Editing Sarah Palin's Home Away From Work
Jack beat me to my favorite story of the day—that Gov. Sarah Palin charged Alaska taxpayers $60 a night for evenings she spent at home. But he missed what is for me the clinching comic detail of the piece: "She wrote some form of 'Lodging—own residence' or 'Lodging—Wasilla residence' more than 30 times at the same time she took a per diem, according to the reports. In two dozen undated amendments to the reports, the governor deleted the reference to staying in her home but still charged the per diem."
Are those changes we can believe in?

Per diem to stay at home
This is typical of the government welfare mentality of Alaska...$3000 from the oil company, per person- $18.000 for the Palin household- $427 per each Alaskan in federal government earmarks. I am tried of the new person pointing out how corrupt Washington is when their hands are just at dirty!!!
qualifications
Let's see...she enriches herself illegally with taxpayer dollars, abuses her power and likes to shoot guns.
I guess she's as qualified as Cheney.
Palin
Funny our governor here in Maryland lives in the state mansion in downtown Annapolis with his own cook under state employment at the total cost of alot more the $60 per day. Man I think his driver makes more than that. He portrays himself to be the governor of the people (Dem of course). Seems like Palin is a bargain.
