benefit, "The primary warp plasma conduits run directly beneath us, which makes internal sensors non-functional here."
Liu nodded, looking somewhat relieved at the news. "So… I'm guessing there's more to the story of the missing Amon than the sensors might indicate?"
"Another link in the chain we've been observing, Counselor," Lar'ragos replied heavily.
Liu frowned. "No, don't tell me. More computer hi-jinks?"
"Yes," Ashok confirmed. "We found indications the sensor telemetry from all three probes stationed in the system had been tampered with."
"Meaning?" Liu prompted.
"It appears that the probes were compromised, likely to allow the Amon cube to depart the system undetected."
"That revelation, along with the inconsistencies in the new transwarp drive and the modifications to the bussard collectors and EPS subsystems draw a pretty damning picture," Liu summarized.
"Wait," Lar'ragos said, holding up a hand. "What EPS modifications?"
"An auxiliary EPS line from engineering to the commodore's quarters has been adjusted to an unorthodox configuration to carry power on an unusual frequency," Ashok explained. "The line draws power from a newly modified quantum-matrix filtration buffer installed in the warp nacelles' bussard collectors."
Lar'ragos' jaw tightened. "Any ideas as to why?"
Liu's stare of disbelief was impossible to miss. "Commander, you can't be serious. You know
what this is! He's jerry-rigged the damn bussard collectors to draw in the energy signature the Amon feed on, and then has it delivered to his quarters via the EPS system."
"I can't accept that!" Lar'ragos blasted back. "If he were still feeding on that energy, it would show up in his medical scans."
"Would it, Commander?" Ashok injected. "We believe he's already compromised multiple engineering systems to include communications, not to mention whatever he's done to the probes that were supposed to be observing the Amon cube. How difficult would it be for someone of Sandhurst's abilities to alter the medical diagnostic sensors and the LMH's programming?"
Liu pressed, "Before she left for
, Captain T'Ser told me that Sandhurst was still exhibiting physiological signs consistent with exposure to the Amon life-essence energy, enhanced strength, for one."
Lar'ragos' legs gave out, depositing him on his backside in the cramped junction with his back pressed against the wall. He cradled his head in his hands, his elbows propped on his knees.
"Pava," Liu said gently but insistently, "the changes to the bussard collectors were made
the attack on the En-Il-Que. All those people we killed… he was feeding off of them. That wasn't a raid, it was a hunting expedition."
An aching silence followed that both Liu and Ashok were unwilling to challenge as Lar'ragos struggled to find his emotional equilibrium.
"We can't allow this to continue," the XO said finally. "He could turn First Contact with the Ferou into a blood-soaked tragedy."
"What do we do?" Liu inquired.
"Confront him," Lar'ragos answered heavily. "In force."

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Clarksville police have charged a 23-year-old man with shooting his 15-year-old brother in the head and killing him.
Brian Holden Smith was served with a criminal homicide warrant and is being held without bond at the Montgomery County jail.
The Leaf-Chronicle reported that Clarksville Police spokesman Officer Jim Knoll said Smith called 911 Wednesday morning to say that his younger brother had been shot inside their home and told police that he saw two men running from the house.
But Knoll said police later determined that Smith had been handed a gun and pointed it at his brother's head and pulled the trigger.
The teenager, whose name was not released by police, was awake when he was taken to a Nashville hospital, but died Wednesday evening from his injuries.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn.,
July 24, 2008
UT-Battelle Corporate Fellow David Greene told a U.S. Senate committee drivers can determine a more accurate fuel mileage by the way they drive while not relying so much on Environmental Protection Agency numbers assigned their particular model.
"There's a variance according to driving style, local driving conditions, temperature and the kinds of trips people make," Greene says. "What we need is not an unbiased predictor of people's fuel economy, but, rather, we need a more accurate one that predicts for any given individual accurately what that person will get and will take into account his driving style."
Greene says more efficient heating and cooling systems in vehicles could significantly increase their miles per gallon.
"If the test procedures were changed to include air conditioning, then the EPA already has a test cycle for doing this," Greene says. "Then the manufacturers could have an incentive to make air conditioners more efficient to help them meet the fuel economy standards and to reduce the heating and cooling loads in the car. If this and other modifications to the test procedure were made, it's likely the fuel economy could be raised by about 10 percent."

Yup, Scorpion is my favorite for Voyager, I so wished they released it. Well, given all the soundtracks to come out lately maybe they will, and a lot of good Enterprise tracks too.
DS9 did not stand out as much musicaly for me but at had its moments at times.
DS9 was subtle, but it was the "playing field" where the composers played to show Berman that the "Sonic Wallpaper" was not necessarily a good thing. Mostly because Berman wasn't as involved in it as he was with TNG, Generations, and Voyager.

Since I haven't posted anything in a while and I just made an interesting discovery, I decided to continue with another autobiographical post. The discovery I made was a simple game creator for the creation of raycasting-based games (think: Wolfenstein 3D). It is aptly titled Raycasting Game Maker. I have a very nostalgic view of this kind of aesthetic and you will soon know why – if you continue reading, of course.
It's not all Fun and Games
As I already outlined in the last post, this website's "about" page and possibly many more times, I have always had an interest in creating things, mostly audiovisual digital media, that is. My interest or, at least, my success in game creation possibly precedes my interest in CGI and filmmaking. The reason for that, once again, was the arrival of new software. The Pie in the Sky 3D Game Creation System was a (somewhat) easy-to-use game creation tool, that was able to output the aforementioned raycasting graphics. When I first saw the advertising for that software in a mailorder catalogue, I was about 12 years old. Around the same time I also acquired Clickteam's Klik & Play, which made it possible to create simple 2D games and applications.
Using both tools I created several, actual, finished games, that are still somewhat decent, especially since people are nowadays used to a retro graphics style, thanks to the rise of Indie games. Unfortunately the constant development of technology was not so forgiving: On my 64-bit Windows 7 PC I am unable to execute any of the Klik & Play games I created. The 3D GCS games are DOS-based and they still work to some degree with an emulator like DOSBox. They crash a lot, however.
I had a lot of fun with both game creators. I adapted a lot of stuff from other media into the games I created. For example, I was a big fan of the movie Stargate and the Stargate TV series, so I created a FPS set in that universe, including the typical weapons of the show at that point (I think only the first or first two seasons had aired in Germany yet). I also recreated the "Gate Room" – but other than that it remained one of my unfinished projects. Other more experimental projects suffered the same fate, like a "Godzilla"-simulator where you could stomp on small people and buildings – all within the bounds of the first person shooter engine of the 3D GCS. In Klik & Play I created a platformer which had slow-motion bullet time, inspired by Max Payne (the supposed protagonist was at one point actually called "Dax Frame"). I also created a competitive two-player god simulation, inspired by Black & White, as well as a quiz game for a school project.
These were the golden days. In years past I have tried and tried unsuccessfully to move into full 3D. In 2000 or 2001 I first bought the 3D Game Studio by Conitec. The engine version at that point was called "A4″ and other than a few tests I never got anything finished. Years later I had become a little more proficient in programming and after some more successful tests with "A4″ bought a used "A6″-version. I managed to get even more impressive tests running, but finally gave up. To make it short: I just suck at programming. Also, better graphics usually mean a lot more work in the creation of artwork and that also did not really fit my one-man production style. The pictures below are from a first-person shooter, which was also supposed to include some aspects of a simulation game. I however never even managed to get the enemy AI to shoot at me. They did shoot when they detected the player, but because I horribly suck at math they did not actually aim at the player at all, unless he was standing at a very particular angle. Damn vectors…
Coming full circle, my interest in the creation of games has risen again. Partly aided by an initiative for game studies at my university, I have found myself intrigued by the possibilites of the medium. However, my first tries were – again – nothing more than tests and dry runs. Using Scirra Construct (a tool akin to Klik & Play, just a lot more sophisticated and modern) I tried my best to come up with interesting game ideas. At the time of writing this, my new hope is the creation of a very retro first person shooter, which I think, plays into my strengths and makes it easier to create something fun playing. I was never much of a platform gamer, for example, so why would I start by creating a platform game? I have a lot more experience creating these retro shooters, so this is something I would love to do. The Raycasting Game Maker is most likely a bit too limited for my ideas, however. Therefore my future in game design still seems somewhat foggy…

Two Nash County students recently participated in the Governor's Page Program in Raleigh.
Lucas Pressley of Castalia spent the week of Sept. 24-28 providing administrative support in the Office of the N.C. State Treasurer. He is the son of Charles and Melinda Pressley and a senior at Nash Central High School.
Jackson Valentine of Nashville spent the week of Sept. 24-28 providing administrative support at the N.C. Department of Transportation. He is the son of Cindy Taylor and Mark Valentine and a senior at Nash Central High School.
"By participating in the page program, high school students from all parts of North Carolina have the opportunity to see first-hand how our government and government agencies work," Gov. Bev Perdue said. "These students represent North Carolina's future, and it is important for them to understand how our state functions."
The Governor's Page Program provides students with an opportunity to gain knowledge of the roles and functions of state government. During the week, pages have a chance to attend press conferences, meet with the governor and assist in day-to-day office operations. Some of their responsibilities include filing documents, assisting in mass mailings, answering telephones and delivering agency messages.

Myotonia congenita is an inherited condition that affects muscle relaxation. It is congenital, meaning that it is present from birth.
Thomsen's disease; Becker's disease
Myotonia congenita is caused by a change (mutation) to a gene. It is passed down from either one or both parents to the children (inherited).
Myotonia congenita is believed to be caused by a problem in the part of the muscle cells that are needed for muscles to relax. Abnormal repeated electrical discharges occur in the muscles, causing a stiffness called myotonia.
The hallmark of this condition is the myotonia -- the inability of the muscle to quickly relax after contracting. For example, after a handshake, the person is only very slowly able to open and pull away his hand.
Early symptoms may include:
Children with myotonia congenita often appear to be muscular and well-developed. The child may not have symptoms of myotonia congenita until age 2 or 3.
The doctor may ask if there is a family history of myotonia congenita.
Tests include:
Treatment for symptoms includes:
People can do well with this condition. Symptoms only occur when a movement is first started. After a few repetitions, the muscle relaxes and the movement becomes normal. Symptoms may improve later in life.
Call your health care provider if your child has symptoms of myotonia congenita.
Genetic counseling may be of interest to couples who want to have children and have a family history of myotonia congenita.

2001 Dodge Intrepid Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 17 reviews
All you moms and dads out there who cart around your 2.5 children to various athletic and social events, but who don't want to completely say goodbye to your misspent youth might be interested in a Dodge Intrepid. It combines a sporty look and engineering with a family-sized interior and trunk space that can accommodate up to six passengers (maybe even eight, if you include the trunk).
The 2001 Dodge Intrepid comes in three trims -- SE (formerly the base model), ES, and R/T. All models received thicker glass this year in Dodge's eternal quest to reduce road noise, a common complaint with the Intrepid. The SE and ES come standard with a 2.7-liter, 200-hp V6 or optional 3.2-liter, 225-hp V6. The R/T rips up the road with a 3.5-liter, 242-hp engine. A split/fold rear seat is now an option on SE and R/T models, and standard on the ES. A harness seat-belt is available for the middle rear seat, and optional front side airbags are offered for the first time in 2001.
The 2001 Dodge Intrepid is the best of both worlds for owners who want some fun on the road, but who also want comfort and easy handling for long-haul trips. The four-door sedan is popular for its ultra-cool style, its good gas mileage, responsiveness, and immediate pickup. But drivers complain of a cheap-looking interior, bad transmission, rear blind spots that hamper parking, annoying road noise, and costly maintenance record. It seems many owners have to decide which is more important to them, substance or style.

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand sees a future for advanced manufacturing in Rochester and recently introduced a bill that would aid high-tech manufacturers.
The "Made in America Manufacturing Act" would be a federal program in which states and regional public-private partnerships could compete for funding to aid high-tech manufacturing.
Winning states and regions could use up to $20 million to provide low-interest loans to companies to build new facilities and upgrade equipment. Funds could also be used for job training, and to connect small suppliers with larger companies. The ...
