This may be funny - or it may not, I don't know because I just scanned enough of the article to get a summary - but it in no way is a comment on her ability - or inability - to adequately fill the position of Vice President. Are you kidding? The fact that this prank went on four about 6 minutes without the nitwit having a clue is testament to the nitwit's lack of judgment. Imagine the nitwit being this gullible as President of the United States.

What's strange is that even when I make a comment indicating that this type of gotcha joke doesn't have anything to do with whether or not Ms. Palin would be a good VP, all I see from you are rolling eyes. I would think you wouldn't want to turn your friendly fire on someone who has never indulged in mean-spirited attacks on her. But perhaps you're not here to convince, persuade, or even hear what anyone is saying. Perhaps you're just here to feel the thrill of being The Only Person In The Room Who Knows The REAL Truth. In that case, pop another magazine in your M16 and fire away! Over.......... Do you know how many attacks people have suffered under you in the past several years on this forum. Lets not pretend we are without that mentality from time and time because you and I know better. First of all, there are no sacred cows; I am not on anyone's side; and I call out BS wherever I see it. Second, bringing up "attacks people have suffered under me" is not relevant to my statement of fact that I have not posted negative, mean-spirited comments about Sarah Palin. Since you did not addres this fact directly, I am tempted to just assume that you recognize its accuracy. Third, I don't "attack" people when they express a position I agree with, but you seem to do so. You seem to have a deep-seated reluctance to look for ways to agree with people or understand their point of view. It doesn't seem to matter if someone agrees with you on any individual point, because your "Me vs The Evil Liberals" mentality is so strong that you look around the room and all you see are identical stereotypical liberals. And thus any disagreement on any issue is taken as "evidence" that "We" are all arrayed in a confederacy against you. It blinds you from recognizing when you might be able to make common cause with someone, because you are so intent on splitting the world into Friends and Enemies. I don't know if you consider yourself a christian, but so many modern christians seem to follow the example of John the Baptist (who was the last prophet to preach conviction and damnation under the Law), above the example of Christ (who acknowledged the Law but replaced its condemnation with Grace) . They quote often John 3:16, but rarely continue to verse 17: 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. I would like to respectfully suggest that you really ponder the fact that there is only one Holidayhusker. Therefore, you're never going to find someone who completely agrees with you about everything in the world. This is fine if you are Henry David Thoreau out in the Walden woods. But if you intend to live in the world and if you would like to affect others with your personal beliefs, it would be better to work to find points of agreement and then reinforce those relationships, rather than mentally barricading yourself against The Other.

I am sorry....I don't have time to read Waldens Pond over again. After studying Waldens pond however for some months I can tell you that perhaps you both needed to get out more.

She dug her own grave. For example, the day she was found to have comitted ethics violations stating that she was so pleased to have been found NOT to have comitted any ethics violations. I don't care WHO throws a slow ball like that, the media is going to hit it out of the park, and then look for more. Does that condone the kind of ferocious nasty media coverage she has gotten including the insulting of her 17 year old daughter. Hello.

Her hypocrisy has brought her straw house down on her. When it's time to assign blame, the nitwit should take a good look in the mirror.
