Is Sarah Palin over-qualified?
Two years ago she was mayor of a town of 5200. Before that she was on the city council (village council? Not sure about the correct terminology).

They say she fought tirelessly for that new dumpster for city hall.

She's now frantically applying for a passport so she can drive through Canada for the convention next week.

2. And 2601 of those village residents
were moose, bears and repukes. That was her constituency.

4. And the repukes were the most dangerous.
And most pungent...

10. No Text.

For people who skim through the responses and then click, it's a way of saying 'Don't bother clicking, it's all in the subject line'. People on slow dial-ups tend to not hit the 'view all' responses tag (which kicks in at twenty or more responses).

12. Heck if I know
"No text" is the best I can figure. It means "don't click my post because I only typed a subject line, and nothing in the message window."

We used to type "dcmpbIotasl,anitmw", but it was really awkward.

7. You might be on to something.
The Reptilians and talking heads are knocking themselves out trying to spin how qualified for office she is so rather than argue that let go along and insist that she is way too over qualified for VP.
