Maybelline, Revlon or Loreal... the choices are endless!

I have heard that the "Lower 48" does not understand Alaska and its culture at all. Well, with all due respect I think that some of the issues below do deserve at the very least a few raised eyebrows.

For those of the other Lower 48 frenzied, starry eyed "we got ourselves a really hottie" supporters that feel we don't know about Sarah Palin because we don't live there and we are just being "mean", take a gander at Anchorage Daily New's comments to the editor regarding our "heartbeat away" VP candidate.

Now get out of the liptick jungle and on to some thoughts:

1. She offered a bounty of $150 for each right front leg of freshly killed wolves


2. She is presently under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power


3. She strongly supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge


4. She promotes aerial hunting of wolves and bears even though Alaskans voted twice to ban the practice (VIDEO)


5. She supports the Alaskan Independence Party which seeks independence from the United States (VIDEO)


6. She is a champion for big oil and her campaign slogan has become "Drill, baby, drill!"


7. She believes creationism should be taught in public schools


8. She believes man-made global warming is a farce


9. She is opposed to listing the polar bear as an endangered species because it might limit oil exploitation


10. While mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire the city librarian because the librarian refused to censor books


11. She used $400,000 of state money to fund a propaganda campaign in support of aerial hunting


12. As mayor of Wasilla, she made rape victims pay for their own forensic evidence kits


13. She obtained her first passport just last year (2007)


14. She touts her "experience" as Mayor of a city no larger than some of the minor Chicago suburbs as qualifying for VP even though Wasilla is known as the Meth Capital of Alaska . Seems her own backyard needs a bit of cleaning up!

And on to another interesting tidbit, with friends like these how can Sarah go wrong! Can we say Billy Carter anyone?
