Funny how wired omitted her clarifications:
It's never been an issue she's campaigned on and she said she wouldn't push the Board of Ed to add creationism to the curriculum.
So, nothing more than smug "I'm better than the silly mouth-breathing Christian who doesn't believe in evolution" crap. I don't agree with her, but it's no deal-killer and I won't begrudge her personal beliefs as it's not part of her policy.
President Bush was a half a pretzel away from death at one point. Weird stuff happens, and as you get older it becomes more likely. The "one heartbeat away" phrase was actually the title of a book concerning VP succession, IIRC. I don't think he's in any danger any more than I think Senator Obama is in serious danger from white supremacists. But Murphy is alive and well, or else the Presidential succession wouldn't have to be as detailed as it is.
You would have to ask his doctor.
However, he is not getting any younger and studies have shown that POWs (and victims of battlefield trauma) have higher occurence of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular complaints & illness, to include peptic ulcer disease, hypertension and myocardial infarction.
This info is from "The Body Bears the Burden" by Dr. Robert G. Scaer, BTW.

Are you serious?!?!
I didn't know Palin was a pilot. Hillarious...you can just see 'em walking up to the cockpit halfway through a trans-pac on Air Force 1..."Alright guys...go coffee up...we got this one."
I wouldn't say that, she's worked with the Canadians that were trying to steal revenue from the gas pipeline project they've got going on up there. Had diplomacy not worked, I'm sure she would have dispatched polar bears and dog sled teams to the border with the Yukon.
Watch some Air Force NATOPS-I equivalent check the flight schedule and crap himself.Are you serious?!?!

Random AF Major: "Sir?"
92nd CO: "Yes?"
Major: "I know the SkedsO likes to screw with me, but I don't think this was supposed to make the signed copy."
CO: "What wasn't I supposed to sign for?"
Major: "Umm . . . THAT!"
CO: "Oh, no, that's supposed to be there. You're giving the President and VP their checkride tomorrow."
Major: *gulp*
Check out 0:55.
Apparently Palin owns a floatplane. She's some sort of Grizzly freakin' Adams out there, not to mention that her husband is a snowmobile-racing commercial fisherman who works North Slope oilrigs in the off-season. I think she's going to go hunting at Camp David, then tie the carcasses to the hood of her limo, back to the Naval Observatory, were her kids are playing on the newly-installed hockey rink.

With regards to her tax increase on oil in her state, I read this comment by someone at a website:
There is a difference between a royalty rate and a windfall profits tax. Alaska OWNS the oil in its ground. By increasing the royalty rate as the market price of oil increases they are sharing in market gains.
Obama is proposing a windfall profits tax on aggregate levels of profit. Exxon has a profit rate of 10%. Google has a profit rate of 25%. Obama is suggesting that a special tax be placed on Exxon but not on Google.
Resource royalties and windfall profits are not the same kind of tax.
Hmm...

Well, it'd be a first. Two pilots in office, though I guess Palin's the one in currency...hey, Skeds! VP's signing for the plane tomorrow!
I'll be completely trivial and irrelevant here (I understand it's done by people who get paid to comment on politics, too):
NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR SARAH PALIN'S CALLSIGN
Difficulty: MILF/GILF/VPILF is out...too obvious.

"Stifler's Mom" is too hard to say on the radio.
What was McCain's callsign, anyway?

I'm no going to cite a particular source for this...because unless you've been living under a rock you've seen this argument made...
Why are we looking for an "experienced" President? What the hell does that even mean? When the framers built this thing I don't think any of them had a permanent political elite (ok...maybe Hamilton!) in mind. Sure, they had a far more serious expectation of the civic citizen than the average now, but that doesn't justify the creation of what has become a career governing this country.

Do we really believe first, that any other government post prepares someone to be President, and second, that someone can't do an effective job as a President (or governor, Congressmen, Senator etc...) without having been a career, or aspiring career politican?
I submit that in today's political climate, Abraham Lincoln, Grant, Wilson, Eisenhower...wouldn't have been elected President. Why?
